Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I thought that whole look is his “disguise” only for when he’s operating as the persona Dr. Disrespect.

I was one of those people and consider myself very lucky. My first puff was at 9 but I didn’t start regularly smoking until I was 14. In a third-world country where the laws, if they even existed, were hardly enforced, it was easy to buy smokes as a minor. It was normal, even.

I smoked through my teens and 20s and into my 30s. Then one day, I decided to quit because I knew it wasn’t healthy and I had seen pictures of smokers’ lungs. I didn’t experience any “jonesing” and didn’t need to replace the habit with gum or patches or anything. It might have helped that I worked from home at the time and was addicted to video games, so I was very motivated to stay at home. I turn 50 this year and haven’t smoked since.

I had completely forgotten about Ventrilo, Team Speak, and Mumble. This whole post is a blast from the past.

This is what I keep saying too. To believe that so many people would keep a secret is just insane. Like the conspiracy about the NFL being rigged. It’s not even just the number of people involved and the passage of time. With all the egos on any given team, there’s no way all the players, the coaches, and everybody else would roll over and throw a game just because that was "the plan"for that year.

My eyesight went to shit from sitting at a desk and staring at a monitor all day. I wonder if my eyesight would’ve remained perfect well into adulthood without computers.

I like to imagine this means “fixed that for thee.”

That’s exactly what the Forward Party is doing, as I understand it. Local level, working their way up. And like I said to the other person, I want to be hopeful because I get updates about local candidates running and winning local elections, but it’s hard to know what’s truth and what’s propaganda.

Also from what I understand, what they were trying to implement is ranked choice voting, though it’s been years since I delved into it and don’t actually know if they’re still trying to do that.

Why downvote? That’s exactly what I’m saying. I get news updates saying this person and that person have been elected at the local level, and the work is slow but supposedly they’re chipping away at the problem. I want to be hopeful but find myself wondering if it’s just propaganda.

I wonder if we’ll ever get out from under the boot of the two-party system. Yang’s Forward Party is trying and they’re supposedly making progress, but man I just feel so tired and jaded at this point.

Any Expanse fans? We need James Holden to stick his dick in it.

Truly impressive!

I feel like if Dr. Girlfriend had a cat, she would name it Dr. Cat.

I just read an interview of James Cameron where he says they actually cut off her hair which was down to her waist at the time. He told her:

“Your hair will grow back. Vasquez will live forever.”

And she really does. What a character.

Damn, might be a US-only thing then.

I still use YTM (don’t judge me 😛) and it actually defaults to the audio version instead of the video version. They just give you an option to switch to video if you wanted to.

Google lets you download your music files that you previously uploaded. The method isn’t intuitive but it’s not difficult. I don’t know if the option is still offered but I would guess it is since they still have YouTube Music.

I used to have a big CD collection. Ripped it all off the CDs and uploaded the files to GPM. I was able to download it all.

Garlic and onions are the basis for so many things that we cook at my house. I can’t imagine not having them in my diet.
