It used to be average people participating in the olympics, a long long time ago. before sports medicine and state investment.

Seems to be the definition that most people in power and media use, sadly.

Gasoline has all the calories you need to survive for the rest of your life.

I dont know, but it would involve a gun so I could shoot the fucker that brought me back, and then put myself back to sleep with the second shot.

that shit came in the late 90s, once the normies started getting on the internet.

No, that happened once the corporate interests began to invade the internet.

That shit didnt exist in the early days of the internet.

back when the internet was just a curiousity for weirdos and geeks.

There was no advertising

Every website was a passion project (or a mental illness coughtimecubecough)

There were no search engines. Just “internet yellowpages” that listed links to every known website.

Websites spread via word of mouth and webrings.

Websites had guest books and visitor counters.

your counter hitting 1000 was an actual big deal.

animated gifs and tables were bleeding edge technologies.

I’d give anything for the internet to go back to how it was in the early/mid 90s.

Back before it was corporatized, monetized and before all the gardens started building their walls.

Hurricanes and Tornados can, and do, do the same to refineries too.

precious little done under the cry of “but wont someone think of the children?!” has ever, actually, been done with the children in mind.

Politicians decades ago just found out its easy to demonize opposition, if you masquerade your bullshit power seizing in some child protection lie.

My grandfather was a Ham guy, amongst a great many other brilliant things.

One of many things I wish he’d have lived long enough for me to experience with him.

No one says you gotta play games coming out today.

If you only want to play single player, want it to be cheap, and have a great library of games to play… .Pick up a used PS2 or Gamecube. PS2 lets you play both PS2 and PS1 games, gamecube…if you can find a gameboy adapter for it for cheap, also opens up gameboy/gameboycolor/gameboy advance games. real versatile.

Should be able to find one used online/garage sale/classified for cheap. games are abundant, cheap, and amazing.

anything older is starting to get expensive, and anything newer will typically be always online/online drm checks/etc.

Especially true with how AI is absolutely ruining hardware prices atm, with ram costing as much as goddamn video cards.

Course, thats assuming you want to play on the actual hardware, setting up a retropi for SNES/NES/Genesis/ETC is also viable, bit more fraut trying to find the roms nowadays, though. is the best, most affordable option if you want to play PS1 or older, though.

“It wont start ww2, its just a tiny conflict between germany and poland over Danzig”

its hardly pointless dooming when trump has literally expressed vivid interest in getting rid of elections because he is terrified of losing and facing accountability.

“US Strike team legally ventured to sovereign country to invite its leader on an all expenses luxury vacation while laying at least 80 known victims down for naps”

Because we have to speak softly, and avoid mentioning anything factually accurate, so the perpetually offended don’t get their precious feefees hurt

I believe in the majority rule.

Got more standing pissers than sitting pissers? Seat stays up.

Got more sitting pissers than standing pissers? Seat stays down.

croutons are just stale dry bread with incredible seasoning that taste fantastic*

cant just distract from the epstein files, gotta profit from the distraction to.

cause hes a greedy pig.

Vintage Story is a very different, much more hardcore beast compared to Minecraft.

Cause you’re not cold blooded, or a lobster. So you don’t have the same response to it that they do.
