Shows not over. We still have 7 more songs in the audio player that automatically plays. Most had a visual player where you could pause, rewind, seek, ect.
A few made the player hidden, autoplay, and on repeat. Still want to hunt down those people from 20+ years ago who did this.
Did anyone here do this?

Actually, it didn't take me 25 minutes to read this.
Also password management is easy. Just use "Password124567890" for everything. It's genuis because the 3 is missing. Therefore, if someone did guess your password correctly, no they didn't. They'd move on to less simple passwords, simply because you left off the 3.

Ok, so it's 1993, and Dennis Nedry has been living/working on this island full of dinosaurs for the last 5 years. He's been frustrated with his pay rate for doing IT work debugging 2 million lines of code.
He's at a point where asking for a raise is look upon with deaf ears from his millionaire (which today would be billionaire) boss.
So he starts talking to a rival company. He accepts a job to steal all these vials of dino dna, to hand over to this other company which wants to build their own Jurassic Park. They have none of the research done, and this one move catches them up on 15 years worth of research.
So he writes a code, which disables security, on an island where the only think seperating you from beast is electricity. He shuts that off.
Now he's taken the vials, the dinosaurs are running wild, he's driving in the rain, and despite living here for the past 5 years, is uncertain where the docks are. He takes a turn too fast, crashes his car into the directions sign, and now he has no clue which direction to go. Worse still his jeep is now stuck in the mud.
And this is where it gets really stupid. Instead of trying to pull his jeep OUT of the ditch, he climbs DOWN a hill over a waterfall. This is not a dinosaur paddock, because there are no fences, but it is an artificial jungle area with plenty of trees.
He connects the rip cord from his jeep to a tree at the bottom of a waterfall, and the bottom of a hill.
Now lets pause for a minute. Let's say this island had no dinosaurs. He's just on an island, in a storm, stuck in mud. Lets say nothing stops him from using the rip cord.
His jeep would then pull itself towards a waterfall, and then roll down a hill. Best case scenario, it somehow ends up upright, and not on it's side.
It would still be stuck in the mud, but now it's also at the bottom of an unclimbable hill.
And remember, the boat is at the dock saying they leave in 15 minutes. All this time fussing with the rip cord, is all on the clock, which started back when he was in the control center BEFORE he turned off power, and stole the embrios.
Realistically, he's likely got 5 or so minutes to get to the dock in a storm where he doesn't even know which direction to go.
Dennis Nedry didn't fail because of a dilophosaurus. He failed because he was stressed, full of anxiety, had a half thought out plan, and no foresight to execute the plan.
Which is insane, when you consider he had no issue with the hard part. Writing the code to terminate security. Syncing up the code to your watch so you have an exact down to the second knowledge of when the camera turns off. And a way to slip out the building with a shaving can full of dinosaur dna vials. Once you get to the jeep, that SHOULD be the easy part!
Instead, he got lost on an small island with very few roads, that he should by this point know like the back of his hand.
Now for the kicker.
Not once in the movie did they ever say what his plan was to avoid legal actions.
Lets say he gets away with it. He can't do it again. It'll be obvious who did it by the next day. So what does he do? Would police not just arrest him, and extradite him to the united states to stand trial?
None of his plan ever had a chance of working.

NES games were $80. Thats why most households usually only had 1-2 games.
It wasn't until resell shops came around that everyone sold their games, and bought 2-3 used games with that money.
Video gaming was unaffordable in the 80s too. I think if you compare lifetime sales of most NES games to most modern games, you'll find the trend was that if your game wasn't mario, it didn't sell all that well on the NES. Even Zelda in the early days had a rough start.
Whereas these days, the industry has grown so much due to keeping prices relatively stable for 40 years. So now consoles sell more, games in general sell 10x more.
Prop that price up and watch the sales fall.

