This and the level of free speech that came with it is really needed right now. I don’t mean free speech in a go tell someone you disagree with to fuck their aunt type of way. I mean having real deep hard conversations about organizing and enabling movements. It feels like the Internet is scared of that because of monetization and content policies that have chopped the balls off of any form of organization or resistance. Like there’s so much shit I wish I could say but some mod policy kills it with a pinned post at the top of the comment section before I can even begin typing out my thoughts.

The yellow cat is ready to kill. The tuxedo cat forgot who you are and is trying his hardest to remember.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. We really are at a point where taxation without representation should be examined. There’s always the suggestion of a general strike to force them to function, but I think the easier and more destructive method would be to not pay taxes en masse. It would take organization to get the whole country to do it but there’s already a set date and way to disrupt the system that involves you doing nothing. Simply don’t file. What happens if nobody files their taxes? What happens if the system grinds to a halt because they chose to collect the most money from the lower tax brackets and let the big corpos run free? On the flip side what happens if everybody doesn’t file taxes and the system grinds on anyway? Then what’s the point of taxes? Wouldn’t that really expose the lack of representation?

If she’s not gonna arch her back because I use an I phone, she’s gonna have to use Arch with no DE and some esoteric Wayland WM that’s only configurable by C.

Same but only because I dual boot Windows and was too lazy to setup grub or systemd-boot the day I installed Linux on my new setup.

I was able to pick up Street Fighter and Baldur’s Gate before I left my job. They’be been holding me for months now. Two of the best games to come out this year are real life savers when I’m stressed the fuck out.

The snow biome theme from Terraria is an absolute gem.

This is key. A decade ago I did all three days at the New England Metal and Hardcore festival. Bodies fell from the sky on me. I got punched in the back of the head. I was almost knocked out on multiple occasions. I lost my glasses and was blind for most of the trip. What hurt the most was my feet. The pain was only alleviated when I was running around in the pit and walking back to my motel. I was in my early 20s then. I can’t imagine doing that now.

Did you see it?

I really hope this movie is good. We need original IPs like this to succeed.

Nothing is worse than my 3 piece Popeyes combo with fries and a Dr. Pepper going from $7.49 to $15 over 4 years.

This is the first Diablo game that I’ve uninstalled within a year of getting it. The fact that it’s only been a couple months and it got worse not better makes this worse. It’s a seriously flawed game, and expansions won’t help it.

Oh absolutely. I’d take Biden over the youngest Republican any day. But to act like there’s been no decline at all is just denying the facts of being a human on this planet.

I’ve lost all of my grandparents. Most of them I lost at an age where I could comprehend what was going on. Death is the slowest process on earth. The actual passing is quick. It’s emotional and hard but it lasts for the blink of an eye. The decline can take years. To watch somebody age in those final 5-10 of their life is excruciating. It’s a drip feed of watching somebody act in ways where you can tell they’re just not themselves anymore.

Now with all that said I’m not saying Biden is knocking on deaths door, or that the process even started. What’s clear to everybody though is that he’s not the same guy as when he started his presidency. He’s studders a lot more. He’s lost a lot of hair. And he’s clearly slower than he was just three years ago.

Hes doing the most stressful job in the world. A job that accelerates the aging process. He’s already of an advanced age more so than any president in the history of this country. He’s approaching the line of being too old to non functional. So if you’re against him you’re gonna take that to the extreme and cry he’s dying right at this moment. But to everybody else he’s past the “he’s old” stage to “ehhh he’s really fucking old, should he be doing that stage?” That’s a decline.

My dad changed his shirt because he got wet and I saw him walking outside with another shirt on without knowing about the first one. I thought he was a clone for half a day until he asked me what’s wrong. That was a good laugh for him.

Yeah, it’s amazing how quickly it came and went. By the time I graduated highschool in 10 it was already falling out of fashion. You could still kinda tell who was apart of it though. The clown makeup went away, but the bangs remained for a while.

Scene kids was a period after goths and before hipsters. It peaked before Myspace was taken over by Facebook. So like 2007-2009. By the time most of them moved on to college, hipsters became a thing and a lot of them grew into that or conformed in some way.

Same. Even as a metalhead adjacent to them, they were still a strange breed of kids. They were harmless though. I couldn’t stand the kids that shit on them for entertainment.

It’s kinda weird and heartwarming to be 30 something and see that style making a comeback. I hope they live as weird a life as we did back then.

That’s way too hard for this country.

I eventually got it. A wick and some patience did indeed carry the day.
