Real Mexicans drink bud lite. I swear it's a joke.

They don't realize that race is essentially fiction. Skin color is an easy visual test if someone is good or bad. We're fucking apes.
Don't forget Curtis Yarvin, and his predecessor Adelson. They think democracy was a mistake.
They'll let you rent one at 21 in the US but it's more expensive with insurance up until age 25.
Come to think of it, it's probably the only sane thing about any kind of insurance..
Yeah it's wild. I don't think it's good but I'm not doing a great job teaching. One of my gen Z nephews expressed an interest so I gave him my old PC, took it apart with him and put it back together, explained everything.
He rearranged his room and told me when he hooked everything back up his games were super slow. Every time I touch his PC I clean it up from scam shit spyware etc. I pretend not to notice where all this stuff came from.
But this time was different. He'd plugged his monitor into the motherboard instead of the graphics card. He recently redid his room again and got it right this time! Small victories.
Is you is, or is you ain't my constituency?
For real. I've taught people copy paste shortcuts and they act like I'm an alien.
So I've been in the DOS/Windows world for at least 30 years. I have never used Linux, but I can configure a Cisco server or switch and stack a rack. Yet I fail your test?
I'm a xennial. I was so excited by computers, and later the internet. It completely absorbed me to the point that I would get up an hour early for school so I could mess around with the computer before catching the bus. A beautiful (ugly) Compaq with a 200n megabyte hard drive, 2 megs of ram. 86 architecture. I was about 11 years old.
I played a few games, but I spent much more time messing around the system in DOS. Making batch files, then working with qbasic. Of course I played Nintendo games as well. After we got internet I used a 28.8kbps modem to upload my own webpage via FTP.
I remember thinking, even as a child/teenager, that the kids of the future were going to be incredible, being born into the digital internet age. I was so wrong. My classmates struggled with computers because they weren't amazed by them like I was. Touch typing class had nothing on ICQ.
I think there are a lot of xennials on Lemmy. It was crushing to see that the generations before and after us can't comprehend the basics of computers. Then smartphones happened and everything got so much worse.
I have ADHD and sometimes can't focus to do more brain intensive work if I'm in a room with a bunch of people talking. Street/background noise doesn't bother me at all. I grew up suburb rural adjacent but I've worked in huge cities for long periods and it just doesn't bother me like six people having two conversations would.
Upgrade your Mexican food game to birria or tacos de lengua/cachete.