About 6 years ago I had an analogy. The analogy was birthed because during covid discussion of vacines would go off the rails as idiots got emotional from their news talking head bullet points. I would try to make a point, and rather than listen, and engage in critical thinking, I was getting CNN and Fox News talking points argueing things that were never even said by me, but they were being argued as part of a broader discussion on tv.
So I needed a fake topic that no one had emotions over. Something there were no talking head points on. No parachute for these mouth breathers to fall back on.
At the time, the 2020 election was about a month away. Trump was still president. I feared a 2nd term would be far worse than his first. Sanders a few montbs prior, before the summer, was looking to be the only option democrats had. Which would have been great. Then Biden came out of 5th place in 2 weeks, and became the top pick. So I made an analogy of the differences between the parties.
I said:
I want you to imagine that Russia has a government building with a very healthy lawn. A government lawn. And for some reason it's seen as a mark of national pride. A lawn that Russia uses to belittle the USA. They claim to be the superior country, because their lawn is greener. So now the USA has to make the lawn of the white house greener than the Russian lawn.
Here's how the democrats would handle it. They would have 50 different viewpoints, and argue for 50 different solutions. In the end, nothing can get done because they're all argueing which method will result in the greenest lawn. In the end, they do nothing. Brown spots remain on the white house lawn.
Meanwhile republicans don't argue. They just find the guy with the loudest voice, and all get behind his plan 100%. Even if it's terrible. The end result is that trump finds an intern, gives him $100 to go to home depot and buy as much green paint as he can. Then they'll paint the lawn green. Only to discover that the 4 buckets of paint isn't nearly enough to paint the whole lawn the same color. So their response is to just dump the paint all in one spot. Let it flow where it runs, and then call that a huge sucsess. Even though all you did was slightly color a 30 foot radius of a huge farm a slightly greener green. Then take publicity photos in just that one spot, and brag about how you did it. All the while the democrats, who did nothing, are blaming the republicans for not actually doing the job. Both sides calling the other a hypocrite for doing nothing but blaming the other sides failures.
--------------
Ya know.......now, 6 years later, we got a UFC event on the white house lawn, and they repainted the pool so now it's becoming a swamp. Because blue paint promotes warmer water in pools, and creates conditions that allow algae to grow.
Soooooooooo, remove the russian element from my fake analagy. Change the paint color to blue. Put in the pool instead of the lawn, and now somehow I lose the ability to use that analogy because now people are emotional over the white house lawn and UFC. Now people are emotional over republicans painting things at the white house with disasterous results.
I specifically thought out my analogy to be so stupid that people won't get tripped up in the minor details, and instead concentrate on the core contrast in how the parties (don't) work.
Now I'm fucked. If I start to use that analogy, they'll just say "Oh, they lost the right for the white house lawn to be a matter of national pride when they put on that UFC event."
Or
"They won't use green paint. They probably have extra blue paint left over from the reflection pool."
*sigh*
Ya know.....you can't just take the stupid things I say, and make them reality.

I think of infants/babies from 0-1, children/ from 1-12, and teens from 13-19. And they don't do sex ed where I'm from. I'm 42, and still my dad doesn't think I'm old enough for the talk.
But if I were a parent, I'd probably do it around age 14. Enough time that they've felt some of puberty, and enough to understand what I'm talking about, but young enough that they haven't done something stupid yet.
Last thing you want is for you to sit down your 8 year old kid, and try to have the talk, only for them to react with "eeewww cooties!" And for a kid? Yeah. That would be the correct response.

Ok, so I won't bore you with the back and forth details that led up to this. The important thing to know is that I needed to talk to a human at the IRS to ask a very simple question that would take just a few minutes to look into.
Me trying to call for 3 days dozens of calls dealing with this shit. I eventually figured out how to prompt the AI to let me push buttons to reach menus.
After all that I plotted out what each option does.
ALL OF THEM either lead to a pre-recorded message that says to visit the website, OR attempts to transfer you, before telling you there are no agents taking calls for that option.
Eventually, I wondered what would happen if I said to the AI agent "TAX FRAUD".
Boom. Straight through to an agent.
I feel bad for lying to the hotline, but also, I was left no valid options to talk to a human. Once I said tax fraud, my issue which I had spent probably 100 calls in 3 days trying to get through, was over in 10 minutes. And 6 of those minutes she put me back on hold to research my issue.
Fuck AI

