Play video games that use passwords instead of saves. Then, get better at remembering strings of characters. Find enjoyment with the things I have, as it would be a pain to get the same things every loop.

I have a collection of those crappy cards now. I use them in mp3 players and stuff. Who cares if they die. Just mp3s. I’ll just grab another one.

I really don’t think so. Seiko makes quality timepieces. They don’t add useless subdials, like a small second when you already have a sweeping second. Plus, it doesn’t say Seiko on the caseback. There’s no serial number. And, when I look up “Seiko 1880A” all I find is that watch on places like AliExpress. No reputable Seiko dealers. I say fake.

It’s not a power reserve… there is a little second (for some reason) and a 24hr. I hate it.

I ran the calculations back to when I just started out on my own after college. $15 = 10.78. If I took my brand new, big-boy job salary and subtracted my apartment cost (that I lived alone in), that is still $17/hr. Over 50% more than the adjusted proposed income. And I still managed to get 3k into credit card debt at that time. So, it wouldn’t even work for me if I were young and unmarried.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.

No way, absolutely not. Even if I subtract my mortgage payments from my salary, $15/hr still less than a third of my remaining income. Plus, I have a wife and kid. We aren’t all fitting in a townhouse with two roommates.

Also, I don’t think I can go back to apartment living. I don’t like neighbors or people.

You clearly never had the privilege of playing one of these. Man, I still think about it like, 26 years later.

I’m cool with the older stuff. They are dead to me now, but I still use my PS1, PS2, PSP, and Vita. Not going to pretend like those weren’t quality products. Especially the PS2.

Not using that until it gets the Noctua fan mod. Distinctly remember that sound.

Well, now I am going to have to go home and check my copy of Thomas. Because I totally remember that line.

Henry wasn’t sorry, it was on purpose. He was celebrated. I have read the entirety of The Railway Series to my daughter twice (I do substitute in “coal” for the aforementioned slur). There is some crazy shit in there. Engine body horror.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that’s pretty awful to say.

I just watched that. It was interesting. But what i really want to know is… Is his head really huge? Because in several scenes he is wearing a pair of AKG K-701 headphones, and you cant even see the brown strap that supports the headphones on your head. Or did he remove it? Idk, those are kind of pricy headphones to ruin for a shot. Then again, they don’t seem to have a cord either, and that wasn’t detachable.

I still think those are the most beautiful headphones I’ve ever owned. I miss them.

What, and who?

Yet that ending credit song lives rent free in my head nearly every single day.

100%. I have had Crohn’s since I was 15. I had ten inches of my small I testine removed at 16. Managed to hold it in check with double the normal dosage of Humira until I was 36, after years and years of trying different pills. The, the Humira stopped working. Basically, every moment of every day was some level of pain. Ranging from being punched up to being stabbed.

Then, I started Skyrizi. And for the first time in my life since high school, I had no pain at all. It was damn near miraculous. I have severe Crohn’s affecting both large and small intestine. And the last round of scans I had showed no active bowel disease anywhere. It astounded me every single day for a long time. I was suddenly a regular person. Pooping once a day and everything. I really don’t think i could survive going back. Not mentally. Now that I know what being normal is like.

My reaction after looking at it.

I look around me and I see it isn’t so.

If everyone has their needs met, who will they be better than? They need a hierarchy. They’re already poor and powerless, so they have to lord it over the destitute.
