I asked the person who broke my school laptop to take this picture of me

Relevant XKCD
and I find it actually worrysome that a maintainer has to spend their evening working on lemmy rather than having fun. (And also kinda worrysome that they're forced to go to a prom)
I didn't even go to my prom. Don't think anybody forces you to go to prom.
Other websites: "You guys always act like you're better than me!"
Lemmy:
Screw these other people saying this is sad. This is awesome! I spent many a Friday night at home programming or gaming and told my friends my parents wouldn't let me go out. You get to go to prom with your friends and geek out, fucking perfect.
I see a successful life in your future!
mfw he's looking at the next bug or pull request straight off his phone lol
truly a richard stallman moment
Socially acceptable thinkpad
You may not like it, but this is what commitment looks like.
That really is depressing.
That young kid should be enjoying this one special night that they'll remember for the rest of their life, not buried in their phone screen working on something.
I hope whatever they were doing didn't take long, and they were able to put the phone away and make some lifelong memories <3
Don't worry, this was the funnest thing to do before enough people showed up
Also, prom is not a freaking sacrament
Prom is really not all that special, it's a formal for high-schoolers. I could barely remember mine by the time I finished college
Prom is definitely something the media pushes to be more important that it is in reality. It's fun, I liked going, but after high school it's pretty meaningless.
You have to remember how many people peaked in highschool, married their highschool girlfriend, never went to college, had kids in their early 20s, etc. Not saying any of those things are bad, but highschool can be pretty definitive for some people.
"The Media" is at fault!
CNN is Big Prom!
“The Media” as in Disney and Warner more than news imho
Should have been obvious considering the number of movies (especially 90s and early 2000s) that revolve around some big activity that must happen before/during/after prom.
Well, some people peak in high-school so it depends.
Kid who's already maintaining production software definitely won't peak in high school.
I wasn't talking about them. I was talking about people who put so much importance in prom.
I will peak in the beatific vision
Might this have something to do with alcohol and other drugs abuse in college? /j
Lifelong memories? Bruh I barely even remember prom. There are so many poignant memories that outshine that and I’m barely 31
🤣
Point is: leave OP alone, they’ll be fine :)
I didn't even get to experience Prom cause it got canceled due to COVID
Meh prom is not that special. If I knew I would have rather spent my time programming or playing
Sharp looking suit op!
High ranking on the cool-things-to-do-while-at-prom list. It's also an example of adulting while among mermaids.
To be fair when I was of prom age, most prom-goers hoped to get simultaneously high and laid. I'm not sure how 21st century proms compare.
This is just sad. And posting a picture of yourself doing it? What a desperate cry for attention.
Thank you for your service
His pants boner goes straight through the table.
Rock on, OP. Hope you had fun.
How did you manage to keep all the guys and girls from trying to fuck you right then and there?
😁
What a freaking CHAD. 😩
