That’s a superb trajectory.

I went on to the +2A and then an Amiga 500. Loved that machine, but always the fondest memories for me were typing in code out of magazines on my ZX.

“People make fun…”

Do they? They were massively popular in the UK and are generally remembered quite fondly by people who used them as kids.

Learning basic, playing games.

Sure, we griped about stuff, but folk gripe about everything.

This sort of retro-focussed content that makes weird assertions about how people felt and feel gets recycled way too often.

Classic bully behaviour.

Stupid and self defeating.

Not a serious man, by his own admission.

But let’s not forget the time the US dragged the world into a horrible war on terror just so it could maintain oil prices too.

Yes, that was what I joking about.

When this is all over. One way or another. And the dust has settled. Please remember that even moderate republicans supported him.

I think you are getting down voted, not because you are wrong, but because that truth is particularly unpleasant.

It would be like radio free Europe criticising Regan’s policies during the cold war.

You just know that Trump is going to have to say and do some batshit wild stuff to distract us from this.

What next?

My money is on claiming Antarctica as US land because of …uh… Ice prices or something.

Nah, you got Hungary too. All the fash.

Real Art of The Deal shit.

Absolute fucking masterclass in statesman-like diplomacy.

Genuinely a moment for all Americans to be proud of. Truly, exceptional.

This article reads like it is barely edited AI slop or a twelve year old has written it.

It’s just like here but there’s an awful, hollow, gnawing feeling like you’ve already seen this post before just last week.

Been using Lemmy for a couple of years, not seen this once.

Also, the ux is pretty much the same as Reddit.

Yes, and we now know that most Americans will sit by and watch it happen.

Some might take to the internet, clutching pearls, to tell us how they don’t agree with it, but most will just wag fingers and do nothing else.

That line about evil and good men doing nothing … That’s what is happening right now.

Long term solution, learn German.

Robinson is of mixed-race heritage. He describes his background as “half Afro-Caribbean and half English”

Technically he’s British. He’s from Nottingham.

He’s just drawn to places where being a throbber is considered ok.

Being old.

I used to be able to sleep endlessly.

Now I find myself awake early in the morning, despite having gone to bed rather late. And I’d like to go back to sleep but I can’t.

I miss it.

And this isn’t even about needing to get up to pee. That’s apparently something I still have to look forward to.
