First ex-president to be criminally convicted.

First elected president to be criminally convicted and serving.

Man, he is winning. /s

Some people are just better at wearing a mask than most.

Okay so you're comparing one shitty platform with a shittier platform, who both believe that they're informing people with shitty uninformed hot takes on said social movements and crimes.

I hope that's sarcasm.

Like, will there be a point in time where you think that with all of the games of yesteryear to play that are thousands and thousands, with thousands more forward ahead to be released. There's only so much time available to be playing so much in a lifetime.

So that begs the question, do you just decide on which generation of gaming you're comfortable reaching before saying "Yup, I'm good!"?

I think for me, my cut off has been the PS4/X-Box series X generation. The PS5 is now officially like 5 years old now as of this year which is mind boggling to think about considering people had a very hard time affording the damn thing as well as other consoles because of a certain pandemic and scalpers.

And I've not once thought about organizing my resources in any attempt to try and get one or multiple games for it or the console. I've committed to PC gaming full-time now. I am completely content with playing what games I've gotten in the past and my library could use my attention more.

I'm not worried about prettier visuals, when I can still have the option to slap just another newer GPU down in my PC and beef up the memory as well. My PC build was intended to run 95% of all of my games that no other PC I've had in the past could ever do. So, I'm good!

Not really. I mean I'm kind of excited for Killing Floor 3 but not really jumping up and down for, based on how Tripwire handled Killing Floor 2.

Vampires the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 is another title I've been interested in.

Everything else isn't really grabbing me strongly. I've been going backwards and going after games I've had on my wishlist for far too long than I wanted.

I'm waiting for the ones that'll just go zany and put "100GBps" or "100+ GBps!".

Because you know they will do that too.

It's simply novelty design and oh look, they've got you going to spend more money having to replace screen protectors.

I cannot imagine what it'd be like the day those models start lagging and chugging because of planned obsolescence.

Panera never was good to begin with.

Like, I know why it's being banned or has been banned or whatever. I just don't understand the rage behind to keep this shitty ass social media platform that is essentially Vine 2.0

TikTok has been the detriment to society today as Facebook was and is. People doing stupid challenges. People's attention span getting lower and lower. People pretending they're more popular than life itself because of their faux acting and lip-syncing.

Why keep the piece of shit?

The same thing that is holding us back from traveling abroad to reach all of those newfound exoplanets we keep discovering.

It'll be several long lifetimes before we can have the technology to do that.

You've been watching Armageddon, have you?

No.

People are all okay with it until the disabled child grows up and they have to spend two or three times the amount to tend to that child. And have to pay more. And have to go through so many obstacles just to support and keep that child going.

Every disabled child I've ever seen in my life, whether it's from down syndrome types to ones stuck in a chair for the rest of their life with abnormalities. I can't help but feel absolute pity and wonder exactly what they'd be thinking if their brains were normal enough to have them speak. I don't think they'd be wishing to continue living. They'd either want to die or have a different life where they're normal like everyone else.

And I think it's absolutely cruel for parents to keep them living like that.

I don't think it's 1984 but more so Brave New World.

Because in Brave New World, Huxley's worries were that we'd be drowning in irrelevancy from the truth.

But to be honest, in the past two decades that I've paid attention to society and how it functions. We're living in a mish-mash of Brave New World and 1984 together. There is no strict side that we're living in, unless it depends where you are so I'm referring to America, but it's both of the worst of worlds from either case.

I just don't give a flying fuck. Let it go. It's one less social media disease to have around.

I'm not buying it.

They still ripped off consumers and crushed competitors even when Trump wasn't president and even when Republicans didn't have control of the Senate/House. Fucking bullshit of top-tier level.

Dollar Tree.

It used to have been an unreal experience witnessing the existence of these stores when they came out. Everything for a $1. No joke. The quality of some things have had corners cut and the quantity might've been laughable, but there was a good solid purpose for these stores.

And then I started seeing the signs after a few good solid years of shopping there. The first sign was how they stopped selling eggs. This was before the Bird Flu. They stopped selling eggs because they simply couldn't afford to buy stock and then the price hike to $1.25 happened.

And now they've hiked the prices again to $1.50 for some products in a handful of stores. Additionally, they've incorporated items going from $2 ~ $15 so they have long lost the role and title of being the most affordable places to shop.

Gone were the days.

In a statement written to be shared after he died, Rinder says his biggest regret is not "ending the abuses of Scientology."

I would, with mine.

My timeline is:

Born in '89 Toddler/Child in 90s Teenager in 00s' Young Adult in '10s Adult late '10s to present.

I'd want mine altered so that it'd be:

Born in '70 Toddler/Child in 70s Teenager in 80s Young Adult in 90s Adult in 00s'

And by now I'd probably be closing in on my 50s.
