We had a terrible old LCD projector we hooked the Dreamcast to for Quake III arena. It would overheat so you couldn’t keep the back on. To block the light and cool it down, we’d sit it in the window with a box fan behind it and taped cardboard up around it.

It lit up the entire street in front of my house.

Most of the guys i played with are dead now.

I’ve been playing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 a lot recently and I wish so bad I could go back with the skills I’ve devolved and beat them.

Time flies and nothing is permanent. I really miss those guys bad sometimes. Been hitting me hard recently.

It is crazy how fast time goes by, especially if you deal with some kind of trauma. I swear, my divorce was almost a decade ago and I’ve been with my current wife almost as long. Feels like a year maybe. It just slips through your fingers.

I was around 20 when that pic started circulating. I was definitely addicted to counter-strike at that time.

We talked today but he didn’t bring it up.

Tuesday we’re supposed be repairing plumbing somewhere so I’ll bring it up if he don’t.

I do believe that’s part of it, which kind of bums me out that we didn’t have a primary vs Trump.

Oh well.

You’re goddamn right about that. I have voted for Bernie every time I could.

In the beginning of the last primary when he had that lead for like a week, I was so happy that I cried every time I heard “front runner Bernie Sanders”.

Hey, hey. We can start a club!

Still grandparents in a lot of cases. I’m 40 and my grandfather fought the Japanese in WWII.

Plenty of people left on this planet who had grandparents on every side of that war.

Or maybe your parentheses was meant to cover both.

Yeah it was.

Fuck it. I typed it. Maybe some other idiot will read it wrong.

I’m am so fucking furious that Harris got 6 million less votes than Biden.

Sure, she was a terrible candidate, but how in the world did Trump not motivate people to vote for her?

Those 6 million people had to be afraid of what was coming, right? I thought Trump motivated people to vote for Biden. I sure as shit didn’t vote for him with any enthusiasm. I was personally terrified that he’d have a mental decline and hand everything back to Trump, and, well, that’s exactly what happened.

It all just blows my mind.

Maybe after the world burns down and the people of the future build the next Rome, they’ll use some examples from all of this.

I doubt it though. They’d get it perfect and some cult would spring up and shoot it to shit again. I swear it’s hard not to be a nihilist when humanity just goes in circles. For every 100 decent people there’s one monster who crushes them all because he never thinks about what other people might go through. He only thinks about himself and everyone else pays for it.

I’m also angry as shit that all of the people who stormed the capitol are just off the hook. A few days before they were pardoned my uncle was saying, “He won’t pardon them all. They’ll look at it case by case.” I said, “ok, when he pardons them all I hope that you hear what I’m saying when I say his ego is bigger than his interest in making our country better. I would bet my balls on the fact that it will be a blanket pardon.”

“We’ll, they’ve got this woman who was talking about looking case by case on Fox the other day…”

“They’re lying. He’ll pardon them all.” I said.

He and I will be working together this week. I bet he justifies it. Maybe not, but it’s too late now anyway. The damage is done, is being done, and will not stand a chance of being undone in my lifetime.

Sorry for this. My brain just hurts. I worry for all of these people who will have their lives ripped apart. It just sucks.

Jesus Christ… was urinated on by Mary MAGA-lin. Many such cases have happened. Everyone is saying so. Nobody is more Christ like than me. I’m the most Chris Chan person. That’s what they’re saying, “Nobody is more Chris Chan than Donald Trump, which is who I am. I survived my assassination attempt in one day and I hear he did in three. I don’t which is better, one or three. I guess three, but people are saying one. I said fight, he said forgive them. Fight, forgive. Ehhhhhh. Tomato tomahto. My cousin grew tomato. He knew tomato that’s for sure. He once said to me, “Tomato is powerful.” Very good genes, very smart.

I haven’t seen her since 2006. It’s been a long time.

Ah. See, I grew up when we all rode horses. Before the autocarriage. I didn’t know anyone who wouldn’t know what a Clydesdale was.

Clip clop was the sound of the road, pardner.

Everybody being mean to you, but I ate at the same Chinese joint all my life. Chicken lo mein special was 6 bucks for most of my life.

I ordered the same special a few weeks ago and it was nearly 20 bucks.

After covid the restaurant went downhill as far as cleanliness goes too. For a couple years you’d call in your order and grab your food from a table blocking the door. They only take cash and they trusted the public to pay and then reach into a basket to collect their change. That meant a lot to me so I ate there pretty often.

Once they opened back up though, I went in and the floors didn’t look like they’d been mopped the whole time. I thought, “maybe people were excited to come back and that’s why it’s so dirty.”

Nope. Still hasn’t been mopped.

 

So, my child (nearly 3 years old) is music crazy. As odd as this may be (maybe not), her four favorite things in this world are The Beatles, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson.

It occurred to me that she doesn’t have any experience with religious iconography, but she loves the Heart Shaped Box video.

So I thought, for fun, let’s show her a picture of a cross and ask her what it is.

“NIRVANA! It’s Nirvana!” (Forvana actually).

I’ve been laughing my ass off.

I have raised multiple children from two generations now and none of them have had the burden of religion. Thank…god? :p

 

Everyone has been stopping to admire this. I figured I’d share it with you guys.

 

Look back through my posts to see her sleeping like this since she was a fresh baby.

mmmmmm (lemmy.world)
 
 
 

Thank abowt it!

 

I have found myself using my Steam Deck for everything. I sit at that old desk and play Counter-Strike when I’ve got time. I use it for paperwork as well.

Truly an amazing machine.
