And as much as many of you irritate me with the status-quo doom and gloom, basically mimicking Mouse from the Poorly Drawn Lines comic strip: It's one of my favorite places to talk current events because we're all so used to each other and not questioning motives. Hope y'all are doing well in life.

I held my dog’s paws with tears in my eyes when the vet gave him the medicine that would end his suffering. It was the most gut wrenching moment of my life (well, until my dad died months later), and this was over a dog I initially didn’t even WANT in the first place. FUCK. I hope bad things happen to Kristi Noem and only Kristi Noem.

hell yeah I’m woke

I went to see a girl I've been hooking up with and tried to turn it into something serious but come to find out relationships aren't her thing. Which is fine could have left if at that but after I left she had to make a big deal out of it (I guess I was stupid for bringing it up on her period). It's about a 3 hour drive home and about halfway home my dad calls me... Fuck this can't be good Gramma is gone So I go and pick my car up that is finally fucking fixed after 6 weeks and out to the family house... Dad's like "about an hour ago Johnny passed away (one of my Grandma's nephews)... Oh on a random fact it's also my step brothers birthday today. Anyhow my dad is looking for the will and can't find the key to the big safe or one of the small safety boxes. So I'm going through all the keys for the one box he can't find the key to (he found the keys to multiple other ones)... I find the right key and I open it up and attached to the inside of the lid is a letter "For Anthony" (hey that's me...)... I open it Anthony: I hid in the wall behind the toilet a safety box for you use it wisely. Grandpa P.S. Only use it if something happens to me and Grandma I find it and for fucks sakes he can hide a safety box in the wall but not tell me where the key is So I go back into the mountain of keys and eventually find the one. Inside is a bunch of old coins and some old bills including a $2 bill from 1964 in damn good shape... I bet a lot of this is really valuable but I can't use it it's all really valuable to me now

One more try to get a free game. I'm not going to do another one any time soon but with Stellar Blade coming out I'd figure some of you guys who weren't willing to buy it may give it a try if it was for free. I really appreciate everyone on here that discusses games with me and helps me out. Pick a number from 1-100 and this time it has nothing to do with Michael Jordan.

Alright, let's get everyone vaccinated globally against a certain type of virus, and then a few years later just fucking bombard the atmosphere with 20,000 strains of that virus to kill off the morons.

Net neutrality restored as FCC votes to regulate internet providers APNEWS.COM The FCC on Thursday restored rules to prevent broadband internet providers such as Comcast and AT&T from favoring some sites and apps over others — for instance, by slowing or blocking certain content or by offering higher speeds to customers willing to pay extra.

I'm feeling generous again and thankful for getting to discuss games with you guys on here. I can't believe this place has been running as long as it has been. Anyway, pick a number between 1-100 again. Good luck!

Momentum builds to oust Johnson from House speakership https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/16/mike-johnson-house-speaker-ukraine-israel-greene-massie/

There is certainly a fair emotional response to a situation that is unfair in a vacuum, that one group gets something while another group doesn’t. But in this particular instance it misses a larger issue that the system of higher education finance is itself unfair on a fundamental level. Spending more time with kids who are trying their hardest to improve their lives through education as I walk with my own children through their college career, I have an even better sense of just how little the average person understands how to pay for college, or what the expected value of a particular degree will be. How do you make rational economic decisions when so much is obfuscated, even more so when you are largely talking about 18-22 year olds who barely understand the basics of personal finance? Getting a college education does not have to be prohibitively expensive, but it has been for many people through a combination of ignorance and predatory behavior. The federal government played a large part in making this system, they ought to do more to fix what they broke. Debt forgiveness shouldn’t be the end of the process, but it is one proper step to take.

I think a more effective reform would be to reform the entire Federal Court system. District Judges are randomly assigned to districts and reassigned to a district randomly every 5 years (1/5th of each district court moving each year). Appeals Court Judges are also reassigned to a different Circuit Court every 5 years same as District Judges. The Supreme Court will only have a permanent Chief Justice. 13 Associate Justices will be randomly selected from among Appeals Judges from each Circuit serving a 13 year term (one new and retiring Associate Justice every year). Chief Justice gets a double vote in the event of a tie. I don't think you need a Constitutional Amendment for any of this.

Stolen from Reddit: "HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT ROMANS AND PHARISEES THAT DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH ME LIVING BY HANGING ME ON THIS CROSS INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DESPISE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY JERUSALEM, A NOW FAILING CITY, LIKE "DERANGED" PONTIUS PILOT, WHO IS EVIL AND "SICK," MR. JUDAS "JUDE" ISCARIOT, WHO SAID HE HARDLY KNEW THE ROMANS, ONLY TO FIND THAT HE BETRAYED ME FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER - A PITIFUL AMOUNT OF MONEY BY THE WAY - LONG BEFORE THE CRUCIFICTION OF JESUS CHRIST BEGAN (AND THERBY MAKING THE CASE AGAINST ME NULL, VOID, AND ILLEGAL!)
