How’s that any different from today?

(Just kidding, gallows humor)

I think it’s like “vee-shee-swah”?

Just angrier and angrier all the way through

Hmm… maybe Zebra > Okapi > Giraffe?

This one’s my favorite!

Watching a playthrough of the God of War franchise: “who’s this Kratos guy, he seems like a bad-ass…”

Returns home, founds a new religion: “No, see, Ares IS cool and all, but I’m telling you, someone’s going to come along and beat his ass…”

I’m doing MY part!

Good cover!

“Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays” was funny, but also had some layers to it; a very complicated patient and his therapist, who is writing a book about his care - so not always totally objective, as he has something to gain. And then that therapist also sees a therapist (played by the late, great Ed Asner) who seems to be going senile.

It’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very sweet, with a good cast.

There’s just too much… between work, home life details, and trying to pay attention to the state of the world on 20 different fronts, I just don’t feel like I have the bandwidth to be like “gee, I’m going to pick up a new skill today!” I need that downtime to veg on the couch and look at memes, it’s way less exhausting.

Yeah, same! I thought I had a pretty good guess from the context, but “cold camera shoe” is a new term for me. Glad Lemmy has such a great community though, there are some awesome responses in this thread!

Not sure if this is what you’re describing, but phones like the one you pictured have a reversible tab for use if you mount the phone to a wall - if the tab is sticking up, it keeps the receiver from falling off the cradle.

Here’s a site selling them, but it has a diagram showing where it’s located:

Aww! I love them!

“Redditor? I barely even KNOW her!”

Diabolical!

Oh yeah, you’re right - I don’t remember the video, but that was another one that got airtime.

Damn, that’s rough… I had no idea that the video was such a bane to him… and MTV played it all the time, too!

I don’t remember thinking it was especially weird at the time, MTV played a lot of videos that were goofier than this one; it was just another splash of bright colors and motion to go along with the music, in my experience.

Before that video, The Stroke was probably the only Billy Squier song I knew - but I liked Rock Me Tonite enough to go buy Don’t Say No, and I wore that cassette out driving around with my friends.

So Billy, if you’re out there somewhere, don’t sweat it man; I still thought you were kicking ass, anyway!

Hey some of us peasants are grateful :)
