  • A very long time ago, and much less technologically advanced:

    I went to boarding school. We had a little bit of a propensity for sneaking out of the dorm at night.

    New dean comes in our senior year and installs alarms on all the exits.

    Our senior year time capsule contains the controlling keypad to that alarm system that wasn’t even functional for twenty four hours.

    I’ve no doubt that today’s teens possess the ingenuity to bypass if not completely disable this thing.

    I mean to tell you that I’m that regular. Once in the morning and I’m done until tomorrow.

    And yes, I wash my body every single day. Are you telling me the paragon of asshole cleanliness that is Europeans doesn’t?

    God Europeans are so eager so shit on all of us. Is it the orange monkey we elected? Is that what did it?



  • I had an Apple ][+ in 1982 and an Apple ][c in 1984.

    Cost less is a relative term depending on application.

    They were cheaper than full business model IBM computers (who hadn’t much entered into the home computer market) but significantly more expensive than other home offerings such as commodore or (shudder) radio shack.





  • My neighbors consistently party until about five in the morning with outdoor speakers on the weekends. I’m generally up for the day before they’re done with last night, and I get to enjoy free concerts from their sound system.

    You’re God damned right I’ve zero qualms about firing up the lawn mower as soon as the sun breaks the eastern horizon.

    I’m curious. I spent my twenties spreading my wings, partying, and engaging in the carnal activities that follow.

    My parents would absolutely not have tolerated such things.

    It would’ve felt like a continuation of sneaking around behind their backs as a teenager.

    How does that dynamic work in countries that commonly have adult children living at home?

    (My parents were particularly strict and pretty much nothing was acceptable, so that’s probably quite a bit different than most people)


  • Just looked through some of that stuff. Holy hell, it would be easier to be seen as without sin through the eyes of an angry old testament God than it would be to be seen as worthy of dating from that crowd. And that’s fine, because I would want less than zero to do with it.

    (Assuming it’s real. Who knows? Could be a bunch of neckbeards cosplaying, but if I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that there are shitty shitty men in this world, and that there are equally shitty shitty women in this world)
