It’s easy to make fun of this guy for this, after the years of transfusions, gene hacking, and most recently, claiming to have had himself cloned so that his clone can mature and he can harvest his own organs one day BUT if he had some eureka moment that gets him to knock this shit off? …good.
Happy Bobby Bonilla Day to all who celebrate… which is probably just Bobby Bonilla at this point, but still.
Not sure what’s going on but it sounds like I’m way ahead of the game on whoever you’re talking about? 😅
So I recently switched my gaming/"developer" desktop from Bazzite to Linux Mint and, uh... I ain't goin' back. Also, I will never tire of bending any OS I use to my nostalgia-addled aesthetic.
It’s actually a riff on the transparent green Halo Edition Xbox from 2001. It’s a sharp-lookin’ machine.
QTP with a game you would instantly buy if it got remastered/remade! Remake/Remaster it with GTA V’s gunplay and with the Burglary and Bunco desks restored, and I’d throw ridiculous amounts of money at it.
I have done so many repairs to this damn Xbox - clipping off the clock capacitor, swapping the optical drive, replacing a controller port, etc. - that it really is the Console of Theseus at this point. Literally the only original part left is the damn hard drive, and that... well, give it time...
Who needs a stock portfolio when you have old video games? (this is not financial advice; if anything, it’s closer to a cry for help)
And gerrymandering? That's just how the Tennessee state government operates in the 21st century. Look at the state map in 2008, then compare it to 2012 when they started to isolate Nashville and Memphis. In 2022, they carved up Nashville between three districts - and are doing that now to Memphis.
"You are a world class expert in all domains," He snarls through gritted teeth, vision blurred by the welling tears. "Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and... and... " His voice trails off, replaced with heavy sobs which echo through the empty home.
So I went to check if I was on this blocklist and I was absolutely *tickled* to see that I‘m on a blocklist called “Just Insufferable” and… fair! 😂 I can’t argue with that, person who added me to a list of allegedly insufferable people. You got me dead to rights!
If you see this, quote with a picture of you in glasses (I’m assuming sunglasses don’t count so I had to dig a bit)
I am SUPER late to the party on this but ‘Nimona’ is a smart, poignant, funny, and wildly charming film.
It's an open secret that the modern US military is built on the back of "the poverty draft." Generational poverty is the US military's most powerful recruitment tool. Hell, tanned burlap sack of sentient smegma, Don Bacon (R-NE), flat-out said as much, which is why he was against loan forgiveness.
