Yeah, and their video section did some really funny stuff over the years. It’s a damn shame it has to end like this.

Despite subsequent repairs to the parapet, the cracks there periodically reappeared. Fallingwater’s problems were so numerous that Edgar Sr. referred to it as “Rising Mildew”.

This part never fails to amuse me.

Ooooh, cookie! Thanks! 😋

Yes, do feed the squirrels!

When “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” was shot, Harrison Ford was 47. Sean Connery was 59 and played the father of Ford’s character.

This is as close as we got.

The Guardian shedding crocodile’s tears? Boohoo, we spend years vilifying trans people and now look what happened…

I pity the guy. He tried really damn hard (without much success) and then I had to murder him.

Beans, you say? 🐾

Just you wait, the TERFs and the fascists (but I repeat myself) will come for you too.

From left to right: Le comte de Champignac, Fantasio, Spirou, Panoramix
On the ground: Spip and Idéfix

The tome it is referencing is “Astérix en Corse”, particularly the old men sitting in front of the Corsican village and commenting on what’s going on around them.

The last question is too much: I guess it would be the festival of Angoulême.

Edit: Misspelled “Spip” and damn… never heard of the festival of Ajaccio before.

Hardware updates take a little longer.

Don’t mention it, thank you for pointing it out.

That’s the woke mind virus taking control…

I edited it.

You could be right. It may be Windows 2000.

If you point boils down to: I never experienced this, therefore you must be lying; we can stop having this conversation.

I really do not appreciate the insinuations, particularly not “If the biggest hurdle you’ve ever experienced in unionizing an office is “tankies””. Have I said that? You have no basis for this claim and if you really want to question my union activities in order to score a point, that says more about you than me.

Internet communities where an administrator imposes some kind of auto-ban rule for using keywords they don’t like. Or power users posting spam in the chats because they’ve got the tact of a ball-peen hammer.

Well, as I have done some modding here on Lemmy and previously Reddit, you can probably count me among one of those administrators/mods, because that’s where I encountered many of them, apart from the particular incident in my previous comment.

The communities I have managed always had tight rules in regards to what was allowed and what was not. Yet far too many tankies did not care much about those rules at all. A particular favorite of the tankies was…

…and it was explicitly forbidden for anyone to use that. So guess, how much “fun” it was to argue with tankies in modmail why they were supposed to be allowed to use that term because they were “suffering under capitalism” and the users they argued with “deserved” to be called that.

It was not only the disregard for the rules that was aggravating, but their complete lack of empathy for whoever they argued with. They completely denied that other users could “suffer under capitalism” too, showing exactly the lack of empathy for others that I decried in my original comment.

You may have made different experiences, but these interactions and the previously mentioned unionization effort shaped my perception of tankies. And ultimately that’s where things come down for me: If people cannot leave their ill behavior at the door and show no respect for others who may be in a similar situation as they are (let alone work with them), they do not deserve to be part of that community.
