This about me and my kid ain’t it? :p
This about me and my kid ain’t it? :p
Me too. God bless the Appalachian mountains.
I’ve probably met more mouth breathing, lead paint eating morons (myself included. As a matter of fact, at one time I was a t-1000 Liquid Metal mercury from 50 thermometers in my hand moron) than most people will ever encounter in 10 lifetimes. I can count on one hand just how many of those people were truly bad people.
If I have a visibly heavy load at work, it can be annoying how many people wander up and say, “hey ‘ere buddy. Yew gawn need inny hep wittat? I’ze just checkin’.”
Open the hood of your car and you can summon an entire neighborhood. For real, need directions in the Appalachians, just stop somewhere with houses, open your hood and spend a few minutes staring at your engine.
I struggled with my back being numb and tingly for 3 years over a pair of shoes wearing like this. Nearly drove me insane and a decade later I still have issues from time to time.
All I know is that I long for it for some damn reason. As an Appalachian kid with too little to eat, that shit was heaven. I don’t know if it was just because I was hungry, but I was sad to see it go.
This made me think of something else too.
My mom used to stop at a gas station, send me in first with a food stamp dollar to buy a .05 cent piece of gum. My brother would do the same thing, then we’d drive down to the next station and do it again. Finally, at the third station we’d come to the car and give my mom the change. Once we were done, she could afford enough gas to go visit my aunt and my cousins.
Once the EBT card came out that was over for poor folks.
People would stand outside of gas stations and stop people, “hey bro, I’ll buy you two twelve packs of soda for two bucks. You can get a candy bar too.” They usually end up trespassed. The smart ones would sell the cards for half their value (smart? I know) so they didn’t get banned from stores.
Working in a gas station in Appalachia I seen a number of people open their wallets and have several EBT cards.
I just found the one I have and it has an ARM processor. :(
I have one. It’s one of the higher end deals from a couple years ago (for a chrome book). I have been excited to work on it every time I’ve seen something like this posted.
I CAN’T FIND IT! Gaaaaah.
I seen the damn thing a thousand times. I wasn’t looking for it. Now? Gone. Nowhere.
Does this shit happen to anyone else?
No, they can. They just enjoy an overall smoother and prettier experience. I was once able to afford such a machine.
Hell, tuning the graphics and all that is an experience. I used to get games I’d never play looking as good as possible just because it was fun to tinker until I got the best performance I could get.
It’s a whole other experience. I’m happy to play whatever, but that was fun too.
I still have my old consoles hooked up to an old crt. I still play my NES and N64 regularly.
It makes me angry for some reason. Like, maybe there’s this primitive thing in me that says, “SWALLOW YOUR FOOD, APE!” but it’s not for swallowing. I know that, my brain don’t, so it say, “GET ANGRY, APE!”
Oh no, they absolutely did say that.
I distinctly remember commercials that said, “you can’t smoke at work, so you need such and such gum”.
That’s for a different reason, but it was tied to smoking at least.
She said no!!! 😭
I’m on the leaderboards for pinballfx. Every time I get closer to the top 3 my wife says, “Talk to me when you’re number 1.”
Does this mean I’m good at sex?
I really don’t understand why the whole finder/explorer/dolphin way of doing things wasn’t carried over to phones.
I’ve only really used Apple phones, but that was something that shocked me right away.
Back when I jailbroke my phones (before I got lazy) I had an awesome file explorer with the finder icon that made me feel at home for a bit.
Yeah, holy shit that’s amazing. My brain was doing waves.
South Park did it! South Park did it!
Oh hey, it’s just a girl.
I kinda always knew she’d end up my ex girlfriend, and that shit was bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Don’t speak, I know just what you’re thinking. It didn’t happen. Well. You’re right. It didn’t.
God, I wish I could stop but I just can’t.
Two and a half minute. Haha. I do that one constantly too.
His performance in Encino Man moved me to tears. When he wheezed the juice in that wheezing the juice scene I couldn’t breathe. The cashier had such a small role, but my god was it powerful. “No wheezing the juuuuuuh uuuuice!”
When I found out the caveman started a band I was ecstatic. Part 2 wasn’t as good as the first one, but it was still pretty good.
Me too, and I just suffer for it haha.
I know it’s stupid, but I just can’t give up good food. My stomach will hurt so bad it feels like I have back problems or something and I’m still not eating spaghetti without my garlic bread.
I don’t eat the good stuff constantly, most of my meals are bland. When I get a chance though I don’t pass on it.
I bought some for my daughter to learn and you’re right, it’s not cheap.
It didn’t go the way she wanted it to go so she threw it away. I really wish I had been able to keep it so she can see her progress one day.