So I was just on Youtube, and I saw the suggested videos. Now, about 6 months ago, I was doing a LOT of research on retro handhelds.
I eventually settled on the Retroid Pocket Flip 2. The thing about retro handhelds though, is that 3 new handhelds have been released since I started this sentence. There's a LOT of handhelds out there. Like.....a LOT a lot. So in order to figure out which one to buy, I became a regular viewer of channels like Retro Game Corps, and TechDweeb. Even today, I'm not in the market for a new handheld. I JUST bought one a year ago. But I still watch new videos. I try to keep in the know on the industry as a whole. That Ayn Thor is looking SUPER sexy. I genuinely think I made a mistake in buying the Flip 2. I see the Ayn Thor, and I think "Oh god.....look at it....."
All I'm saying is, if you look at a woman the way I look at Ayn Thor videos, you'll get slapped. Probably by everybody in the immediate area. But I do love my Flip 2. I have to. I have what I have, and I have to make due with what I have. Thing was like $430 once you include all the accessories. I can't just do that AGAIN a few months later just because a new one came out. They come out dozens every month.
And so that's when I saw this youtube video title.
"I sold my Retroid Pocket 5 for the Retroid Pocket GS". I am floored. Can you believe this asshole? He sold his RETROID POCKET 5 TO BUY A RETROID POCKET GS!!!! See, this is the clickbait bullshit that's youtube has succumb to! I am not clicking that video, despite having a complete understanding of why that statement is insane!
And this is the moment that I realize that most readers will not understand what I'm talking about. Let me explain.
See, the Retroid Pocket 5 came out about a year and a half ago. It is a very capable device. If the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 hadn't been released the week after I started researching, I was absolutely GOING TO buy the Retroid Pocket 5. Then they announced the Retroid Pocket Flip 2. I hadn't bought anything yet, and I knew I wasn't getting the Retroid Pocket 5 anymore. It was all about the Flip 2. That's because the Retroid Pocket 5 is a standard handheld shape. Kind of like the PSP, or the Vita, or the original GBA. It had that same form factor. Then, they took literally the exact same handheld. Same motherboard. Same screen. Same buttons. Same ram. Same EVERYTHING. And they instead put it in a clamshell design. Like the DS, but with 1 screen only. But it still closes. Other than form factor, literal exact same handheld. As long as you got the snapdragon 865 version....but we won't go down THAT rabbit hole.
Instead, the relevant bits are that The Retroid Pocket 5 came out Sept 2024. The Flip 2 came out March 2025. And then on Oct 2025 they released the Retroid Pocket GS.
So, what is the Retroid Pocket GS? Well.....it uses the same shell as the Retroid Pocket 5. Same screen. Same buttons. Slightly faster processor. Very slightly. And instead of 8GB of ram, I think it has 12GB. I'd have to double check that. I may be wrong with how badly this ram price situation has gotten. I refuse to call it a shortage. There's plenty of ram in stores. It's just that it's priced in a way that no one is willing to pay.
So let me get this straight. This guy buys the Retroid Pocket 5. Then wants the Retroid Pocket GS. Like me, he can't afford to constantly buy new handhelds for $200+. But unlike me, he makes a go of it anyways. So he sells his perfectly capable Retroid Pocket 5, to get a Retroid Pocket GS??? Well guess what. The Retroid Pocket GS came out in October 2025. Guess what came out January 2026. Oh yeah. We're talkin the Retroid Pocket 6! THAT'S RIGHT BABY!!! FULL SEQUEL!!!!
This is a major jump from the Pocket 5. This is a major jump from the Retroid Pocket GS. It was also announced that it was coming.
Meaning the ONLY people who should have any reason to buy the Retroid Pocket GS, are people who are buying it as a holiday gift for someone else in the timeframe between October 2025 and December 2025. Otherwise just wait the extra one month, and get the full upgrade.
I mean, I would TOTALLY sell my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 for an Ayn Thor. Difference is, that would never work. The model I want is $550. The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 brand new is like $229. There is zero way for me to sell my Retroid Pocket Flip 2. and buy an Ayn Thor. So I guess this is getting me angry for two reasons.
1) This guy thought it was worth it for such a trivial upgrade, KNOWING he has to set up the Retroid Pocket GS, which he's already done with his Retroid Pocket 5. Retro Games Corps has a video showing you how to set up your brand new Retroid Pocket 5. It is an hour long. It has received TWO follow up videos. One is 45 more minutes. The other 37 MORE minutes. All to set up and organize emulators and rom files to play old video games. Now imagine doing that process AGAIN a few months later, just so you get a slight performance boost.
And
2) Who is buying a used Retroid Pocket 5 a year after launch, for equal price as a new Retroid Pocket GS? Who is THIS asshole just browsing ebay looking to waste money? Why can't I find this sucker? I could buy a package of 24 rolls of toilet paper.....use 3 rolls, and sell him a 21 roll pack of toilet paper for the price I paid for the 24 pack. This guy is out there. He exists,. Who IS this guy??? Does he hate cheese???
And now that I think about it, there's the distinct possibility that this youtuber exists soley TO make these videos. Where the real purpose was to document the process to make a youtube video. Which would then insinuate that he doesn't care about video games at all. He doesn't care about the performance boost of the Retroid Pocket GS, or the fact that the Retroid Pocket 6 was announced the same day, but would release later with a substantial improvement. It was never about the performance. It was about making a video. To make money. Which means really this guy is just wasting everybody's time! And you know what? I can relate. I do that a lot. I waste everybody's time. I'm just not getting paid for it. Give me money! Money me now!

