I have never been on a road like the one in the picture.

I’d have a nervous breakdown.

I only recently started. I should have played it years ago. Man oh man. It’s everything I needed.

A couple billion years from our point of view.

Dude doing the programming hasn’t even left for lunch yet.

I know. It makes me so sad.

Something I will say about my landlord though, I’ve never seen a harder worker. That dude doesn’t stop.

Still though, he makes money for nothing across the board.

I have paid him for a whole ass house at this point. You know how many times he’s had to work on anything at my place? 0.

Just collect money and throw it in the bank for absolutely nothing.

I’ve actually single handedly paid for half of his one apartment building at this point.

It’s crazy to me that it’s like this.

If my landlord has to miss one trip in his giant RV I will just bawl my eyes out.

Poor guy.

Your mom is a country.

The interview I seen, he was talking about declassifying anything but the Epstein files for fear of hurting innocent people with phony stuff.

You know what. Fuck if, I’m gonna find it.

Man, the cameras and the constantly being connected to everyone has flipped the world upside down.

I get it. I just put cameras up because a neighbor came over to tell me that some man was peaking into my 16 year old daughter’s window.

I just wish we had done all of this differently.

I don’t know. Just getting old I guess. It’s hard to see this as better.

I’ve always thought about this comment that Kurt Cobain made, he was talking about going into thrift stores and finding little treasures, and after he became wealthy that was over for him. He was bored with getting whatever he wanted.

We now live in a time where even the rarest shit is just a click away. Nothing about the world seems special anymore.

I don’t know. I remember my grandparents talking about this kind of thing. Maybe I’m just getting old. I just wish my kids could have the freedom that I had, completely and totally.

Ok, alright. This is one of the most interesting things I’ve ever read in my life.

I don’t know that I agree with you 100%, and even though some of what you said gave me pause, A lot of what you said made me think.

I mean, kids are easily manipulated. The wrong kind of people could take advantage of things, and even if you think you have all of your bases covered, people will surprise you.

I mean, this is definitely worth thinking about. I knew abused kids when I was growing up that had no power. The friend that I mentioned in one of the comments above, he lived In constant hell, had no one seriously advocating for him, and would have been trapped in that situation if his parents hadn’t been put in prison.

I don’t know that I agree that children should be able to vote. When I was a child, if I had been able to vote, I didn’t know a damn thing about politics, and I didn’t fucking care, but my parents sure as shit did. I believed that I was a little warrior for Jesus and I’m an atheist now. I would seriously regret any votes that I would’ve made as a child.

I don’t know, I wish that the person who downvoted you hadn’t downvoted you, I wish they had shared their views on the matter.

This is a very interesting subject

Man, I got into smoking too. Still have the habit.

We robbed a delivery truck and took several boxes of camel cigarettes. Our little clubhouse was amazing. We built it from old chicken pens and an old chicken coop. The walls were made from an old above ground swimming pool. The backside had a floor, the front was just dirt. We had a couch, a tv, an N64, and an extension cord we ran across the creek and hung from a tree to power it all.

We hid the cigarettes under the floorboards, along with a poorly dried pot plant we stole from the best grower in town (who eventually started putting signs in front of them, “don’t steal this one, don’t steal this one, steal this one”).

My god I’d love to go back for a little while.

?

Do say more please. If nothing else, this is an interesting idea.

I’m an older millennial. My gen x mom let me go wherever I wanted. If I wasn’t back when she said to be, she’d come find me and beat my ass.

I fortunately grew up in a neighborhood with sidewalks, but we went well beyond our neighborhood.

Shit, I walked 10 miles to a gas station along the railroad tracks to meet girls and steal beer when I was 12 years old. Eventually one was built right in front of my house and I didn’t have to go that far anymore, thank goodness.

I wouldn’t have learned to navigate people if I hadn’t had such freedom. I can see trouble coming from a mile away. I would imagine inexperience will make for some naive people when it comes to knowing danger.

Some people do abuse it. I didn’t get how for a long time. I’ve been taking it for a decade or better now and I swear I get nothing from it but avoiding withdrawal.

An old friend shot it up though and died from a heart infection because of it.

I am currently babysitting a 13 year old boy almost every day. Why? Because CPS says he can’t be alone.

He’s mature. He’s smart. He’s quiet. He is COMPLETELY capable of taking care of himself. His dad works 6 hour shifts at most.

The issue is, his dad went to jail for drugs. He’s been sober, he’s been working, he’s been fighting like hell to provide a decent life for his kids.

He’s not allowed to have his girlfriend around them, so he’s paying for two apartments and they can only spend time together coming up when the boy is in school.

I mean, sure, the dad hasn’t been a saint. But man oh man, they’re doing everything the can to make sure he fails.

He was taking suboxone, got the shot instead, realized he wasn’t experiencing withdrawal and dropped that. Well, now he has to prove that he will have detectable amounts in his system for up to a year, and then they’re going to MAKE him go back on suboxone to keep his son.

It’s madness the hoops some people have to jump through, meanwhile a childhood friend was starved and beaten regularly and they wouldn’t remove him from the home until his parents burned down a neighbor’s house and went to prison for arson.

When we were kids and we’d discuss what we wanted to be when we grew up, his answer was, “my mom’s murderer.”

When she did pass, he cried his eyes out for never reaching out to her and was one of the pallbearers.

I don’t get why things have to be such a mess.

Anecdotal, I know.

Still, I think it’s pretty important that I share it.

I worked at a gas station on Jan 6 in an area that gave Trump very close to 90% of the vote. I seen two reactions from the common people. “I can’t believe they’re doing this and he’s doing nothing to stop it.” And, “Good! I’d rather have a Trump dictatorship than a Biden presidency.”

Even the ones who were shocked and appeared to be facing the last straw were thoroughly brainwashed by the end of the week. “It was ainteefuh, they just want to make Trump look bad!” Even years later, when the so called “antifa” got a blanket pardon Trump, it never dawned on them.

The ones who called for a dictatorship are watching with glee as democracy is dismantled. They believe they are going to get a Christian nation. They believe that all of the things they don’t like will be illegal. They are donating money to the men who are working to make this happen. They are bragging about it openly and getting their friends involved.

This comment is batshit insane and I love it.

lol

Oh no I stand by the comment. It’s still a batshit insane post.

For me, that would be some very cold food by the time I got to eat it.

I always put my phone on my steering wheel and watch tv. I’m a stay at home dad, my kids know all about my day haha.

Well now I feel like an idiot.

I’ve never ate there. Always assumed.
