I remember watching my mom sit and type code for games from magazines. If she made a mistake you’d know it. “MOTHERFUCKER!!!!” rang through the entire place.
Me too, either old enough or poor enough. I had nothing but tapes and records until I seen a kid with a Discman at school and I HAD TO HAVE ONE. My mom got me one for Christmas finally and I had already traded up for every Nirvana CD, just had them there waiting.
I jumped to burning CDs as quickly as I could because I always wanted to be one step ahead with tech.
It’s crazy how far behind I am now. I always buy used phones, haven’t updated anything in my pc since 2014ish, still rocking a 2009 Mac Pro for music production.
They went through hell together remember? “Rushurusharusha” as he so often says. Was surprised that it wasn’t a big story when he went on about Putin going through a lot with him over the investigations into Russian interference. This wasn’t that long ago.
I really don’t think it’s ever been a thing. Free speech that is.
Cause too much trouble and they’ll ask you to kill yourself and if you don’t they’ll go public with some info that they spied on you to get.
It’s hard to say how many people were dragged away for being suspected of communist sympathies.
It’s what we are as a species.
If someone did something big and shitty at any point in our history, thank your lucky stars if you don’t look like him. Imagine trying to catch a plane in 2002 as a Sikh. “Yes, fbi? I think there’s a big scary muslin getting on my plane.”
My 2 year old walked 9 miles uphill in a shitstorm to buy me a pack of Lucky Strikes and a 40 of Hurricane. Little bastard is such a problem solver. He took a garbage can lid and used it to sled the shit back home. He earned his slimjim and chocolate milk that day.
I expect him to be a cage fighter when he grows up but it wouldn’t surprise me if he becomes an assanot. He swears one day he’s gonna send me a selfie where he moons me from the moon.
He’s a single father himself though so he knows what I go through.
When I was in high school I walked into the girls restroom. I was a total idiot. I was like, “oh wow, they took out the urinals and painted the walls. Gee, that was fast.”
As I was pissing it occurred to me, “oh no. What if this is the girl’s room.”
As I walked out a girl was walking in and called me a pervert.
It’s funny, I finally got one of those and used it once.
