Makes sense, especially in this economy
- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 3 days ago:
In my twenties, I was a teacher. In my thirties, I said fuck that. System is so fucked.
In my state, there was a state level exam to qualify to become a teacher. I don’t know what Oklahoma’s is or what it looks like. What I do know is that it was as hard as the written portion of a drivers test.
Some people speedrun it. I had to take it twice because the phasing always gets me confused. But, it wasn’t difficult at all.

And it’ll be ashame to do it in small conservative towns.

Your welcome! Enjoy your styrofoam cup coffee from a deli that smells of Malboro cigarettes. The sugar has weird moving black things and milk has been left out for 3 days.
- Comment on As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused to show ID without explanation or cause. 5 days ago:
They said the same thing in my city.
And surprise surprise, violent crime actually went down.

This is it honestly. When people slow down police/ICE, it creates a distraction.
When they’re arresting grandmas and choking old people, causing a scene changes their focus and lets those people leave unharmed.

I remember HS history was incredibly neutered. It was still America is Heroes. There were small cracks, like Japanese internment camps. Or the Trail of Tears. But they had a single paragraph or two. I remember reading about the Vietnam war and how people “feel” about it.
Only during college did I read about real history. Things like our meddling in the Philippines. Our meddling in South America. Our meddling in Southeast Asia after WW2.
The worse is that the text books are owned by conservatives, so expect even more neutering/white washing.

As I kid, I distinctly remember protesting (two separate decades) to stop the middle east invasion. I remember even when it was announced, it was deeply unpopular.
And here we are again.

Pretty sure that is already a Harry Potter character.

This has Nathan Fielder energy and it’s great
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 1 week ago:
Yeah but before, we could eat BBQ and blow off fireworks and pretend like America is going to fix itself.
Literally nobody I know is doing a cook out.
We have some scheduled on July 12th.

Zop.

Johnathan Blow comes to mind.
Peter Molyneux is still top tier delusional, and has a lot of incredible popcorn material.
I don’t know the drama completely, but the Star Citizen folks. Don’t have any names to rattle off.
- Comment on Dave the Diver director addresses controversial “Best Indie Game” nomination from 2023. “There’s nothing indie about us, we didn’t apply for it” 1 week ago:
I hate that you were down voted but you are absolutely correct.
There’s no agreed definition of indie.
Back when I worked marketing and would attend GDC conferences, there were awards for “Indies” that had 30 people teams financed by major companies, competing against 1-2 people teams who took a loan against their house.
It’s stupid and frustrating.
And now, with Dave the Diver, it’s just highlighting the truth - Its always been a vibe, a aesthetic. You just have to make it look indie, and call it that.
Whatever definition you hold personally doesn’t matter.

Yep. Nobody cares. Having been to nude beaches, nobody really cares.
The small fraction of people who do judge are reflecting their own insecurities.
- Comment on You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car 5 weeks ago:
I remember buying a Sony mp3 CD player with 5-second skip delay for $80.
Everyone was still using regular CD players with their 80 minutes of audio, carefully holding their precious device.
While I was living like a god, playing over twenty hours of music, dropping my player over and over, without losing a beat.

You’re never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.
Ham radios are awesome though and that’s less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.

Wait, BDSM is a group event?
I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
30yo kind of have their lives together.
Have a coffee. Just chat like people. Expand your network. The worse that can happen is you shut it down.
From my own perspective, there will be a generational gap. I’m 40, and I can connect with someone around that age. But lower than 30 or older than 45, the connection is platonic.

Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people’s accounts.
Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn’t like you, say you sold “Fuck PayPal stickers”, they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.
- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 1 month ago:
The worst part, the demo was actually pretty good.
They literally could have released this game with mod support, and sold it for $20 and it would have been a fun party game.
Instead, they kept going on with BS games as a service.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 month ago:
This is it.
My wife comes home and fires on all cylinders about her day. Then I share how much my one coworker sucks and what they did today.
Then we wonder about the heat death of the universe.

Do you… Like stuff?
