      You need to press control alt delete and then insert a bent paper clip into the small hole in your CD-ROM drive. No, not that hole, the other one. Oops, you just made a five volt connection which fried every board in the system. Now you need to contact Compaq support. But they were just acquired by HP. And Fry’s went out of business. But it’s Thursday evening and Lost season 3 is starting tonight. Will Kate hook up with Jack or Sawyer?

    Ah man, looking at those bullet points I realize I’ve got the first two down pat (you should see how quickly my family’s faces turn to visual expressions of sighs! Next level disappointment speeds!)

    But I realize now - I’m yet to achieve even a bronze in Internet Arguing!

    SOMEONE FIGHT ME!

      What are you obsessed over?

      I bet it’s something stupid. You’re a big fat dummy head!

      … I might be bad at this as well.

        It’s fine, you’re doing well. You just need a few comments back and forth, then you start your fourth comment with “well, actually I think you’ll find…”.

        On the fifth comment, you need to attack a minor spelling or grammatical error they have made.

        Sixth comment, try and sound like you’re reasonable, and they’re obviously not… then it’s a race!

        First person to compare their opponent to “basically Hitler” wins!

        You should receive between 100 and 1000 argument XP, depending on the level of your opponent (you get about 10% more for a victory, but you can still level up if you lose every time).

        1000002335 actual pic of my bro n I. Not cool man 1- proof I have actual family not fake and 2- offensive description of my actual existence bro, not cool if I could change how I look I would’ve years ago but Verizon got me locked in with that killer speed proprietary to my sick hardware, nothing I cloud do. T9 will always be faster that touch keyboards you can’t convince me otherwise

        (Does bad grammer & missing punctuation add or subtract point from my internet argument skill-rank? Really shooting for that bronze, over here!)

    I had one on Reddit but it didn’t move over to Lemmy (there was an attempt, but it fell flat).

    So now I don’t have it anymore. Still not going back to Reddit though.

      Might be worth some tooling to purge communities with no activity where the mods of that community are also completely inactive. The land grab during APIgate probably led to a lot of familiar community names getting taken with the best intentions but by people who fizzled out on Lemmy more quickly.

    There are a number of reasons why it may not be possible to solve a problem at a particular time. A positive distraction can be healthy during such a phase

      but don’t let it distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

    This resonates with me. I’m going to save it to my cloud folder labeled “memes” where I stash things to repost later when I’m bored.

    Ironically most the niche communities here aren’t active.

    Ancient coins. There’s a Lemmy sub for it but it’s just dead. I posted to it a few times and, well, without any interaction at all, I don’t see the use.

    as a person currently obsessing over multiple videogames with fandoms with a terrible reputation, it do feel like that sometimes

      Welcome to the addiction hamster wheel. You coulda got into opioids, but instead you went with mechanical keyboards
