  • I went to NIN, Manson opened and Jim Rose Circus sideshow ran in between.

    I had shitty seats in the back corner of my mid-sized venue. There were parents all around me in the cheap seats. There were no kids with them, but they were obviously looking for their kids.

    The main floor was a sea of 90% under-aged goth chicks smoking.

    The parents were all solemn and quiet.

    Lights went down

    Spot came up, the screeching cheer of 10k girls pierced my eardums. Manson walked out on stage

    MANSON: “HOW MANY 14 YEAR OLD GIRLS WANT TO FUCK ME”

    The GA seats double down on screaming.

    All the parents went from disinterested concern to outright anger.



  • mail with your new address whenever you move

    We don’t do that. Honestly mail theft here is bad enough, I’m not certain that it’d be a good idea.

    Then our ID’s aren’t even free. You’d think that’s all taxes, but it’s not.

    You need to go to the department of motor vehicles with a bunch of proof that you exist just to get a walker’s id. (base state ID card)

    Getting an MVA ID without other documents is hard Getting other documents without an MVA ID is hard Getting government documents without MVA ID and other documents is impossible.

    Used to be the MVA would let you get a license pretty easily. RealID chilled that the fuck out. Now you need to get a birth certificate from your state of birth, (which might require cross-country travel without a drivers license)


  • To get a state ID, (RealID™ you currently need a birth certificate, social security card, and or a passport and mail/bills with your address.

    The cards aren’t free. If you’re poor, or your parents don’t have their shit together you might not have all of that.

    Getting a copy of your birth certificate is not generally free. In many states getting a copy of your birth certificate requires you to go back to the state you’re born in and go to the health department there to get a copy.

    They would usually like to see your state ID.

    To get a replacement social security card, you have to go through the same kind of scenario. I think they are free though.

    If you are from a rural area you need to drive. Everyone around you drives you have family that drives. The poor innercity? They don’t need to drive, can make it through most of not all of life without a license, or by having family member step in to help.

    It’s a tax on the poor non-driving. They also like to close polling areas in the poor areas because they have a hard time getting to remote polling places. Then they like to crack down on people giving people standing in line water.

    These particularly affected poor area disproportionately black.


  • When CD burners first became affordable, I made mixes.

    150 songs. I had a disk that started with pop, moved to metal, back to easy listening and ended with classical.

    What does everyone do? Insert mp3-CD and hit shuffle.

    Megadeath: Sweating Bullets -> Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain King -> MJ Smooth Criminal


  • LOL private chat with 8 people.

    You don’t even need a Derek, all you have to do is have one of the 8 perceive that they are being wronged. One’s mate makes googly eyes at another, next thing you know, it’s all public.

    Never post anything anywhere if it ever getting out will fuck you.

    Nothing is private and you should strive to be the kind of person that doesn’t say shit about other people behind their backs.


  • If you buy one today, sure, a few years ago, before their QC issues and mush really started fucking with the company, they weren’t an awful deal.

    Even the cyberdumpsters, you could have been on a waiting list for 3-4 years and paid a solid downpayment.

    What happens if mush buys out Rivian, all those retroactively turn to shit?

    They’re also probably trapped in a loan. That 50-60k car was financed. it’s now worth 1/3 of it’s original cost. A lot of people who shouldn’t have spent 50k on a car will because monthly payments make it affordable to them, now they sell it and can only replace it with a hundai.













  • Yeah, there’s a lot of lessons in school that we’re not actually ready for. We need some kind of continuing education stuff like they do in the medical profession. When we hit our 30’s and 40’s and our bodies handle food differently, we need those diet courses again. And when we move out of home, we need those finance and home economics classes that haven’t been looked at for a decade.
