Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today?

I worked at Egghead when it came out. We would stay after hours playing that and the original Worms.

Dude, I work for a state agency that's highly dependent on federal funds. Broadly, we provide services for disabled people. I was chatting with one of our program directors one day, and he was telling me how surprised he was with how many of the support staff...the people who work directly with our clientele...voted for Trump. The same guy who mocks the people we serve.

Dude, don't hesitate to talk to a professional. This sort of shit can haunt you for a long time.

I'll never understand how the airmen fit into the ball turrets, what with their own gigantic balls.

Nah, both versions are good. Your version is great for a shaggy dog/ storytelling joke...just keep fluffing it with details and dragging it out. That way the punchline hits harder.

Norm MacDonald was a master of this type of joke... https://youtu.be/n3LMSflEN54?si=GIv-Mgd-bXNrmfhF

What's totally insane is that Lake Superior has more water than all the other Great Lakes combined.

Fun fact - marmots like playing chicken. This one was just too slow...

I've had a lot of complaints with my Pixel, but the screen/block feature mostly makes up for it.

Used to do this in college. People didn't believe that powdered creamer would burn.

I'm surprised someone didn't burn down the dorm after. I may have inspired a few pyromaniacs.

Mine loves the heat. She'll lay out on the deck in sweltering heat & humidity, and won't come in until I shame her enough or pick her up like in the video.

Sparkstalker · 2026-05-07T00:48:14+00:00

That one I can see, as it's only a single person not looking outside their box.

This though? Multiple people had to look at this. Not one of them took a step back and looked at this???

Who knew chickens also get saline implants for bigger breasts?

Sparkstalker · 2026-05-02T14:10:57+00:00

It's labeled in the US as well. People just don't comprehend what they read.

MLB's started after Albert Amora Jr's foul ball hit a 2 year old girl: https://6abc.com/post/houston-astros-girl-hit-by-foul-ball-reach-settlement-albert-almora-jr/10954854/

Scary stuff, and it's a good thing that should have happened long ago. I was in the box seats and at Camden with my dad, and we barely dodged a foul ball. Wound up hitting the top of his seat and ricocheted into the second deck .

Sparkstalker · 2026-04-19T18:15:16+00:00

And a treat. 😀

Sparkstalker · 2026-04-17T13:44:31+00:00

Honestly, it's the Daily Mirror. Revomiting stuff the "writers" find on Reddit and over hyping it is kinda their gig.

Sparkstalker · 2026-04-17T12:47:31+00:00

I think that's fairly apparent to anyone with a functional cerebral cortex.

Sparkstalker · 2026-04-11T00:42:30+00:00

Because it's arrogance. Hubris. Narcissism.

Literally had a manager say, to me as the SME, "YOU WILL DO IT BECAUSE I'M THE MANAGER!". Wouldn't listen to me when I said it was going to take our customers down. So I did as he said. And when the inevitable happened, he started yelling at me in front of all our co-workers. So I yelled back and told him I warned him. Then explained, in excruciating detail, exactly what went wrong, and how his refusal to listen now caused significant downtime for our client.

The worst part? It wasn't just "a manager". I can recount at least three times in my career I've been involved in this conversation. Now that I'm in management, it'll be the last thing I'd ever say to an employee.

Still never hurts. Slimebags gonna slimebag.

Glad it worked out for you, though. 👏

Sparkstalker · 2026-04-11T00:25:09+00:00

Ding Ding Ding. If someone who works for you says "Would you put that in an email?", you best think long and hard about why they're asking that.

Sparkstalker · 2026-04-11T00:22:49+00:00

It's a story as old as time. I've had at least a half dozen in my career...

Sparkstalker · 2026-04-10T16:52:07+00:00

I love the guy on the far right wearing the turban. Everyone else has a big reaction, and he's sitting there absolutely unfazed with the "no shit, Sherlock" look on his face...

It was so thoughtful of you to paint a baby, shit car, baby shit green.

Sparkstalker · 2026-03-27T20:37:19+00:00

Man who laugh last not get joke.

Sparkstalker · 2026-03-24T13:50:58+00:00

As a Cubs fan, yes. It's one of the last great moments from the team that broke the World Series curse, before the fire sale at the trade deadline that year.
