And it looks even worse from ground level. Looks like the Exxon station is gone. How the fuck does a gas station close in the US?

When you operate on the assumption that "socialism is when the government does stuff", it snowballs from there.

I have a family member who legit believes agencies like NSA and CIA are communist.

If they ever get to Superbowl 509, the Roman numerals for it would be DIX.

Euphemy, in contrast, "good speech", includes ways religious people modified these invocations against God to avoid blasphemy. Damn > darn ; God > gosh; sacré dieu (fr) > sacré bleu.

I learned not long ago that phrases like "Jeepers Creepers!" or "Jiminy Crickets!" were euphemisms for "Jesus Christ!"

I don't know why it took me so many years to realize that.

The radio edit of Everlast's "What It's Like" is butchered to hell. "He pulled out his xxx xxx talked some xxx and wound up xxx."

A local radio show I used to listen to at work about 10 years would say "god damn" all the time. Back then I thought it was a sign of progress because nobody seemed to care, when maybe in the late 90s/early 00s, people would have thrown a fit hearing that.

I listened to the same show a few weeks ago, and now they censor "god damn" among other cuss words they used to allow.

Most of them are usually some bootable Linux distro/emulator/frontend suite, such as Batocera or Lakka. Unfortunately I can't speak for which ones are good or shit. There's also the possibility of the cheaper ones having some kind of malware payload on them; definitely don't plug one in to a desktop/notebook that you care about.

If you're tech savvy and already have the game ROMs, you could actually build a Batocera USB stick yourself and load the ROMs to it. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube etc.

And one of those meals cost just a nickel. In those days, nickels had pictures of bumble bees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter!", you'd say.

I have a PC running OpenMediaVault (NAS) with about 8 terabytes of movies and TV shows, and a separate PC running Jellyfin and Plex accessing the video files through a samba share.

I'm sure r/selfhosted would give me all sorts of shit for not running those services in VMs on a single machine. Maybe when I can find a more powerful computer to do that on...

Steven Ogg is sick of GTA and hates Trevor fans.

I'm old enough to remember when quiche was considered "unmanly". Like it's literally eggs and sometimes breakfast meat in a pie crust lmao.
