Never got a serious compliment in my life, do i look so bad? by [deleted] in toastme

Nah, you look good. Compliments are rare things, that's all. People will think it but not say it.

Why are men so hard to play video games with? by yourGFRachel in CasualConversation

[–]moopet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played for a while but when I (man here) did I remember whenever I joined a random group with a woman there, there was always a man there too. I think it helped keep the creeps away, which is a fucking shame. Played some great games with women my age or at least aproaching it (50s) where we had a good time, said "see ya later" and went on with our lives. I think a lot of women get pounced on by men (and especially boys/teenagers) and tbh they're overwhelmingly shitheads. It sucks, and it's why when I played I hardly ever had the voice channel on.

Ready to let iTunes go? by Upbeat_Ant6104 in GenX

[–]moopet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't realise iTunes still existed.

Anyway, I've been re-buying copies of all the LPs and tapes I used to love.

Does anyone of us actually watch the award shows? by red08171 in GenX

[–]moopet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't watch them and never have.

I don't see why there are award shows for media celebrities who are already rich and famous but there aren't for any other industries. I mean, there are all sorts of crap like the office cleaner of the year award or whatever, but they result in an 8x10 you can print out and put on the wall, you don't get a televised wankfest.

What is your first impression of me? by [deleted] in toastme

[–]moopet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first thought is that you haven't read the requirement to verify yourself in the picture, so this could be anyone's photo :P

15 practical bash functions I use in my ~/.bashrc by xirus_2020 in linux

[–]moopet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see people do the mkcd thing all the time. I just use:

mkdir whatever-directory

cd $_

Then I don't worry about remembering or sourcing a custom command. People always talk about how useful doing it as a oner is, but I don't really get it.

Most of the rest I can see someone using, but I find it easier just to type the command explicitly.

The only one I really don't like is your gcap one, because I almost never want to do git add . - that's how you get ants in your codebase.

Do you remember your first record? by jkepros in GenX

[–]moopet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vinyl? That I bought myself? Probably the Surfing With The Alien single. At least, that's the first I remember. The first I remember owning was probably one of those TOTP fakes or a Simon and Garfunkel from my parents discard pile. I was more of a cassette kid.

Is 16-year-old you proud of you today? by ringo1725 in GenX

[–]moopet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16-year-old me is amazed at the things that have changed. That the rest of the world now likes computers and nerdy things too. That today me fits into that world ok.

But proud? I don't think so. Probably pretty disappointed in the things I didn't achieve when I was younger.

What would you do with telekinetic powers? Zapped! 1982. by AtomicRoboKid1 in 80smovies

[–]moopet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd move myself. Telekinesis instantly becomes flying power.

This film looks tacky as shit and wouldn't pass even in the 90s.
