  • Women have some serious shit doled out at them about standards of beauty. I remember one girlfriend I had was very conscious about her skin not being perfect. She was a beautiful woman, great personality, a lot of fun - but was nervous because her skin wasn’t perfect. (We split because I had to move away to start my career, and she wanted kids, while I didn’t - so there wasn’t much point in continuing a long distance relationship.)


  • Well I also think there’s something to be said for the sheer uselessness of it - not only CAN it do it, it’s not a major drain on battery life or anything.

    Also, my first computer was an IBM PCjr, so my comment stands - transcribing audio would have taken that blazing 4.77 MHz processor a large amount of time. 128 KB of RAM, baby - we had the upgrade sidecar. 360KB floppy disk! 16 color CGA graphics, but since few games were programmed with that in mind, it was really four color!







  • The Wii Fit game (I forget the actual name) let you enter your pets and track their weight. Then they’d sometimes show up and run beside you while you were running or cycling around the island. It was a great touch.

    I can’t fire it up to look. Our tabby that passed away in 2020 is probably still on there, as is our gray and white cat, who is not doing well - we’re at the “keeping him comfortable” stage. (He’s okay for now, he’s still a happy cat, but he probably only has a few months left.)







  • Make sure you understand the situation. The Kennedy Center was doing fine financially until Trump and his sycophants took over. Ticket sales plummeted and acts pulled out.

    Now they’re claiming bankruptcy and only Trump can save it. Yeah, he can save it, by stopping his own involvement and getting rid of his cronies. But we all know that isn’t going to happen.

    He’s tying his name to releasing funds that were appropriated by Congress for operation and maintenance.

    My wife and I went to the Kennedy Center many times. She and a friend had season tickets for several years. We’re feeling this one pretty personally. A lot of good memories there.

    He’s going to fucking demolish it. Baby can’t have his name on it, so it’s temper tantrum time.
