Tablets... in use at 2nd grade...

Damn. I know whether to call you a baby or call myself a geezer anymore.

The Internet itself didn't even become widely available until I was in 4th grade or so. Windows 95 was only a year old when I got my very first access to any computing device beyond a very simple calculator.

Being "online" wasn't a permanent status, it only applies for as long as you were allowed to tie up a phone line.

I could say more, but you've heard a bunch of back in my days already probably.

I got used to looking for registry tweaks, but I don't even know what to call it exactly.

The closest I've got is: A place for accessing hidden settings in Windows. I've made a couple typos in there and nuked an install or two of XP, but I never really changed much personally. Just kinda looked up various ways people would use it to accomplish x, y, or z, out of curiosity.

I don't have to deal with it anymore at least.

As to the "way it's supposed to be" part...

That should be obvious. Their oh-so-important Bible is all about how to trample women to be used as steps for men to climb up on.

All that stuff in church about "women shouldn't teach in church" all the way up to the ones that like the part about "women just shutting the entire fuck up" in church kinda sets the time for these women.

And on top of that they're told not to question it or rebel against it for any reason on pain of getting shot from a cannon straight to super hell.

So yeah, that part is ingrained for sure.


I do think at least some of the problem we face voting-wise are these people that are super-insulated and super-ignorant. For example, my own parents. I don't have much clue how big this specific thing is, but I know from them (and the people that I used to associate with due to being raised around them) that if you can ever get them into a discussion about it, that they won't have a defense for anything at all. They will just quote Fox News at anything. But even if you do manage to finally show enough evidence to make your point, even if you get past everything else...

Then, you will finally find out that they are single issue voters the whole time, and will do whatever mental gymnastics needed to prove that their side isn't just literal Nazis.

But really it's been focused down to one point for them, and one point only. And what is that point? Abortion. A very narrow, very near sighted version of abortion.

They really do think it's literally "killing babies", and any effort to support that at all is automatically devil work, so there's nothing else to really consider here. They don't even care about all the women who die from pregnancy-related problems. Those are just soldiers dying in the war to protect babies. Even now you can tell they don't really like the fact that they begrudgingly accept exceptions for things like ectopic situations, it clear black and white about-or-die situations. They're totally fine with pregnant women dying. As long as it's not just the fertilized cell clump that they call a human life. That mother should die with it in their view. Their job is to multiply and if they can't, they should go down with the ship.

This is at least somewhat abated in popular opinion now, but I would guess that's just a compromise they'll take to stop all the demons from killing as many as possible.

Anyway I've gotta get off this rant because I can feel my blood pressure going up, but to summarize:

Conservative women are taught to love the boot stepping on them. They're kinda in a brainwash situation I think, but they make it so much worse for themselves, and at some point I can't feel bad for them anymore.

Not sure if joke or if you're bad at math.

The abandoning of the rhythm is such a cat thing to do.

I mean he SHOULD kill himself on live TV. Give the people some good news while doing your actual best to be beneficial to the world.

Just wait until 2052 and someone makes a skibidi meme.

I love this show, and I'm not old.

6 every time.

Also fuck 7, those butcher broke so easily.

I had one similar to (not literally exactly) 6 back in high school, and some really dumb jock took it from me and I've wanted it back ever since.

The Bic one is okay, but pushing directly on the eraser to push the lead out isn't ideal. I always thought that was a design flaw. Having the button on the side of the pencil but away from the index finger is ideal honestly.

And even though we're not deciding based on lead size for this, I prefer the finer.5 to the more common .7.

Plus the top has a pretty large eraser that you can twist to expose more, so it had a mechanical refillable eraser too, which was pretty cool.

And I got mine in my favorite color, and that fucked just took it.

I was a super sheltered kid, coming fresh off being completely homeschooled (except for a Christian kindergarten), and that year of school was my first social contact with other people outside grocery stores and church. So I didn't do much about it, as I didn't have a clue about how anything in real life worked. I wouldn't figure a lot of it out for still another 16 years, but that's a different story.

Also at this point I haven't actually written anything at all with a pencil, pen, or marker for.... 15ish years now? Outside of signing my name anyway.

I think a lot of concerts would be amazing with acid.

I'm not very familiar with PF, or familiar at all with their personal history. I'm actually assuming Syd is a member. I don't even know that. I've only listened to 2 of their albums (and while tripping)

But if this is a particular legendary one, it'd definitely be worth it.
