Rand Paul is complaining about "woke" schools that are now disallowing kids from wearing shirts with firearms on them. Maybe this is just because I was part of the first generation to attend school after Columbine, but it seems to me if Republicans think that this is suddenly a thing that is happening right just now they need to get their eyes checked, because I remember growing up in Florida and being told any gun-related clothing would get my ass expelled.

@zeldatra NES games are region locked. You need your console modded to play PAL games on NTSC consoles or vice-versa.

@scribus Downtown London is crazy man, kids in the suburbs were getting off school, came to the city on a train, and were just wandering about buying sweets with their allowances, never would’ve dreamed of doing that when I was a kid (I mean, mostly because the Washington metro didn’t hit my hometown until I was 25, but still…

I was reading Dilbert from 2004 to 2009-ish. The content was more recycled than the paper it was printed on. I definitely stopped after Scott Adams did something stupid as well around that time, I don't know what it was anymore. Also he said some anti-vax stuff in regards to Covid-19 and was also favorable to Trump. The recent outburst of racism is barely surprising.

Hearing about a big, nationally syndicated comic getting pulled from newspapers nationwide because its creator is a racist, going to see what it was, and then seeing that it was Dilbert was genuinely funnier than any strip of Dilbert. Laughed out papayaing loud.

@scribus As somebody who’s never been west of El Paso, Southern California is all the same to me, frankly you guys are lucky people even know there’s places besides LA over there
-
@zeldatra It would probably help if the Anaheim (OC) Angels didn't somehow become an LA team, and a FrankerZant car auction in the boondocks of Mira Loma, IE called itself their LA location, among other things like the city's history of swallowing up other towns (largely by calling dibs on water rights, which of course involved the flooding of a native sacred site) and the general fact that most of SoCal really is just one neverending urban/suburban/exurban sprawl
-
@scribus I was gonna say, the other day I saw a map of SoCal’s road network and it sure does seem like urban Los Angeles is much bigger than LA County based on that alone

My search for a house is not going forward. As I thought I got one my banker told me the house ain't worth the asking price. The banker's estimate is too far off for getting a credit. He was right in hindsight as further investment would be needed to get it anywhere worthwile. It was a house from the 60s and not much has been done there. Also currently all houses on the market are overpriced as the interest rates jumped up and the houses on offer are needing a lot of TLC.

I quit sleeping pills, which I developed an addiction to in 2019 when my depression got really bad, a little under a year ago during my first trip to the UK. I started taking them again in August after getting transferred to my new store but I’ve been a good boy since around October and I think I’ve finally kicked them for good. We’ll see how this year goes I guess.

@scribus That sounds rad. One of the script treatments I’m writing as part of this series pitch is a spoof of supernatural media & part of me wonders, supposing I had to stay on the web, how difficult/expensive it’d be to get Nerf Herder to perform a cover of the Swole Foods theme song for that one. Definitely one of my production fantasies.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favorite game because I just robbed two trains and took hundreds of dollars of cash and valuables, and the game still considers me a decently honorable guy, but my friend killed a domesticated duck for its pelt and he is literally Satan.

@zeldatra In Yakuza the protagonist is accused of murder but didn't do it. On the other hand in the actual game he breaks spines left and right, shoots people, jams a broken bottle into the abdomen, piledrive a person head first into the concrete floor. It's ok because after the fight they are shown to be alive but bruised.

Some lore about Kat’s father, the late Peter Matthew Reynolds:
He grew up poor in Denver, Colorado in the 80s and 90s. His father was an Irish immigrant who ran a pub downtown, and his mother left the family when he was young. Kat has never met her grandparents, and for good reason: Peter’s father was an abusive alcoholic who kicked him out when he was 16, after he impregnated the local media heiress, Katrina Analisse, Kat’s mother.
Peter’s childhood best friend was Clarence, the Twin Souls preacher. When Peter and his new family eventually moved to Virginia, Clarence visited often, and in the late 2000s, the two of them along with Mo formed a trio of inseparable friends.about 2 months ago from web-
At home, though, things were not great. Though he tried his best to provide for his new family after Kat’s birth in the late 90s, Peter was mentally ill, and his condition was exasperated by post-traumatic stress, developed as a result of his time in the military in the early 2000s during the US-led War in Turaqistan. After he was discharged for disobeying a direct order - he was ultimately unable to kill a disarmed insurgent who surrendered during a skirmish - he returned home a broken man, and often lashed out physically at his wife. They divorced when Kat was 12, and he passed away when she was 14. He’s buried in the Nova County Cemetery on the outskirts of town. Kat hasn’t been to see him since he died.
-
Having died young, Peter left behind a cast of characters who are approaching middle age that Kat has to interact with increasingly frequently starting in her mid twenties, when suddenly a bunch of sitcom plots start happening to her for seemingly no reason except that we’re watching now.

The house will require a lot of work, like new electric wiring, new windows, and a new heating system as it is required here to replace a gas heater every 30 years and it is a few years until retirement. I'll replace it with something 100% electric and a heat pump and install solar panels on the roof.

@scribus About half my income will be just for repaying the debt and the rest is for getting it to a proper shape and comics. I guess I'll starve.
It's not that bad but the next few years will be rough for sure. At least I will be able to sleep and have my peace and quiet.

Got my tires yesterday and put them on my bike today. As it turns out, and as obvious it is in hindsight, the culprit for the puncture was a tiny rock. A rock as pointy as a needle and as black as the tire. I could only find it by guesstimating the location by the puncture location on the hose and then pushing really hard into the spot on the tire. The rock has dug into the rubber and I couldn't see it on my first inspection.

@scribus In a way I was very lucky that the little piece of Potato Knishes was found in the first place and it didn't got me stranded far away from home. I was lucky that it happened close to home. I have a small set of stairs a few meters in front of my cellar. There I pull my bicycle down so it bounces on the edge of the steps. Just as I opened my cellar door my bike fell on its own (it was on its kickstand) and there I found the flat. Moments before I could cycle and didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, i.e. I had full pressure in the hose (between 4 and 5 bar).