Given the surrealist nature of The Tick, I can imagine him saying
>I am very proud of our angry little women
But I can't imagine The Tick making it about politics. So one of two things is true. Either
A) The Tick never said that. In which case I'm confused how you read this story/headline, and immediately assosiated it with The Tick.
Or
B) There's some episode where "leftie" doesn't pertain to politics, and you're using the quote for the meme, although out of context.
So I guess my question is, which episode is this from? I grew up on The Tick, and I don't remember this line. I'm less versed in the comics. Is it from the comic, even though this is a screenshot from the 1995 animated show?

Just think.
Right now at your local hardware store are tons of tools you can buy. If you need to cut something, you can buy a saw.
And when you use the saw, the word "saw" is the verb of how you use the noun. So you'd use a saw to saw.
And if you had an instinct to cut a saw in half, you might use a second saw to cut the first saw in half.
But you wouldn't do that. YOU have no desire to do that. But maybe someone else does. And maybe you just happened to bear witness to the cutting of the saw. You will have seen it. And since thats now in past tense, you saw it happen.
In which case you will have saw a saw saw a saw.

Cheese is the only reason I have left to get out of bed in the morning. An ex once said my diet is like 90% cheese, and when I tried to refute that claim, I had difficulty making a case that I don't actually eat that much cheese. That was the day that I realized I may have a problem. But since nobody shames anyone for being a cheese-aholic, I'm not even going to attempt to quit.
Also, I'm going to buy cheese later today.

My first job makes $12/hr, and my second job makes $13.60/hr.
They aren't counting my second job because I've worked it 17 months, and they require it to be 24 months.
Thenthey tell me that they need 75% debt ratio as a down payment. Meaning if a house were 100k, and I make $0, then I'd need 75k down payment. But since they're only counting my first job, that's only 20k.
So on a 100k house, I'd need 55k down payment. Since 75k minus my 20k salary is now 55k. Not only do I not have 55k, but also the houses I want are in the 130-160k range.
But nooooope.

Now I fully understand why everybody is negative towards him getting this care. And I fully get why everyone hates his existence completely.
That being said, if Giuliani never did anything after his mayoral term, he would be fondly remembered today. There was a time when he was remembered as the hero that held NYC together during and after 9/11. If he just stayed out of politics after that, and was only remembered the 9/11 mayor, he would actually have a legacy worth remembering.
But he didn't. He got back in the spotlight. He did everything wrong after that. He's become an embarassment, and a joke. He's basically a grifter at this point.
HOWEVER......he was still present at many 9/11 media sites, including the site of the destroyed towers in the days when asbestos was still in the air.
It took Jon Stewart to get this program approved. I'm unclear if Giuliani stood against it. I don't think he did. But regardless, if anyone deserves this program, it's the first responders. After that, second in line should be medical staff that helped during 9/11. After that would be Giuliani. I feel he should be low on the priority list, but still on the list. He DID do a lot to help NYC at that time.
With all that out of the way, I feel like everybody should have 100% free healthcare at all times.

