  1. Gen Xer who was raised believing that God wouldn't let man destroy the earth unless Jesus raptured all us believers and who cares then because heaven was going to be awesome! So I didn't worry about nuclear war because that would be silly.
  2. I am obviously very behind the times. I'm sorry to read of his passing, he was a nice poster.
  3. I should have read the thread quicker, sorry. Yeah explained here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-qanon-became-obsessed-with-adrenochrome-an-imaginary-drug-hollywood-is-harvesting-from-kids Not just Hunter. Monster's inc as well. And yeah, it was pretty obvious Hunter was making that stuff up. But then these people believe things like this: Hunter lives....
  4. I'm pretty out of the loop. Did they really watch (I know they didn't read the book) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and come up with a conspiracy theory based off of it?
  5. Wound up getting this and putting away the apple watch.
  6. Somewhat this. I am over 50, but have been in the IT/tech world for a long...well I'm over 50. I'm also pretty convinced social media and our slot machine phones are the devil. Battling it with my kids these days. The addictive nature of all this shit is unreal. Now to browse surly while being a hypocrite.
  7. As a gen Xer it certainly feels that at one point in my life this open bribery would have had repercussions. Maybe I'm naive, and maybe I'm mis-remembering my younger years. But that this corruption is out in the open and there is no real outrage over it is amazing but at the same time now feels depressingly normal. Perhaps this is the gaslighting effect on us all? Given the so-called highest court in the land status, you would think that said court being so openly and brazenly corrupt would bring a civlized country to a halt until something was done.
  8. Had a big long rant all queued up, but I'm deciding I'll go with the everything's broken and it isn't going to get fixed response. The effective crushing of the middle continues. I do wonder if in my lifetime we see the eventual end run of all this and whether it leads to rebellion or a fully subservient near slave class. Or if any of that matters because we all burn up by then.
  9. What gets me is being charged a cleaning fee but being told to do laundry, dishes, e.t.c. I used to enjoy Airbnbs as at one point in time they were seemingly more affordable or the same price as chain hotel stays. And with a young family having a place with no shared walls was nice. Now I am back to mostly hotels as the pricing seems more up front and generally a lot more affordable. And I believe I read once that many Airbnbs are actually owned by corporations anyway. Edit: they are certainly not collapsing where I live, but tourism is a key industry here.
  10. Apple Watch series 4. Fitness tracking, and I use the timer function quite a bit (making coffee, pizza, e.t.c.). Cellular function has come in handy and often use Apple Pay with it as well. All of that said there are days I want to disconnect completely so I have been looking at some Seiko 5s and g-shocks.
  11. Al that burning up is going to make you hate, kid?
  12. https://www.msnbc.com/the-beat-with-ari/watch/trump-s-tv-confessions-pave-path-to-prison-jack-smith-sends-trump-his-own-interviews-in-new-filing-184190021804 I'm in the he'll never be in prison crowd, but his own interviews being used as evidence against him is delicious.
  13. I have no idea why i can't get that formatting correct. Sorry, but yeah, get off Twitter, really.
  14. Elon Musk Decrees That Twitter Will Consider “Cisgender” a Slur https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/elon-musk-decrees-twitter-consider-165204527.html
  15. This one was mentioned earlier in the thread. Some more details. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/seattle-couple-identified-as-2-killed-in-gorge-amphitheatre-shooting/
  16. I'm wondering if they got the plans for this thing by answering one of those ads in the back of Popular Science.
  17. I remembered the story about Greta Van uh, T blasting him on Twitter and him getting busted. But it took some time to recall. Then I completely forgot who he was again, and still don't quite understand how he has a following at all. I guess being out of touch and old isn't always a bad thing.
  18. If I'm missing the joke I apologize, but it really isn't.
  19. clicked the youtube link. they were navigating via text message? no gracias.
  20. https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14dkqrw/i_want_to_debunk_reddits_claims_and_talk_about/
  21. As you know I left in 2019 for Oregon. And no, not going to post my weather forecast. But my last few years in ATX I enjoyed visiting this place in Wimberly: https://www.cityofwimberley.com/202/Blue-Hole-Regional-Park
