Childhood happiness was centered around Christmas, or maybe a family trip to a place like Disneyland. I was generally happy as a kid, except for the times dealing with school bullies. Nothing in my childhood compared to the absolute giddiness of seeing my wife in her wedding dress for that first look, nor the pure joy of realizing for the first time just how much I love my children.

This is how they had to dress. Even the cashiers and cooks had to be business casual. And they had to buy the uniforms out of their wages.

Today they wouldn’t be able to afford to, but that’s what stagnant minimum wage and soaring corporate profits has gotten us.

Sketchers as a daily shoe lasts me about 4 months. I like the fit and comfort, but their durability is terrible. Sometimes it’s the outer parts just coming unglued, many times it’s the padding inside wearing through despite my thick socks.

In this economy they were probably just being contrarian to get another free meal and some more pocket change.

Dammit I was thinking of Iwata and didn’t check my tired thoughts and just dropped the most famous Nintendo name my brain came up with. Apologies.

When Miamoto Iwata died, Nintendo just had to stay the course. They were never dominant, but they were ubiquitous and everyone enjoyed their products. Now the new guys don’t even play games, and the switch 2 price point is ridiculous, and they never fixed the issue with the joy con sticks, and prices never drop like they used to. You can’t count on new leadership being capable of continuing success, even when all they have to do is keep things on the exact same course.

As written the bureaucrat would be useful in preventing stalemate, which isn’t accurate since bureaucrats cause stalemates.

It’ll be when they cave to ID verification to access the porn. Whoever doesn’t jump ship then will then do so once the porn gets banned completely.

Either way, where the porn goes, so goes the traffic. VHS, DVD, the internet/streaming. All major shifts in traffic were porn related.
