Beheading kings.

Because here in America, when they take my money, it’s to give away to oil companies and weapons dealers. Not to give us all health care and affordable housing.

I don’t say it because you are, in fact, not welcome. I finish interactions with customers, even when they say thank you to me, by saying “thank you, have a nice day”, as my non fireable version of “I’ll thank you to kindly fuck off now.”

When I was 7, I got brought to the school library and told to pick a book to read over the summer. I picked The Hobbit. I got told no. I Insisted. Read that, then moved on lotr. I then read those I don’t know how many more times over the years. As far as I remember, those are the only books I ever bothered to read more than once. Not counting listening to the audio books at work, as well.

MusicBee, Stardock Fences, obligatory Adobe mention, all VR everything (unless something has changed recently, I haven’t looked in while).

More disturbing, is that I was scrolling past this post, and went back because I thought that was Bill Murray in the image and wanted to know what he did.

One can of no beans Hormel chili, one can of black beans, rinsed and (somewhat) dried. Mix in a big bowl, microwave until hot, add sour cream and shredded cheese, and use it like dip with tortilla chips. If you’re good at rinsing the beans, and your microwave doesn’t suck, you can have this ready in 5 minutes. And the only dirty dishes to deal with are a single large bowl, and a spoon.

Another thing I tend to eat a lot when I get home from work in the morning and don’t want to do anything, is literally just a bunch a wheat thins, a block of pre-sliced sarento cheddar cheese, and a container of sliced pepperoni from the deli. Takes like 2 minutes to grab those while I’m waiting for the bus home from work. Fuck ton of sodium, though. Same with the chili, I guess.

Along with the other suggestions here, Garuda also already does this out-of-the-box.

Better yet, they should come to us with the plan that’s going to make ANY of the Democrats or Republicans work with a 3rd party president to allow them to get anything done. Even if some insane miracle occurred, and a 3rd party candidate got elected president, they would accomplish absolutely nothing, as it is not in the political interest of either Democrats or Republicans to work with them. In spite of what Trump would like people to believe, presidents are not dictators and can’t just do whatever the hell they want. All of the people endlessly screaming about how there are more choices simply refuse to accept this fact.

Rogue planet colliding with Earth.

And yet, I’d have to have at least 3 of my 40-hour/week job just to afford the shittiest apartments that can be found in the shit-hole of a city that I have been trapped in my entire life. Yep, absolutely BOOMING. I’m certainly not forced to share a dump of a 700 square-foot with three other family members, at 40 years old, because studio apartments cost $2k/month and require you to gross at least 4.5x the rent to even be considered. Nope, not at all. Absolutely fucking booming, over here.

Why do all of the comments make it seem like people think that someone asked chatgpt to write a George Carlin routine or whatever? A human person, not a computer, wrote some comedy in (what they felt) was in the style of George Carlin. The technology portion of this was the cloning of Carlin’s voice to “perform” the routine. And you can feel however you want about either part of that. I mean, seems like you’d have to be pretty far up your own ass to think you can just put your own words into the mouth of someone else, especially someone who is no longer in a position to call you a fucking idiot, or not. But the story that people are commenting on, sure seems to be quite different to the actual events that occurred.

As far as the actual story, they know what they did. They know full well that they could have actually did a Carlin impersonation if they had wanted. They could have written their material, went up on stage, said exactly want they were doing, performed their bit, dressed up for the part, hitting as many of the mannerisms as they could. A real, actual, proper attempt at an impersonation. They could have done that, and almost no one would have cared. A few people might have been upset about it, as there always are. But largely, no one would have batted an eye.

But they didn’t do that. They did this. They did this, knowing full well that the claim of it being an “impersonation” was bullshit. And knowing full well what the response would be. And it was exactly the response they wanted. All of the attention and outrage they are getting directed at them right now? That was the point.

The couple of streamers I watch regularly, all post thier streams to YouTube the next day, so I watch there. I do still have a twitch account, so I can use the free sub I get with Amazon prime to sub to one of them. Not much, but better than nothing, as they don’t have a patreon account. A secondary reason for maintaining that twitch account is to reserve my particular username, just in case.

In terms of twitch chat and/or interactivity, I just could not possibly care less. I use FreeTube for all of my YouTube watching, these days, and I keep comments completely turned off. On the rare occasion I do actually watch something live on twitch, I have chat completely hidden.

Facebook marketplace is the only place I’ve been able to actually sell anything for at least a couple of years now. Craigslist used to be the shit, now it’s just shit. OfferUp is absolute trash. Let go was pretty good, but got bought out and shut down by OfferUp a while back. Unfortunately, FB might be the best place, for now. I can’t wait until I can finish selling off all of the stuff I need to get rid of. It’s the only reason I haven’t fully deleted my FB account yet.

I read a ton of Piers Anthony as a kid. In hindsight, ick.

I read a few of those books at some point. Do I dare look up the Wikipedia page?

Back in the day, people(old people lol) were willing to pay you to make a custom screensaver with pictures of their grandkids, their cat, and that one time they did that obviously hilarious thing in that one picture. Whip up a quick screensaver, stop by their house, copy it over and set it as the screensaver in Windows, here’s $20. Well, I used my grandmother’s desktop one time to make a quick one, because she asked me to for one of her family members, and when I popped a disk in to make a copy, she asked me what I was doing. I explained I was copying the file to give it to the person in question, and she proceeded to have a meltdown, throwing a fit about how I was “taking something out of her computer” and how “it wasn’t [my] computer” and I had no right to “sell things out of it.” As you can imagine, I was wasting my time when I tried to explain that copying a file was not removing something from her computer. She spent a good 45 minutes on her tantrum, and never did change her mind. The other person did get thier screensaver, though. So I guess she just continued to believed that I literally ripped a piece of hardware out of her computer and gave it away.
