After being told we would never, as a generation, be able to own a home - We bought a fucking new house.
Its currently still being built.

I was in band, and marching band was mandatory.
I did not try out, as I did not want to participate in that part of the band experience.
So I was part of the “front ensemble” which is shit you can’t march with. Timpani drums, etc.
We had an L frame rack with wheels that had all sorts of crap on it, half of it made in some garage before I joined.
We called it the ghetto rack.
I had a solo on what were essentially tanks that had the bottom cut off and an attachment point welded on top hung by rope.
So yeah, if you can hit it and make a sound, it becomes a percussion instrument.
Wait and Bleed in my ass.
I mean, if I’m dating a girl (I’m married now, and not looking to change that) I’d be curious about her pussy resume.
More so to know if they carry any sort of VD. Mutual STD testing should be more common, in my mind. Doesn’t help for drunk hook-ups, but if you’re looking to get into a real relationship, I feel it should be more normalized.
People don’t get tested enough, I’ve been safe, but I should have been in a mutual testing situation in the past. Nothing happened to my dick, but this girl got around - I found out later. Wouldn’t have minded as much if I knew she had a clean bill of health, but that was never ascertained.
To people worrying, I got a vasectomy at 24. The incision site and the rest of my genitals got infected. They tested for STDs first (I was clean) and it was just was a general wound infection that took antibiotics. But the fear, man, the fear.
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.
If it has horns, that isn’t milk.
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.
God who looks at the mirror and sees that and still thinks “Yeah I can talk to women.”
I’m homely, but god damn.
I mean a grinder of that nature wouldn’t be too useful to me, too much too muchery.
But I keep a set of water stones to sharpen my straight razor - though I haven’t had a job I had to shave for in a while.
My EDC knives see more use from them these days.
North Texas:
Cold Season: A pair of jeans, a metal band thsirt, and a hoody. I’ll probably wear the hoody as “outerwear” all week.
Hot Season: A pair of black cargo shorts, a metal band thshirt, and depending on activity - a hat.
At my current job, replace the metal band tshirt with a polo. Jeans always. And work is fucking cold, so usually a hoody too, even when its 100+ outside during the day (I work nights)
Edit: I will say my, “I’m staying home, not answering the door, and fuck everyone but my wife” outfit is my birthday suit.
I’m not a nudist, but I find comfort at home to be nude. It isn’t sexual, its just… free.
To be fair, the vast majority of Russian troops were also cannon fodder.
I mean, what is stopping parade drills at places like children’s hospitals?
Do it once a month, give those kids some magic back in their life.
Children’s hospitals suck, no matter how hard everyone is trying to be upbeat. You don’t get over conversations that include phrases like non-accidental trauma in a NICU. Someone beat the shit out of a baby already in the NICU. Hell holes.
Take a doughnut hole, slice it in half, and sandwich a dollop of ice cream between the halves.
Just a bite, all I need.
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.
My first thought was, “that looks like a surefire way to injure a human and possibly kill a dog.”
Not to mention, it is entirely possible to get home from work, play, and then realize you are now late for work.
Its just engaging on a level that most modern game’s can’t hope to achieve.
Hell, I’ve installed a game (old), then installed mods, then resolved all the mod issues, then launch it to realize I don’t actually want to play it.
Factorio? Mods are easy, and vanilla is enough to keep someone occupied and happy if they lack internet or something.
Its light weight too, it costs me virtually nothing to install it on anything that can run it.
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.
This does not apply to electronics. You want that 99% to leave as little moisture as possible.
