He's not still there though. But don't worry! He was replaced by an equally shitty bootlicker

I always thought it was because those thick vape clouds look like big cotton balls

These look like they use the inferior Luer slip needles

Did a double take and had to check which community I was in.

You know how every old person you know has to hold things further and further away to read them the older they get? This is presbyopia, or "age-related farsightedness." It eventually happens to everyone, it's just part of getting older. Basically the lens in your eye stiffens over time because of a protein deficiency, and that causes the light to refract at the wrong point in your eye. Folks with otherwise acceptable vision typically correct it with reading glasses

Ah! Shoulda done more research, my bad. My first MacBook came with Leopard on it and I eventually upgraded it to Snow Leopard. I think that computer eventually died before I could upgrade it any further than that

That's because Apple hasn't charged for OSX/MacOS updates since 2013 with OSX 10.9

Edit: I also don't think they were ever $99. I upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 back in 2009 and I think it was only like $30, and they had to ship me a disc with the update so it's not like they didn't have any overhead they had to pay for

I actually don't mind the way durian tastes, but I find the smell to be off-putting enough that the whole experience is ruined for me

Well shit. I checked to see if it showed my name and it didn't seem to on my side 😮‍💨

We sprung for the "premium seating." It was only maybe $10 more per person, but you get seated along the diving cliff so you can see the show better. And because we were one of the last tables of the night, we got lucky and ended up with the best table in the place, right next to/above the cliff divers. I'm not really sure how best to describe it, so it's a good thing I have video evidence 😅
