Just brought out my old dvds and put them on hard drive. They were burned 18 years ago and used organic dyes. I recovered avout 50% of them. Old me should have spent more on nonorganic discs… but old me couldn’t afford them back then, so he gets a pass I guess. Plus new me can easily dl most of those discs in an hour or two now.

Now I am left wondering if blacking out and lacking blood flow to the organs would be worse or better than suffocation. Yay, morbid thought exercise…

I’m convinced this is why the try so hard to confuse people between socialism and communism. In their book, Jesus is teaching socialism. But socialism bad, it leads to the Red Terror… but empathy is evil, fear thy neighbor, reject the foreigner… break your back and get yours, as long as the landowner gets his 99% cut.

And when AI inevitably collapses, programmers should join unions and negotiate for a much higher wage, as they will be in even more need to fix all the shit that gets broken. Everyone knows it’s easier to replace or rebuild, but companies can’t do that, they’ll need their code, their databases, accounts, everything - fixed. That will cost them more than they ever thought they’d save. AI will one day do the things they want, but we’re looking at decades until it can reach that point.

Yeah, the good ones get bought out. (RIP Armstrong, Adelphia)

Sony pissed me off a few years back. Day one: wanna share data with us? No. Year later: data? No. Year 3. Your tv will no longer accept internet connections unless you agree to share your data. Ok, fuck. Year 4. 30% apps no longer work due to system requirements. You - bastards. I just used a firestick in it until it died on year 6. Which also sucks since it was $3000 in 2017.

In the US? 4+ years of golfing, racketeering, and fraud.

And all of that was at the cost of Nintendo, didn’t you know? They single handedly took on that cost so Americans wouldn’t have to spend a cent more. They didn’t even increase their products by more than 35% in relation to an increase of 10%.

I’m imagining he is from the far past and is just now seeing the demon box in everyone’s hands. It is an artifact of evil. Like the weapons brought to Israel by Raytheon. Raytheon, where our motto is “Nowhere to run (cause you’re trapped), nowhere to hide (everything is flattened), pay us all you can and we’ll bring you genocide”

After Equifax and DOGE, I’m not sure I can bring myself to care anymore. Cat’s out of the bag, and no one will be punished. I get shit on, again and again, and my “representatives” rake in that sweet “lobby” money to ignore the issue. I just wish the bad actors would share the lawmakers information very publicly so they might finally start caring.

No. Just no. Other countries cn rise above misogyny, but not us. Dems need to drop this whole “please the right” schtick too. We need someone actually progressive, someone who doesn’t ride the Israeli money train, and alas - is male. Bonus points for not playing the “we need to forgive and forget” card either. It didn’t work, and a lot of these assholes are just regurgitating the South. They lost, but never faced punishment. If we let racism slide, we let them build confidence and organize.

If you enjoy mind bending, absolutely weird drug induced shows - yes. If you like depressing stories - yes. Otherwise - pass.

I will not bite… I will not bite… omg I want to so bad… nope nope nope

Loki reminded me of Legion. Only funnier, not as confusing and weird, and less depressing.

B5 was a huge risk for TNT. A contract for an entire 5 seasons and a writer with an overall plan for those seasons.

I liked Mutant X back in the day. Looking back on it though it was cheesy as hell.

First season is good. 2nd season was considerably a letdown (I stopped after 5 episodes)

I mean… .22s have a history for use as a “quiet” gun…

I had considered upgrading this year. I just bought two battery cases for my s20fe cause I figure I’ll have it for awhile longer now and my battery case is getting hard to find now and the current one is more than a year old.

I appreciate the response. Ty.
