Water is wet. When it gets on things, it makes them wet until the water is gone. When the water is gone, the wetness is gone. The water was the wetness.

I am a millennial and grew up in the time of the family computer being the one computer in the house. My father had an IBM Thinkpad with windows 98 on it, which he replaced some time around 2001/2 (it was a beast of a laptop for its time, but was from before track pads were a thing, so it had the red nub as the built-in mouse). When he replaced it, he let me have the old Thinkpad.

When he was showing me all the cool game demos he collected from mail-in floppys, one of them was for Duke Nukem 3D. It had the entire LA Meltdown part of the game on it. I remember him going into the adult theater, turning to me, and saying, "check this out". He pressed the space bar, Duke whipped out a few dollars, and said, "shake it baby". I didn't understand why a few dollars and a one-liner from an overgrown Bart Simpson would cause a woman to bounce her boobs around, but I think I showed every friend I had those pixelated nipple tassels.

It may have been the first sexualized breasts I had seen in my entire life.

Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7's immediately. I don't think I'll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.

I think the person you are replying to may have been trying to point out the irony of the Americans who voted for Trump because they don't want the state spending money on its poor citizens, when they turn a blind eye to the state investing heavily in private industry.

The only thing I hate more than seeing a standard "MAGA" merch is seeing "TRUMP 2028" merch. It's disturbing how many of those I've seen around since the last US election.

There's an n-word that Republicans tend to use more than other people. However, it is in terrible taste to use it.

Looks like the guy from Eraserhead if he was dropped a bunch as a baby

It's nice to have validation that I am not alone in my childlike weirdness sometimes. You are my kind of people.

If he died of old age tomorrow, his followers would probably think it was a deep state assassination. There would be no convincing these nutjobs that an old, unhealthy person like Trump could die.

The Galaxy S4 was such a good phone. I rocked that thing for almost 5 years. I was bummed that my next phone (Galaxy S8) didn't have the IR blaster so I could use it as a universal remote.
