Heroine? Like a female superhero? I uh…I dunno man. We’ve already established that I am very manly.
Then again, Wonder Woman would be a heroine, and she’s probably more manly that emo ass Batman!
Waaaah!!! Waaaah!!! My parents died!
Both of Spidermans parents died. And his uncle ben. And you don’t see him being a little emo pussy.
Well, except in Spiderman 3. But we don’t talk about that one.

Ah the internet. Where people will say some common knowledge, then someone else will come by and challenge that knowledge, thus pointing out that the common knowledge is actually wrong. So now I’m left to wonder “Wait, where did I even hear that from to begin with?”
And the answer is probably some guy on the internet. Just a statement that presents no reason to challenge it, so it becomes accepted as fact for decades. Until one night at 3am, you realize you can’t actually defend how you know it’s right, and maybe this other guy saying it’s wrong is right.
This is my life now. Random strangers fight on the internet, as I question reality.

I was born in the early 80s. I was just at the point of being a kid who can remember things around 1990. By 2000 I think I was 16. I was 2 weeks shy of being 18 when 9/11 happened.
So from my perspective the 90s are the only decade I can remember that didn’t suck, which makes it awesome!
- Comment on Never Gonna Give You Up 5 days ago:
The only part that makes your comparison absurd is the fact that there’s nothing special about 2006.
In your head, right now, imagine the 1950s. There’s a distinct style you’re seeing, isn’t there?
Now picture 2006. How is the image any different than today, besides the cars today being computers on wheels?
We would be glorifing 2006, if there was anything worthwhile about it.
- Comment on Never Gonna Give You Up 5 days ago:
To be fair, the 90s were awesome.
This whole century has sucked since 9/11

It’s also a natural pest repellant. Fleas, rats, mice, bed bugs. They all hate the smell, and will avoid it.

I’m high, and didn’t realize that mint connected to all of the things listed. So I thought mint was just another of the things listed. So I began looking for lettuce. Then I saw Linux, and got so confused.

So there was a two year period where Germany had two currencys? The Deutsche Mark and the Euro from 1999-2001?

Oh,ok. Thats fine. I was getting concerned he was like 8. I was gonna be like “FBI? Yes, this post right here.”
- Comment on The legendary PS2 1 week ago:
Man…I’m way out of here with my understanding of German currency. I thought the German mark was the currency they introduced after WWI when they started just printing money to pay back the allies.
Then I thought they abandoned it in favor of the euro which came after WWII.
My timeline/understanding is way off

- Comment on Stop Killing Games has joined a lawsuit against Sony's move to digital-only sales: 'You won't have any choice at all' 1 week ago:
On top of that, everything since the PS4 and even some of PS3, has been game files are on the disc, but incomplete. Disc is more or less a DRM security check to make sure you still have the game. Outside of that, you still have to download the full game basically. The disc is useless if you tried using this in the year 2067. By then I’m sure any service related to the PS5 will be long dead. Right now, I can buy and play NES games from 1985. I have no issue doing that. As long as your TV has component cable input, I can play an NES on your TV with an NES I can buy on ebay. The game and console both made in the 1980s. It will still work. Might need some isopropyl alcohol and a few q-tips, but it will work. 1985 was 41 years ago. 2067 is 41 years from now. I have zero faith that you’ll be able to use anything from the PS4 or PS5 era. That will become lost media. There may be issues connecting an NES to a modern TV in 2067, but if there are adaptors to make it work on whatever they use at the time, and if the physical plastic and brass hasn’t eroded, then you’ll STILL be able to use an NES in 2067. I have zero faith that Gen-Z will be able to show their grandkids what they played in 2018.
Good chance I’ll be dead before then, so I may not even see the day. My point stands though. We’re living in a digital only age, when we haven’t figured out how we will forever preserve these games. Because unless something crazy changes, I fully believe this generation is a generation you can only play now, while you can. My PS3 still has the PSHome app installed. I remember playing on PSHome for years. Then one day, they announced it would die, and all access to the service would be lost to time. Which is how it stands to this day.
I forget what the error says if you try to launch it now, but I stopped trying to launch it, because I was afraid it might self-delete.

I think I’ve heard of that, if it’s what I’m remembering.
There was this kid in tge 1960s. He got hit by a car, but didn’t die. He wasn’t in a coma, but it looked like he was in a coma but awake.
He was kept on life support, but really the life support wasn’t needed. They found he was actually breathing just fine. But they kept him on it, in his living room.
He was just a kid. Like 7 years old.
Flash forward to the late 90s and he, now nearly 40 was propped up on the couch like normal. His mom was watching wheel of fortune. Then his mom just hears her son take a guess at the puzzle. Not only was it the right answer, but it was the first words he had spoken in like 35 years.
Turns out his mom would watch wheel of fortune, and jeapordy every night. And every night in his own head he would play along.
The story never explains how he snapped out of it. He just took a guess at the wheel of fortune answer just as he’d done for years. This time it was verbal.
The son later on asked his mom if she remembered a moment that had happened in the 70s. His mom walked into the room, saw him, and said “Why won’t you just die already? You’re tearing this family apart. We can’t keep funding your burden…”
And then she left the room. Never to speak of it again.
That moment lived rent free in this guys head for 20+ years. Everyday knowing he’s hurting his family. Everyday being a burden. From his own mothers mouth. He’s their burden. That’s the thought he had every day.
And when he asked his mom if she remembered that, she burst into tears. She didn’t remember at all.
So now it’s the 90s. He’s speaking for the first time. His friend who he knew before the accident, left work early. Didn’t even tell anyone he was leaving. He got a text. “John is speaking”. He was in John’s living room within 15 minutes.
This friend had visited him sometimes every day. Sometimes a few times a week. But always with him. And because he had come over, everyday his friend for 30+ years had talked to him as if he were normal. So he learned of his friend’s life in real time. And from Johns point of view, he didn’t even need to catch up, because he was never out of the loop.
One of the first things he wanted to do was to meet his friends wife. He had been married for 10 years, but she never felt comfortable visiting. But his friend would talk about her so much that he felt like he knew her already.
I changed the names. Mostly because I read this story about 15 years ago and don’t remember the names. I’m probably forgetting other details too. It just stuck out to me that his mom, probably in a moment of frustration that she didn’t mean, gave him such mental trauma with just a few sentences that would last a lifetime. And also it stuck out to me how a 7 year old kept his friend in his life, until almost 40 years old without one word spoken from John.
