Am I the only one who read the article, and has no idea what the hell they’re talking about?

It’s also a natural pest repellant. Fleas, rats, mice, bed bugs. They all hate the smell, and will avoid it.

I’m high, and didn’t realize that mint connected to all of the things listed. So I thought mint was just another of the things listed. So I began looking for lettuce. Then I saw Linux, and got so confused.

Ooooooh, bonus, your yard will always attract cats!

So there was a two year period where Germany had two currencys? The Deutsche Mark and the Euro from 1999-2001?

Oh,ok. Thats fine. I was getting concerned he was like 8. I was gonna be like “FBI? Yes, this post right here.”

Man…I’m way out of here with my understanding of German currency. I thought the German mark was the currency they introduced after WWI when they started just printing money to pay back the allies.

Then I thought they abandoned it in favor of the euro which came after WWII.

My timeline/understanding is way off

Um…how old is your boyfriend?

What we think: “See? All of this fuss and worry is for nothing. No need to be racist.”

What they’ll think: “Hmmmmm. Looks like we’ll have to find some new ways to opress latinos into poverty so they’ll be forced to steal to provide for their family. Then we can point to increased crime rates to support our nonexistant reasons to deport them all.”

I honestly think the vast majority would drop him. Its their hard line. For now they’re denying he’s in there. But hia plummeting popularity show that some republicans are in agreement that trump is guilty. Which is why they’ve stopped supporting him in recent years.

So I think his base would dramatically shrink. But not die.

Not going to read the article. I’m just going to say that we live in the dumbest timeline.

Alright. Thats it. I’ve had enough of these territory disputes. I declaire all of existence to be my territory. Yep. Every single atom that exists. All mine. I own everything now.

And for anyone who wishes to dispute this, the process is simple. Just take a number, use your toungue to write out a letter of dispute, directly onto my butthole! Anyone who doesn’t do this respects my claim to everything.

Nope. Not really. All this random multitasking, all the constant never ending bullshit. It’s all actually 1 task.

That 1 task is called “Distract everybody from the epstein files”

Ya know? Most of the time I don’t get to say this, but I think if the fediverse had a MySpace type service, I think the fediverse version might actually out-perform the official real version of MySpace. Which would probably be the thing that makes some corporate entity try to sue the fediverse.

Now in theory, MySpace can’t sue this Fediverse version of MySpace. For clarity sake, let’s call this fictional version of MySpace “FediSpace”.

So if MySpace tried to sue FediSpace, we all know that the decentralized nature of the fediverse should make that more or less impossible. But how would it hold up in real life? You can make all the laws you want. You can plan your government to run however you want. If the last few years have taught me anything it’s that none of that matters. If the people with money want to win, the courts are not an obstacle. They will make shit up, ignore shit, do whatever they can so the company with the money wins in court.

I just have no idea what that would look like. I don’t rule out the possibility, but I think it would require thousands of lawsuits. And I don’t see MySpace footing the bill for that. So I have no idea how to imagine it.

Oh god not again!!! MySpace Tom is about to kidnap people in vans, and shoot innocent people on the street while taking no responsibility in the slightest.

What? That’s what happened last time someone trying to make a comeback said that. Look what happened within a year.

Well clearly nothing could go wrong with that, right? …right?

On top of that, everything since the PS4 and even some of PS3, has been game files are on the disc, but incomplete. Disc is more or less a DRM security check to make sure you still have the game. Outside of that, you still have to download the full game basically. The disc is useless if you tried using this in the year 2067. By then I’m sure any service related to the PS5 will be long dead. Right now, I can buy and play NES games from 1985. I have no issue doing that. As long as your TV has component cable input, I can play an NES on your TV with an NES I can buy on ebay. The game and console both made in the 1980s. It will still work. Might need some isopropyl alcohol and a few q-tips, but it will work. 1985 was 41 years ago. 2067 is 41 years from now. I have zero faith that you’ll be able to use anything from the PS4 or PS5 era. That will become lost media. There may be issues connecting an NES to a modern TV in 2067, but if there are adaptors to make it work on whatever they use at the time, and if the physical plastic and brass hasn’t eroded, then you’ll STILL be able to use an NES in 2067. I have zero faith that Gen-Z will be able to show their grandkids what they played in 2018.

Good chance I’ll be dead before then, so I may not even see the day. My point stands though. We’re living in a digital only age, when we haven’t figured out how we will forever preserve these games. Because unless something crazy changes, I fully believe this generation is a generation you can only play now, while you can. My PS3 still has the PSHome app installed. I remember playing on PSHome for years. Then one day, they announced it would die, and all access to the service would be lost to time. Which is how it stands to this day.

I forget what the error says if you try to launch it now, but I stopped trying to launch it, because I was afraid it might self-delete.

In general, ICE is always the problem. Even in Las Vegas.

And through it all, the mountains can all agree…trump is the biggest piece of shit they’ve ever heard of.
