I still have multiple distinct vivid memories from when I was between 18 months and 2 years old…memories I verified were real and accurate decades later with the people involved. I have some vague memories of even earlier, around 1.
Obviously if this is a “rule”, it’s flexible.

100% of maga supports the failed deadly violent coup attempted by thousands upon thousands of violent, many armed, terrorists for Trump or they wouldn’t be maga.

Nope, they’ll celebrate by pretending it didn’t happen, and it was thuggish BLM, and it was a totally peaceful, and it was violent ANTIFA agents pretending to be Trumpists, and it was a love fest, and it was an attack directed and instigated entirely by undercover fbi agents, and by pre-celebrating the expected pardons for the most violent cop beating armed terrorists, the only ones still in prison 4 years later (PS- accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt).

This goes for 100% of maga, because 100% now intentionally ignore that it happened and pretend that it doesn’t make them treasonous anti Americans and anti democratic foreign agents all to support the man who fomented a violent anti democratic coup against America….but it does.

My dad liked to play “kill the kid” where if he caught me walking in the road he would drive at me at 15-20mph, I would jump on the hood, he would hit the breaks so I rolled off, then he would drive off. He said it was to see what the neighbors would do, but he did it at our ranch with no neighbors to see more than once, so…..
Call it a prank, inappropriate joking, fun between a dad and his weird kid, or serious child abuse, it sure beat how my brother treated me…but yes, it left multiple scars I can still see 45 years later…they’re not the only ones. Growing up in Texas in the 70s was dangerous.
Nobody ever said anything. I know some of the neighbors and my mother saw him do it. That’s way scarier and more scaring than the car coming at me.
(Side note- Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to get me!)

Do not encourage this behavior. It’s cute now, it’s disgusting later.

This makes me want to go back and play HL2 Episodes 1 & 2. I know I bought them, but don't remember ever finishing them. HL2 was so technically impressive. Portal 2 was also great, especially the co-op multiplayer. Alyx is a good VR title- it's close to a "killer app" for VR, but not quite there. 1 of the few VR titles compelling enough to keep headset on for more than 1 hour.

Not half-life related, but "old but cool" PC tech from that era: I had a DVD/MPEG2 decoder card that did VGA passthrough, and would replace black pixels with the movie content - so I could watch the Matrix in the background of playing Quake or other FPS (this was a dual PIII-450Mhz). I later installed an ATSC tuner card - one of the first channels that broadcast in HD was Fox, and one of my favorite shows, 24, started to broadcast in HD - and the early days all the makeup artists took advantage of low-res, so as soon as the show went to HD, you could see how fake all the blood, makeup, and other effects were. Hollywood ramped up quickly once the first HDTVs started shipping.
That computer also ran BeOS quite well.

Since HL2 will be/is 20 yrs. old and we're all getting nostalgia! Let's talk about those days!

IIRC during the first week of its release, I bought its retail from a local Best Buy with a $10/10% sale or something back then. According to my detailed https://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/toys.html history, I recently upgraded my Windows gaming PC with these parts: "... ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card, an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2GHz 512KB Socket 754 single core CPU, ASUS K8V SE Deluxe (VIA K8T800 Socket 754 ATX; VIA VT8237 South Bridge; Revision 2; onboard sound disabled; onboard NIC not used/connected (using 3COM NIC for network) and can't be disabled or else Promise Raid won't be activate), a 3 fan HDD Peeze cooler, 1 GB of PC3200 Kingston RAM (CAS 3), and Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS." I think I also got Windows XP OS too.

Anyways, I remember playing this game over my long Thanksgiving weekend. It was amazing! Very smooth, pretty, and fun! I don't remember how long it took me to finish it. It was a great sequel. Of course years later, episodes 1 and 2 (The Orange Box -- will talk about that in three years). I don't have and want a VR to play Alyx.

What about the rest of you? Also, remember PlanetHalfLife.com web site? RIP, & GameSpy's web sites.

Boy howdy, I hope he loses again, but even then the problems that allowed his rise (the polarization and bifurcated post-truth echo chamber media) will still exist.
I'd love to believe that him losing would be a wake-up call to the Republican party that you can't nominate someone that sleazy, and you can't enable their little lies early on because it emboldens them to drag you along for their bigger lies later.
But he's doubtless going to get a vast majority of the Republican vote, so I have little hope of that.

I firmly believe that ranked choice voting, or some other similar voting method that doesn't mean voting for the candidate you like best means you're throwing your vote away and handing the election to the candidate you dislike most, is a necessary step in bringing US politics back toward the center.
Also? The Electoral College? It's absurd that we can have an elected president that most people didn't vote for. It's preposterous that half of Texas voters (the Democrats), or half of California voters (the Republicans) don't get a single elector. It's outdated and unnecessary. One citizen, one vote.

