“College educated Republicans”

Lmao, yeah, that’s a good one.

Who even gives a shit

Pausing the music to make sure I don’t have schizophrenia.

Well my uncle died, my girlfriend and I got covid, and now one of our cats stopped eating. Oh, also we leave for vacation in 5 days that we’ve had booked for 6 months.

Man, I don’t know shit about modern music evidently.

Dude needs to go play in traffic.

Fuck reddit and all the admins that attempt to run it.

Because I drive the same way every day. I know which ones to avoid and which ones are fine. I also have to pay to do maintenance on my car. If I can move the steering wheel a few inches for certain covers rather than spend a weekend replacing suspension, I’ll do that.

Ah, yeah, that would change things lol

Not some heap of shit i7 or i9.

Thank fuck I got a 7800X3D instead of whatever garbage Intel had at the time.

Finally someone like me. I’m going through these comments reading things about wanting friends in other countries, having an experience, whatever.

And I’m like, I worked so hard to be comfortable at home, why would I spend 4 figures to leave? I absolutely have bought things 5 years ago that I still use and enjoy.

I’m lucky enough to live in a city with tonnnnns of museums, food from all over, and cultural hotspots in different neighborhoods.

Life is so absolutely chaotic these days that I’d rather just relax at home with the things I worked hard to get.

And of course, all that said, I am going on vacation in a week to a place further away than I’ve ever been before, so, ya know. Maybe once every few years is fine, but I’m not going to foam over it the whole time between.

Ah, the Pacer.

I was about to say. I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in a decade between uBlock and Vanced. The updates are immediate.

Only thing is he is very aware of this and has since stopped posting content like that, nearly a decade ago, and has removed any of it from his channel, and never talks about it.

He went overboard, seemingly realized his screw up, and stopped with the gun crap. I wouldn’t be following him if he was still posting the gun stuff, but that was even before I found him in 2017.

Unlike a lot of those kind of gun people, he at least seems self aware. Again, this is only since I’ve started watching his content in 2017. No idea how had it was prior to that.

I thought VR would be more widespread by now.

And it’s probably because of the two next things I thought as well.

I thought it would be cheaper and easier to do by now. More like a Google Glass kind of thing. But we’re still playing 4 figures for dedicated massive headsets to strap to our heads. No wonder it didn’t take off.

And I mean dedicated like the HTC Vive. Not the Quest.

I don’t often notice my typos,

But when do, it’s after a day and a ton of interaction with said comment.

And on that note, the Commodore X16 from The 8 Bit Guy is built from the ashes of what would have been a C64 successor, post 128. Documentation available is extensive. Of course, it doesn’t ship with a spiral bound manual, so I guess it doesn’t even apply, but, ya know. It’s a cool little thing to tinker with.

My girlfriend and I managed to get it to a 3 week rotation. Turns out living in a city is exhausting, so we try to go out as little as possible.

Whereas my mom will go out every day to buy groceries to make dinner that night. That may be the difference between being bored and retired and being, whatever tf I am.

Sure, but if they’re boomers and still couldn’t make it, I’m not sure what the issue was. The generation that took everything and then pulled the ladder up behind them should be stable in the modern day.

I’m really not trying to be an asshole here, but my experience with this is my girlfriend’s dad. A boomer who lives in his car. He lost his six figure job in the late 90s and then did nothing. He made no effort. He was a horrible father. My girlfriend’s mother died and he STILL never picked his life back up. And now he’s just become a nuisance in our lives. I have absolutely no sympathy for people like that.

Whereas my parents, also boomers of the same age, are retired and looking at finding their final home. All you had to do was keep doing what you’re doing.

Whereas us, now, that’s not good enough, anymore.

It is very hard for me for feel sympathy for the generation that got everything, when my friends and I are struggling to exist, and with decent jobs.
