No. I just got tired of dealing with virtual machines. I would've hoped that Wine by now would've allowed and accepted more 16-bit applications than just stopping at 32-bit.

Would you know if this works for 16-bit games? Like, I'd love to play the Hasbro cereal box games again. Yahtzee, Wheel of Fortune and all them. If so, that alone may just get me to join Linux Mint.

I don't care what political affiliation it was to be or whatever.

It's still all brain-drain to me.

Can't say I'm sympathetic to anyone who uses TikTok, that platform has been a vacuum of people's intelligence and attention span for years. You reap what you sow.

I've seen an awful lot of bodycam videos to agree. I feel bad for the ones that have to shoot somebody. I've even seen some bodycam footage where cops do breakdown after shooting someone. They're really wishing things never had to go that way, but did because some very crazy people do crazy things or decide to suicide by cop.

I have seen some people in some of my jobs where they desired to be in middle-management, to swear that they wouldn't be the uptight asshole boss to everyone. The sad reality is, is that management wants to train you to be an unreasonable hardass on people. If they feel you're too lax, then you're not going to make it. Which is fucking telling of itself with why management of all levels is so hated.

Any governmental position really. It all sounds incredibly unstable with all of the news with federal wages and benefits. Unless you're an actual politician, life as federal worker must be incredibly stressful.

Took Intel way too long to finally discontinue that shitty Celeron line.

If you're communicative with your landlord and ask about some things, usually they will let some things slide provided you help patch up things you might have drilled a hole into a wall for before you leave.

The problem is just doing it anyways and expecting it to be okay.

Look at this guy here, thinking we're in pre-2008 times.

“You’re going to lose the House, you’re going to lose the Senate, you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.”

And maybe, just maybe this time, Republicans who are getting soured on by what Trump is doing, may not protect him. McConnell will not be there this time to protect Trump.

 

Truck Driving for me. It'll feel cool for probably a half-hour for me, to be driving something big. Until my worry of having to meet things in timely manners start kicking in and my anxiety to make sure information going all directions are right enough for easy deliveries.

Not to mention, how stupid easy it probably is for a eighteen wheeler truck to topple over in bad weather.

 

RUBs - This is a bullshit system to be added to your rent with. This is basically saying "on top of what you're paying to use, you're to pay what EVERYONE else in the building uses!" even if it's divided up. I get fucked over every winter for example, because I use electric heaters in my apartment and nothing gas-related. I'm still smacked with $48 ~ $62 of usage, despite that. This raises my rent up and makes it variable.

No-Bite Management - Management who lets nearly everything go, despite them trying to sound strict. You may be in a bit of a rivalry with a neighbor who likes slamming things or having loud music, obviously breaking lease agreement, who makes you wonder why they've gotten away with it as long as they have. You record, you report but management does next to nothing. They tell you to your face that the only way they can move forward, is a police report. Now that kind of thing should be reserved for more escalated and involved cases, not something management could deal with when they were the ones who made up the terms of the lease agreement.

Pets - From experience, people are AWFUL with their pets. Mostly dogs, I've never seen anything go wrong with cats, unless the owners don't care enough to let them run around until they're kidnapped or ran over. But dogs, they just let them go and go with the barking. Not to mention the dog shit on the ground they refuse to pick up.

 

My SIRIUSXM subscription expired 3 days ago and I used that app to listen to comedy clips like from Bill Burr, Louis CK and others. It was a way for me on both my way to work and back from work, to relax and decompress some.

However, I'm not interested in going back to Sirius, at least not for a while. I get many e-mails from them to take advantage of a $5 for 1 year deals and that's going to wait. What I'd like to know, is if there's any app or station I can download, that has comedy stations and would work on Android Auto.

Because I've tried a couple times to download comedy stations I'd think would work through Android Auto, but their icons don't show up even when the app is loaded up.

Any ideas?

 

Example: O.J Simpson

He was a symbol of where the 90s were and how big his court case was at the time. Not that he should garner sympathy because we all know he did it and he only got off on technicality as well as theater performed by his council. But we all know where we were when that was all happening.

 

I'm getting quite strained from the sentiment I'm gathering from people who possess a level of cynicism to where, they believe all Americans deserve what's happening and been happening. I don't agree with that.

There are 75 million Americans, who tried, really tried to get out there and prevent what was to come. We just didn't expect to be outnumbered by two million more people. But I think it's unfair to say that those 75 million americans who tried to prevent the floodgates from opening, deserve this. Because they don't.

There are other countries out in the world right now, who have just as bad leadership if not worse. Should we just assume the people there deserve it? No. Because there are probably people who are likely against their corrupt leaders. America is no different in that field.

We will try again come mid-terms, provided there are mid-terms. Hopefully the 77 million americans who did in fact vote for trump, have gotten enough of a wake-up call, that maybe their poor judgment and poorer decision making wasn't as good as they thought. Because it is they that have damned us to this mess and we know it, we've seen it.

But don't get this idea in your head that every American endorse the idea that we like what we have.

 

Mine is work and life balance. At least in this stage of my life, I prefer work and life balance. That's why I've accepted a lenient schedule, I leave early when it's acceptable to, I know that my hard work ultimately is accounting for nothing except to make people who're not me richer than I'll ever be.

So it's like I don't even see the point in working hard when I know a lot of the time, things will continue to be more or less the same, day in and day out. My position could change if I had a different life and in a different field of work where it would matter. But as it is, I prefer being home more and doing things at my leisure. Especially when I don't have the commitment of children and currently, a relationship although being in one would kind of be nice though I don't think there's anyone out there who'd accept someone into this lifestyle.

But being at home more opens doors for me to pursue anything I want and indulge hobbies whereas if I was continuously doing hard work all of the time, I won't have even an hour towards them as it would've been spent sleeping it away.

What about you?

 

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She passed away

 

Either one or both works.

Mine is completing the Pokedex in the original Pokemon games. All you get is just Professor Oak giving you a wink and a small few second cut scene. And a congratulations text. Imagine spending all of your time then, getting all 151 and even 252 pokemon just for that? Yeah no thanks, I never completed the pokedex.

Going the Joja-Route in Stardew Valley. I say this mainly because, it is what you make of it. You forfeit being able to complete the Community Center by earning things, when you sign your soul away to Joja. What I would've liked is seeing Pierre go out of business completely. I just think that would add a route of depth in the game where you have to make ends meet through Joja because Pierre is permanently closed.

But, that doesn't happen, he'll still be in business despite his depression about Joja running things. Kindof ruins the whole concept of doing it for the achievements even.

 

I think the answer is - because they're lazy and want you to do their dirty work for them. I quite frankly, am not going to call the police over noise complaints because I think management should do something about that. Police should only be called when violence or tenants who get aggressive.

Not because of noise, I just think it's management dumping responsibility onto you when they're the ones with the power to evict people.
