What options do they really have?

Do you even know what kind of punishments a soldier would endure if they refuse orders? Quite a lot. You sign up with the military, you are signing your life over to them.

Well that also leads to the saying that you can’t force a horse to drink water but you can lead them to it. Which follows with play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

If anybody hasn’t learned from their failings by not taking sagely advice, then the blame is flat on them for the fuck up.

The only small businesses I care of is when it comes to lawyers, psychologists, doctors, car repair shops and other professions similar to them.

Call me a capitalist or whatever, but almost any other small business I go to shop in, their prices are absurd and somehow worse than the big-chain stores is. Their staff could either be some of the nicest people you meet, operated by a family or they can be the opposite where the family don’t know what the hell they’re doing and they try ripping you off and getting involved in their drama.

I assume assholes, all the time.

I have only slammed my door a handful of times in gaps of time but that’s only because something or someone has really pissed me off to get there. I normally don’t like slamming things.

Shovel Knight was responsible for kicking off the second renaissance wave of indie games, as Cave Story was the first wave. It’s quite a bit saddening that they’ve put themselves in this corner.

I have a feeling I have it, I just currently don’t want the confirmation.

So far I suspect going to the bathroom a lot has something to do with it. There were even times where I’ve gone to the bathroom, pissed, then not even 2 minutes I immediately had to go back in and piss again. My body has a weird reaction to sleep, where I’ll struggle to sleep normally, but sleeping isn’t a problem when, you know - I have to go to the bathroom. Like why then?

There were even times where I step into the bathroom to shower or whatever, body immediately wants to piss. A sip of water, pissing again. It’s aggravating.

I am a little out of the scope as to who’s who in today’s stand-up comedy. I listen to Sirius XM channels of comedy stations based on a comic’s arrangement.

Listening to stand up comedy at all, it’s a little relieving. It does make you think but laugh too.

Mine is my bank’s app. I have to double-verify every other time I need to login. Sometimes things would fail.

And it has a 25% chance of crashing, too.

Yeah you’re trolling.

I’m pretty sure you’re trolling but, Hitler took advantage of a weakened Germany after everything in WW1. When someone is weak, that’s what you do. He was an opportunist, a cunning one at that. Nothing he did was bold or bright, things just fell into place after little to no effort on his part.

And Hitler did not make Germany a superpower. He only had maybe 3 or 4 good years of a run before whatever so-called “brilliance” he had on the field of war, ran right out and plummeted Germany’s reputation and impression on the globe with it.

I have endured over 29 years of familial abuse from an unloving and manipulative family before I truly and fully got to live on my own. The other two move-outs, were with other people, who I could work with but no long-term plans. I’ve been on my own for 3 and a 1/2 years now. I don’t regret a thing. I’ve endured so much shit to have gotten me here and I’ve been floating just fine.

If I look around me and continue to find everyone else just complaining and arguing than doing something about their problems, then why the fuck should I be the one to do it for them?

I mean yes, I’ve been having scenarios in my mind about how glorious it’d be to assassinate Trump, Musk, Vance and whoever I can get my hands on who are Republican and messing with power.

But then a couple striking things came to my mind. If I did that, throwing everything and everyone away in my life to accomplish a pretty slim chance in achieving such a goal, what are the odds the American people will later vote in someone just as bad if not worse than Trump? Then my valiant effort would’ve been in vain. Would it have been worth it?

Then the other thought is, people are just going to go back to being shitty among themselves and infect that to everyone else near them so it wouldn’t have fucking mattered anyways. I would’ve only made things feel good for the moment and for a little while until the dust all clears and things will be back to “normal” soon enough.

Because then I’d also realize, that for real change to happen, needs to be a grand collaborative effort and we aren’t there yet and probably may not be there ever. Sure, I’ve disposed of one of those targets, but there’s still a deal of corrupt wealthy assholes around. What I’d do isn’t going to incite people to do the same, they’re just going to sink back into their armchairs and give a big sigh of relief that someone else did something they wish they could do.

And at that point, yeah I’d rather care now about shit that don’t matter to people but matters to me because of those few facts.

Four things come to mind:

Who was meant to be the X to my Y? What was I meant to do in my life? Whose lives did I help change the most? Whose lives did I actually make a living hell?

I don’t care, really.

It is said by people who truly only peaked in high school and think still saying that is the cool thing to do.

Like if my mom died and someone said that, I’d probably be like “oh so you’re into necrophilia? good to know, champ”

What can’t piss off Islam?

You’re having a conversation in ChatGPT and all of a sudden you’re being bombarded with questions like how swell it’d be to buy something from Amazon or play this shitty-ass app game with MTX.

What a timeline…

Sega being Sega…they haven’t really learned much, haven’t they? Makes me kind of wish sometimes that they’re truly knocked out of the video game industry.

Why are they delisting Kiwami 1 and 2? They’re remakes of the Y1 and Y2. I didn’t know that one.

What the fuck does any of that rambling have to do with the question?

With all of the attempts to dismantle voting booths and artificially mess with the results every freaking election, why even bother voting anymore?

It’s like we tell the naysayers about voting as to why voting at all in America is pointless. But they still cling to some hope that they’re heard. Well guess what? When a candidate can still win by Electoral College despite the popular majority, that alone tells you how little your little voices mean. When an election can be won by stupid points.
