Yeah that’s him. Love that dude.

That my game bro!!! I love that shit.

If y’all don’t know what it is, look up the dude who makes divorced dads on YouTube.

I love that guy.

Yeah I tormented my poor daughter with it when she was younger. I did not have the patience to get her through it lol.

Now that she’s older we do great.

I’ve been playing Zombies Ate My Neighbors on original hardware today haha. On my old Apple color monitor.

I mostly game on old systems or my steam deck.

This is a great idea. But only used stuff from the community with cash.

That helps the community and your kids will get an awesome Christmas.

My wife is a hard one to budge, but I’m gonna talk to her about it.

I’ll shit on your shit and they can eat my shit too.

It was ripped directly from my cd at 320kbps and played on an iPod 5th generation (iPod video).

Not OP, but I promise you that I can hear what sounds like digital water being thrown over the cymbals when listening to mp3 files below 320 kbps. Even then, every now and then I hear that sound here and there across whatever record I’m listening to.

I don’t experience it when listening to records, CDs, or cassettes.

My hearing used to be very sensitive. When the whole world was using CRTs, I could tell you who had their tv on just standing outside their house.

I thought it didn’t sound any different to me too. That is until me and a friend were riding around listening to Icky Thump by The White Stripes for a few weeks when it first came out.

Higher bitrate, ripped directly from the CD, pretty decent car radio.

We had been listening to my copy, he didn’t own it yet.

We stopped at a record store one day when we were out and he picked up his copy. He wanted to play the CD for whatever reason, and when he stuck the disc in, “berderwiddledod dahta dah BOOM BOOM BOOM”.

I couldn’t believe it. It was like the record just sucked the power out of us both and used it to burst through the speakers.

The mp3, by comparison, sounded shrunk down from the source and splashed with water.

It didn’t change my listening habits because of convenience, but damn. It was an eye opener.

He did this last time too.

I pulled one out of an old laptop and bought an adapter for that purpose. :p Adapter was like 5 bucks.

Me too haha. One of the first things I install.

I get it. I left Facebook when they changed the feed like a thousand years ago and I haven’t missed it.

My wife is definitely addicted though. She left it for a year, went back just to check in on family after a friend of hers had a baby and she didn’t know about it. She hasn’t put it down since.

She’s a very family oriented person and everyone is on Facebook. Their family is the type to wake up first thing in the morning and start calling each other.

Within minutes of being up, “Ok kids let’s talk to mamaw. Let’s talk to aunty. Now we’re calling great grandma!” Cousins, aunts, uncles, everybody. They’re always talking.

My family is tight like if something goes wrong, but we don’t talk much otherwise. Sister needs help with a bill, someone’s car breaks down, blah blah blah. We can count on each other, just not to talk.

I get why it means so much to her and why it’s been easier for me. I’ll know my cousin had a kid when I bump into her with it at the grocery store. That’s good enough for my people. :p

Edit:

Not that anyone will see this, but we were talking about it tonight and I was dead wrong. She missed her cousins wedding. That’s why she went back, she’s still very sad about it.

I like the neck tie myself.

A gay made me uncomfortable. That was god talking to me, you know. :/

That’s the thing that bothers me most with religious folks.

Their feelings are interpreted as the will of god.

Bedbug bus? :p

Just gimme what I know. The kids can hit those newer layouts.

My brain isn’t up to the task of learning a new finger language.

Edit:

And just for fun. Did anyone else type their thoughts when they first began mastering typing?

I-t (space) d-r-o-v-e (space) m-e (space) i-n-s-a-n-e (space) f-o-r (space) a (space) l-o-n-g (space) t-i-m-e.

I can type super fast because of it though. I be out here on leaderboards haha.

Yeah my dad never bothered me with that, but boy oh boy my mom does.

That was the biggest part of their struggle. My dad was a wild animal and my mom should’ve married a preacher.

She’s married to a man who sees the world like she does now. He’s a good dude and he’s perfect for her. She spent 30 years trying to make it work with my dad.

I like my mom’s husband, but stories could be written about my dad (wasn’t my father, just raised me).

He lived a life that would make some award winning movies look like Sesame Street.

My dad was the dumbest man I ever knew and he still had wonderful advice sometimes.

I mean, I can say that to you here and you can only imagine with the limited data, but my dad was duuuuuuumb.

There is value in our idiot parents. We just have to find it.

Oh now, come on. My family believes some bizarre shit and I’m glad they did enough of the hibbity dibbity to get me here.
