That’s a cell phone!

I have tried to out-crazy them, but crazy has gone beyond my ability in the last few years.

I haven’t opened any Christmas presents yet. We’re having a late Christmas due to crazy schedules for everyone involved.

Nah, he threw it on the ground. DUH!

The best place to start is talking to people you know and checking if they have the in with any good jobs. Then if that doesn’t work, apply directly for jobs you find by checking with individual companies, ideally speaking with the hiring manager first. Jobs listed on job boards are really difficult to get. You’re up against everyone, and they have filters that accidentally discard a lot of qualified candidates.

I don’t want to change anyone’s mind anymore. I’m so tired of trying. I just want them to STFU and believe their wacko shit in private like the good old days.

Why do they have forks for noses?

Get hammered, play Baldur’s Gate 3, pass out at 3am.

Papers please

It was somewhat safe when there were like 2 billion people on the planet. Not so much when there’s 8 billion.

I figure that’s about what a CD used to cost back in the day, adjusted for inflation. We were paying $16 for a CD back in the early 90’s. Records are probably more expensive to make, and often have really cool artwork as inserts. There’s the thrift store too though. About half of my record collection are original presses that I got from the thrift store for twenty five cents each. They don’t sound as good, but they’re pretty neat. Sometimes I buy a record at the thrift store just because it has cool artwork, like the Chicago album that has pressed engraving artwork, like dollar bills.

Edit: wow, CDs actually cost more back then adjusted for inflation. $36.12 in 1992.

I do miss not being expected to have my phone with me all the time

I didn’t have a cell phone for long after they became mainstream. I still remember a friend hitting me up on Facebook with a message saying he had been calling me all day and kept getting VM, asking why I don’t answer my phone. I thoroughly enjoyed saying “I wasn’t home and don’t take my landline with me when I go out”. I do have a cellphone now, and I dislike how people freak out if you don’t respond within 10 minutes. Like, chill the fuck out dude, I’m doing things.

I do miss the era of physical media

I still buy vinyl records, and love listening to them. Thankfully they’re hipster now, so you can get high quality, deep cut records for just about any album. I buy CDs at the thrift store for $0.25-$1.00. I’ve managed to buy every CD I lost throughout my life, plus everything else I always wanted, but couldn’t afford. I even found the Pink Floyd Pulse album in perfect condition for $2.

As usual, it’s actually somewhere in-between the two.

The audio port for headphones and headsets. Replaceable batteries. Extendable storage. Fuckers charge 100x more for every little upgrade now.

Leather needs to be maintained (oiled or polished), even if you’re not wearing them.

I haven’t heard of that service before, so I can’t say.

What’s the benefit if you don’t have ED?

My friend with no ED said he took a Viagra and it burst the skin of his penis. No fucking thank you on that, man!

Possibly. I have seen many drawings depicting Santa being threatened by technology.

You can’t even shake Facebook or Google that way. How do you expect it to work against a demi-god?

Yeah, the ants. Maybe they just followed a scent trail into your house and live far away. If that’s the case then it’ll be easy. A couple of addresses ago we had a fire ant colony living under our foundation. Nothing we did got rid of them. Even powerful poisons that they take back to the colony only worked for a week or two until the next round hatched and they were right back. It sucked! Best of luck! Hopefully they live far away.
