I learned that from the other reply

I see. I didn’t think I ever heard about that. I’m only familiar with them as in a digital version of paperwork, not a digital copy of a document.

I understand exactly how that happens then.

I’m not a kid (see my other replies in this thread lol), but I’ve never had to use PDFs for much at all. The closest I’ve ever been to editing one is clicking a box to draw a signature or check a checkbox.

So I’ve gotta ask. Why would one need to rotate a PDF? They would be made on a computer, and naturally default to the correct orientation, no? I can’t imagine why one would ever be sideways.

My younger brother will not flinch when talking about playing a first person game, (he says it for every game though) he will say a controller is superior.

Now I understand that there is a lot of wiggle room to debate the “best” input method, but I will die on the hill about a mouse being the best (and maybe best possible) input for look/aiming in a first person sense.

The left hand could use an analog input for sure, but digital movement is so rarely an issue it didn’t matter a whole lot.

I will go as far as to throw him a bone and say that controllers are probably the best for something like a platformer (his genre of choice), or a racing game, or in some cases, 3rd person action. I will typically use Rocket League as an example of that, because that game is one of the few that analog movement is much, muuuch more important than analog camera control.

But keyboard and mouse is so widely usable for (and so often a clear front runner) that I have to dunk on him every time he shits on kb+m.

But then I think about my coming up learning and using computers, and our built in familiarity with kb+m, whereas these days, these scrubs are using touchscreens almost exclusively, and a keyboard just looks ancient right off the bat. And of course anything that “old people” use is definitely just totally obsolete and gross as soon as something else comes out.

So I give him consideration in that regard, but it saddens me that he won’t think critically enough to understand the differences, and is not thinking about it. His brain is very literally saying “old way bad, new way good”.

He’s still too young, but damn the communication barrier is frustrating.

Tablets… in use at 2nd grade…

Damn. I know whether to call you a baby or call myself a geezer anymore.

The Internet itself didn’t even become widely available until I was in 4th grade or so. Windows 95 was only a year old when I got my very first access to any computing device beyond a very simple calculator.

Being “online” wasn’t a permanent status, it only applies for as long as you were allowed to tie up a phone line.

I could say more, but you’ve heard a bunch of back in my days already probably.

I got used to looking for registry tweaks, but I don’t even know what to call it exactly.

The closest I’ve got is: A place for accessing hidden settings in Windows. I’ve made a couple typos in there and nuked an install or two of XP, but I never really changed much personally. Just kinda looked up various ways people would use it to accomplish x, y, or z, out of curiosity.

I don’t have to deal with it anymore at least.

I think a lot of concerts would be amazing with acid.

I’m not very familiar with PF, or familiar at all with their personal history. I’m actually assuming Syd is a member. I don’t even know that. I’ve only listened to 2 of their albums (and while tripping)

But if this is a particular legendary one, it’d definitely be worth it.

Damn that’s the saddest “username checks out” moment I’ve ever seen. 🫂

I think they were making a joke from the perspective of the future the OC made.

You already were a girl 20 years earlier. Srs/ga stuff/hrt or no.

Insert obligatory “still cis tho”

Damn TS3 was still kinda wet behind the ears and maybe even still in beta last time I played with it. I only used it for one group and I cut ties with them.

I never even used it, I only know TS2 and it’s purplish, super basic ugly interface. (If anyone even remembers that- would’ve been back in mid to late 00s)

But the real one, not the rebooted mac.

What is “a 0.02%”?

Don’t forget to stand up and say MCDONALD’S.

I’m just gonna be blunt. And I mean exactly what this sounds like.

There is NOTHING negative you can do to a Nazi lover that could possibly be construed as immoral.

Illegal, sure (in this current farce of government). But every dead Nazi is good for the world. Bar none, no exclusions. I wanna see Nazi corpses everywhere. I wanna see clips of them suffering before their deaths. Comeuppance is such a delicious beverage. The tears of the wicked can wash anything down.

They can’t be reformed, and everything they do would be suspect for the rest of their lives. You can’t negotiate with them, either.

I’m just gonna stop here. I probably got on at least 3 watch lists for this comment.

No, it makes little literal sense. How much sense it makes contextually depends on the usage.

I always think of that one in the same sense of famous and infamous. My brain accepts that only as inflammable things are REALLY flammable.

And even then my brain needs a second to recover from the 180 I mentally have to do to make that make sense.

If “it” is actually the subject then it would not be a contradiction.

But when “it” is a pronoun for something else (which is definitely at least 99.9% of the time.

I do get irritated when they have 2 different pronunciations of a name that’s spelled the same. And they assume the less common one.
