There’s a really old movie about an eccentric woman who gets awestruck at one point when she spots a workman in overalls with a loop like this - typically used to carry a hammer. She breathlessly explains that “the loop” is the sign of a true master with in-depth knowledge and experience, almost like he’s part of a priesthood. I have no idea what movie it is. I can picture her face vividly but can’t come up with a name.
Perl was once described as “the swiss army chainsaw of scripting languages.” For a second I thought they meant Larry Wall. I associate Matt Trout more with his libraries and the Catalyst framework. Definitely a Perl guru tho. RIP, buddy.
Taking a break from running a TV camera at an event, I said to another camera operator who was in a wheelchair, “It feels great to get out of there and just walk around!” He considered this for a moment and just replied, “Yeah.”

I could totally see this being sold in a booth at a Con.

It had no business being made, so it wasn’t.
That’s the spirit!!! Also it will be raining - indoors!
Never dreamed it but my friends are kind of living it - they are compulsive thrift shop book buyers who built an addition onto their house for their collection of 50k+ books. High ceiling, rolling ladders, the works. Their garage is like a stack room at the library.
I know I can do it, and don’t call me a goon.
Good catch! The internet loves simpe rules for whether somebody deserves a black hat or a white hat without pesky details like a thought process.
I was wrong to call you the Psych 101 student, since you weren’t doing the Psych 101 student behavior I described. “They’re not the same thing” is more of a typical social media comment from someone who simply likes to argue, as you’re continuing to do. Not interested.
I would just turn the machine back on and wait longer.
Duh.
Found the Psych 101 student.
I would defy anyone to distinguish between the smirk the article describes - “a half-smile where one side of the lip lifts slightly” from the google definition of smirk - “a facial expression characterized by a subtle, often one-sided, upward curving of the mouth, often without showing teeth.”
Article goes on to say the same smirk is also a non-narcissist’s sign of satisfaction at seeing justice served.
So will you be the Psych 101 student who is suddenly a psychoanalyst and labels people because they smirk, or will you understand that something you saw on lemmy doesn’t equip you to judge anyone?
I don’t see how it’s weird, hypocritical, disingenuous, or in any other way puzzling that different individual people think differently.
Bonespurs says a lot of things. In a 1967 case Afroyim v. Rusk the US Supreme Court held that no US citizen can involuntarily lose their citizenship. But you’re right that the USA I once knew is dead - in that one a spoiled toddler who can’t find his own leaky asshole with a funnel would never have been elected President.
In the early 60s my teenage cousin constantly held a “transistor radio” like this up to her ear, listening to top 40 stations. I bet it sounded similar.

Memes notwithstanding, the Supreme Court hasn’t consistently ruled in Trump’s favor, even stuffed with 3 of his nominees (thanks to Moscow Mitch). The court did save his ass in their insurrection ruling, but in his second term they’ve been ruling about 50-50 for and against him so far. Here’s an article if you’re interested.
