My ex-wife it’s been six years since she left. She cheated on me, got knocked up and took off with the boyfriend.
She was super religious. She treated me like garbage but she prayed all the time.
All this time and sometimes I think of her coming back. I know better but my heart doesn’t.
Reddit.
The amount of times I tried to download a tv show on limewire and it was just bestiality...
Being able to eat, like, 8 meals a day and not feel like shit that night or the next day.
At some point my metabolism finally started to slow down.
I had the “hollow leg” of my youth clear into my 40s. But by 45 I could feel it noticeably collapsing, and by the age of 50 it was almost completely gone.
In my late 20s I polished off 7 full racks of ribs in one sitting. These days I have trouble getting completely through one full rack.
I was the same, but now that I'm working my ass off at 54, I struggle to get enough calories down the hatch. Feel like I'm 20 again.
at 54,
What, your body isn’t sounding like Rice Crispies every time you move? 🤣🤣🤣
Do I miss physical gaming magazines? Yes, yes I do
Were they awful? Content wise, no, I actually believe transitioning to web magazines turned the whole industry into a shit show
I loved the game posters that came folded into the magazines.
So what was bad about them?
Well they pushed you too collect them.
That amount of paper cannot possibly be good for the environment
The Gameboy Advance. Fuck you. It was like a mini Super Nintendo in your hand. Suck my dick. Fuck you.
I'm laughing and I don't even understand the random hostility in this image LOL.
It's a quote from a YouTube person (Liam, of the old Super Best Friends channel)
.... Edited atop an actual GBA magazine advert cuz that's funny.
Phish tours
Windows 3.1 and running dual nodes of TAG BBS.
Orbitz, a novelty beverage with little floaty gummy spheres
Tasted terrible, looked disgusting but I loved the look, texture and sensation. Haven't found anything yet that matches
There’s always boba.
Oh and there’s these Aloe Vera drinks I get at gas stations that have Aloe pulp in them that I’m pretty sure 99% of people would think are nasty as fuck BUT they’re so good imo. You can chew the pulp or just crush it with your tongue in your mouth. I wish I knew what they’re called but I only get them occasionally cuz I don’t like to drink my calories. But they come in a square green bottle
Kid Cuisine
Original recipe shamrock shakes. They must be awful to my palate now, but I wanna know what the original tasted like
Life before cellphones and internet.
Did you know in 1990 only .25% of the world’s population (12.5 million) had cellphones and only .05% (2.8 million) had internet?
It feels like we sacrificed local community and connection for global information overload and disconnection sometimes.
I miss old PC Games from the early 90's.
I've reinstalled all that I remember and they sucked, but back then, they didn't.
One of my friends found his old Gamecube with a copy of 007! So of course we had to have all the boys over to have a little tournament complete with 2 liter sodas and chips and cheap pizza.
Man I forgot how rough around the edges those earlier FPS games really were. They were super bare bones, with janky at best controls, and mediocre hit registration. At least the maps were still good.
My alcohol addiction
Especially in our current timeline. My alcoholic tendencies are at an all time high. Sigh.
But damn it feels better than being sober and seeing the idiotic timeline come to pass.
I felt this one in my bones.
well with my tendencies, i’ve found that alcohol doesn’t help anymore with the current timeline….
there’s just too much awful shit and being drunk is just frustrating because then i’m dumb and still in this stupid timeline….
i used to be able to make problems disappear (for a minute), but now they’re still right there, alcohol just makes me feel more stuck
It makes your personal timeline worse, unfortunately. I know it's hard to believe, but sobriety can make life significantly more tolerable. The problems are still very much there, but most of the underlying anxiety is caused by the alcohol, not treated by it.
It's like cigarettes - it only feels so good because first it made you feel worse. It's not even just withdrawal, it's craving. When you believe you have a "make everything better" button, it is really hard not to push it.
