  • I recalled back about a couple years ago about how we were going back to the moon.

    And even then I was like “…Why?” When, we already have had a good idea about it all this time from the Apollo missions and all the stuff we sent up to it over the years.

    It was exciting for us back then to go to the moon because:

    • It had never been done before.

    • It was literally a Space Race.

    So those two alone got everyone invested and excited. Nowadays? What are we gaining from this? I don’t think anything.


  • I can’t say I miss it from having once been the go-to platform. I’ll trade radio over to having listening to whatever is on my media stick, PodBean or Sirius in comparison.

    I’ve only gone to radio when I don’t have either of those things, it’s just white noise. I try listening to sports stuff, I just get annoying hosts with low-IQ callers calling in, I get music stations that repeat shit over and over .etc

    And it’s like, I don’t miss this as much as I thought.








  • Josef Mengele, Himmler and Hitler. Some of the heinous trio of history for doing numerous unspeakable acts of their time.

    Chairman Mao Zedong.

    DuPont de Nemours, Inc. or the DuPont Family rather. These guys are a huge contributing factor as to why humans could unknowingly wind up having cancers and other health-related issues directly affected by chemicals that the company has designed. They’ve had their hands in many things including wars, like napalm during Vietnam. They’ve made forever chemicals and have pumped that shit irresponsibly into hundreds of things we use everyday.


  • 36, having consistent existential crisis issues. Living in the most boring ass capital of possibly the most boring-ass state I’ve ever lived in besides Kentucky. Like, I love the moderate pace, nothing too extreme and nothing too slow. But, it kinda drags for so long that everyday feels like forever, worse when I’m working.

    I kinda am in the “who gives a fuck” part of my life. Where, I’ve let myself go because it’s been 4 years since I’ve been with someone and I’ve been processing the reality that I probably will not get anyone again because I’m too specific and everyone, I don’t know, feels fake and artificial when put side-by-side against what I’d like to see and have in a person.

    So, I’m a tad overweight, not caring what I eat some of the time. I know what I have to do to get the weight down, it’s a matter of caring. Everyday is almost the same old shit for the past 4 years I’ve lived here. And I’ve got zero clue in where I want to take things.

    Whenever people say they’re attracted to someone of the opposite sex, despite claiming they’re primarily attracted to the same sex - it’s bisexual. I’m sorry but that’s just fact. Bisexual is an accurate description, when you’re attracted to the other sex while attracted to the same sex, that is by definition, bisexual and should not be treated as an insult.

    Now what you can say is that you prefer other women, mostly, moreover than guys. But Lesbian? You’ve challenged that yourself.



  • I’ve seen you post many, many things. A lot of it is thought provoking and engaging. That’s the core importance of contributing to any community.

    The problem is the community themselves. Now what has been carried over from Reddit, unfortunately, is this hive-minded process. People only love to read and engage with what aligns with their perspectives. These are the people who feel their opinions are factual and that they are never wrong. They only allow the right way of thinking to be filtered out.

    This brings about a large issue across all walks of the internet. The karma system, only worsens that, because now people can feel validated in everything they say. “Ohhhh the more upvotes I got, the more I’m righteous and that my opinion doesn’t smell like shit!” And they let that get way too into their heads to act the way they do.

    I’ve found that a lot of people with tons of karma points, tend to be the most uptight, self-righteous bastards you can ever come across.

    I don’t fucking care for anything about the karma system, people can take it and choke on it for all I care. What I would want for myself and anyone, is to be able to express, articulate and be able to say my opinions as I see fit. If the idea of someone else’s thoughts offend you, then you’re the problem, whether you like that or not.


  • What people need to get used to, is that you own copies of what you buy. You’re not entitled to own the source codes, unless the developer distributes that freely on their own like ID Software did for Doom (technically the Linux version).

    So, what GOG is probably saying is, you’re entitled to the ownership of the copy by buying the copy. It is not restrained by DRM as it would if a game was on Steam or Epic Library (but there can be workarounds, you look that up yourself). You’re allowed to have the copy work offline, download its separate installer to archive for your personal use.

    Now, what you aren’t allowed still, is to distribute the copy to other people.
