"I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you're going to hear about it!"

Glad everyone is still here (Dr. Schild lanced someones late in the year. For that I am grateful.)

My hope for 2019 is modest: I don’t want to ever hear the term blockchain in my org ever again.  Good luck folks in 2019.

Oooooh, I got some gripes.

But naw, I'm just hoping to transition out of juggalos and into uh, not juggalos.

I will gladly take a year of Juggalos if we can never hear of Proud Boys again.

Yeah, they both vape. So.

Happy Hapiness to you all.

My gift haul was p good for the season.

Three flights of carpet runners
Steambucks
A shirt to fill up the bag that had steambucks in it
A credit card sized weapon

Shopping for me is impossible.

Hope everyone had a good day, even if this isn't a day that you particularly celebrate as a day.

I generally have a bland holiday, by my design but this year was actually a pretty good one. I'll probably be dead in a few months, so start bidding on who gets my stuff.

Mine was pretty good. I got a couple of interesting books and some clothes. And I actually managed to stay in peoples company for quite a bit this year before running away.

I had a decent Christmas, nice and relaxing. I can definitely say that 2018 can get fucked and I'm glad to see the back of it.

You say that every year.

Still waiting for a year that doesn't suck to come along.  :why_so_serious:

What an optimist! :awesome_for_real:

My daughter is about to turn 1 (youngest of 3), so 2019 will see my daughter turn 6 and enter the 1st grade, my son turn 4 and figure out different ways to make weapons out of everything while also building a fascination for LEGOs. I might finally get more sleep in 2019.

No grievances though. Wish Walt Disney World vacations didn't require a bank loan.

Juggalos are the future. For only their facepaint will help us evade facial recognition in our ever-looming not-quite-cyberpunk dystopia. (https://thinkprogress.org/juggalos-are-very-powerful-406ee2282d49/) Fuck the vaping and the Faygo, tho'

Mostly a good year here. Realigned some of my priorities and found some cool shit.

I still love most of you chucklekfucks too.

Since it was mentioned: I don't think WDW is expensive enough. Way too many people there when I went.

My grievances are probably not everyone's grievances and so I will keep quiet.

WDW is crazy in that everyone goes there.  I have travelled there from Minnesota five times and every time we get there we randomly meet someone my wife or I know.  What are the odds on that?

When I went a few years ago we walked right past really good friends of the family in one of the parks. Crazy. Like we had seen them a week ago at happy hour.

HH folks. I set up my old PC for my son and bought him WoW and D3, so be on the lookout for a new batch of Blizzard friend requests as I search for someone to PL me  :awesome_for_real:

It’s not surprising, I’ve had the same thing happen on Kauai which doesn’t get nearly the same volume of traffic as Orlando

I came home from visiting my family for Christmas and one of the cats had taken a big pee in the bath tub.  This is not the first time he's left us presents there.

Good place for that to happen tho.

Best possibility.

We have run into people we know at WDW and other places. Last time we went, I found out via a friend that another friend-plus-large-family was there at the same time but we didn't run into each other somehow.

Happy New Year, you bunch of butt plugs.

happy new year

Happy New Year, even to the people who are wrong. Except that guy.

Happy New Year you rat bastards. May your 2018 be an improvement.

Happy New Year, you misanthropic bastards, and I hope the shit waits at least another year to hit the fan. Good luck, we're gonna need it.

--Dave

I like how the wrong year struck even before the stupid ball fell in NYC.  :awesome_for_real:

Anyways, Happy New Year to all my random internet people.  Yes, even you.

Now back to the work grind.

Hey all, Happy New Year and such.

Random gift related thought - I got a Sous Vide machine for Christmas. Made the best steak I've had at home in three years the other day (Can't use the grill - old wooden building).

Nice, You can also use it as a temperature control for C-41 chemicals in case you want to develop your own colour negative film at home (it's what I use mine for).

Wow.

I had a great 2018. I don't know how 2019 will top it. Given that, I'd like the universe to spread the good stuff to you people instead.

If I can file a grievance, it would be this:  I want mainstream media to stop using words like "shreds", "slams", "evicerates", etcetera, when one person on social media makes a comment that appears to challenge or be in contradiction to something said by another person on social media.  This is the modern day equivalent of Internet Tough Guy, and it annoys the fuck out of me.  More often then not, it is a one-sided event.  "Celebrity A absolutely shreds Politician B in a new twitter comment!"  Uh, no they didn't.  They safely threw out a comment from the safety of their PC or phone or whatever, and there is zero chance that Politician B gives a half a shit or is even aware of the comment.  And if given the chance in a fair environment, Politician B would probably get the better of that person ten times out of ten.

This isn't limited to celebrities and politicians, it is all fucking human beings.  Or one Kardashian to another.  It drives me up a wall.  You didn't "slam" anyone, motherfucker.

I am going to start using it in my F13 posting from now on, until this stops.  "Ah shit!  SirT just absolutely OBLITERATED Schild by correcting him on some mundane fact about the Pope!" or whatever.

Agreed. If I see eviscerated in a headline, I need to see the stringy innards in someone's hands. "Cher Eviscerates Lindsay Graham Over A Long List of His Bullshit!" Let's do that.

It should go without saying that this includes things like "claps back", "throws shade" and "shuts down" when used in the same general context.  Also, neither the internet nor twitter in specific should ever "lose it".

"internet troll comments on fitness model's flabby buttocks and twitter loses it!"

"Breaks the internet" is my least favorite cultural thing maybe ever?

Like, look Kim - we already saw you get fucking pounded on tape, none of your pictures are gonna break shit. Also you got more airbrush going on than a fucking sidewalk artist slanging paintings on wooden boards in the 90s that they harvested from a construction site.

Anyway. Nothing ever broke the internet.

This has nothing to do with 2018. I don't even know when that shit happened, I just know I haven't complained about it til now.

Dude, you just threw some serious shade at Kim K, and I, for one, am totally losing it.

I am glad we are all on the same page with this.  It just seems to have accelerated in 2018, not only getting exponentially worse on the average "news" site, but also creeping into some of the more traditional (and theoretically more respectable) media outlets.

These last few posts are giving me life.

No, they're not. Fuck off.  :grin:
