I actually still mess with diskettes on a fairly frequent basis, but it’s more of a hobby thing than a serious use thing

I think I’m a Marxist-Kirkjohnist.

Yeah I’ve just kind of felt like shit for one reason or another for most of my life to this point. The 2000s sucked

Am I gonna have to pay for a vpn that actually lets me fake being outside the ‘states? I usually self host on a VM host to avoid incurring expenses, but it seems like that’s not really an option here. Seems like I might have to go for a AWS instance running PiVPN or something.

In terms of geography, My secret weakness is how often I confuse Slovenia and Slovakia, solely because they share most of the letters in their name.

(I also have a similar problem with Armenia and Albania. Within the US, Mississippi and Missouri used to give me a lot of trouble when I was younger, too.)

I’ve never liked taking the whole “The west” thing seriously. Predominantly associate referring to “The west” and “western culture” as something wignats and conservatives do, and that kinda tints every other contexts where the phrase/concept comes up.

Arcade games 2: but now every game is Double Dragon III

The Simpsons: Hit and Run had a similar gag in one of the maps.

Napster mindset

yes actually

I almost swear I could go digging in my closet and find the comically oversized Osiris skate shoes I had in high school in 2010

Mad God was my favorite movie of 2021. Part because it’s the only movie of 2021 i’ve watched, and part because i’ve watched it five times and i think about it constantly

A notable victim of the “keep milking the cash cow forever” mindset. Not many movies have the luxury of doing what they need to well then fucking off within two entries.

Me pulping a radio dj’s head in New Mexico in the '50s so I can read a creepy poem on the mic

My main takeaway from philosophy is that I hate philosophy and mostly just want to wing it. So much hair splitting

I like the stuff that’s about people in the shit. Two Cigarettes in The Ashtray, and all that. I’m a big Horton Heat fan, so it makes sense that their stylistic forebears would appeal to me too.
