I don’t know. Some people who experience abuse and escape it become far worse abusers when they’re in position to do so.

I used power delete suite last year. Just checked and most of my profile is back. Assholes.

Send the scam a hundred bucks, lose it, sue Google for fraudulent endorsement.

(Yes yes, this wouldn’t work in the real world against Google’s legions of lawyers, but I like the thought exercise)

We’re headed for global serfdom, aren’t we?

By tenth grade I had been commissioned to write some software. When I completed it, I walked away from all of it because of the social stigma. Didn’t touch a computer again for ten years. I won’t say I regret that because walking away led me to other life adventures, but I will say I regret the circumstances that drove me to do it.

I had to go look up when those things came out (1977) because by the time I got my hands on one in 1982 in the school library they were already little more than toys even when compared to the luxurious Vic 20.

I know we played some games off cassettes on them. I feel like Oregon trail was one of those games, but I’m suspicious of my own memory because I know I was playing that on my Apple 2, which I think had joystick driven hunting on it.

God I’m getting old and can’t remember the finer points anymore.

I do remember that other kids bullied the HELL out of me for carrying one of those plastic boxes full of floppies with me at school. Not a good time to be a nerd back then.

Where’s the next Kent State? The weapons and armor are much bigger this time.

Maybe you could just enjoy a nice game of Scrabble instead.

I haven’t followed Korean politics since the nineties, so I can offer no opinion on that assertion. I can most certainly see somebody with those characteristics ascending to the Korean presidency though. I’ve no reason to doubt you.

Ah, the ole Ronnie Reagan approach!

If caffeine is considered a serious drug in my lifetime, I hope I’ve got a good cellmate because I’m going away forever.

It really feels like all corporations do this.

Then the failed CEO gets another CEO gig because they’ve got “experience”.

I did not wake up this morning planning on watching a thirty seven minute video, but I watched all of it.

Perhaps with some irony or coincidence or whatever, I lived in South Korea for a few years in the nineties and dreamt that I was back there before I woke up this morning.

Cancelled prime. Downloaded freevee since most stuff on prime was already ad driven freevee.

No noticeable change except a fatter wallet.

I have enough 7-11 points to buy out several franchise locations, but I can’t use them.

I made the account with Facebook, then later deleted Facebook. Since I don’t have a Facebook to log in to the app to redeem points, I can’t redeem them at all.

I contacted corporate about this, and they say there’s nothing I can do.

The fun part is that my still valid email was connected to the now defunct Facebook, so I can’t use my email either. Not even to make a new account.

Same deal with my phone number.

So if I ever want a free shitty taquito, I basically need an entirely new Identity.

Man, my freshman year of college, in California of all places, we had cigarette vending machines in our freshman dorm. The only smoking policy in your dorm room was that your roommate had to be cool with it. Zero designated non-smoking rooms. There was a smoking section inside the cafeteria. You couldn’t smoke during class, but the professors could smoke in their offices and we had a coffee bar in the building that was one huge cloud.

How things have changed, eh?
