You are so incredibly strange. I daren’t say fascinating, but something below that, mixed with dusty banality.

When the purchasing power of the dollar depreciates because of the direct impact of tariffs…the tariffs are affecting you. I don’t think you’re ready for an economics lesson, but just know that even when you buy something that wasn’t taxed, you’re still getting fucked. And this is all because one buffoon is choosing for it to happen.

He’s desperate. Also this will never happen.

My commute is much shorter to work, so I don’t need to entertain myself in the car as much. I do still love singing.

Nothing can convince Galactus to stop. He is entropy personified. There is nothing that can stop entropy, save the hope that the universe is cyclical and the Big Crunch theory is correct, and not heat death, which currently seems most likely. Dick pics?

That it does, that it does.

You were going to post really autistically about roads and geography and then post about how rivers are kind of like natures roads, but water. And then more stuff about rainfall, and then about how much an advantage in population numbers countries that produced rice have over countries that produced wheat, historically. Oh wait that’s me, and that’s not posting, that’s just shit my long-suffering wife has to hear me talk about. You were going to post about artisan cheese.

My wife says I’ve gotten more serious/cranky, I can definitely attest to the latter. I’m trying not to be, but can’t the possibility be that everything sucks more now?

I had no idea! I’ve got the boy to be a Dragon Ball lover through Daima.

Luckily I’ve always been introverted and it hasn’t shifted in any meaningful way. I think going insular is pretty common as we age, so that’s been easy.

A lot of us are or are nearly pushing middle age (some of us, beyond!). Tell me something that’s changed about you. Mentally, physically, emotionally, good, bad, inbeteeen? I’ll start with a positive. I enjoy being outdoors, and especially going on long walks. I’ve always been an indoor-kid “gamer”, also VERY ginger, so it’s been a significant change.

My PC is 12 years old so I barely use it anymore. It’s phone or Steam Deck at this point.

Did you watch DBZ? That was an astute observation.

Even the chocolate beam failed when Vegito started wrecking Buu as a piece of chocolate. And yeah, I don’t like the Buu arc other than the fan favorite parts (Gotenks, Vegito, Ultimate Gohan).

DBZA has almost rewritten the events of the show for me. The details are bleeding together.

That stuff was technically filler that didn’t happen in the manga, so I could say “not cannon”, but that did look badass when he stood in space and casually destroyed a planet. So are there any other S tier abilities in your opinion? Obviously instant transmission, and the destructo disc was great until Cell made it obsolete (also technically manga only).

In Dragon Ball Z, the solar flare technique ALWAYS WORKED. Any time someone used it, even villains (Cell), it was always effective in escapes or tactics and it never failed. Every other technique (save the “instant transmission”) was shown to fail or be ineffective at some point. Even the spirit bomb! That never worked (mostly)! So was it a trump card or was it the most OP thing in Dragon Ball?

From this past week, we had an amazing vacation

As far as we know, life is the most rare and precious thing in the universe. Our anthropocentrism could and possibly is hubristic, but we haven’t been proven wrong yet, so in the parlance of our time, let’s fucking go.

Quarterback season 2 is out on Netflix and I’m accidentally falling in love with Kirk again. It’s his flagrant whiteness. I now know he lives in Alpharetta and I’m positive I can find the Cookout he eats at. I can’t quit him.

Not a selfie, but here’s a pic of me “watching” The Substance at my friend’s place

The graphics are fucking unreal. I like walking and exploring a lot IRL so a walking simulator that’s weird and wacky is my jam. I don’t even mind Kojima’s weird bullshit

Working and then going to the beach the next day. I’ve aged out of going to fireworks shows. I live very close to a large Atlanta lake that they do a good fireworks show, and I’m so happy my daughter and grandson can go to it. I can’t stand the heat and the unwashed masses anymore.

Whoops yeah, I forgot Street Fighter 2 and 3. I might have 10 or more versions across so many systems plus, as you said, various collections.

Are you ready to return to the Beach? I played it some at my best fucking friend forever’s house, and now I think I need a PlayStation 5. I loooooooved the first game. Anyone here playing it yet?
