  • What are the chances that I, a not particularly tech savvy person, go to download mint and end up bricking my computer?

    Honestly, my computer is an absolute bottom of the barrel $200 Dell laptop right now, so it wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but I’d hate to fuck it up, get a better computer, and fuck that up too.

    I mean to tell you that I’m that regular. Once in the morning and I’m done until tomorrow.

    And yes, I wash my body every single day. Are you telling me the paragon of asshole cleanliness that is Europeans doesn’t?

    God Europeans are so eager so shit on all of us. Is it the orange monkey we elected? Is that what did it?




  • Jesus Christ. I met my ex-girlfriend through mutual music tastes. We both followed bands that are well under the national radar.

    I couldn’t take her to bars because she would load up the jukebox with hours worth of the music we listened to.

    I’m the first to admit that it’s an acquired taste, not necessarily something you want to blast throughout a bar full of drunks who don’t know it and more likely than not won’t like it.

    This happened over and over. Got thrown out of a couple places because she would get in fights over it.


  • I used to work at a place where several partners were members of this church. The open disdain directed toward me for not being a churchgoer and the ostracization the occurred were a significant factor of my decision to leave.

    After I left, one of the partners harassed me for several years via phone calls, text messages, and hand written letters mailed to my home trying to get me to turn my heathen ways around.

    One of those letters said something asking the lines that while I had chosen eternal damnation for myself, I owed an opportunity of salvation to my daughter, so I needed to bring her to this church.

    I don’t remember how many years this continued, but it finally stopped.

    The hell is the matter with these people?



  • I had an Apple ][+ in 1982 and an Apple ][c in 1984.

    Cost less is a relative term depending on application.

    They were cheaper than full business model IBM computers (who hadn’t much entered into the home computer market) but significantly more expensive than other home offerings such as commodore or (shudder) radio shack.





  • A more sustainable, but way more difficult than it seems game is power hour. There should be multiple versions of it on YouTube. At least there were circa 2010.

    It plays a song for a minute, then changes to another song for a minute, then another and so on over sixty minutes.

    Every time the song changes, you take a shot of beer.

    When I was in college about three hundred years ago, it was called the century club and went for one hundred minutes, but since we didn’t have YouTube back then, it was just watching the clock. Amazing how fast that God damned second game can move.



  • By get shot sixteen times, OP means that Roxanne came on, so he and the burglar immediately proceeded to get WRECKED playing the Roxanne drinking game. Sixteen shots didn’t even get him through the first chorus.

    For those who don’t know:

    How to play the Roxanne drinking game All you need to play is a sound system of some sort, and the song ‘Roxanne’ by The Police. Next, you split everybody up into 2 teams (usually boys on one team, girls on the other). The girls drink when they hear the word ‘Roxanne’, and the boys drink when they hear ‘put on a red light’. Doesn’t sound like much of a drinking game, right? Wrong! It’s unbelievable how many times The Police repeat these lyrics in the song and so this game can be a good laugh if played occasionally.
