    Wisdom Teeth suck. I was awake for my first when it was removed, and had myself knocked out for the other 3. I still have them somewhere and they were fucking deep roots. I wish I was old enough back then (and legal) to have taken some edibles or a few tokes to calm my nerves for that first one. Still have shivers when they numbed me with that 3rd needle. They just left it dangling upwards in my gum swinging back and forth, followed by “we’re ready” Enjoy the games, weed and soft food for the next few days of healing

    My surgeon asked if I was "user", i was honest about it. He outright said if he suspected I was high he was gonna cancel it. Fair play to him.

  2. Home and alive with a mouth full of stitches. I got my Lortabs and we stopped at the dispensary and filled up on edibles. Gonna spend the long weekend doped to the gills playing videogames .

    Yes, because subjecting a child to the underfunded, understaffed, neglected hellhole that is the American foster care/adoption system is a fate worse than death.

    And god forbid if that child is something other than white or light skinned. Good fucking luck.

    Futurismo Records are releasing this incredible hardcore compilation album this month. As compilations go, this is full of a pretty incredible track list from Dead Kennedys to Circle Jerks, Suicida…

     

     

     

     

     

  5. This topic is like religion , folks are gonna pick and choose their own rules and validate breaking them when ever possible. I am gonna watch Repulsion or Rosemarys Baby. I am gonna listen to Mayham or Burzam. My fruits and veg that I buy , likely picked by immigrants being paid slave wages at best. My electronics made with strip mined minerals and child slave labor. At this point there some walking dick tip making money off everything we consume.

    Honest question... if you're bi-sexual or gay, what exactly is appealing about the conservative movement and right wing politics? I think I know the answer but... damn. And this guy is a gay minority! What the actual hell? And people take these nutjobs seriously?

    I think its similar to kids who are abused and become school bullies. They feel powerless in their own lives and swinging to the right gives them an control over others even if it means pushing down your own.

    If I wanted to become hipster vinyl with absolutely no equipment how would I start? I’m ashamed to admit this but I just I have a sound bar I Bluetooth music to when I want to listen to something.

    Streaming music is just fine, dont be ashamed of that. I buy quite a bit of vinyl but most of my music listening is streaming to wireless ear buds.

    A basic setup would be a player to a receiver of some type . If your soundbar has RCA connections or audio input it will work as a receiver. 

     

    This is a good start for a player

    Connect it to your soundbar if possible and you are ready to go. If your soundbar doesn't have the connections then a simple 2 channel receiver and speakers will be needed.

    Also @SimpleG when you go 32gb for ram check your ram speed (also i’m assuming you do not really have ddr3 ram?) and get whatever is best for your motherboard. Ram is dirt cheap again and ram speed matters. You’ll have to get  a full 32gb and ditch the old 16gb, but, it’s worth the price if you are on slower ram.

    Ddr4 not 3 sorry , 16 seemed acceptable for so long but 32 seems the minimum now.

    I'd definitely up system ram to 32gb. Pending the resolution you play at I'd look into a 4070 Ti or a, ideally, a 4080 (you'd need to go a bit over your budget). There's also the 7800XTX. but given the RT performance, especially with Path Tracing in Cyberpunk, I have an extremely hard time recommending high-end AMD GPUs as you'd be spending $1k and need to turn down settings in many games still, which... just hurts my brain. 

    Upping the memory is on the list with the new GPU. I was looking at the 7900 but its RT seemed less than impressive.

    People who abandon their shopping cart at the top of an aisle so they can walk down another empty aisle to look for something. The carts are on fucking wheels for a reason people. These people pissed me off at my old job and they do at my new one as well.

    I am not the most pleasant looking fellow so your milage may very but I just take their cart and proceed to continue with my shopping. Out of the 6 or 8 times Ive done it all but 1 has looked at the cart, looked at me, looked at the cart and then gone and grabbed another cart. My other favorite thing is when 2 separate ass bags decide to block the isle and bullshit with each other. I just ram their carts with mine and i dont care if its man, women, or child, i am gonna get through.

    I don't know about lately, but I make a point to check the Fox News homepage daily and it's downright shocking just how blatantly manipulative and deceptive they are. It's really beyond comprehension how they can get away with calling themselves a news source when it's immediately clear to any person who hasn't been slow boiled for 20 years by their endless stream of nonsensical anger porn that they are not an actual news source. Every story. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Is designed with one purpose and one purpose only. To enrage and anger their audience. That's really it.

     

    They don't report on stories, they report on reaction to stories. They didn't have a single fucking actual story about the state reps who were removed from their seats... but they had about 2-3 talking about various people's reactions to the story.

     

    If Biden makes an executive order or something, they don't write a story on it and slant it to the right. The story will be "Biden Slammed from all sides for controversial decision" with a photo of Biden looking confused photoshopped in front of a storm of money... and then in the story they will quote 3 or 4 Ted Cruz types and Fox News hosts outrage and then some lukewarm mild statement from a democrat congressperson from Idaho that you've never heard of... and then the comments will be an endless stream vile hate and lies and racists advocating for death in the streets. That's how about half the country gets their news of the world.

     

    Don't believe me? Go check it out. I don't care what day it is, what is happening or when... ANY TIME you click on Fox News, you will be shocked by what they are presenting as the most important news of the day.

     

    It's like you are watching news from a different alternate universe.

    The viewers suffer from an addiction to hate and outrage and Fox delivers that in spades. If they just delivered the news as is the viewers might form their own opinion outside the cult and if that happens they will tune in less. Foxs only concern is that sweet sweet grift money and they need them viewers.
