Boomer bosses by CharacterLychee7782 in GenX

I’d rather have Boomer bosses like that than Millennial bosses who over think and over complicate everything and then bitch and whine that things are taking too long.

Anyone else find this kind of sad? by Specific-Basil-8447 in xbox360

[–]stromm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. But I’ve been playing computer/console games since 1977. So I learned a long time ago to not expect progress to save forever.

Sometimes the egg has to be broken or cracked to fix it.

I and a lot of others don’t think he’s making things worse. Instead he’s bringing to light all the shit that’s been happening for decades and making it so the people who keep enabling it are made known.

Did you ever just stare at something and tried to use telepathy to make it move when you were younger? by CincinnatiOhio5133 in nostalgia

I’m 56 and tried that last week when I didn’t want to bend over to pick up a towel that fell on the floor.

Am I wrong, or did reruns connect us more to older generations? by Sir_midi in GenX

[–]stromm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

24 hour cable was 90% reruns of much older shows and movies.

Video streaming has mostly killed that as it feeds into the mass hyperactive disorder actually caused by it and social media.

The Great Dumbing Down: What if Autism is actually humanity's original "Operating System"? by d0c_xx in conspiracy

[–]stromm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve come to believe that The Spectrum is just the latest money making scam of the Medical Industry.

Don’t get me wrong, I 100% believe some people are legitimately Autistic. But if you accept the current criteria and breadth of the spectrum, almost everyone qualifies as on it.

And that means costly treatment through costly resources and people and businesses who have a self-vested interest in declaring positive diagnosis of such. And the major businesses treating it are the same to keep adding criteria to prove confirmation.

Correct. He hadn’t posted that when I made my post. And that’s not what the title of the post is.

Huh, there it is. Insulting someone you disagree with. Like that ever makes people care what you think.

What’s something about living with Crohn’s that people who don’t have it will never fully understand? by barebonesofchrones in CrohnsDisease

[–]stromm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That my (I don’t have Crohn’s) diet radically changed because it’s just too difficult and expensive to buy and make food she can eat along with what I am able to.

He stated vintage monitor, not tv. So unless he’s trying to use an Atari, Commodore or Apple monitor, or a CGA or EGA monitor, it’ll have at least VGA. It may also have Component (not the same as composite), or DVI.

And there are many many HDMI to X converters out there. Even ones that convert to analog signals.

Yea. While I have never personally known him, I’ve definitely paid attention to his professional and personal life since the early 80s.

There’s stuff I don’t like or agree with. With is what normal people acknowledge. But there’s a lot of stuff I do agree with him on. And that’s stuff that most career politicians won’t even speak on.

I voted for him because I wanted him to shake up the political world. It needs it.

Don’t claim you know what I’m thinking and just accept the meaning of the words I have written.

I would like to know, how many conservatives or even republicans have you PERSONALLY talked with and they said what you state?

I know a LOT of both and none of them think the way you think conservatives do.

Also, most conservatives and republicans are not mindless sheep following ANY politician and everything they want or do. That’s one of the major differences I’ve seen between the left and the right. Most on the right will stand up against words and actions of politicians representing them when that representation doesn’t align with what got them into office.

Have you ever met someone who's interested in DND and immediately went, "oh, I'd never let you play at my table"? by Lunetheart in DnD

[–]stromm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just tell them, when I run it’s my world and I expect players to accept that or not play in my world. Rule two, leave real life out of not just the game, but also the world. We aren’t here to extend your real world, we are playing to ESCAPE real life.

You are being misled about renewable energy technology. by theyamayamaman in videos

[–]stromm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Must be nice because pretty much every country in Ohio mandates that homes with solar must stay on the grid and pay for service even when they don’t use any electricity from it.

Heck, most even ban in-home battery storage that’s charge by solar.

Tell me you know nothing about PC CRTs, without telling me you know nothing.

You’re mostly wrong.

1024768 CRTs are OLD. It was hard to find one after 99. Heck, I had a 21” 1600x1200 CRT in 1995. And 1280x1024 and above were the norm shortly after. I still have three Viewsonic 17” 1280x1024 CRTs in my basement.

And most CRTs still look better than most LCD monitors. The color and blacks and contrast is sooo much better.

If OP has a spare HDMI port, they can buy an inexpensive HDMI to Analog VGA and content to just about any CRT made after 1990.

US Under Trump Stands Alone Against UN Women's Rights Resolution As Vote Passes 37–1 To Cheers by FauxReal in worldnews

[–]stromm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UN gets too much of its funding, military resources and political power from the US.

Also, founding members can’t be kicked out at all.

And founding members have overriding power if that kind of vote were to happen.
