A PC that exclusively runs the OG Battlefield 1942 and Desert Combat mod. A flight simulator, like the really nice ones. Two seater Initial D arcade. A hammock. Mini fridge just for Sunny D and the purple stuff. A pair of Bose 501’s. NBA Jam, Super Street Fighter, and Tempest arcade cabinets with an epoxy starfield floor where I can work on my bikes inside… and everything would glow under black lights. Last but not least, a super nice couch where I will neglect everything above and just dick around on my Steam Deck.

I miss The Wonderful World of Disney anthology series that played on a Sunday evening. I want to see one with Wojtek, Sgt. Reckless, and Cher Ami. That would make me so happy.

With the names that have already been released, the ringleader dead under mysterious circumstances, and lack of whistleblower protections… I’m assuming no one is stupid enough to leak/hack the files when there are legal paths to release the information (ie FOIA). Groups you cited like Anonymous act when no one else can or will.

I had an ex that asked me to show her how to cook and then proceeded to have a complete mental breakdown while screaming about how judgy I was being.

Turns out she lived off of turkey on flatbread, plain, every.single.night. We didn’t make it more than a month. My (now) wife went from only being able to bake, to a full on Sous Chef. Most nights I don’t have to say a word, we’re just on a mission to get dinner for 5 ready.

One of my first jobs was in a call center with a scripted greeting using an assertive voice because the customers always tried to dunk on us. My friends and family would laugh so hard when I answered my personal phone with the script/voice.

I am so conflicted on Ramsey. I want to hate him so much but I’m now debt free, have a great credit score, and lived a normal life while fixing it thanks to that smug asshoke.

The envelope on my fridge also saved my marriage. My wife would worry about me buying a used dvd, the nice cheese, or anything I wanted over $10 really (we were really poor). Arguments and resentment ensued. Given my budget, Dave said to pay yourself out of your own paycheck, $10-20 every two weeks and I could only spend that for fun shit. It had to be in cash and if possible, the envelope had to be somewhere where I could see it (magnet to the fridge). For some reason, that changed my wife’s whole point of view and she was excited for me to spend my “fun-velope”. Good stuff.

I don’t know the other dude.

No need to apologize at all! I like to use my story to help others realize they can flee a toxic relationship anytime they want and shouldn’t feel beholden to anyone including those who “brought you into this world”. God I hate that line so much, especially when it’s followed by “…and I can take you out of it too.”

I hope you find what you’re looking for. Best of luck, friend.

My father is a bi-polar narcissist and my mother is a bizarre kind of broken because of it. I fled home at 16 yo and looked back a few times, though I wish I didn’t. The few time I had a chance to ask questions about their past, the stories always changed.

It all broke down during the pandemic when they went full blown rightwing conspiracy theorists and science deniers trying to guilt me into letting them near my (then) newborn. At one point one of their “FBI friends” told them COVID was a hoax. We don’t have FBI friends.

With all that said… fuck em. My curiosity of the past doesn’t exceed how much it distresses me to be around them. My chosen family and I are looking towards the future.

In your case I would just stick to the facts and get medical history. That’s the one thing I wish I got before calling it quits.

Back when the history channel had history documentaries. There was a week long block of WWII shows when I was 12(ish), like shark week but Hitler.

I had no intentions of quitting but I have a high stress job, was going through a nasty divorce, and was having unhealthy thoughts, so I went to therapy and started anti-depressants. The quitting smoking part was literally a side effect I wasn’t aware of at the time, and I just realized one day I hadn’t had a smoke in like 3 days. It surprised the hell out of me.

…and yes, smokers STINK. If anything, get your sense of taste and smell back. It’s awesome. After smoking for 20 years, I had no idea how stinky I was all the time.

Me quitting smoking was a side effect of an anti-depressant I was on called Wellbutrin. One day I just didn’t smoke and that was 580 days ago. I stopped Wellbutrin a year ago and just never had the urge to go back to either.

My great grand kids will know exactly how lame I was.

At my fist big boy job my dad sent me one that locked out my keyboard and mouse then cranked the volume to 100% as it yelled “hey everyone, I’m watching porno over here” followed by a super loud moan. It was a quiet call center too. That moment still haunts my dreams.

In the 90’s, companies were super lax on data security, retention, and destruction. In my city we had major IT players like INTEL, HP, Motorola, etc. We would dumpster dive and find whole computers full of data and no passwords. We were after the hardware so all our friends could play Doom MP, Quake, or later Unreal Tournament… so we usually wiped them but who knows what was in those things. It was a lot of e-waste and because of divers with bad intentions, now there’s incredibly strict corporate rules about data security/destruction.

(Soft pay-wall). I’m confused. The US will allow immigrants into the country that post disagreeable online posts, but jail US citizens that do the same? Then when those immigrants move to the us they what? Start posting about how awful immigrants are?

Do you think immigration will allow brown, yellow, and black Europeans? Or only those of the Caucasian persuasion?

It’s not going so great for the Haitians that are already here.

16 year Reddit account, so much content given to them over the years, perma banned for hate speak a few days ago. Apparently saying people should support all innocent civilians (especially the children via PCRF) and make food and support flow… is hate speak. Fucking bootlicking cowards. I’m glad I got banned, fuck new Reddit.
