I don't get it.
Kids show from the 60s. Very fitting for Melania lol.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Rocky_and_Bullwinkle_and_Friends
It was also on Cartoon Network in the 90's and Boomerang in the early 2000's.
And a movie from 2000
Oof. That movie was a hard watch when I was a kid. I added it to my collection recently, thinking that I was too young to appreciate it, but I still haven't been able to finish watching it.
i went with friends to watch it in the second run theater back in the day. we did bad movie nights all the time and would make fun of them like mst3k and it was great. no one else was in the theater so we got to play mystery science theater in a real theater! it was great! we even brought a pizza and had ditched school, it was wonderful.
the movie was so bad we ran out of stuff to make fun of (like, we had to start repeating stuff to make fun of) after 45 minutes so we started playing tag. we had another hour of that theater being ours and we were going to use it.
Did you know that you can rent a theater? Back when I did it, it was relatively affordable: about $200 for 2.5 hours. I went with a small group of friends and we played Halo
it is very, very tempting but i'd rather sink the money on getting a better home theater.
great for a medium group of friends though, as long as they don't mind me bringing in a cuban buffet (the shack i wanted to buy for my own and turn into an ice creamery, it is now a cuban restaurant i will make them cater)
Lemmy user base is older than i expected
I think a big chunk of us are gen X. We used BBS forums, Usenet, then slashdot. Then it went mainstream. Move to digg. Move to Reddit. It keeps getting ruined. Now we're here but I guess at some point we'll migrate again. Nothing is permanent.
Hey now some of us are older Gen Z. But I grew up around a lot of old tech so I'm weirdly more similar to millennials and Gen X in some regards on that front.
I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one. I took pretty much the same path. Can't forget many thousands of hours spent on IRC.
You should move to piefed next
Slashdot represent!
This was before my time. But there is a pretty wide range of users here, I’ve noticed.
Gen X local bar.
Have you ever seen the movie they made in like 2000? It's interesting to say the least.
They actually filmed that in the town I live. I still haven't bothered to watch it though.
Even old farts can use new tech.
new tech is more user friendly than old tech, so i don't see why not
WHY IS MY LEMMY BLINKING 12:00
That's the signal to insert the Betamax cassette.
I DON'T LIKE BETAMAX I LISTEN TO STEELY DAN
IT KEEPS SCREAMING PC LOAD LETTER. I BURNED MY LAST PRINTER WHAT THE HELLS
I am so glad I missed this 60's reference. That means I'm young!
It is also not really a reference that is widely known outside of the US (or North America).
I think I saw a Rocky and Bullwinkle pinball Machine at an arcade in my metro area (Surrey Central City Fun Park)
She still has a heavy ~~Russian~~ Slovenian accent/intonation despite many years living in America, and her voice is reminiscent of Natasha, one of the villains from Rocky and Bullwinkle who along with Boris were stereotypical Russian caricatures created for a cartoon that aired during the cold war.
Slovenian. Slovenia was not only never part of Russia, the Soviet Union but not even the East Block. It was part of Yugoslavia which was block free. It's a beautiful country, doing fairly well too and they got rid of Melania which is a plus.
Slovenian might be also the most distant Slavic language to Russian, it is Slavic though of course.
You're right, my bad. I corrected my original post. Cheers.
She's Slovenian.
Thanks, corrected the original post to reflect that.
I'm actually rather astonished that her accent is so heavy and her diction is so stilted, after living in the US for 30 years. It's as if she doesn't have to speak to anyone in English. She also seems to have trouble pronouncing words correctly, even when they are written for her.
She has no friends
For years, her and Barron spent most of their time with her parents, also illegal immigrants, and they all spoke Serbian. Word was that when Barron started school, he could barely speak English, and he spoke it with a Slavic accent.
Hey? If you don’t have any friends or you don’t have anything to say, how do you get to know how to speak foreign language?
