I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I'm still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

I do wish I had bought a laser printer though... There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it's all finished. Mostly reference materials.

Feel free to turn a blind eye to reality, not all of us are priveleged enough to do so.

If I wanted to go through the process of trying to recover my facebook, I guarantee I would get a few dozen people tossing out hand emojis and saying "amen" before anyone notices I'm not talking about the christian god

Well since the US government doesn't own a massive body of water, nor can it truly claim to own a mountain that's been around for 200 million years (I'm not sure of the actual age of the range, I'm just basing off geologic maps of bedrock age) , i hold the "new names" in the same regard as I would if someone intruduced themselves as Bill but some guy keeps yelling at me "HER NAME IS AMY DON'T CALL HER BILL"

I give the crackhead down the street who calls the three block area his "domain" more respect than the US regime.

I still have the VHS I recorded it on back in the day. No vcr, but it's sitting in a box in my closet, waiting for the day when I want to see commercials for SG1 Mondays and other Sci fi shows.

Also the DVD, since I actually want to watch it every so often...

I keep introducing it to new people, but it seems to be a bit of a niche interest.

It must be nice, living in a fantasy world where good people win because they're good and the bad guys get to sit in jail for being bad.

I would love it if we lived in an ideal world where everyone plays by the rules.

I am not naive enough to think we live in that world.

If there's two things I cannot fucking stand, it's people who are intolerant of other's cultures... And the Dutch.

If it's only mildly interesting based on a "watch it right this second or never again"? Maybe 5 minutes, max. If it doesn't capture my interest by minute 5, and I can't find a summary anywhere (NOT "pOwErEd bY AI")

Is it a video about prehistoric humans, their civilizations, a lore video on one of my favorite franchises, or a nature documentary? The current record is 6 hours and 38 minutes.

Well, shit.

I think Putler figured out how to make Trump slam his foot down about Ukranian support.

Dementia Don has already praised this war criminal many times, he believes Putin is a poster child for being a strong man and great leader.

In the current world, we don't care about what you should and shouldn't do to protect yourself, but only about what appears to be proper

We can't actually DO anything, because they haven't officially declared an open war, and defending yourself against attacks just wouldn't be proper

Now please go quietly protest away from anyone that considers it an inconvenience. It's what's proper, you know.

Note: I am from the US and when I say "we" I mean the collective peoples of earth, not to indicate I am from the UK.

I used to play black ops 1 a shitload. I was fresh out of highschool and it was my first online game after getting internet. I already liked FPS games and this was interactive FPS with actual skilled people instead of shitty bullet sponge bots.

As for why people love them so much now? I have no idea. I'm sure I also wouldn't have cared for them if I had played online games earlier in life.

I'd much rather have a compelling story nowadays.

Good example of someone who wasn’t paying attention to an issue until it affected them

"you're just being alarmist and hyperbolic, that would never happen" -Nearly everyone around me, for the last decade or so

 

They aren't around anymore as of this morning, but they liked the hoodie and hat and I thought someone might like to see two doggos.

They were both good girls and I miss them.
