I think I have Stockholm syndrome because retroarch is just so comfy now.

It helps that they added auto save an auto load for save states so I just launch the game from my launcher, then close it with a button combination back to the launcher, and I never have to go through those awful menus.

Dunno if we have sticky or something but this is my groups go to rom resource

Right? From the same guy, “I won’t enact Project 2025.”

The first movie my current boss (20 year army infantry guy with significant brainworms) and I ever discussed was starship troopers. It’s like we watched a completely different movie.

His take was, when he was in the army he shouldn’t vote because “that’s like voting for your own boss” which I guess is bad somehow. After watching the movie, his take is that you should only be able to vote if you’ve been in the military, but only after you get out (honorably of course) because of course he can’t purge that initial brainworm, just modify it slightly with another contradiction.

It was like talking to a brick wall trying to explain the satire

Edit: forgot to add, he also didn’t think he should vote while he was in because that’s the thing that would make him complicit with the warcrimes they committed. Not, you know, just following orders which is a perfectly valid moral defense to him.

Deport him to El Salvador

might have been commenting as a way to save it for later, I used to do that on other forums

Yep. Just a way of linking social media posts to an action most people are willing to take. Not everyone who is Anti-Israel can or will go to protests, so they gotta have some crumble of an action to arrest someone over their thoughts.

For the rest it’s a solid warning.

Mine was a few days ago, I don’t really have any tips except try and talk to people. They act extra nice when they find out it’s your birthday and that’s kinda nice. I can say or do weird shit and they give me more grace than usual.

The warehouse I work at hasn’t started using robot labor to replace humans on the floor yet thanks to the Unions, but they switched 4PL providers to one that uses some robot thing for load planning and it’s been a nightmare.

I really miss ordering the nice stuff direct from factories in China. Things like fountain pens, pencils, other art supplies I use, got a nice watch, etc.

Even with tariffs there are things I’m willing to pay +145% on because I already thought it was ridiculous the quality for price I could find compared to the other crap out there. Like my watch; 80 bucks, would turn into a little over 200 I think, and that’s still almost 300 less than an equivalent European made watch with the exact same movement and similar case materials.
