No. A cold is a virus, you won’t catch one by cooling yourself.

What will probably happen is Trump will say a hundred stupid things no-one bats an eye to. Biden will screw up one soundbite and conservative media will twist and beat that dead horse until it get reincarnated.

When I was a kid I had a record player and usually played a particular record that had various artists on it Like Johnny Horton (Battle of New Orleans) and Elvis Presley (Blue Suede Shoes).

Now 40+ years later, it’s usually stuff like Frog Leap Studios (Leo Morrachelli https://www.youtube.com/user/leolego/videos) mainly so I don’t have to hear my cats screaming around the house in their nightly turbo mode.

I still like Johnny Horton, but anything from Elvis makes my eye twitch.

“our” pants, comrade.

“World’s Best Dad” mug with the word “Best” crossed out?

The free plan on Proton doesn’t let you torrent.

The handcuff thing. Being on a first name basis with the local cops is pretty common in a small town like where I lived for a bit when I was an angry teen.

Instructions unclear. Anyone know how to clean a popcorn ceiling?

Me too. the local police even stopped handcuffing me behind my back because I’d just step over so my hands were in front again.

Some do, some don’t. If you don’t find one right away you gotta keep trying and you’ll find one eventually.

Why do you keep starting new accounts to post this site?

Squirrels. Cute as hell in the wild, not so much in my attic. They are tiny little destructive machines.

Reminds me of a joke I heard…

Kid goes to his father, Dad what does a vagina look like?"

Dad: “Before sex or after sex?”

Kid: “uh… before sex.”

Dad: “Like a rose, with all it’s pedals in full bloom”

kid: thinks for a second. “huh ok. What about after sex?”

Dad “Ever see a bulldog eating mayonnaise?”

Unrelated but have you looked on Anna’s Archive? They have a bunch of Bande dessinée on there that may be what you’re looking for.

Thankfully not too many, Often I’ll find some things are marked but not everything in smaller stores like some grocery, variety stores, second hand shops etc.

I do the same in stores. If there’s no prices listed I’ll just walk away. I absolutely hate surprises at the register.

First computer, Tandy Coco 2 (TRS-80) in 1988 or 89.

First phone (other than a landline) was a Motorola bag phone around 1996(?)

“No Mr Netanyahu, it is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that, in a little over six months, your extremist government has killed over 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 78,000, 70% of whom are women and children,”

There are even people here on lemmy trying to push that Yahoo’s bullshit narrative that the demonstrations are pro hamas. Thankfully most of lemmy can see through the crap and downvote the hell out of them.

I dunno, one kid from down the street near me looks pretty rectangular.

Where I live I can’t even get to the city within an hour.
