Retired IT guy, all-around nuisance

I always knew Arthur C Clarke was an agent of Satan, especially after the disappointment that was 3001: The Final Odyssey.

I’m Bernie Sanders left and wish I had a gas stove and could buy more steak.

I’ve been using an 8 GB MP3 player I got 6 years ago for 30 bucks and a full charge still lasts for hours and hours.

I can just hear some people going, “WHAT? Are you crazy?”. I was a little tike in the early 60s and the only monitor my mom had was me screaming or the “THUNK” of me falling and hitting the floor.

There was no catalyst specifically but I deleted my shortcuts and uninstalled the app a couple of weeks ago because there just isn’t anything for me on Twitter, X or whatever. Have not gone back since.

The last time I saw a Wizard of id comic strip was in the early 70s.

None of the stores where I live now do that. If the produce has a numbered sku sticker on it, you could just punch in the 4 numbers but if there’s no sticker anywhere on your apples or something, you have to look them up and make sure you hit the right one because there are a lot of different types of apples and pears and whatnot. A cashier generally knows the product number by memory or can find it superfast.

I do not like them at all, especially when I have a lot of produce to weigh.

You broadened the term so much you turned it into a huge amorphous blanket that covers generations of invectives. I’ll stick with Merriam-Webster, thanks https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke

As with most property management companies, they’ll just tell you, “Hey if you don’t like it, move”. I think they may have put a small blurb in the apartment complex newsletter a month prior but nobody reads those. Also, I had just upgraded to a phone that had mobile data, otherwise, I could not have used the machines because they no longer had coin slots and the app must connect to the Internet to use it. I also had a large bowl of quarters left over that I ended up using at the car wash… Which will soon be cashless also.
