People will come to work and say "oh sorry, I can't read that since I'm not wearing my glasses" and I'm like "why would you go anywhere without glasses if you need glasses?" I just don't understand it.

I have heard this my entire life and now that I recently have kids and a home, I find it to be an insane take. If anything, the greater my knowledge of the world becomes the MORE liberal I am. I'm significantly more aware of rigged systems and injustice as I age.

The original Matrix trailer was such stylish mystery and intrigue. Media consumption volume of the average person was drastically less than today and its release predated wide broadband availability. IYKYK but that film dropped like an absolute hype bomb and deserved all the love & success it received.

I actively think the devs blew it anytime I look behind a waterfall and it's just more rocks.

People who use exfoliating gloves and wash clothes are fine and all but it's not like the majority of the world works in high viscosity grease factories. I roll bare-handed and never stink or feel dirty during a typical day.

The writers strike DID end actually, you are talking about the SAG-AFTRA actor strike.

I'll have what she's having

I'm a real estate office drone who loves guitar and video games. Took a programming 101 class and absolutely hated it. Fuck Spez!

I literally slapped myself in the face like in the movies. Then I pulled over for a 30 min nap when I got to a rest stop.

Oklahoma is not the Midwest. There's a whole musical about them being western cowboys.

Forced Retirement

My Dad chaperoned on a Boy Scout trip and we listed to local rock radio in the church van. Dear ol' Dad sung along to this song and the scouts couldn't believe that this old man could possibly know G n'R. He BLEW THEIR MIND and gained a lot of cred.

In addition to finding some online instruction, I highly recommend looking for a song you actually want to play instead of just folk songs and traditionals. Unless you're a die hard jazz fan, I'm certain if you made a list of 10 songs you'd be able to find a tune within reach. There are so many songs built with open chords that most beginners learn first, defiantly seek them out!

You def won't be able to play EVERYTHING. Probably most things actually. But I bet there is some song you like or your parents kinda liked (that you don't mind) that only uses A, D, C, G, Am, Em, Dm.

Worst Kendall Roy vibes only

Who among us has never drawn a cock w/balls in the sand?

"Return to Zork" was one of the very first CD-Rom games I ever played. It's not a great game exactly but it's very near and dear to my heart.

While I did use Wordpad pretty regularly as a scratch pad, I get Word access through work and mostly use Notepad at home for config stuff. I don't see this as that big of a blow.

I had to make a 10 min dramatic movie for my high school Spanish class and my friend and I used the Return to Zork soundtrack for it while we edited on two VHS tape players. Banger after banger!

Oh yeah. Probably in 92 when it was a single for the album
