  • I went to St Louis the day before the eclipse in 2017. It was a spur of the moment decision, literally decided to go that morning. My friend suggested we spend the night in a Walmart parking lot and the nearest one was on the other side of the river.

    Driving through the area in the morning, I wondered how we survived the night. Holy shit. Half the city is abandoned, there’s guys with AKs sitting in their porches, and the only other businesses were gun stores and pawn shops.



  • We have ground wasps here, one of the types that we call yellow jackets. Take a step in the wrong spot and you will be swarmed. They’re tiny little tenacious stingy bastards that, I swear to god, keep stinging past death. My mom once stepped on a hive, got swarmed, and ran inside. Our dog was curious, she also got swarmed and went inside. I was on my computer, headphones on, and I hear howling, from both Mom and dog. I ran out thinking they were being murdered. My mom was trying to brush them off her clothes but they just clung on, so I just started smacking her. The dog ate at least one. Then they attacked me and I got stung all over my arms and head, including in my ear. I almost passed out from the pain. My poor dog had a swollen nose and a new fear. My mom was in so much pain we almost took her to the hospital. My ear hurt for days.

    I murdered those bastards with prejudice. And chemicals. And then fire. Nobody attacks my mother. Or my dogs.



  • Another reason why Linux fanboys are so silly.

    It’s just whether you grew up / are more comfortable using Windows or Mac.

    I grew up on Mac OS. My first laptop was the classic translucent blue clamshell iBook running OS X Cheetah. So when I first tried Linux, I used Gnome.

    I switched to Windows when I got into gaming. But then when I got a Steam Deck, I decided to finally make the change. So now I’m much more comfortable using KDE.

    QED.