Whats weird is, unrelated to the pandemic, I always buy the massive pack of toilet paper. I think it's like 28 rolls. And I had bought that JUST before all the panic. It's just how I naturally do this. Buy the big one, and like a year later it runs out.
Then the panic starts, and my mom calls, and says "I was out shopping and picked you up some toilet paper, in case you need it!"
"Oh, I'm good. I just bought some."
"Just take the damn toilet paper! These shelfs are empty! You don't know when you'll get some!"
Gives me ANOTHER of the same size I just bought.
Then my dad calls.
"Hey, I know you sometimes have trouble finding time to go grocery shopping, so I got you some toilet paper. These stores are going crazy!"
"Oh, no no. I have more then enough."
"I already bought it, and I don't think you can return toilet paper."
Gives me a 16 roll pack.
Then my sister calls.
"Heeeeeey, I was out at Costco earlier, and these stores are running out of toilet paper. Luckily I got each of us a 60 roll pack."
"Nooooooo.......I have so much as it is! Mom AND dad gave me a bunch."
"Well I don't have room in my house for all this! I got one for you, and one for (other sister), and one for mom!"
*gives me 60 more rolls*
Then my other sister calls.
"Heeeeey, so (first sister) got me 60 rolls of toilet paper. I don't like the costco brand. So I'm giving it to you."
"You know she already got me one, rigUS #+
"Well I don't like it. So now its yours."
*gives me ANOTHER 60 rolls*
Then my aunt called.
"Hey do you need toilet paper?"
"NO!"
"Geez, don't get mad at me! I'm just helping you out. Take this, and only use it for emergancies."
*gives me a 4 roll pack*
I still have a decent amount of toilet paper. Both 60 packs remain unopened. I haven't looked in that closet to see exactly where I am, but I think I'm at like 60% unused.

And here I am. 40k in the bank. Good credit. No debt. No kids. No child support. No bankrupcies. In a city where I'm looking at a house thats 155k. And being told I'm not good enough to buy this house. Even though the monthly payment would be $200 less than my current rent.
So now the goal posts keep moving. I'm 42. Still no house. So I literally play animal crossing simply because it's a game of paying off a loan to own a house. That's as close as I get.

Ok, so you open up a new service. People drop their dogs off to be walked for them.
Then, that service advertises that you can volunteer to walk a dog.
So now you got people paying you to walk a dog. They show up, and a blind person accepts the dog to be walked. And you in turn get someone else to walk the dog for free, with the promise that you get to hang out with a dog for a few hours.
And then, at night, the blind people who work the front desk get into a boxing ring, and you run a gambling service on which blind boxer will win.
So now when the people come to pick up their dogs, you have the blind guy ask if they want to buy a ticket to see them in a boxing match. And because they're blind, most people would feel bad, and buy the $20 admission. Even if they don't attend.
Now, my only concern at this point is figuring out how not to pay the blind boxers. If I can do that, you'd have a business with no labor overhead, and 100% profit.

And also when Switch 2 has just nothing going for it.
Like, what am I supposed to get excited about? What's the system seller? What the hot game I'm supposed to lose my mind over?
I don't see it. I see a company which at one point in my life DOMINATED the video game space. Then, shot themselves in the foot several times, and willingly gave up their number 1 spot.
Then I watched them reinvent themselves. They became the quirky underdog with style and an asthetic that was colorful, and vibrant. When the PS2 was an industry juggernaut, it was a black box with a blue logo, and nothing more. Meanwhile gamecube was bright purple, the controller was multicolored, and the system had a handle. It was quirky.
And thats what they remained until this. The Switch 2. A black rectangle. No design. No personality. Forgetable games. And price increases across the board.
You know what I got instead? The Retroid Pocket Flip 2. The one made to look like it was gamecube inspired.
Do you think 20 years from now, novelty devices will be nostolgic for Switch 2's asthetic? I don't even know what that would be! At least switch 1 had the red and blue joycon look. Seriously, if you had to draw something Switch 2 inspired, how would you convey that???

I will clarify for non-Americans.
We, the American people are just as welcoming as we've always been. Half will open their arms to you, ang give you a welcoming hug. Half are racist, and stupid.
It's the American government which is no longer welcoming to immigrants.
So to any immigrants thinking of visiting, DON'T.
I don't say this out of hate. I say this out of protection to you. Don't come to America. You are not safe here. Shits bad. Same way I wouldn't reccomend any Jewish people to vacation in Germany in the early 1940s. That's where we are right now. Stay safe by staying home.

