Uh, let's backup and format...
  • I remember the first time I got to work on a Mac (for fun). I was about 9 years old and I just wanted to learn. I seen an option for a ram disk and made it fail to boot.

    Luckily my aunt had System 7.5 for Dummies. She was so mad at me.

    I had a Quadra not long after that and I loved it.

  • It’s cool that you are you with the info you have in your head. Not everyone is you and no one deserves prison time for protecting their fellow humans.

    I cannot be swayed in that view. I grew up surrounded by idiots and endured daily violence and more than one person I knew growing up is in prison for actual murder and more than one friend is currently in a grave because no one stepped up.

    If you’d like, private message me and I’ll share article after article with you. I’m sure I can find them in archives at least.

  • Two 26-Year-Olds: One Killed a Homeless Man, Another is Suspected of Killing a Healthcare CEO
  • Yeah, I guess. I don’t think we should be parading this guy around as a villain. Even if he held the dude for too long, it’s a scary situation that he was in and who knows what will happen if you let someone go who has been aggressive. He isn’t a police officer, he didn’t have handcuffs and a taser, he was just a dude on a train.

  • Two 26-Year-Olds: One Killed a Homeless Man, Another is Suspected of Killing a Healthcare CEO
  • Well, a judge decided to drop the charges. I don’t know all of the details of the case but I’ll hunt for them later today.

    I do know that if passengers felt threatened and this dude stepped up and helped, it’s unfortunate that it ended badly, but good for him doing something.

    I’m not the type to fight in a crazy situation unless I’m backed into a corner and I would be thankful to any person with the balls to step in.

    I don’t know why we have to go around comparing unrelated situations or looking for anything to justify our feelings.

    It’s like when George Floyd was killed and a bunch of assholes went digging for why that was ok. “He used drugs, he had a counterfeit 20, blah blah blah. What about so and so who got shot, HE WAS WHITE U NO!!!”

    This dude wasn’t a police officer and if he was protecting passengers we should be holding him up as a hero too. We can feel sorry for the dude who died, but we don’t need to vilify anyone except maybe the system that failed to help a man in a mental health crisis. That is, if helping fellow passengers was his motivation and that appears to be the case.

  • also, yall are on bikes
  • I’m still poor. I don’t care though. I’m rich where it counts.

    I have a gorgeous wife that loves me and kids who love me and can’t stand to be away from me.

    I have 50 bucks in my bank account and I’m happier than I’ve ever been.

  • I celebrated when cigarettes were banned in restaurants
  • As a smoker, I have had so many amazing conversations with fellow smokers. Back when they used to have those outdoor boxes outside of hospitals, I’d always meet someone interesting in there when I had a reason to be at a hospital.

    I met an old dude one time that was nearly blown in half in Vietnam. He was so cheerful and joked about it, which blew my mind. We talked for three days. I was there with my ex for her uncle and he was there for his wife. He said, “It hurts getting blowed up, but not as bad as someone randomly puttin’ uh fanger up ya butt when you’re froggin’.” Then he looked around and said, “Lord, I better watch my mouth. My wife’s sister would drop dead if she knew her sister put her fangers in my butt and made her food with those hands. She’s one uh them Bible thumpers that would sleep on a pew if she thought it would make her look pious. She’d never leave the church. She’s on her way to hell like the rest of us but, bless her heart, she don’t even know it.”

    Crude, I know, but he had me dying laughing. Had this real thick accent that made everything sound funny. He was also very insightful and intelligent. When it was just me and him out there he was so crude. The second someone else would show up he’d drop it. It’s crazy how you can make a connection with someone in such a short time and get to know their “at home” self.

    Nowadays the smokers are all hiding behind a bush somewhere far away from each other.

    I’m standing outside freezing right now for a cigarette because I don’t smoke in my home. I did when I was younger and it just ruined everything. It’s nice to repair something and it isn’t sticky inside when I open it up these days.

    I gotta quit this crap. I really do.

  • The things you can buy on amazon
  • Man, I might buy some coyote piss and spray my trash cans to make the raccoons fuck off.

    I don’t want to hurt them, but if that don’t work I’m going airsoft on those assholes. If that don’t work, paintballs.

    I’ve tried everything. I left them some food about 200 yards from my home and they’d eat that and still come and tear my trash cans apart.

    Even if I got the cans with locked lids, it’s an apartment so I’d walk out to find the neighbor’s trash everywhere and they just walk past it like they didn’t see it. I left it once to see how long they’d ignore it. For four days my yard looked like a landfill. No one bothered to touch it,

    It’s easy to see it’s your trash too. I see my one neighbor carrying 12 packs of sprite in every day. Sprite cans litter the yard? Yep. She doesn’t even care.

    Told me once that she would have cleaned it but she didn’t have gloves. I asked her if she had soap and she huffed at me and went inside.

    I’d chop my nuts off to live in a house again.

  • 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.”
