Anon takes a driving test
  • I have a problem with it a little bit. It aggravates the fuck out of me when I’m dealing with screws, especially if I’m screwing something in upside down or from around the back.

    I literally hate myself. :p

  • Nintendo would "rather go in a different direction" than follow AI trend, says Miyamoto
  • I seen a video yesterday about how people in Japan hire people to quit their jobs. The girl said she spent a lot of time being grilled and felt like she owed the boss an apology.

    Not Nintendo, still, I found it interesting.

  • Missouri to execute Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors’ objections and innocence claims
  • I worked at a gas station for years in a poor town and I bought and sold several used computers that sometimes ended up being stolen. I always did my best to make sure that didn’t happen. I’d check the personal info on the drives before I’d clear them and try to get up with the people who originally owned them. I probably returned at least 15 of them over the years.

    It’s crazy to think that I could have ended up being charged with murder if I had been pulled over with some shit in my car.

    One time I got a sob story, “I lost my job bro. You can get my Xbox 360, my tv, my laptop, and all these games right now for 100 bucks.” I lost that 100 bucks because I contacted the Xbox account and found that the stuff had all been stolen and I returned it. Imagine if someone had killed someone to get that stuff and I got pulled over with it.

    They gave me a cheap guitar for returning it. They didn’t have to do that and I’ve always appreciated it. It’s risky being in a poor town and buying things for resell.

  • Ron DeSantis bans Florida's sex ed classes from mentioning anatomy & contraceptives
  • It isn’t. Florida needs pregnant teenagers who can’t get abortions so that they can use their children to sit on the coastline and pedal the land up out of the water. This is also where they will get their electricity. It also needs a constant supply of these children because they’ll have to replace them after every hurricane.

    Everything I just typed is probably more likely to work than abstinence based sex ed is to prevent pregnancy and is just as scientifically valid as a sex ed class with no sex and no ed.

  • Biggie biggie can't you see you can't take your eye off diddy
  • As a cockeyed person, it doesn’t bother me. People rarely say anything. Sometimes you can catch people being confused about which eye to look into but it’s brief.

    I did have a kid say to me one time, “Wow, your eyes are like, seriously crossed!” I acted surprised and said, “Seriously? Oh my god! Do you think other people notice?” She felt bad about it and said, “No! No! It’s just where I was standing. I doubt anyone ever seen it.” :p

    My eyes are nowhere near as bad as biggie’s though because my sweet mother got me surgery when I was 5 years old. I still thank her for it regularly.

  • You should really just relax.
  • I’m not here for it haha.

    “Ok, so he seen the girl making out with the inbred dude who screwed his cousin and then he immediately went home and “talked to the dead” through poker cards to see if there was any chance she’d still marry him some day? Bahahahahaa. He’s only 12? Oh my god, where else can this go?”

  • Anon believes in Gaben
  • Your comment made me go and buy it for my Steam deck. Even knowing what is coming I’m having a blast 11 years later. I have already bawled my eyes out and I’ve forgotten enough that I can’t wait to get into it fully again.

    Thank you.

    Please play it. Seriously. Do it for me and come back to me. If I wasn’t so damn poor I’d buy it for you. If nothing else watch the opening part on YouTube and see if it doesn’t hook you.

  • efficient game design rule
  • It happened to my cousin awhile back with Photoshop. She’s a professional photographer and it shut her down for a few days. I found it pretty quickly and an update stopped it from happening. It wasn’t removing temporary files and totally filled her drive up.

    Poor thing was ready to buy a new hard drive.

  • Scientific American makes presidential endorsement for second time in 179 years
  • This is exactly what I’ve seen in Appalachian coal country. I once sat with a man who cried his eyes out because of the decision to call Florida for Bush. That same man died a Republican.

    In my own family, when I was a kid they were all democrats. Now they’re all republicans. Of course that also has to do with their religious views and the bigotry that comes with that.

    What you’re saying here is a big part of it though. “They called us hillbillies and inbred hicks all our lives, and now we can’t say anyone is a fairy? I learned to laugh at myself and now I have to hold my tongue for other people?!”

    I didn’t just make that up. I’ve heard several variations of that since the 2010s when the big switch kicked into overdrive.

    I’ll also say that racism had a big part in the shift. A man with the middle name Hussein was elected 7 years after 9/11 and that man was black. It caused a lot of white brains to short out.

  • You guys are going to love this!

    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

    A drawing my daughter did with sidewalk chalk.

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

    The cat still sleeps on her dog mom. Been doing this since day one.

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

    Training my employees on my primary PC, the Steam Deck.

    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.
