I feel you there. It’s funny, you described me last night exactly and I played about 10 minutes of sonic 2 haha. Everything is plugged into an old Apple color monitor. I love that thing and I’ve had it all my life.

I’m gonna check that out. I had never heard of it.

I went nuts with retro restores and collecting in the 2010s. Now it’s just a bunch of shit in my bedroom that annoys my wife. It’s nice to have it all though. Here recently I’ve been using my Genesis 6 button arcade stick on the Steam deck and playing classic mortal kombat. I hardly ever have to buy hardware because I have everything that was made between 1980 and 2005.

It’s like the kid in me who only got two games per console and had to borrow the rest or rent them just exploded. I have a game shelf that my 12 year old self would sit before and cry. I don’t have time for any of it which would make him cry some more.

Oh, and your rifle gets all slippery!

Heeeeey. There might be a role for me after all.

I want it in Source at 800x600 on my end. CRT please.

I’m sawwry, I don’t speak ‘at squeaky squacky, beep boop shit. Why don’t you try talking like an American?! You’re in American space space!

I was fortunately running top of the line hardware when Vista came out. I didn’t understand all the hate at all… until I sat down and did some work on my uncle’s computer with Vista Basic. Holy shit, even with all of the features that required better hardware removed from the OS, it was the slowest and most miserable experience I ever had on a computer. It was brand new and covered in stickers advertising Vista and it still wasn’t capable of running the damn OS.

That was true with nearly every computer I touched that had it on it.

Mine was awesome though. No complaints.

I haven’t used 11, but it sounds like they’ve done it again.

Every time I see this band mentioned I can’t help but think of the terrible album cover for virgin killers. That shit is like a stain on my brain that I wish I could clean.

Don’t google it. Please trust me on this one. Could get you put on a list.

Oh god, yeah I’d be out. I would not do that.

Watching surveillance is truly like watching paint dry. Realtime? Yeah, just shoot me.

The only time I ever struggled was when cash went missing and I had to watch sale for sale. Even then, I could fast forward.

I always went for voids and “nosales” first. Nine times out of ten that’s where I’d find the theft. More clever thieves made my life hell though.

Man, as someone who worked surveillance for years, I can’t believe that anyone would have a hard time with this.

It was so, so, so, so easy to find when something vanished.

Now, did so and so walk in the building? Yeah, kiss my ass. Not happening.

Finally! Some recognition. I’ve been watching him browse the internet for 7 of the last 8 years! Where were you when he seen that one meme four years ago?

Doesn’t matter. Calm down angryseal. He’s getting recognition and that’s what matters.

All these fools huddling up in their tribes, hoping it will just go away.

I don’t talk to anyone on this planet outside of my house, I need to just delete social media and hope I die before humanity cannibalizes itself.

Yeah, we should just disengage from everyone, isolate them further, and vote like earlier this month.

That’ll solve it.

I can’t wait for all the violence and blood and gore that is coming. I really can’t. (Not accusing you for advocating for it, but goddamn I see it constantly on here).

I really didn’t wanna type some big long thing out. Still this needs to be said.

When I was a kid, I didn’t know anyone who wasn’t a racist. When I was a kid, I didn’t know anyone who wasn’t homophobe. I knew two openly gay people, and they were bullied and shunned by everyone.

Those same people today are treated with respect in the same community that I lived in 30 years ago that treated them with none.

I never heard anything positive about the people who lived on the other side of my segregated neighborhood. The neighborhood was segregated, not because of law at that point in time, but because families continued to pass these homes down. Nobody referred to the identical neighborhood across the tracks by its name. They called it n word camp.

Do you know what changed all of that? The end of isolation.

Take your big, bold stands against fascism. Let it fester all by itself. Talk amongst yourselves in your little echo chambers and watch civilization collapse before your very eyes.

That is the problem. The problem is these fucking algorithms that divide the information that people receive. That is where the isolation starts, and we’re throwing our hands up in the air at half of the fucking people we live among, we give them fuel to be our enemies.

This ancient tribal bullshit has to stop.

Leaving people in their echo chambers Is what is causing these dangerous ideas to gain widespread acceptance.

You’re not going to change the world by ignoring the people you don’t agree with.

You know what? I can’t help but be a nihilist. Everywhere I look our fucking monkeys pounding their chest, gritting their teeth and demanding blood.

The so-called “righteous” demand violence. The so-called “deplorables” demanded violence.

Everyone you talk to demands this segregation.

So what is the game here? What does everybody hope to gain from? Never speaking to their fucking mother again?

Get off my nuts, world. I’m burned out with this shit.

Someone needs to just destroy the Internet.

All he had to do was acknowledge their differences and keep his mouth shut. That’s the rule in my family. Someone brings up politics and we say, “let’s not do that.” and move on. If they insist, they end up on the porch alone, grumbling to themselves.

Or he’s making it up.

I made my mother cry because she voted for Trump and I expressed my disapproval. She called my sister, who also voted for Harris, and my sister made her cry a second time.

We’re all having dinner tomorrow and we won’t bring up politics.

It’s fucking stupid to turn your back on your family over politics.

I think my mom made a stupid decision. Oh well. She thinks I made a stupid decision.

If your politics define you so much that you abandon your people or you’re not disciplined enough to keep your mouth shut at family events where you’ll convince no one, that’s on you.

They bring it up and end up having a bad day, that’s on them. We simply agree to avoid politics and religion. It’s not that hard.

Edit: We’re doomed. We really are.

Mmmm, mold.

I’m right with you on that though. Small basement apartment with a concrete floor that was built in the 1930s. Yep. Mold.

As a person who grew up with a creek full of ducks behind my house, I can say that rapey is just the beginning. I have witnessed multiple drownings by rape followed by hours of necrophilia. I have seen ducks following a vicious gang rape swimming around with bald necks from having all of their feathers ripped out.

They are violent. I have seen males group up and rape and murder fellow males and then attack and rape the corpse for the rest of the day.

When I see a protective mother duck having her babies chased around by kids, I stop them. “You have no idea what that poor girl endured to have that row of ducklings following her around. Leave her alone!”

I shudder at the thought of a more violent animal.

I’ve already messed up at this point haha. I spent my whole life allowing myself to be exploited for a promise that never came. I mean, I guess it still could (not really, but in a sense I guess). I’ve been instructed to go get some cash when so and so dies, and though I’m sure it’s still there, new obstacles have entered the fold.

I don’t know. If I can make enough to live today and buy a few beers I’m good.

I’ve been an idiot all of my life.

I’m going to take your advice though. I promise. Gonna get on that tomorrow. I recently made enough to increase my investing amount by 60%, which would be amazing for someone with actual money haha. I’ll throw that extra 60% into an IRA.

You’re absolutely right. Thank you.

I don’t waste money I don’t have. I don’t follow anyone blindly.

I’m disciplined. If I’m not where I want to be, I wait. I wouldn’t risk everything I have.

I appreciate your concern, but if I lost every penny I have invested right here, right now, it would only hurt my feelings. I’ve already pulled out 10x what I’ve invested and I don’t get sad over big misses. I could have scooped up 200 free dollars this morning, but I didn’t.

It’s small time. I’m poor, I have no debt, and I wouldn’t risk a penny more than I can handle. I never break my own rules, so I’m good.

Seriously. I appreciate you.

No one else noticing the sunglasses on the presidents? lol What about George and Abe’s smiles?
