Yes, look into the man. He composed a shitload of his music.

Hey now. Its ok we all make booboos. I bought a Game Gear.

All your personal issues with the man are yours and not in dispute. I think a big difference here is that MJ was a musical virtuoso, not just a singer and showman.

God The Ramones are such a weak band. I’ve never understood people’s fanaticism.

A routing rule solves it, but you’re too Linux to know that.

Why? You showed up scolding others while simultaneously revealing that it is you that misunderstands the plight of the Indigenous people of Canada. Most people with basic compassion and a remote awareness of our social issues wouldn’t approach the way you did.

edit: So I’m saying again, look in the mirror, for it is you that needs to expand your awareness

C’mon… One more memory for the road…

Nope. Ballmer is and always will be the all time king R. He’s the dude that had MS pilot away from handheld devices because nobody will ever use cell phones. This was when MS was the only credible mobile OS. He oversaw Vista, he oversaw 8, both of which were complete disasters.

Perhaps look in the mirror.

More like Jackson Pollock painting with the medium of feces

I used to have a lumber mill and now I work at KFC, look what the demonrats did to me, I’m voting red!

Having worked in social services, I can tell you that women’s bathrooms are grotesquely worse than men’s. By a degree that is almost incomprehensible to the untrained.

I’m in agreement. Science tells us more and more that there is no safe amount of booze. I work in addiction services, and I’ve noticed that doctors won’t even prescribe benzos anymore unless it’s for acute withdrawal treatment, typically with a rapid 3-5 day taper. Because they’re mother’s little helpers - booze in pill form.

I also think the true underlying reason for less alcohol use isn’t a virtuous one. It’s that there’s just better mood alteration out there now with far fewer deleterious effects. I’m dating myself a bit, but when I look at how much pharmacological knowledge the average 20 year old has now, it takes me back to my youth when simply going to the library to get a book with information about psychoactive drugs was nearly impossible. And now looking back with actual science, I can see most of what I was able to research back then was tenuous at best, and outright fabrications at worst.

So I think people are engaging in mood alteration more now than ever before. We’ve just moved on from yeast poop mind-fucks.

When I was fat as fuck I used to eat McD’s breakfast. They had the breakfast sanwiches for like $1 and one day I ordered two English muffins only. They tried to charge me like $6 explaining that the “special” price was only for the sandwich.

So fine, I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches with no butter, no cheese, no meat. They wanted to argue “that’s not how it works” to which my reply was “oh yes it is, now here’s my $2”.

I have a lifetime boycott of all things Ubisoft for this very reason. I bought game after game after game from the late 90’s until early 2000’s. 100% of them were legal purchases and with the CD in the drive… "please insert CD " error

Then I became the lead developer for gameloft.com and saw how completely incompetent the French leadership of the company is. Absolute morons to the highest levels.

Never another penny shall be conveyed to Ubi from my holdings.

edit: You wanna know what I’m talking about? Ok. They import the director from France. He does not speak English, he does not speak Quebecois, which is very different than Parisian French. He has no knowledge of the games industry whatsoever, but is a cherished family friend. He cannot communicate with anybody in written or verbal ways. He shows up for work at 10am and takes 2 hour coffee with other “leadership” and then lunch. Then he comes back from a 2 hour lunch, and him and come C-Level turnip laugh at his Billy Bass for 30 minutes. I am not making any of this up. This man installs a friend he met into the position of Executive Producer. The man’s previous experience was managing an Esso gas station. No embellishment. So I’m the Sr dev and I’m the fucking acting director, account manager, game designer, executive producer, producer, technical producer, project manager, director of production, developer, creative director, QA lead, every god damned thing just to get some corny-ass games produced.

edit2: Laughing at a Billy Bass. A Billy. Bass. Singing. Fish. Laughing at it uproariously.

How do people who are grotesquely underqualified and constitutionally incapable of performing well, end up with great jobs?

I cook everything from scratch and I eat a ridiculous amount of fruit and vegetables.

I’m just saying, I know my body, and it seems to get really upset when I don’t give it animal meat. I have tried to transition to chickpeas and all different kinds of protein sources, hemp, my body just knows what it wants.

And really, 150 g of meat? Explosive diarrhea? You don’t need to exaggerate so much LOL

In regards to alcohol consumption, I’m glad you raised that. I’m also glad it’s going away.

I kind of follow these things a little bit, a bit of a nerd in this regard lol

I’m 51, and now I’m 10 years sober, so I have a longer view, and I have my own multiple viewpoints now that I’ve gone from a drunk to a sober dude.

I have definitely noticed a massive shift in attitudes from the younger generations now, compared to when I was young.

It seems the generation just reaching legal age now has almost no interest in alcohol whereas when I was young, drinking was almost a given. It was just what we did at every opportunity and all the socializing happened on Thursdays and Friday nights where we get mutually blasted at various locales.

And our federal government here in Canada has finally clued-in how hopeless it is to generate revenue with alcohol sales and taxation. They ran a study called the Canada Alcohol Deficit which showed that when you factor in all the social ills of alcohol consumption, we lose money on it by like billions. I can’t link it because I’m fooling around with mobile, but it’s an easy search.

But I think that attitude is across all the generations now, even the people who were hard drinkers in my group are not really interested as much. Our provincial government saw a precipitous drop of alcohol sales, and panicked and expanded sales across our province in so many ways.

So yeah I think it’s on the way out the door for good soon. People don’t want to anymore when there’s better and less destructive mood-alteration, and the government has seen the futility of booze.

I tried to go completely vegetarian but my body just goes on revolt. So I limit myself to around 150 g per day. But I would be down with eating lab grown meat. I mean, it’s just chains of amino acids turned into proteins right. Making that has to be an order of magnitude less footprint than growing and harvesting cattle.