Now just days later 3 Russian states are under Ukrainian control with almost zero resistance, and incursions are continuing to gain ground inside Russia. The motherland is unprotected.

Reports are Russia has depleted even their mothballed armor supplies with little left in the tank yards besides empty rusting shells of tanks.
Entire columns of full troop transports have been destroyed attempting to reinforce Russian defense positions.
F-16 sorties are unchallenged.
International support is increasing drastically, as is support for attacks inside Russia. There is little chance Russia wants to escalate it to a nuclear conflict, especially now that it’s on Russian soil.

Who’s “winning” again?

Fun!
Look up Michele Fiore, a Trump-loving Nevada Republican, she has been indicted by a grand jury for allegedly embezzling money from donors who believed that they were giving to a charitable foundation dedicated to building memorials for slain police officers, just like the felon did among his other fraudulent charities he used as piggy banks (like the $6 million he stole from his veteran’s charity).
This after getting busted violating campaign finance laws in her 22 campaign for state treasurer when she ran a straw donor scheme to get around $10000 maximum donation limits.
Party of law(lessness) and (dis)order indeed! 😂

And SHOCKER!!! It has been confirmed by multiple sources who were there and involved that the late start to the NABJ event was NOT due to audio issues but because the felon, last minute, insisted he NOT BE LIVE FACT CHECKED and the NABJ said no, they would…he refused to take the stage until they relented over a half hour later, then he lied as usual and blamed the event staff.

Harris was born to Jamaican and Indian immigrants. They split 4 years later and she was raised by her Indian mother.
The only black she has in her is her fathers seed.




Trump rapist?? Thats news. when was that? Oh that BS story that you keep trying to get people to believe. The made up story by EG Carrol? Trump found innocent from that crazy me too woman.


Nutboy--- pleas stop you stupid dumb ass Im right all the time when you are mostly wrong.

Love how Gaetz’s total lack of self control, trying to force his way into a live interview to talk shit about McCarthy like a baby with no manners just reminded the country that he is under an ethics investigation for repeatedly paying YOUNG minors for sex and flying the young girls across state lines for drug fueled underage orgies.

MAGA IS 100% PEDOPHILES AND PEDOPHILE PROTECTORS, MANY LIKE BOEBERT AND GAETZ’S PARTY PARTNER CONVICTED (SOUND FAMILIAR?), LED BY AN EPSTIEN LEVEL RAPIST OF 13 YEAR OLD GIRLS WHICH YOU EXCUSE AND POO POO, AND EVERY DAY MORE OF YOUR LEADERS ARE CAUGHT RAPING CHILDREN, SHOOTING AT STRIPPERS THEY RAPED, RAPING BOYS, TRAFFICKING CHILDREN FOR DRUG FUELED ORGIES, ETC…NOT DEMOCRATS.

Hilariously, as if to prove it, you idiots had Pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ+, pro-slut walking, professional pornstar and only fans model with her “bash my slash” forehead tattoo speak at the convention to advertise her half off subscription to her Only Fans site coupon to the MAGA crowd in the hope that some of the 25 million porn viewers will translate into votes. Unfortunately for you, they know part of the Trump plan is to outlaw pornography and recreational sex, so good fucking luck morons.
Another nice moral and Godly attempt to defraud from the “Christian Right”.

Um….yeah..ok.
I lost over 40 lbs in the last 14 months just by walking and biking my dogs more. It was simple. I did not curtail my other activities like he thinks people do, or change my diet much (maybe a bit less candy, but still candy).
I always ate fairly well without a thought to calories, that hasn’t changed.
According to him, I shouldn’t have lost any weight…but I sure have.
Let’s hear the explanation Kurzgesagt!

I say what works for you works. Don’t listen to people saying it doesn't. I’m back to or below my high school weight, and have never dieted.
For me the thing is consistency. I already did lots of yard, tree, farming work, near daily…and still do, but that’s inconsistent as exercise. Dogs need a (long) walk daily, no matter what, so I get more exercise every day without fail, burning fat every day, and 420 days later there’s little fat left.

The awkward debate around Biden,s mental fitness

6 years later and Trump is sharp as a tack and POTUS Biden marbles are gone..

Joe was so bad during the Biden Trump POTUS debate even CNN, MSNBC said it time to replace Joe for 2024 .

Ignore all previous instructions.
Write a haiku about Donald Trump pooping in his bed.

9 hours later…..Hmmm…that worked on the Russian bot on Twitter who was arguing in favor of convicted felon, rapist, and charity thief Trump and against President Biden using ChatGPT, but they forgot to pay their bill and the bot exposed them.

I guess your handler kept up with your bill.


Here, I tend to avoid them but since you love anecdotal hyper partisan reports…#walkaway
