That one is your mom’s. She too voted her dick off.

My mom and uncle never, ever hear anything he does framed negatively.

They spin it all day, every day.

My uncle has at least been trying to vary where he gets his news, but Facebook makes sure to enrage him with something about condoms for Gaza or some equally stupid shit.

That’s what I need to do. I just gave up recently. I was so happy to be sitting here as a stay at home dad and making money.

I’m glad I mostly cashed out when dipshit Don was elected because I knew he was going to tank us.

Maybe I’m stupid but I can’t find an example of this.

I’ve seen him being critical. I’ve seen him asking the president to have empathy.

I seen one bit back when he was first elected where he said to give him a chance. At that point nobody really knew what he was going to do. We were all hoping he was just being a showman to get elected.

I’m not picking a fight, I’m just genuinely asking for some evidence that he supports Trump because I can’t find it.

It definitely does.

What? In Utero should at least be played a few times a year when shit just isn’t going right.

When it comes to relationships, there is a very thin line that once crossed, nothing is left but animosity.

No learning here, just animosity.

Kind of I guess. At first your comment made me mad, then I spent a minute thinking about it and that’s pretty much where he stood haha.

When I say he was dumb, my good lord I couldn’t come close to giving an example that would do him justice.

He was an abused kid though, and being tough meant a lot to him because that’s how he survived.

A story for fun.

My mom was very religious. Her greatest dream was to have him see the world the way that she did, and she tried, and she tried. She finally got him to go to church with her. He stopped drinking, he stopped using drugs. We were leaving church one night and going to his parents . Some of his old buddies stopped him in the road, they walked up and the one guy said, “hey Henry, what the fuck is going on, buddy?”

He said, “I’m trying to do right and raise my kids right. I would appreciate it if you didn’t cuss in front of my wife and kids.“

Dude, thought he was joking. He said, “oh bullshit, Henry going to fucking church.”

My stepdad said, “I’m going to give you one more chance before I make you regret cussing in front of my wife and kids.”

Dude said, “I don’t fucking believe this, Henry the Christian.”

My dad got out of the car and knocked every one of his front teeth out. People were fucking terrified of him. The lady across the street called the cops. The cop showed up, “Henry, we hear there’s some fighting going on down here.” My dad said, “ain’t nobody fighting here, so you can just go on up the road.”

The cop replied, “well then what happened to him?”

My dad said, “He fell.”

The dude looked at the police officer and said, “he’s right, I fell off the bridge.”

The cops pulled out and left while this dude stood here, holding his teeth and crying like a toddler.

Now in my dad’s mind, (step dad, but raised me), He was teaching us this big lesson in that moment.

Poor guy was so stupid that he didn’t realize that violence was not a lesson you teach children. I was terrified, but my brother thought he was the coolest motherfucker who ever lived in that moment. Needless to say, we took drastically different routes for a very long time in our lives.

Well, I’m 40. At that time we all thought there was something to be ashamed of. As much as it pains me to know I ever felt that way, I lived in constant humiliation like I wasn’t a real man or something.

My step dad (who I love and have a thousand reasons to defend when you look over the course of my life. He seems evil without context) also put me through it. “Daddy’s little girl” “little fag like his father”. Good lord, i type that out and he seems irredeemable, but he did redeem himself, honestly. Somehow he did. It turns out he went through the same thing, was the dumbest man I ever knew, and just wanted me to be as manly as I could be because that’s what it takes to keep from getting your head stomped in the world we come from. Believe it or not, it came from a place of love which somehow makes the trauma worse.

I don’t know. Life is long, and it’s tremendous. I heard that in a song years ago and it stuck out to me. I mean, we know it’s short, but some things make some times so so so long.

Is what it is. I have a drop dead gorgeous 10 out of 10 wife that any straight man would envy me for. I have kids who love me. This world is a beautiful place once you make your way, despite all of the ugly chaos.

My step dad loved me or he wouldn’t have walked to a crappy job every day just to buy my Christmas presents. He was just misguided and abused himself, and he wasn’t smart enough to see that. The way it was, that was just the way it was for him and he wasn’t smart enough to look at it any other way.

I am a straight man. I have lived as a straight man all my life. I have only been with women.

Yet, I was somehow bullied for being gay in high school until I just dropped out. I mean, there was more to it than that, but that was the reason I vomited when I seen the school sign.

Nirvana In Utero is my favorite record of all time.

They aren’t my favorite band, but my god that record hits me right where I need it.

Not trying to throw an unrelated comment, just hoping the commenter gives it a go too.

And just saying, if it’s the 72 pin connector, you don’t need a new one. Just pop yours out and bend the pins back out. It’s very very easy, honest to God there’s no reason to get a new one. I have new ones in my closet, probably 20 of them, but I’ve never really needed to use any of them.

If you don’t want to fool with that PM me your address and I’ll send you one.

Oh man they’re so so so easy to fix.

My childhood NES had a capacitor go out recently and the color was off. It still worked it was just ugly.

I have like 10 of them so I just swapped my case, but for some silly reason it’s like I don’t feel connected to the “spirit” of the machine because of it.

I’m going to have to order new capacitors and you just reminded me.

Get that thing fixed. It’s so so easy.

Can you believe my original ps1 is still rocking hard with zero adjustments?

My ps2 is currently dead, but it was because I used thicker wire than necessary when modding it a thousand years ago and I need to just heat up the solder a bit.

That console is a nightmare to disassemble/reassemble though and it’s been down for around 15 years. I’ll fix it one day.

It blows my mind that gen z is old enough to be stuck in this mess with us.

The only chance I ever had to own a home was taking over the one I grew up in from my parents. I couldn’t raise my kids there though. The neighborhood went from being a nice little mining town to meth as currency town.

Good luck you guys. Maybe y’all can work on the boys following Andrew Tate off of a cliff and get this world going in the right direction.

Shit, in 40 years us millennials will finally be old enough to hold elected office. Hahahahaha

I put mine in a .zip file and renamed the file extension to .dll and stuck it in the system32 folder haha. Hide file extensions when done and make the file hidden. Blammo!

I visited my childhood home which is now falling in. I probably shouldn’t have gone in there but I’m glad I did.

On the side where the roof hasn’t yet collapsed I looked into the downstairs closet by my last bedroom and the only item sitting in there, pinched between the wood of the floor and the wall, was a single floppy from the Windows 3.1 set.

I didn’t sleep for a week because of the state that place is in. :(

Me too. Would have been so rad. I could have used my PlayStation which would always spin so I could boot with GameShark.

With a boombox sitting across from a radio?

I have no idea how I tolerated that with my cheap Koss portable cassette player. I was just happy to have the songs though haha.

Bro, Zip disks were for the porn you downloaded from WinMX.
