I wanna give a little piece of advice to the kids these days who are just now graduating and heading into adulthood. Keep track of your yearbook, and by extension keep track of where everybody winds up. I graduated in 2018, I'm 24 - my graduating class was real small in comparison to nearby schools. Lets do a tally: >2 people in my class are dead, 1 who graduated a year before me is dead too (two ... » Continue Reading
There was a movie that I read a brief summary of while I debated whether I would watch it or not. No clue what the title is, had that guy who played Hannibal Lector in the series where he was gay - it was about a bunch of teachers who decide to just start teaching rolling deep in the drink to make it manageable. I'm working at a damned mcdonalds again. I'm at the lowest part of the barrel, scraped... » Continue Reading
I have dedicated myself wholeheartedly towards the new, singular, direction. I have to create a bunker. I've done everything imaginable to streamline the design of said bunker for livability, sustainability, and budget - I've gone through iterations unfathomable, from a shipping container encased in concrete in the ground - to the current idea, which is an above ground encasement of a camper, with... » Continue Reading
I recall with a great vitriol a documentary that I sat, half-awake, through roughly a decade ago. It declared rather blatantly that "The 90's were the last great decade". That has always concerned me, how immediately the minds of the older ages would hop to declaring that history ended sometime between Y2k and 9/11. This mentality is prevalent, it eeks it's way into every facet of our lives - and ... » Continue Reading
I've been thinking a great deal for a long time about Assassin's Creed, been thinking about how reliving the memories of your ancestors in-game you have to follow them 1:1 or you risk being desynchronized. I've been thinking about it because someone told me that it's felt, for years, that everything has been "out of whack", that everything has changed in some way that cannot be reconciled with the... » Continue Reading
The Dead Internet Theory is less a Theory and more an observation. Yes, the amount of bots clearly outnumber the amount of real human beings. All that needs to be asked is where the bots are coming from. Simple answer is places like china and india. Third world shitholes where $1 USD goes a lot longer of a way than it does here. You wanna get rid of bots? Ban all IP ranges in those countries and f... » Continue Reading
From time to time I peruse the blog section of this site, after the last few gore account raids I've seen a few notable of examples of people bitching and moaning about "the mods not doing their jobs". I believe this comes from a place of complete and total ignorance as to how moderation on social media sites works. Lemme lay it out for ya. First off, there's a finite number of mods on any site - ... » Continue Reading
Went back to my old stomping grounds today. As I walked by the school, a guy came running up - had a cowboy hat on. It was an old buddy of mine - turns out there was a graduation ceremony going on, and his younger brother was graduating. We caught up, talked a little bit, shared phone numbers - turns out he lives just down the road from me. Six years or so since I've seen him, and here I was think... » Continue Reading
I did a little research a while back and dug up that my Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather was a Private in The Continental Army during The American Revolution. I thought this was cool, so I downloaded a few mods for F:NV, got a Revolutionary War uniform mod, and a Kentucky Long Rifle mod, and played through the whole game as him. I sided with the NCR because they were the closest option to... » Continue Reading
You know, I think a lot about politics for someone who doesn't consider themself political. Not even thinking about "who's right" or "who's wrong", just thinking about why and how politics went from something that people only gave a shit about every four years at max to something everyone is talking about 24/7. It didn't used to be like this, I'm certain of it. There was a time when people didn't ... » Continue Reading
I'm obsessed with Lost Media like you wouldn't fucking believe. Have you ever seen something with your own two eyes that later became lost media? I've got a couple of stories of it myself. One was the old "Ed, Edd, N' Eduardo" shorts that aired on CN way back when. It was exactly what it sounds like, they added Eduardo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends into Ed, Edd, N' Eddy - I don't recall... » Continue Reading
I am of the belief that Nostalgia should at times be defined as a mental illness, the same way it was in "the olden days". With the proliferation of the internet over the last ten years, time has flown by. This isn't because everything's fun, far from it. Time doesn't only fly when you're having a good time, it flies when you're preoccupied with any task. You can sit down in a desk, in a cubicle, ... » Continue Reading
