I struggled with my back being numb and tingly for 3 years over a pair of shoes wearing like this. Nearly drove me insane and a decade later I still have issues from time to time.

Exxxxactly

Exactly.

Ah, yes. I see. My friend, when you serve the one true religion you feeeeel it deep down, as though god is talking through your feelings.

You can’t just allow people from false religions to galavant around claiming they are part of the one true religion. And, see, since we’re all immortal (at least in the true religion) this world doesn’t matter really, except where religion counts.

Gaaaaaaah. The whole world filled with people with perfectly good noses, and yet they breathe through their mouths.

All I know is that I long for it for some damn reason. As an Appalachian kid with too little to eat, that shit was heaven. I don’t know if it was just because I was hungry, but I was sad to see it go.

This made me think of something else too.

My mom used to stop at a gas station, send me in first with a food stamp dollar to buy a .05 cent piece of gum. My brother would do the same thing, then we’d drive down to the next station and do it again. Finally, at the third station we’d come to the car and give my mom the change. Once we were done, she could afford enough gas to go visit my aunt and my cousins.

Once the EBT card came out that was over for poor folks.

People would stand outside of gas stations and stop people, “hey bro, I’ll buy you two twelve packs of soda for two bucks. You can get a candy bar too.” They usually end up trespassed. The smart ones would sell the cards for half their value (smart? I know) so they didn’t get banned from stores.

Working in a gas station in Appalachia I seen a number of people open their wallets and have several EBT cards.

Well thank you for telling us. I can’t wait for the onion article about how folks can’t wait to talk about it.

I hope it grows to the point that people say, “earn hart dead bait dad. Bad prsn. Not gud.”

Eh, I enjoy it. I’ve never stopped watching it. Even if I don’t particularly like an episode I’m always glad I seen it.

I’ve been looking forward to that shit my whole life. It’s gonna hurt when they do cancel it.

I skipped the new Zelda for this kind of shit.

I have owned every title since the late 80s, purchased limited edition games when possible, limited consoles, etc.

I’m done.

It bums me out. This wasn’t hurting Nintendo. It isn’t like someone will load up Garry’s Mod and decide, “well, gee wiz, I guess I don’t ever have to buy a Nintendo title again!” It wasn’t hurting them at all.

This move right here has cemented it for me. I am done with Nintendo. I have purchased every console they’ve ever made in my lifetime, stating when my parents got me the NES. I won’t be buying any more. I’ll find something else for my children to grow up with and later be nostalgic about.

That’s a damn cockatiel. I don’t care if it is a member of the parrot family. That’s. A. Damn. Cockatiel.

Have a nice day sir!

Oh I love this! Brilliant!

Replying just to distract you further. Hoping we make a thing of it.

What a knob.

I just found the one I have and it has an ARM processor. :(

2020 was hell for me. 6AM-9:30PM 3 or four days a week. 10 hours the other 4-5 days. It was the best year I’ve ever had financially though.

I finally found someone and she just sits and watches tv all day. I couldn’t be happier. She’s always on time, only calls out for real shit, considers work a break from farming.

It’s been wonderful.

I have one. It’s one of the higher end deals from a couple years ago (for a chrome book). I have been excited to work on it every time I’ve seen something like this posted.

I CAN’T FIND IT! Gaaaaah.

I seen the damn thing a thousand times. I wasn’t looking for it. Now? Gone. Nowhere.

Does this shit happen to anyone else?

Boom shakalaka. He shoots he scores.

This is the answer. I worked for a company before the law changed where “managers have to work 60 hours a week”. You know why? Because those last 20 hours made them half of what they would have had to pay someone else. Somehow people fell for it though. “It’s a guaranteed paycheck if I git sick. It’ll work out, won’t it?”

Nope.

It ain’t for you boo boo.

Trump told republicans to vote against a bipartisan border bill so democrats wouldn’t get a victory.

He’s poking the dude.

I could be wrong all the way around. That’s what I’d do though. I’d poke the bastard.

Ultimately, it sucks that it seems like we have to hold democracy together long enough to find someone who has the balls to make serious changes. One of these guys sent his people to the capitol to raise hell in an attempt to keep power and potentially eliminate any chance for positive change in the future. The other did not. They are not the same.

He’s clearly just jerking the guy’s chain after he told his fellow magats to block the last border bill.

You’re out there bud. :p

No, they can. They just enjoy an overall smoother and prettier experience. I was once able to afford such a machine.

Hell, tuning the graphics and all that is an experience. I used to get games I’d never play looking as good as possible just because it was fun to tinker until I got the best performance I could get.

It’s a whole other experience. I’m happy to play whatever, but that was fun too.

I still have my old consoles hooked up to an old crt. I still play my NES and N64 regularly.