2026-05-05 06:45:12 UTC

So, I'm 42. I have excellent memory of my childhood through today. I don't remember every single moment. I'm not rainman. But I do remember the general jist of things from my own perspective at the time.
I'm not sure when it happened. Maybe it's always been this way, and I'm just noticing it in the last 10 years. I have noticed that there is an owners class, and literal sheep. I see record labels DECIDE what will be the next big hit single. I see them DECIDE who will be the next big superstar. Taylor Swift is absolutely manufactured. If AI were more advanced, I'd even believe she were totally AI. But as it stands, she's a woman, who billionaires DECIDED will be a big deal. And so she is. She became such a big deal, that she herself is now a billionaire. I often hear that billionaires only exist because of exploiting others labor. I think Taylor Swift accidently fell into a loophole. To my knowledge, very few humans were actually involved in making her popular. It was more so the customers voluntarily giving their money in exchange for music. Whether that's concerts, or MP3/CD's, or any other way you can pay to hear her music.
And then I start thinking about what is different between my childhood and today? Music wise, not much. Different performers. Different genres. Different audiences. But essentially running on the same business model. Taylor Swift today, Micheal Jackson in 1985. Britney Spears in 1998. So, what other aspects of life may be different?
And I think of my old childhood family TV. To anyone younger out there, there was a time when your whole house had 1 TV. No internet. Internet didn't exist at all. Your house had 1 TV, and the whole family had to share it at all times. Today, TVs are appliances. In the 80s, TVs were furniture. This thing was like 4 feet wide, and wooden. The screen occupied half of the panel. Think of the 50% on the middle as the screen. Then 25% to the left was a set of 2 speakers each above and below each other. And 25% was to the right of the screen, with the same setup as the left. Also on the right was a bunch of buttons. Power, Channel up, channel down, volume up, volume down, and menu.
Today, TVs are like an inch thick, and a 80' TV weighs 2 lbs. Back then you needed like a 4 man crew to move a 25' TV. You all joked around that it'd have been easier to just steal the forklift from work....and then obviously bring it back. Do it on the weekend when the plant was closed.
Yeah, back then factory jobs existed, and fed a family of 4 on one mans salary moving heavy things. Today, you gotta work like 4 jobs to live in a studio apartment.
But right now, it just feels like every aspect of life, is just getting shittier and shittier every 5 years. Plus it compounds! Which means each downgrade is permanent! 9/11 was 25 years ago, and TSA, which was originally intended as a temporary thing while investigations ran, is STILL in our airports! And they never even know WHEN they're getting paid, because first the government creates them. Then the government mandates them. And now, if the wind blows wrong, the government shuts down for 2 months, 4 months, and all the while telling these guys "FUCK YOU FOR EXISTING! NO PAY FOR YOU! DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE'RE THE ONES WHO MAKE YOU EXIST! WE JUST DON'T WANT TO PAY YOU! NOW SHOW UP TO WORK TOMORROW, DICKHEAD!"
And then people wonder why the TSA experience feels like a bunch of people pissed off at all times.
But what if I WANT a furniture TV? Like, YOU can still have your flat 4K lighter than air TV, but what if I want to tie my room together? TVs have no style anymore. It's just black rectangle. Zero personality. You look at a TV from the 80s, and you think "Holy shit, look at that thing!"
And that's what you do to TVs. You look at them. That's why they exist. So why make them LESS visually appealing? It's because we all need to have the same experience. We all need the same phone experience. It's either apple or android. It's not like politics. There CAN be more than 2. But there's not. Go on. Try to buy a blackberry, or a windows phone. I dare you! See how far that gets you.
But in the 80s, yeah, cell phones weren't really a thing, but for the select few that did have them, they were very different from each other. And into the 90s, you started getting like 10-20 different phone manufacturers. There was choice. There was personality. Now it's just "Here's the phone. Buy it asshole! We've made it mandatory in your life now whether you want it or not. Don't have a cell phone? Good luck surviving socially in the modern era, or even applying for jobs now."
It just feels like the experience we get in life today isn't a choice at all of what we want to do with our lives. We work multiple jobs, don't get to have a social life, and we get told which products to buy, which music to listen to, even if we're not listening to it. I know SO MANY SONGS just from being in public spaces. Because all places at all times need music playing. Not indie music, no. It's the same artists everywhere. Millions of bands and artists in the world, but in any given year, you'll only hear these 40 or so acts. So maybe 100 different songs for the year? Which sounds like a lot, but it's not. Not when you have to hear them EVERYWHERE you go.
Getting a haircut? Song.
Grocery shopping? Song.
Resteraunt? Work (depending where you work)? Even hospitals.
And I gotta be honest about television. I have no idea what the current trends for television are. I mean, I assume the answer is "streaming", but I don't know any of the modern shows. I stopped watching TV about 15 years ago. I saw this show on TV called "Deal or No Deal". It is the most asinine concept for a game show I ever saw. You just randomly point to briefcases trying to eliminate the smallest amounts with ZERO skill. Like, none at all. It's just pick a random number.....ok, this amount is now gone. And you as a viewer have zero way to root for these people. Yay, you're better at picking random numbers than the previous episode of the exact same bullshit! Like.....what?
So I decided that I put two and two together there, and decided that TV is pissing me off, and my TV has an off button. So I can't comment on TV these days, as I refuse to watch. But even not watching I know that someone keeps rebooting EVERYTHING and it never works. Everything I hear is like "People are excited for the new That 70s Show reboot!" and like 6 months later I read "The reboot is done. Everybody is fired. We're done. The show sucked."
And it's like this for every reboot I read about. Excitement before the debut. Then an absurdly short time later the show is done, and everybody hates it. Then you start seeing these youtube recommended videos like "Why did the Full House show fail? Click here to listen to some asshole talk about things you don't care about".
So think about that. I don't watch TV, yet I have a vague understanding of what's going on for a service I haven't seen. That very much feels like a result of everything being a controlled experience. I'm MEANT to know about these things, even if I've never seen it. So it becomes unavoidable. You experience what the owners deem profitable for you to experience. Rather then just the world exists, and you exist, and other things happen, and maybe you're there to see it, maybe you aren't, but either way you're living life. You're living a life. You're living your life. But you're not living the life. As in, the standard default life that everybody has to live.
I don't think people are as free willed anymore as is healthy. I don't think people today grasp the fact that when you're 70, you're not going to give a shit if you put numbers in a spread sheet, or replaced the coffee filter 30 years ago. Sometimes you need to just go to the park. Just call work and say "Hey, I saw a cool cloud, and I'm going to follow it." And just be happy you got to see a cloud for 45 minutes. And then grab a tea. Just to let your mind relax. Not your body, but your mind.
Nope! We gotta remain under lock and key with our schedules, stress levels to the max, political barrages from every angle, while your ability to survive is always no more then a 2 week interruption from having serious consequences in your life. So you can't say no. You can't chase a cloud. You have to do what they say, how they say, when they say, and experience it how they want you to experience it.
And I just want a cool living room with a cool furniture TV, and for society to collectively develop unique opinions.

