“Funny haha”. Because of the context I didn’t even think about it.

I haven’t heard “funny haha” in a long time.

Man. If I were gay I’d start a band (or something) called Funny HaHa.

The world is so packed with people I’d say someone has by now.

China can pick it up. :/

I agree completely.

Man I miss the days when my neighbors owned the local businesses. These soulless corporations have totally destroyed the small town “American dream”.

I miss walking into our old hardware store and picking a Super Nintendo game every now and then because my mom talked the owner into stocking them. He had them hanging overhead behind the counter.

He only got the big titles, stuff he knew the kids would want. He’d ask me and my brother when we came in, “What game are they talking about on the playground now, big guy?”

That world is gone. Going to town is pointless unless you have to go to court for something.

I was about to cave use Amazon because how much cheaper things were compared to eBay.

That story about pissing in bottles came out right when I made my account and I’ve never once used it. Don’t even remember the password.

Ur mom maybe…

Or definitely. You’d say definitely I guess.

Abe Normal is just a guy like me. We knew each other in the old country. Shady characters all around. We never got close but I could count on him in a pinch. I never dreamed we’d be partners, solving mysteries together.

Norm Al Goody runs a pharmacy at the edge of town, and I’d bet my life on the fact they he’s supplying the Wretch Heads with their junk.

If I have to beat it out of him, I will. Abe thinks we should handle it by the book, but I’m Detective Diff Fective. I’m not known for playing by the books.

Sorry. :p

I like this. Diffectively works better but someone will chime in saying you made a spelling error even with context.

Or differctively. I’m differctive for sure.

Man. I wake up with a headache nearly every morning. Almost everyone in my family does (mom’s side, don’t know dad’s side) so I haven’t thought about it.

After about 20 minutes it goes away.

Now that I think about it, it’s probably sinus issues. That’s something else common in my family.

Maybe because we all had coal stoves growing up. Who knows? A doctor maybes :p

I miss when algorithms weren’t a part of everything we see.

That’s why I’m here and not there now though. One of the many reasons.

I dated a girl when I was a teenager that probably does this now. Haha

She was a sweet girl, she just wasn’t right. In every photo she posted on her homepage back in the day, she blasted the brightness up until no one had a nose. That was the filter of old.

Of course, maybe she finally feels good about how she looks these days. Being a teenager is hard.

I only do when my daughter is staying somewhere and doesn’t have food to eat. That’s rare, but it has happened a few times.

If you grow up butchering pigs, you don’t tend to be bummed about pigs getting butchered. You know what I’m saying?

My dad took me to cockfights when I was a kid. The first time I seen a rooster fall over dead it broke my heart. The 100th time didn’t move me at all. It was just a normal part of life. I fed them, I cleaned their cages, I picked them up and played with them, and then I watched them either kill or be killed. It was like skipping a rock across a pond by the end of it. Just a normal thing to me.

I’m not defending the guy, but people used to throw humans into arenas and make them fight to the death. It takes a shift in culture to end things like this.

Sure, this guy should be punished, but the goal should ultimately be about making this absurd in circles where it isn’t.

I remember a few times when people were arrested over cockfighting after it was made illegal (long past my time being around it. It was probably 1998 or so the last time I seen a fight. I became a teenager and didn’t want be a part of something so barbaric) and everyone was just appalled that the people were arrested. They just couldn’t comprehend why it was illegal.

I guess him being jailed could help end the bullshit. After a few people went to jail where I’m from, cockfighting just fizzled out around here. Nearly everyone I knew had game chickens in pens behind their house when I was growing up. Now if anyone has chickens it’s just for eggs. No one does it anymore.

I knew chickens are living things too, but it seems so much worse doing it to dogs. Probably because I can relate to dogs as far as the way we handle pain and all that. I’m not a dog person but I live with two dogs and they handle emotions and pain very much like we do.

He did this last time too.

I pulled one out of an old laptop and bought an adapter for that purpose. :p Adapter was like 5 bucks.

You’ve gotta be a troll, right?

If so, good job.

Well that fucking sucks too. You’d think someone would have made Election Day a federal holiday and maybe we’d be alright now. Gah.

Right or not, 6 million democrats/left leaning people stayed at home.

I get that people want to vote for a candidate they actually believe in. I never felt more motivated than when I voted twice for Bernie Sanders in two primaries.

I also felt damn good to vote against Donald Trump. I don’t understand why people just let this happen. I really don’t.

I don’t want to blame voters, but SIX MILLION sat out this election that voted in the last.

I would imagine that it is a bizarre feeling to see people admire so deeply characters that you created, but hate your guts.

I don’t see this with JK Rowling. She pretty much ended the love affair people had with the Potter universe. At least that is true in circles that I hang in. 20 years ago my friends were in love with Harry Potter. They had merchandise everywhere. Now it’s nearly a total boycott.

With Card though, people just can’t let go of those characters. They’re able to separate them so much from him that they can hold onto their love.

Maybe it’s because he doesn’t go out of his way to push his bullshit beliefs down people’s throats whereas Rowling really loves being in the spotlight, pissing people off. Well, that and people just tend to feel a deeper connection to the Ender/Bean characters.

I’ve read all of them but one, and it was the one that came out way later to cover what happens with Ender between Game/Speaker. I bought it, I just never got around to it. Those books gave me a feeling I never got anywhere else. I need to read them again with that newer one in the proper place.

Sorry, you just got me thinking.

We had a terrible old LCD projector we hooked the Dreamcast to for Quake III arena. It would overheat so you couldn’t keep the back on. To block the light and cool it down, we’d sit it in the window with a box fan behind it and taped cardboard up around it.

It lit up the entire street in front of my house.

Most of the guys i played with are dead now.

I’ve been playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 a lot recently and I wish so bad I could go back with the skills I’ve devolved and beat them.

Time flies and nothing is permanent. I really miss those guys bad sometimes. Been hitting me hard recently.

It is crazy how fast time goes by, especially if you deal with some kind of trauma. I swear, my divorce was almost a decade ago and I’ve been with my current wife almost as long. Feels like a year maybe. It just slips through your fingers.

I was around 20 when that pic started circulating. I was definitely addicted to counter-strike at that time.
