It’s brutal, honestly. I mean some stuff I gave away or donated when I was younger, but having something I had intentionally kept safe like that stolen really hurt (it was stolen in a move when it was mistakenly put in a storage unit that was broken into within a week).

And it’s not something that I can ever actually replace because I’d only ever really care about the cards I collected with my grandpa.

Realizations like that are hard. I hope you can still find joy in the memories and sharing those experiences with others. It’s a tough journey (and I’m still pretty sore about my loss), but I’m hoping you can still enjoy your memories through emulation if it doesn’t still feel too sour/sore.

Edit: Also, the cost of replacing vintage anything from the 90s is so remarkably prohibitive lol (my collection was realistically worth $6-10k depending on how long someone would want to spend really finding buyers). It really made me feel negatively about the secondhand industries surrounding stuff like this if people are willing to just straight up steal and sell stolen childhood memories.

Absolutely lol I’m so sick of AI psychosis. Cheers, friend!

I’m coming back to this to say that I cannot stop narrating things in his voice, and at this point, I’m not sure I’d want to.

Did the same just now. I liked your message but wanted to change the last line. Also posting what I put in the reason for canceling:

Reason: Bugs Or Quality Issue

Explanation: Poor business practices, antithetical to the stated goals of this company and why I subscribed in the first place. Sad to see further enshitification here from greedy psychotic loser corporate idiots.

Comment: I, like many others will not pay for LLM slop. I am happy to pay PEOPLE for (what was) a good service. I will not pay a fucking computer for sloppy and decoherent code just because “Andy” is a lazy asshole that wants more money without having to pay his people for their hard work and experience. If he decides to fuck off with his AI girlfriend and go live in a data center (preferably one within striking distance of Ukraine), I’ll consider returning as a paying customer. This issue was brought up repeatedly in the forums only to be hidden and deleted, which proves to me that your CEO doesn’t care about his employees or customers or even having a good product, only about money. That is the mark of a true loser and one who will also be losing my subscription.

Within the last year, I had my vintage Pokemon card collection stolen without any leads. I completed that with my grandpa shortly before he died when I was quite young. It was my last physical connection to that time.

This meme hits pretty hard, unironically.

*have ruined

I’ve said this before that MBAs teach people to make the worst decisions possible in any given situation. The critique of the frozen businessmen from Adventure Time is pretty spot on.

Mass Effect 1’s credit outro song led to a rabbit hole of me getting into electronic music over the next six months. It’s not even super dancey but it was enough lol

Most businessmen I know are absolute fucking clowns, so that checks out.

Iceland is an amazing place for both. I would consider Iceland to be more at the forefront of environmental science than Hungary, but I could be surprised.

Eastern Europe is a bit more wild and would be less my cup of tea, but if you’re mainly going for fun, that may be the better option.

Honestly, they did not integrate very far. Obligatory fuck Mormonism.

Iceland is extremely safe and welcoming. Honestly, one of the coolest places I’ve been on the planet. Nothing else like it. The geography and ecology of that island is just cool as hell lol.

The people are all very kind and welcoming and it has a sort of communal vibe that is partly a mix of island and Scandinavian cultures. Awesome place and awesome people.

It is expensive. That is the only thing I would say is a drawback. For me, I think it is definitely worth it.

Honestly, I don’t even eat mammal protein. The entendre was just too good to pass up.

*pig.

Feel free to use different sausage for preference as well. I like mild Italian or breakfast style for most of my gravies, but we have a couple people in my family who have gastro issues with spice from any actual peppers, so that’s a must for us lol.

There’s a packet included with each:)

We all blipped.

I just had a dude cut me off by barreling through three lanes of traffic with no blinker and then brake check me through the right turn in an intersection only to go ten miles per hour under the speed limit on the next street and hog the left turn lane.

Fuck cars. Fuck unsafe drivers.

I agree. Not many cats even use collars. I thought they were the relic of some optimistic veterinary practices lol
