Sorry, I only know when they end

The opening credits of Tales from the Darkside. The music scared me so bad that I’d cover my ears until the show had started.

Still gives me a wiggins.

Yes, it was a pretty big thing nationally when this happened to Christopher Reeve. It was all over the news for a good long while and again when he passed. It was just the big freak accident that came out of nowhere, like what happened to Sonny Bono.

Seriously, just amazing skill and beautifully done!

Someone has to be saying it. If the bastards want to spout about getting rid of our migrant population, trans people, black people, etc then someone has to point out the real problem.

And sometimes he makes up stories out of thin air to justify working for Palantir—like that line about the medical debt. His parents don’t have any, nor are they ill.

I will lie to get laid. WHY DONT WOMEN LIKE ME?!

A lot of prospective boyfriend carers don’t know this, but once the typical boyfriend comes of age to be chosen by a carer, they are perfectly capable of procuring and preparing their own food!

Just make certain that you show them where the food items are located, and they should be able to provide not only for themselves, but for you, too! Now, no one says it’s wrong to feed a boyfriend, but not playing to their capabilities not only deprives them of proper growth, but robs you of a core feature of boyfriends: sharing a life as equals!

Just be a thoughtful and responsible carer, and you could have a happy home for decades, or until it shits on the floor and you have to put it down.

Dick Van Dyke and Dolly Parton are the real American royalty.

Rule number one: If you see someone shoplifting food, no you didn’t.

Won’t someone please think of the white, Christian men?

His wife doesn’t deserve this, but he sure as fuck does. I hope she uses this as an opportunity to reconsider at least one choice.

Every person who has this “realization” that trump will be bad for them deserves to be smacked by everyone who wants to.

Well fuck Nvidia, then.

Did she pull the head off of one of her creatures and beat another with its ripped out spine?

Bullshit. They are doing that to cause a fever of pre-orders in the US despite the tariffs. Within a year, they will be on shelves.

That’s way too much fucking food.

I can relate. I have been in tech for about 30 years now and have never been less interested in it. I used to love learning and implementing new things, and now I’d rather not. I think part of it is the changing landscape for tech but a lot of it is just me. I’m not really playing video games anymore, don’t read the tech-based posts on Lemmy or videos on any of the creator platforms. I don’t care about upgrading my devices, it just seems like a waste of money to drop $1000 on an incremental upgrade and AI that I don’t want.

Part of it is that I’ve just reached an age where I’m starting to think about what I have done, what I haven’t done and what I’m going to leave behind and what I’m leaving behind is game consoles and a collection of cables that I’ll never use. So, I’ve decided to move on. I’m volunteering at a local living history museum where we are restoring the waterway of a late 1700s grist and woolen mill, rebuilding and preserving something that the community can enjoy long after I’m gone. I’m also learning how to make things. I’m learning woodworking to start making shaker-style furniture and how to process wool and crochet. I’m crocheting a nice wool blanket for my wife so she has something tangible to remember me by if I’m lucky enough to go first. What woodworking tools I don’t have, I’m making. I’ve made a mallet, marking gauge, shooting board, and am just finishing a turning saw that I can use now and will still be usable to someone else long after I’m gone.

Anyways, to close out this ramble, take a step back from tech and think about legacy. Tech is just a tool and it’s rare that it will allow you leave behind anything lasting. It’s frustrating and lonely and it’s only getting worse. Get out and do something for your community or make something for your loved ones. Find the ability to take personal satisfaction in doing instead of consuming. You’ll be happier.

Relationship mechanics. If I give someone a pumpkin twice a week, they’re just going to be confused and pissed.
