It’s been a hot minute, but wasn’t what you’re referring to done by a third-party app? The original consoles had no real concept of a mouse by default, let alone copy/paste from highlighted text. Any highlighting inside an app (e.g. vi/m) was buffered by the app and not the OS?

Old really is how you feel. I feel old now (48, going on 49), but only because of how my life turned out and certain events that I have to deal with (divorce, single fatherhood, getting colonoscopies, etc) by myself. I certainly don’t have as much fun as I used to, and that definitely plays a huge part in feeling old.

All that to say that if your dad is having fun, “not acting his age”, then good for him! I hope he gets many more years of that before shit has to get serious.

To directly answer your question: a 36-old is supposed to act however they want to (within moral reason of course), so long as they and the people around them are enjoying it.

Please stop acting high and mighty for shit you know nothing about. The military is not some at-will job you can just up and quit. It doesn’t work that way.

Please don’t be so ignorant. It’s never that black and white. And if you are dishonorably discharged, nothing they say will make that stigma go away.

High horses don’t matter when the bill collectors and repo men come knocking.

People joining today, maybe. But there are people who joined before this stupid shit went down. And they probably joined as a last resort because they felt they had no other choice. That happens. Not everyone is blessed with options.

Dishonorable discharge and/or military prison is pretty impossible to come back from in a socioeconomic sense. These people have entire families relying in them. It’s either follow orders, or ruin their family. And if you can sit there and wave that off, you lived a charmed life in comparison.

I just wanted to let you know that you’re not alone, and while it never fully goes away, it can get better over time. Shit like this sucks, and what you’re going through is normal; i.e. there is nothing wrong with you.

Keep doing what you’re doing. You got this!

Funny. I thought it was you who said:

I guess the joke is “stupid atheists want everyone to accept their weirdness but they cannot handle someone having a nice innocent lovely religion” or something.

So what is so nice and lovely about Christianity?

~You know, the quaint religion that celebrates, and adorns effigies of, murdering the son of their God and claiming that said murder will save their souls from punishment for their sins (such as murder).~

This thread reminds of that Surprise Motherfucker meme.

The issue this is referring to is because the user cannot paste into a text field. And the user was not rude about it either.

So instead of fixing the actual problem, the developer went nuclear and removed the validation. A dick move in my opinion given the developer’s attitude.

~It’s more sad than funny. 🤷‍♂️~

If SEO doesn’t work out for that author, Social Media Engagement would be a good plan B.

In this case, the bookshelf is stronger than that poor screw. When attaching things, especially things with variable load and the potential for a lot of touching, you absolutely need to either drill into one or more studs (based on length of said item), or use the appropriately-rated drywall anchor (they are rated based on weight load). Both the anchor and screw must pierce the drywall, and the screw must be tightened so that it collapses the anchor back into the drywall. That’s what gives it the ability to hold up.

The company let the idiotic engineer go a couple of months later for deleting AutoCAD from his computer to make room on its hard drive for a game.

So destroying five PCs, and losing a lot of project files, is a-okay 👍. But deleting AutoCAD for a video game is where the line gets drawn? 🤦‍♂️ 😂

And I hope it all happens. Especially the lawyer part.

It was down earlier today. Came back up right around when I posted this.

I hope so, and I hope these people and families get the reparations they deserve.

Plenty. But suggestions are like wishes. You can make them all day long, but they’re useless without action, and right now we need action. Now organizing, that’s complicated.

No. They are raising a valid concern that has already been demonstrated with the Attorney General.
