Yeah, my first thought was the advertisement probably didn’t include anything that was actually food.

Of course, the definition of food seems to keep changing as the decades pass by.

Donated and became a member for legal protection in a very red state.

I’ve grown differently from Satanism into other areas, but being able to produce a membership card for a legally recognized religion that isn’t Christian has its perks in some work places.

Mainly, the group is LITIGIOUS as fuck. They will go to court for a person’s employee rights. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Yes, one would normally prefer a fixed blade.

However, depending on local laws, that may not be possible to carry.

That reminds me, I’m moving soon, I need to check out some various laws for the new place.

As a born US citizen, yeah, our shit is fucked. Especially if the GOP stays in power. Back to the puritan days of Plymouth.

If my wife didn’t have such a fear of flying, we’d leave the country.

I know this type of information from an IT help desk job. Medical IT. Shit gets weird in hospitals.

Oh fuck me, I’m still studying to red team basic computing.

Biden is so far right of Communism that their ignorance is almost humorous, if it wasn’t dangerous. Not to mention their guy called out to his Russian handlers on national TV for help, but at least Russian’s are mostly white, I guess?

Promising blood, pain, war, and suffering - so swallow their rhetoric or be ready to be enslaved. Freedom of religion? The fuck does that mean?

Insert lionelhutz.jpg The truth? Or “The Truth?”

I take it you’ve never had to log into a printer with an AD account before?

Yeah, I went out to 32 characters once. Until I needed to work on a printer.

Blatant fascism from the GOP nominee? Who would have guessed?

Yes, Trump is a problem. But the problem runs deeper.

If not Trump, another useful idiot.

Front Right: Keys, wireless earbuds, active nicotine packet container.

Front Left: Eckster Wallet, spare nicotine packet container, phone.

Back Right and Left: Utility Spots, used as needed.

Right Pocket Watch Pocket: CRKT CEO knife, if off the clock, THCa pen (legal in my area)

I don’t find myself “engaged,” I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week.

There is a reason I’ve mostly played single player games for the past decade.

I was tired of the “seasons” and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I’d be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it.

For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those.

But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off.

I’ve lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.

Spanish finds it’s way into my everyday speech constantly.

My family is white as fuck, but my mother became fluent in college.

I took Spanish in high school for my foreign language credits.

While I’m not fluent, I’ve worked closely with people who primarily speak Spanish with a little broken English.

The little bit of Spanish I recall, and the little bit of English they know, allowed us to work together.

Is that irritating?

We live in troubled times, the planet is overheating at a rate that it might affect my life more than being more uncomfortable in the summer. And that’s Texas summers at that.

There is an island of plastic refuse in the ocean bigger than some countries.

I saw the home computer come to the living room and the internet be birthed.

If you were to ask if I was jaded as a kid, already? Yeah. Around 7 years old.

It isn’t getting better. Corporations claw for more and more at the expense of the people and the planet.

I hope the younger generations can lead the charge of change, but for me… I don’t have the time or energy to play games most days, let alone change the planet.

And for those who will say, “Aren’t you just part of the problem then?” Sadly yes, I am. I try to make changes when I can, but I fear changing the small environment of my home will not be enough.

I like that you brought this up.

Dogs are omnivores with sensitive stomachs. Kinda like me, and a host of other people on this planet.

Cats are obligate carnivores. They also have sensitive stomachs. This is how I prefer to eat, but I do in fact needs to eat more fruits and veggies.

I had attempted a back flip off a kicker ramp propped up on the curb (into grass, it was to learn how, lol)

Anyway, I go UP, flip and land halfway over with my head contacting the curb.

It gave me a concussion, and took a chunk out of my helmet. I would have been dead most likely if I didn’t wear a helmet.

I just dragged the ramp in, and went to lay down with my skates still on. I don’t remember much after that.

I lived/worked in Yellowstone in Mammoth.

I’ll still talk about running into two black bear cubs with a group of coworkers (friendly after shift hike, well traveled area, etc) and realizing, after the cuteness faded that we didn’t know where mama bear was. Thankfully, she made herself known and we went back the way we came.

Then, a second tale, I was taking a tour bus ride around the park (so I could sell the experience from the hotel front desk) and the BUS was attacked by a grizzly. Fucker kept up with us and damaged a tire. Thankfully, when the tire went the noise scared off the grizzly.

Then there is finding a fresh wolf kill, and realize there were enough remains for it to be a problem for us.

Or the time we hiked to a mountain, climbed it up the side (trails were snowed out) and went down the other side, just to hitch hike back (encouraged in the park both by staff and park rangers) with a Nat Geo photographer. Got to see great raw close up shots of bison and red dogs (baby bison).

Memorable, but the living situation didn’t work for me. I wouldn’t do it again, but I am VERY glad I did it.

To be fair, the vast majority of Russian troops were also cannon fodder.

Until people learn the definition of fascism, which… well, I’m in a southern state. Most dipshits support fascism as long as it oppresses the people they don’t like.

I’m not a dev, but I do some scripting. Mostly in a windows environment professionally, linux for personal reasons.

That being said, AI is great for getting a bulk outline of a script done, and you just gotta tweak a few things.

You still have to know what you’re doing, but it expedites things.
