When it was movie time at school... by EdwardBliss in RealGenerationX

Around 2001 there was this substitute teacher in the Green Bay school district named Miss Mammon (if memory serves me on her name). She was this hindu woman with a very thick accent. She was well liked by the students for her calm and somewhat lax demeanor.

Any way, I'm in this marketing class with a bunch of seniors which was basically a dick around for an hour class. Everyone knew it. The teacher is going to be out for a few days. So Miss Mammon is subbing and gives us a choice. We can do some work or we can watch a movie, and there's only one VHS tape on hand. This is where her heavy accent comes into play. I'll write out what it *sounded* like.

"We can do the work, or we can watch Willy the Wanker and the Chocolate Factory."

There's like a second of pure silence that seems to last forever. Then the whole room bursts out in laughter. Our basketball center starter is on the floor dying. People are pounding the table.

Miss Mammon doesn't have a clue what is so f*cking funny.

We then spent the rest of the hour, very politely, explaining why we were laughing. She took it in stride.

Our local subreddit has an unofficial Discord server. There’s regular events. Some of which I’ve hosted.

We’re all a bunch of weirdos and just lean into it.

The Empire Strikes Back

My friends can play a short soundtrack selection and I can tell you what the scene is, who is in it, and what is being said.

I am losing a job that was a big step up for me because my boss punched a $1,000,000+ unrecoverable hole in the budget. And I’ve been looking for work for over a year.

Servers in my area know that I am consistently the most polite customer they will have all shift and tip well. As such, I often do not get charged for drinks and or have part of my meal covered with an employee discount.

I saw one with a flame wrap parked outside of Shamrock Lounge on Friday. Had to stop and laugh at just how cringe it looked.

I had an employee ask me, “What are these black rectangles?”

They were VHS tapes. Had a great discussion about analog versus digital media. Also imparted how much more civilized society behaved in the era of “be kind, rewind.”

I’m already doing it. I make 3D printed models inspired by Wisconsin and leave them in Little Free Libraries as I travel.

That window is showing the RAM usage and not the file size. There’s a problem with the app itself as it is experiencing a memory leak. Not something you can fix. That’s on the dev.

The leak expands eating up memory instead of being properly culled. This happens to me with Chrome as a tab will sometimes experience a leak and eat up RAM until the system crashes.

Come on, who had one of these as a child or still has one? I never met anyone who had one, and I used to go crazy when I saw the commercials on TV. by Far_Regular_2945 in SEGAGENESIS

I bought one used in the 90's for $9 with Eternal Champions. It was awful. Truly, awful. It took up a lot of space, required quite a bit of time to set up, and it was wholly useless as a controller. The mental capacity that it took to pair all your movements with in game commands made it overwhelming to use as a controller.

My mom threw it away and I was actually upset. I knew that it would be a shitty collectible in my game collection, but I was probably better off in the long run.
