I don't have instagram, does tthat link have STL files? Or a store link?

i was a MS employee once. Windows hasn't been their focus since Windows XP. Once they discovered the profit margins of Office 98... Windows was just a way to keep you using Office

yeah, once you get past the first side, it's not as good but the Fantasia one, i think is better because they used old music to sync the animation and the score is timed in the same beat... plus every time that the fairies are creating ice or something, it always plays the same part on the album

My friends and I did this an it really is a mind fuck how some of the events line up

I have been a Pink Floyd fan more of my life then not. My buddies and I would eat up every little bit. One thing that is lost in the modern era is that on the Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii VHS tape, there is a bunch of hand held video bits. The guys acting goofy and shit. Some parts are of them recording DSotM. In one bit someone is coming to Roger's hotel room and he shuts the door on them. On the TV in the background, he is watching Wizard of Oz.

Pink Floyd made a few movie scores before the made DSotM.

DSotM is such a huge accomplishment, I don't think Roger wants his greatest accomplishment to be diminished in any ways so they have always denied any influence.

That last bit is just my personal opinion.

I always liked Meddle and the original Fantasia better. If you start them right, the part in One of these Days will be when the two dinosaurs are fighting. And right as the fight hits the peak and the T-Rex finally gets that mortal blow on the Triceratops, the lyrics will be

One of these days I will cut you into little pieces

and when the Triceratops finally closes its eyes to die, the song fades out and ends

That, and a bunch of other really cool shit syncs up

I played a lot of Vampire the Masquerade in the 90s and liked their origin idea about Vampires.

Basically Cain from the bible is the 1st and only truly immortal, having been cursed to walk the earth forever by god

so every person who is made a vampire is one generation away, most players in the game are at the edge. basically 12 generations away from Cain. The 2nd generation are all dead or beyond isolation. The 3rd generation are the powers that be that control the world and are at war with eachother and have the defining characteristics that all the vampires sired under them have the potential to have

but the old vampires will usually go into torpor for hundreds of years and only influence the world through dreams or proxies

Dark Side of the Moon always makes me feel an emotional reaction, especially on vinyl

well I stand corrected. I'm glad there's wild European Bison once again!

the video of British soldiers trying to take the hill while tripping ball on acid is so fun

it's horrible that people had to experience that drug unknowingly

it's such a mind fuck when you know you did it to yourself and there's a little voice in you reminding you it's a drug

jfc that is messed up.... I worked at a state mental hospital and one of the patients had been found with a head in a duffle bag when they caught him...

thats fine, I just blocked your 8 user instance and will never visit your shithole anyways

are you actually banned or just gots a cool emoji in your name?

divide and conquer

in all your different situations

it's a massive mental force when you apply it and make mundane chores a battle worth victory!

As ut goes, even though you're always going to have a war to fight make the little battles more rewarding

i have army surplus store Marine combat boots $20. IDK how much use they had before I got them, but it was a bit.

anyway i have had these boots for 6 years now. i do pretty much all my yard work un them.

I'd never pass inspection with them but I should be able to get another 5 years at least

or churches for donations

my mother in law has given a lot of produce from her garden to the different places that will take it. Hearing her recall the number of years and the amounts donated makes me happy. Just thinking of that is good medicine

A bison in Germany?

possibly a bovine, maybe buffalo but not a bison unless its in the US

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

it was the first book I ever read, and I decided to do it on my own. I was 16 and it was the greatest thing I had done for myself up to that point. It was such a big thing for me. I had never read a book front to back before, let alone deciding to do it on my own.

And so I checked that book out at the library. Went home and started to read the first couple chapters. Got some tomato soup and a grilled cheese and then next thing I know its 2AM and I read that whole book in almost one sitting!!!

The freedom it gave my mind was a gift I can never reply. Douglass Adams is and always will be one of my favorite humans for what he gave me in that story.

When I was young and exposed to these stories, they had a different meaning

but as I have gotten older, wow those books sure do hit a bullseye but not always for what meaning popular culture puts on them

1984 to me is not about the government as much as it is about political ideas and opinions. Big Brother only punished the Winston because he broke the rules while being an insider. If he ran away to the proles, he would have been free but nope, he was theirs and they were going to punish him for his deviancy. They prepared for it even.

An in my opinion, those MAGA dupes are Winston of our age.

Animal Farm is similar but even more on point of our nature allowing these pigs to rule us with "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others"

Its good we call cops PIGS, because they are.

idiot americans worship money and think being royalty means being loaded
