What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments?
  • Born in 1980. Seeing the original Mortal Kombat arcade for the first time at a smoke-filled bowling alley that when I was in 7th grade was pretty awe inspiring.

    Aside from that playing Wolfenstein 3d for the first time was really trippy.

  • Trump refuses to accept he's not running against Biden anymore
  • Something tells me that if Biden, Hillary and Obama were to start stumping for Harris and the media covered it, Trump would have no idea who he was actually facing in the election. There's no way his handlers would be able to keep him focused.

  • If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work?
  • I'm a principal. I get to manage overworked teachers, angry parents and disrespectful kids. It's not all bad though. There are always times when things click for a kid, family or teacher and it's all worth it.

  • me_irl
  • 6 days ago. I was fired from a private school for not demanding $100 from a single mom on food assistance when we're getting over $10,000 to support her child from the government. The higher ups know exactly what I did and are appalled that I got fired but won't intervene because "it's not their role".

    Always hoping they would both be good movies
  • I was on pretty good terms with our manager. We'd write comments in the computer on customer accounts to try to get each other to laugh when we scanned the card. Some of the comments were about the customer, most was just random nonsense. I remember scanning a card and an alert notice popped up with the message "I pooped in the drop box" and I just lost it.

  • Always hoping they would both be good movies
  • Or if you're a generation older, the story goes like this.

    The year is 2000. You work at Blockbuster. A man and his child are picking out 2 movies for the weekend. A drunk old man wearing only a bathrobe approaches the counter and loudly asks where we keep the pornos. The man and his child quickly nope out of there and you're left dealing with the drunk.

  • Biden to detail plans for $42 billion investment in US internet access
  • Moving ISPs into the same category as utilities and regulating them as such makes sense but I don't know if there's the political will right now to nationalize like that. An easier step would probably be an overhaul of the FCC and do something about the incestual relationship between regulators and corporate lobbies (on all fronts, really)

  • What format do people play in Arena?
  • Historic Brawl is my go-to. It's closest to EDH. Being a crazy Johnny player, I'll throw together a standard deck every once in a while if I see something with interest interactions on a CGB or Legend video.