I've done both. What's even better is walking out on a job midway through the shift at 2am, knowing your boss is a sound sleeper and won't wake up even for emergancy calls.
So for one glorious night in 2009, a Circle K at 2am had the doors wide open, no one around working there, and no one answering the call to come in.
And now that I think of it, I'm not even sure who WOULD call her.
All I know is I came in at 11pm, started my shift, and looked at next weeks schedule. I had no hours listed. I didn't know if they were firing me, or just forgot. Either way, I just started doing my job as the only person on duty. I waited until the absolute dead of night, and I left.
I didn't steal anything, but I didn't lock the doors either. I left. Whatever they lost is on them. They treated me like shit for 2 months, and then post a schedule with my hours blank. Fuck all of that! Especially since I worked Christmas eve/night and New years eve.
So when I saw that schedule blank, I thought I should walk out at that moment. Then I instantly realized all I would be doing is punishing the day girl. She gets off at 11pm, and the boss would have made her stay. So, I waited. I assumed I'd get checked up on. A phone call to explain things, or even make sure I'm still there.
Nope.
The boss really just assumed I'd wait until morning when she came in to get fired.
They tried threatening legal action, saying I was responsible for everything stolen. That held no water, and is the exact reason I didn't steal anything on my way out. The police told me, when he came to my house that if they had video of me stealing, then I could have been charged with that theft as a primary crime, and then they would have added all following thefts to me. But with no evidence showing I stole anything, they had no case. It felt like the cop was basically lecturing me because now he had complicated paperwork to fill out, and it'd be easier if he could just arrest me.

The directions on how to get there are wild. First you enter a gated community, and then you gotta drive FOR A MILE to a property called "The train station", which is, a parking lot with no trains. From here you need to travel ANOTHER mile, I assume on foot, to the property.
And every step of the way, they assure you, multiple times, that these buildings all have restrooms.
If they said it once, I'd not have thought twice about it. But they repeat it like 4 more times that they have restrooms. Now I'm suspicious why that point had to be driven home so hard. I don't even know what the conspiracy is, but I'm still suspicious of their bathrooms.
