Trying to earn a record for "youngest person to <insert a thing>" is just an IRL speedrun
  • No shit, I was about his age when I started smoking. I grew up deep in hillbilly Appalachian country and all of the kids I grew up with smoked. I only knew two kids in my whole neighborhood who didn’t smoke and one of them started in their 30s for some reason.

    My brother and I robbed a delivery truck when we were 11 and 13 and stole two full boxes of Camel cartons.

  • PlayStation Network is down, knocking PS5 and PS4 gamers offline
  • I lost my account back then when the big hack happened near the end of the PS3 era. I haven’t looked back. I called, I begged, and as far as I could tell everyone else was good to go.

    I only got the PS3 so I could game with my childhood friends. They eventually stopped playing together anyway after a bunch of us died off to the opioid epidemic.

  • Israel launches ground offensive into southern Lebanon
  • I grew up in the evangelical movement. I heard over and over and over again (some variation of this) when I was a kid, “The nation that refuses to aid Israel will fall! All of those who turn their backs on the Jews will burn when god returns.”

    Those people are deadly serious too. It wouldn’t matter what Israel does.

  • Israel launches ground offensive into southern Lebanon
  • That is religion. It is crazy to me that we live in this age with endless knowledge at our fingertips and people still believe all of this nonsense.

    We can look into the belief systems and religions of people from all over the world, and somehow the majority of us can’t look at our own systems and realize that it’s all bullshit.

    You can hear the teachers in rural India say, “The caste system is the will of God! How can you question the will of god?” A couple clicks later and you can hear a child Imam saying, “How can there be any god besides Allah?!” A few more clicks, you can hear a rabbi say, “We are the people chosen by god!” A couple more clicks and you hear the preacher say, “All other gods are false gods. Only our son of god is the one true god!” Hell, you can go down a rabbit hole of all the “gods” currently living with lucky followers of the one true living god right here, right now. Vissarion in Siberia gave those lucky bastards the Last Testament they’ll ever need to read. Imagine being lucky enough to shake your god’s hand and watch him prance around in white and burgundy robes and grow old before your eyes.

    There are so many one true gods out there. You’d think that alone would make people think and question their own one true god. Nope. Not only do the majority of us keep putting our hands together and saying amen, we got folks out here making brand new gods today for future people to fight and die for.

    It’s amazing.

  • Nap game
  • 9 times out of 10 I don’t sleep when I try. If I do sleep it is because I’m exhausted and I wake up feeling worse than when I went to sleep.

    When I was younger though, I could nap half a day if I wanted. Depression! The nap maker!

    Now that I’m not depressed I barely sleep.

  • Anon takes a driving test
  • I have a problem with it a little bit. It aggravates the fuck out of me when I’m dealing with screws, especially if I’m screwing something in upside down or from around the back.

    I literally hate myself. :p

  • Nintendo would "rather go in a different direction" than follow AI trend, says Miyamoto
  • I seen a video yesterday about how people in Japan hire people to quit their jobs. The girl said she spent a lot of time being grilled and felt like she owed the boss an apology.

    Not Nintendo, still, I found it interesting.

  • Missouri to execute Marcellus Williams despite prosecutors’ objections and innocence claims
  • I worked at a gas station for years in a poor town and I bought and sold several used computers that sometimes ended up being stolen. I always did my best to make sure that didn’t happen. I’d check the personal info on the drives before I’d clear them and try to get up with the people who originally owned them. I probably returned at least 15 of them over the years.

    It’s crazy to think that I could have ended up being charged with murder if I had been pulled over with some shit in my car.

    One time I got a sob story, “I lost my job bro. You can get my Xbox 360, my tv, my laptop, and all these games right now for 100 bucks.” I lost that 100 bucks because I contacted the Xbox account and found that the stuff had all been stolen and I returned it. Imagine if someone had killed someone to get that stuff and I got pulled over with it.

    They gave me a cheap guitar for returning it. They didn’t have to do that and I’ve always appreciated it. It’s risky being in a poor town and buying things for resell.

  • You guys are going to love this!

    So, my child (nearly 3 years old) is music crazy. As odd as this may be (maybe not), her four favorite things in this world are The Beatles, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson.

    It occurred to me that she doesn’t have any experience with religious iconography, but she loves the Heart Shaped Box video.

    So I thought, for fun, let’s show her a picture of a cross and ask her what it is.

    “NIRVANA! It’s Nirvana!” (Forvana actually).

    I’ve been laughing my ass off.

    I have raised multiple children from two generations now and none of them have had the burden of religion. Thank…god? :p

    Training my employees on my primary PC, the Steam Deck.

    I have found myself using my Steam Deck for everything. I sit at that old desk and play Counter-Strike when I’ve got time. I use it for paperwork as well.

    Truly an amazing machine.

    John Candy should have called himself John Junkfood. “Get it, because I’m fat and my last name is Candy.”
