You think this is bad? I was 10. I was taken from my parents by social services because they allowed me to play video games. The NEXT. DAMN. DAY. After crying myself to sleep, 9/11 happens.

Now tell me I shouldn't be this fucked up.

To me, 9/11 was personal. I hated everyone involved for years, including people in the Bush administration and the man himself because I believed they had been in on it, as if they had done this just to ruin my life because I cannot stand being collateral damage for an attack against a country I don't even live in.

Now I don't even try to justify it. I just know that I want you all to hurt for making the 00s about McBling bullshit, making the 10s the decade you LET THAT FUCKER TRUMP LITERALLY GET AWAY WITH VOTER FRAUD, and worst of all you have learned NOTHING from CoViD and still act like you shouldn't be forming an angry mob to demand Trump be stripped of citizenship or fuck any and all laws as you burn everything to the ground until it happens because he WASN'T EVEN ELECTED. HE. CHEATED. HE ADMITTED HE CHEATED AND DOESN'T FUCKING CARE. HE SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT WAS THREATENED ON JANUARY 6TH BECAUSE HE SHOULDN'T AND NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE TO RUN FROM HIS SHEER FUCKING ARROGANCE.

I hate all of you because I am a minority of one and democracy is no longer real in the first place. Suffer.

Wait, is this worth elaboration or am I better off not asking?

Oof, that guy's probably ended up with a kiwiFarms thread.

If he lost a kid who liked that show, that certainly would explain it. His story sounds so sad, if true, I can't imagine what that would be like...

Is he an Ancient Greek time traveller or something? I swear, that would make for a kickass movie. "You all know the guy. Or girl. That one person in your town, or one of those people if it's a city, in the impossible urban legend. They're weird, possibly nice, possibly just creepy, probably mentally damaged." montage of the other examples "This is ours. We called him the artist. Pretty mild, he just sat in coffee shops and watched people walk by. One day, though, our perception of him would change. Not just in this town, but in this timeline. This... is what happens When Worlds Divide."

That and humans in general are all crazy in some way. "Normal" is a standard we can try to achieve, but it's neither realistic nor ideal. At some point a person is sane enough that you have to say "why criticize someone for being themselves?" instead of questioning or distrusting it.

Aww... I'm glad there are people like him, those kittens were probably doomed otherwise unless there was a local animal shelter and even then finding homes for animals tends to be difficult.

Certainly a better king than most!

Indeed. Personally, I've gone completely paperless just to avoid printers entirely. I can't afford a printer at all when most are temporary at best, and Brother is outside of my price range when I never need physical papers in the first place.

My dad has a Brother printer though, so can confirm they're somewhat better. Unfortunately, my dad owns a years-old iMac, so he has to not have the most recent available OS version or there won't be any working drivers; Macs have apparently become infamous for not supporting printers after even the most necessary of system updates, so his computer remains a huge security risk just so his printer works.

The whitepill, "be yourself, even when it hurts because people expect you to conform", isn't sexy but it is the truth.

Not a great screenshot, but it shows what can be done with a JGRPP eyecandy server. I'll try to do better in the future.

Not sure, but I think the WiFi on it was defective or something because I had ridiculous amounts of trouble setting up smarthome devices on that phone. After several DAYS of it, I lost my temper. The 20g forces are a wild guess but the phone was unsalvageable.

Keep in mind I bought that Pixel 7 Pro on eBay.

I wish they'd consider Fediverse integration, but other than that the site looks like it has a promising future!

Wait, when I said game in quotes ("game") I was referring to politics and Big Tech's biggest players. Sorry about that, when it comes to actual video games I was not trying to demand particular content, just a movement away from grimdark.

To be fair, my OneXFly is a "third device" for me, I use a cheap laptop to write (yes, I write sci-fi) and the gaming rig has been a string of rigs since 2012 but I sold my share of a Steam Deck to my younger brother and my Rog Ally was supposed to replace it until two of them died on me (fortunately under warranty), so I've only owned a gamerdeck of any sort for the past 18 or so months.
