1994 - 1996 and beyond. Originally played on Win98, currently on Win10. Trying out several different CDROMS, but I've been testing out an old "Learning in Toyland" CD, but I also have an old "Yukon Trail" CD I'm trying to boot up.

I've tried DOSBOX, but I keep getting messages like "requires Windows" or whatnot. Like HOE, I HAVE WINDOWS AND IT DON'T EVEN WORK

We love us some garters! Kid loves snakes and is studying before he gets one for himself one day. Thank you!

I put that in the post body. The kid got a lecture about handling strange wildlife.

We have one venomous snake in Michigan, I believe.

Imagine a business essentially telling a group of people that they don't even consider them human.

I'm sure that if they get backlash they will cry about persecution and "cancel culture". Real damn sick of it.

I mean, one of my first posts here was arguing with a user who said that "using the word 'minorities' is offensive since it doesn't include everybody" and kept arguing points like that.

Then they huffed and lamented that "clearly [they were] not welcome here."

I half-expected a "so much for the tolerant left!" before they self-exiled.

Poor little guy! This place is obviously far too rough of a neighborhood for them to be comfortable!

Thank you.

It's very tiring being told that I shouldn't dislike dogs. Apparently it's a big taboo and folks take it very personally.

Appreciate your respect towards people who have a differing opinion on dogs.

I see the good side for others. If you like dogs and the positives you feel they bring to your life, enjoy your dog!

But for me, I just don't like dogs.

Why is it so taboo to not like dogs? I don't hate them, I just don't like them.

Nothing personal! Just would rather not be forced to deal with them and everything that comes with them.

Dogs deserve to exist and can be very helpful in the right settings, but I still do not like them.

Hard disagree. A lot of this behavior is justified to me as "they're just being a dog!"

Dogs bark. Dogs chew. Dogs have a prey drive. Dogs smell. Dogs just want to be with you. This how dogs are.

It's both. I don't like dog behavior, so I just don't like dogs! I have big qualms with a lot of the owners of dogs, sure, but I've never met a dog I actively liked.

I just don't like dogs.

Understandable, but still sad.

Not only that, but tons of advancements in female healthcare in the US was made because doctors often experimented on black female slaves with the permission of their owners. Obviously, these women did not consent, and you can surmise how horrifying this is.

You can enjoy the benefits of more advanced healthcare for women in many areas now because of the results of these without being complicit in these histories or endorsing the way they came about.

The knowledge and tools we now have can be used to make things better and use them to further good causes, despite their orgins. That does not put blood on your hands.
