No one is being cavalier. It was a very serious joke about birds flying blind. The laughter was not expressed in jest. I don't think you're taking this joke seriously enough.

The 90s were a wild time where you'd make 72 episodes of something over three sequential calendar years dumping all this time, effort, and money into it and 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 you'd realize it wasn't popular and cancel it.

Gomez was like only guy on TV who truly loved his wife, and also clearly loved railing her on the reg. It was scandalous. Only allowed because he was coded as some sort of “other.” Also how fucking RAD that John Astin is still alive!?

⁷ The Hunky Jesuses said unto the devil, "It's written, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are devoted to service, ministry, and outreach" ⁸ The devil took The Hunky Jesuses to Twin Peaks and showed them all the districts of San Francisco and their splendor.

⁵ Then the devil taketh The Hunky Jesuses to Dolores Park, and setteth them upon a pinnacle in Hipster Valley. ⁶ Satan saith "If thou be the Sons of God, cast thyselves down: for the crowd shall bear you up and vote for who is Utmost Hunky"

Most vehicles start deprecating the moment you drive them off the lot. Tesla pre-deprecates the Crybertruck so you don't need to worry about that.

Green Acres S6E1 "The City Kids" aired 54 years ago on Sept 15, 1970 and is stupidly still subject to DRM so this screencap only contains the captions. In that episode, Eva Gabor says "The dirt under the pillow always works". I assume she was referring to keeping the Dirt Man away.

You disappoint me, Internet. Google returns nothing relevant for "Give NETBIOS lots of time to run". Not even an acknowledgement of this scene. Really, no one has examined this bit of Hackers before?

Yeah, this isn't meant to be financial thing; but rather genericizing the concept of "like", which has always been the application of one specific reaction using graphics. Unlike slack, you could only choose one per post. themes: traditional: ❤️ agree/disagree: 👍👎 or 💩❤️ scales: 🍺🍻🥃🥂 💤👓😒💯 🥇🥈🥉

True, the metrics are skewed (and really self-selected as a survey). But it's not about calling out individuals directly, it's about recognizing that the religious/conservative geographic identity is a sham (unless the liberal Austin metro is carrying all of Texas for creamy creampies).

It would be interesting because the meaning would be totally up for grabs for some of the more ambiguous emoji use or the way the poster arranged them as a "scale" (from disable to like).

But logically it would be exactly like twitch channel emotes or slack emoji responses. Slack emoji responses pull from the full set of standard & custom emojis, you can't enforce a subset. Enforcing a subset would be a really fun way to customize and theme your account.

A labeler wouldn't do it. Labelers label the account; the consumers, or the community at large—not the poster—influences/sets the label. But I do think something like that would work. You'd select response sets on your account, or on a per-post basis. It would require some UI/UX considerations.

Customized and limited by the poster. If you just want likes, only allow ♥️.

What if Bluesky didn't support "likes" natively and you had to subscribe to reaction services/streams that offered customized Boolean reactions 💩 or 👍 or 👎. How would interaction be different? Maybe it's the poster that subscribes their posts to these, rather than the reader.
