If I don’t work I become homeless and starve to death. I do the minimum to keep my job and fuck the rest.

Gunstar Heroes. It was the first game I ever beat on my Genesis.

I saw my retired grandparents buy property in the country and spend all day working on their garden and continuously making improvements to their home and doing other projects that interested them. In the summer they traveled the country and camped. If you spend your retirement wasting away in front of the TV that’s on you for not finding some hobbies.

I’d kind of see that as a bonus. Some time to bond while on a nice vacation on someone else’s dime would be cool especially if it meant not having to deal with the ex and the new guy as much. Definitely don’t go if you’re not going to be civil with the ex and him though (which would be understandable given the circumstances). Ruining the trip for everyone else won’t gain anything other than possibly resentment from the kid.

That probably wouldn’t have been too far off.

They banned me for giving my opinion on how child molesters should be punished and then permabanned me for doing it again when I got back. Funny thing is people say the exact same kind of shit about all kinds of other people and those comments are fine… weird how they only care to protect people who molest children.

I used to work at a auto shop and one time a lady came in wanting an estimate to replace the majority of the exhaust on her car. We didn’t do exhaust work so the only way for me to price that out for her was to go based off the purchase of all the components from the parts shop which would have been way more expensive than a shop that actually does exhaust work. I told her as such and then she insisted that I price it out anyway which took forever because I had to find a diagram of her cars exhaust and cross reference all the parts with the parts shop website and then the entire time she’s bitching at me about how long this is taking. I continued to explain that going to an exhaust shop would be cheaper and she continued to insist. When I handed her the estimate she glanced at it, laughed in my face, and stormed out. That shit happened almost 2 decades ago and it still pops into my head frequently.

I remember staying up til I heard my parents start moving around in the morning and then rushing to shut down the PC and jump in bed before my mom came out. Good times.

I didn’t know Frieza had a lemmy account.

Mines Gundam and Godzilla. I rambled about Gundam stuff for an hour and a half straight last time I hung out with my brother.

Reminded me of this guy.

Oh you know, laundry and suicidal ideations. The usual.

One of our family friends owned a property I used to go camping on when I was a kid. There was a heavily wooded area with a creek running through it and there was a wide part of it that had a bend that went around a sandbar that was big enough to camp on. It was so quiet and peaceful there. Probably my favorite spot on the planet. I’ve found other places like that but they’ve been in public campgrounds and having tons of people around ruins the vibe.

I have this problem at work. Sit and stare at my screen for an hour trying to make myself do something but as soon as someone else asks for my help I jump right on their thing… Sometimes of their thing is similar enough to mine I can trick myself into doing mine too but that doesn’t always work.

Wasn’t the whole premise of the supreme court over turning roe v wade that the states should be allowed to decide? Not that I think they’ll stop at hypocrisy I just think it should be pointed out.

Sound and Fury - Sturgill Simpson

Probably my earliest memory of interacting with someone outside my family was when I was in an Easter egg hunt and being a little kid somehow managed to drop all my eggs. Another kid stopped what he was doing to help me pick them up. I don’t know why but that stuck in my head and I think it’s influenced how I’ve treated people throughout my life.

I’m older than you but otherwise the same. Seems like everything is going in the wrong direction thanks to corpos trying to wring as much money as possible out of it rather than making it as useful to people as possible.
