Friend, you haven't lived until you've had a fresh hot donut.

Agreed. I've had my copies of both on CD since I was a teenager.

Cat owner. Can confirm.

Rent? What is this? 1998? I'll just buy it on videocassette instead.

Tfw you see Blendo annihilate literally every other battle bot.

Wh-what?

I used to have a 27" set. Probably weighed about 150 lbs. It had bowed the platform on the entertainment center. I wish I hadn't got rid of it. Those things fetch a pretty penny these days. Old games just look fantastic on a CRT.

This is what I get for disappearing for an hour to talk to my mom and my brother on the phone lmao

Literally every comment that account has ever made has been removed. Wild.

Actually, it must have been a bot. That account is only an hour old and has at least several dozen (if not hundreds of) removed comments.

Molecules are great for when I'm snackish and want to eat 6.02 x 10²³ of something.

I, too, enjoy CLI-Tetris.

You know who doesn't make enough money? The people who control more housing than they can live in, and who, instead of selling that extra housing, exploit the basic human need for shelter, and we as a society just seriously undervalue how important this role is.

Edit: Storytime, kids. I'll spoiler it so it doesn't take up a ton of room.

::: spoiler Fuck landlords In 2017, my wife and I rented a house from a nice lady. She was pretty cool. Her husband was on deployment or something. Anyway, we signed a second year with her because we liked her and the location. She sold the house to her mother-in-law about 4 months into that second lease. And that's where it went downhill.

The first summer, the 20+ year old air conditioner went out. The first landlord immediately had someone at the house to check it out. The next summer, when it happened again, the temperature soared to 110°F for the following four days...and at no point after being notified did the second landlord have a repairman out. And we texted her each morning asking for an update. We drove 3 hours to my parents' house to use their pool. We bought a window AC for the bedroom so we could sleep. It was a nightmare. It turned out to be a fix that took an hour and cost her $125. She made up some bullshit excuse but I know she didn't want to pay the weekend rate for the repairman and that's why she was willing to let us suffer, despite the fact we were paying $1,100 a month to live there. When she came over with the repairman, it was 93° in the house and the bitch had the audacity to say, "Wow, it's hot in here." YA FUCKING THINK?

That August, we got a ton of rain. It made a ton of bugs come out. Some of which dropped in on us and killed the yard. She was FURIOUS about this. Then bitched at us about not trimming the trees either (we weren't obliged in the lease agreement to trim trees). She had a lawn care expert come by and tried to get him to lay into us. His response was actually, "We've had a lot of rain. They had no way to see this coming. Lots of people in town have been dealing with this." It shut her up. The next spring, I overseeded the shit out of the yard and it bounced right back.

So we informed her three months early we would not be staying for a third year. We bought a condo that summer. Then we sold it in 2022 and bought a house. And stg she is two houses down from us. It took us four months of putting in offers to get one accepted and now we have to live next to the bitch. I'm sure she doesn't recognize us, but hey, axes and trees and remembering and all that. Anyway, she's like 75 so I'm sure in the next 10 years she'll croak and then we'll have yet another rent house in the neighborhood because greedy heirs don't want to sell.

I said/did/wrote (in my personal journal) so much cringe shit as a teen. I am GLAD it's not out there on permanent record. I got my Facebook account when I was like 17. Well after all the other kids my age did (I'm 31 now). I stopped using it by 23. I usually just made witty quips about life in general on Facebook, never aired my dirty laundry or spilled my guts or called a girl a bitch for not wanting to go out with me. I did go through a tough breakup during this time in my life, but the most I ever did was quote Cee-Lo's "Fuck You."

Facebook being problematic for kids is nothing new, but now many adults are intimately aware of how bad it is because we were those kids.

I really feel for kids these days.

They're hard to kill.

I already replaced the battery. I thought it was the battery because that battery was last swapped in 2016. It got me home after getting it running. I just drove straight 2½ hours. But 20 minutes after getting it back, it wouldn't start again without a jump. So I lean toward the starter being the issue. Which will involve getting under the car and removing an exhaust piece, which I'm not looking forward to. But I want to stick a multimeter on my alternator and be sure it's sending good voltage before I decide which way to fire the parts cannon again.

I daily a quarter million mile 1997 Prelude. I'd drive my 2012 Civic more but it's either got a bad starter or a bad alternator right now. I can get it to run with a jump, but I got stuck two and a half hours away from home when I found out it was having issues. Fun times.

My SIL has a '96. It runs, but I never see them drive it so I have no idea why they have it lol

When I was a little boy growing up in the late '90s, we had an '84 Celica GT 5-speed. Silver, hatchback, pop up headlights. Looked a lot like this

It was the last year the Celica was RWD. I loved that car. I thought it was the coolest car ever. I was heartbroken when it got parked. I'd been told it had 386,000 miles. I'd love to have one of my own, but I already have a 5th gen Prelude, and we have room (space- and money-wise) for only one old project car so I don't think it'll be happening lol

What about "Mapusy" and "Macrak?"

There are insects who enter their adult stage with no mouth. They are here to fuck then starve.

For any who don't know, these folks got raided by Swedish authorities, who left empty-handed.

It is, but you don't need the physical card for very much. I've only ever needed the card for jobs. I've never had to apply for welfare, but I do belive you need a physical card to apply. But in most situations, you just need the number.
