So we suiciding or what? Only slightly kidding.

My b-hole winked when I read this.
Be careful around popcorn kernels when you’ve got an old filling.
…but rather a malevolent whisper from the abyss. It beckoned me toward an abyssal abyss…
This is poetry.
I can’t decipher what the original story was.
Hadn’t heard of this but stoked to try it out!
I don’t know what to do. I’m in my 40s, making good money, but I can’t stay here. Worried that I’ll leave for another hellscape. Don’t trust my own judgement anymore.
Kind of want to start my own thing but that’s a whole other level of scary.
742 days. I hate this new job way more than my old one. :-(
This is the answer. Confirmed.

Bought the house when we had one kid. Now we have four. It’s too small for us to live in right now. That said, we’re thinking when our older kids move out we’ll move back in to our first house. The mortgage is certainly cheaper.
After leaving that house we moved twice (into larger homes… my in-laws moved in with us at one point). We bought both times. We rent our residence now for a couple of reasons: COVID fucked up my finances from a few angles and we couldn’t get lending this time. And we’ve got 3 kids moving out in the next 3 years or less. So we’re kind of in a transition period anyway.
So I guess I’m a landlord. We have a house that we rent. Bought it in 2007 using this cool thing called a sub prime mortgage. So we were sorta forced to hold on to the house and rent it.
Fast forward 15 years and I’m now renting the house I live in from a landlord. It’s made me realize that we’re good landlords. My dishwasher has been broken for two months collecting mold while its replacement has sat in my living room waiting to be installed.
Our own tenants have mostly been cool but I wish the guy we cut a break with (few months for free when he lost his job during covid) hadn’t grown weed in the garage and damaged some floors.
Other than that one guy, I don’t expect anybody to thank me.
I just want to say that India’s Thumbs Up cola (a Pepsi brand) is the tits. Cardamom belongs in cola. I would have never guessed.
IRC and playing Warcraft “online” by dialing my friend’s house. One time we messed with a telnet client. That was neat.
You guys remember pMachine (evolved into ExpressionEngine)? That shit blew my mind when I got it installed. No more Adobe Pagemaker.
I scored a nice pair of Johnston Murphy’s at the thrift store well over a decade ago. Have worn them daily since then. I polish them a couple of times a year but otherwise am pretty hard on them. The sheepskin insoles wore out a couple of years ago so I sent them an email and they shipped me a new set along with some laces for free. Customer for life now. (Even though I’ve never actually spent anything other than $5 at the thrift store)
2600 damn that’s a throwback. Kevin is free indeed :(
You hear the album Determination by Ace Waters and RichardBB? Metal undertale covers.
I really enjoy the Wisecrack YouTube channel for my philosophy phix.
