A lot of stores around here covered the .99 up with a store sticker 5 years ago, which I thought was blasphemy.

And there it is.

Half agree with you, the other half still believe in a sane world where laws matter and mean something.

Man.

I’ll never own weapons myself. I have one pistol that probably can’t even fire a shot. It’s old, it’s cheap, it’s half broken.

Even if it could, I don’t believe in violence, and even if I did I’m not built for it.

Still, I have studied some history. I know that it is necessary at times. It won’t ever be me though. I couldn’t ever harm another human being.

If that means I lose, fuck it. Life is short anyway.

Good old two disc VCDs. Man I miss those days.

I was happy to get a DVD burner though. My best friend and I had Netflix and we’d rip everything that came in the mail. A huge book full of movies and tv shows.

Good times.

We had no phone, no cable, no internet. Most creative time in my life.

I became a fan after the folk move, but I was genuinely surprised that he was closer to my age than I had realized. I thought he was in his early 20s.

Goddamn I love Jesse Welles.

Yep, this is what I meant without communicating it as well as you did.

They always have an answer though. Always.

I don’t understand how people can be so arrogant. Religious people come in two flavors though; the leaders who tell everyone what god wants (lol), and the people who follow those leaders but aren’t arrogant enough to think that their feelies must be the will of god.

“‘at queer made me uncomfortable, and my discomfort is god talking to me.”

“Amen brother dipshit!”

I spent 24 years busting my ass so someone could go on RV trips every other week.

I’m out. If I do nothing for the rest of my life I’m good with it.

Oh ok. Makes sense.

These are some of the most bizarre typos I have ever seen. Cool comment though.

I’m thankful that food has never been an issue for me.

If I eat more than twice a day, I’ll be so sick I can’t stand it. If I’m going to a party or family gathering where food will be served, I skip dinner and breakfast leading up to it so that I’ll be able to enjoy it.

Drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes though. Good god. Lifelong struggle. I’ve been sober from everything but alcohol and nicotine for a decade now. It’s time to get the ball rolling.

I have been in positions where the world forced me to stop drinking for short periods of time. I handled it fine, I just need to make the jump.

I would walk 5 miles in the snow for a single cigarette though. I would fight anyone for the chance to smoke if I haven’t had one for a while. You could catch me in a trap like a wild animal if you just stuck some cigarettes on there where the bait would normally go.

It has been the hardest thing I have ever dealt with in my life. I quit for 12 days one time and got fired from job for cussing the boss out. I lose my head so damn bad when I haven’t had nicotine that it is unreal.

Ah, yes. Me too fellow human. Hypothetically, can yours communicate with the mothership? Hypothetically.

I have somehow avoided Amazon all these years. It’s easy for me, nothing I require is connected to Amazon.

I’m sure there are aspects of the business that I can’t avoid that I don’t even know I’m being dragged into, but I don’t spend my money with them.

Anytime I can’t find something somewhere else, I just move on and forget about it.

The only times I’ve ever been bummed about it is when I’m working on some small project and the parts are half the price on Amazon. Most recently, it was parts for an arcade machine.

If I’m being inconvenienced, I don’t even know it.

I walked away originally when they acquired cdnow.com. I last visited the site when it began redirecting to Amazon.

Anecdotal, I know.

Still, I think it’s pretty important that I share it.

I worked at a gas station on Jan 6 in an area that gave Trump very close to 90% of the vote. I seen two reactions from the common people. “I can’t believe they’re doing this and he’s doing nothing to stop it.” And, “Good! I’d rather have a Trump dictatorship than a Biden presidency.”

Even the ones who were shocked and appeared to be facing the last straw were thoroughly brainwashed by the end of the week. “It was ainteefuh, they just want to make Trump look bad!” Even years later, when the so called “antifa” got a blanket pardon Trump, it never dawned on them.

The ones who called for a dictatorship are watching with glee as democracy is dismantled. They believe they are going to get a Christian nation. They believe that all of the things they don’t like will be illegal. They are donating money to the men who are working to make this happen. They are bragging about it openly and getting their friends involved.

I rarely see a Tesla where I’m from.

I went to Charlotte to see Modest Mouse in June and I couldn’t even count the Teslas. It really surprised me.

I swear to god everyone driving them appeared to be Indian. Not that it really matters, I just found it interesting.

You don’t understand actual honest to god hermits then.

My wisdom tooth is going to kill me because I’d rather die than have someone touch me. I’m not kidding.

I went and had a pile of kids so I have to do it everyday. Oh my god I’m tired.

And what was I thinking?

Yeah it’s really interesting just how broad it can all be.

It is definitely a spectrum. My best friend of the last 20 odd years once said to me, “I’m theoretically bisexual, but honest to god bisexual in some ways. Theoretically in the sense that I cannot imagine myself being emotionally intimate with a man, but I wouldn’t shut it down if I ever found myself in a position where it was working for me. Honest to god in the sense that in the exact moment of peak horny, I am attracted to both men and women.”

Every serious relationship he’s ever had, he’s had with a woman.

Yeah I’ll have to hook it up soon. :) I’m just stoked that I found it haha.
