Things like FOSS stuff makes you think people can organize and work together freely to achieve a common goal, and maybe anarchy could work. But then, you see a busy intersection when the traffic lights go out and you realize the general public are idiots and everything devolves into selfish chaos as you’re stuck a half mile back, as cars shoot through in no particular order and you inch closer to the madness terrified to make your left turn. I have zero trust in society without some form of rule and order.

Thanks! It is a pretty comfy seat. And I suppose if I changed it to white, the handlebar grips won’t match. It’s a slippery slope!

Oh, don’t worry. Gramps was already retired when he got it. I’m in my late 30’s.

I’m so glad I haven’t bought an EA game since Battlefield 1942.

Yeah, the only mouse I have that does this I’d my Logitech T-BB-18 when I take the ball out.

I prefer the trough. As many people can pee as can shove their way in there. If I go in and there’s only on person there, I still like to get right up next to them for the proper experience. I have a hard time urinating at home without having strangers touching me.

With today’s technology, we should be able to remaster Friends entirely with Nicolas Cage.

I still haven’t beaten FO4. I lost interest. But I started 3 over again! And it’s still just as good as ever. And it’s been so long since I’ve played it, I’ve forgotten a lot of it. It’s pretty awesome.

Yeah, that’s not my favorite. I don’t really want to rely on people or be part of a close community like that. And I really like having personal property. I probably contribute the bare minimum to society outside of my taxes. Not part of any organizations, don’t give to charity. Definitely don’t give to the homeless. Don’t volunteer. I just want to work and come home to my house with my family and all my stuff. I’d make a terrible anarchist.

If my 3rd party app is broken to the point theh can’t bring it back, I would like to say I’d drop YouTube like a sack of moldy tangerines. But I really don’t know what I’d do without it. I use it about 8hrs a day.

Nobody going to mention Battlestar Galactica (2004)? Starbuck, Laura Roslin, Athena, Kat… so many good examples of not just strong, but flawed and human women. Well, mostly human.

I know those two are, but I love them. Unironically. I’ve read the Waterworld comics, I bought the Arrow bluray release with the Ulysses cut the day it came out. I’m tempted to get a copy of Waterworld for my Virtual Boy to round out the collection.

Battlefield Earth isn’t on the same level as Waterworld, but I still read the book after watching it and love the movie even more, having the whole story filled in.

Wow, I really liked 3 and resurrection. Guess I didn’t realize they were so disliked. Guessing you’re not a fan of Waterworld or Battlefield Earth either?

I heard that same chemical is in the COVID vaccine. And it just so happens to be in the school lunches? Not in my back yard!

Mine is 5mm. They told me I had a good chance of passing it. So for weeks, they had me on a double dose of Flomax with some big ibuprofen. Nothing. Follow up CT scan said it hardly moved. They’re going in. They went in. He got far enough in to see it, but couldn’t get to it. I guess in younger men, things are pretty narrow in that vicinity. So, they put a stent in to dilate it larger and I have to go back. But now, it really, really hurts to pee and I have crazy bladder urgency. So I’m in the bathroom frequently for like, a tablespoon or so of fluid. Them just going up there with a scope really did a number on me. It sucks so hard. I really, really hope you just pass yours normally. Good luck to you!

Thank you!

Yeah, thanks. Looking forward to not feeling like I’m peeing out razorblades.

I just had kidney stone removal surgery yesterday. The kind with a scope. That’s my life right now, sleeping or awake.

I use a CD player at my desk at work. Am also a dad. I don’t think I’m cool. :'(

It was! I have hundreds of dollars in company apparel that my current company just gave us. Polos, fleeces, a Carhartt coat, a Weatherproof jacket, a 50 qt Coleman cooler. We’d get something every Christmas. So, paying for your own company merch seemed weird to me, but I still wanted some. I’m glad it worked out.
