Donald John Trump comes from a family of real estate speculators.

Akira Toriyama once said he based the character of Freeza on Japanese real estate speculators, who he called "the worst kind of people." (Source)

Am I saying Trump is Freeza? No, Freeza is several orders of magnitude more competent on his worst day than Trump was when he peaked in 1951. But I think it's important to underline, for the people in the back, what level of cartoonish evil we're dealing with, because for some reason people will read stuff like this and it won't sink in. Maybe DBZ will help.

I don't know. I'm tired, y'all.

+1 for Archinstall. I'm a Linux noob and getting everything set up was a cinch. Even had a spot to put in my address so I can get my first pair of thigh length striped socks from the AUR.

^that ^was ^a ^joke.

Oh hey, I was having this issue. Changed the audio to OpenAL, restarted, and haven't had any problems since. Might be worth a try if you haven't already.

Houston native spotted. I'm so sorry.

But this behaviour isn't really new - I used to work at the Whole Foods on Kirby, which caught fire back in.. god, 2012 or so? And someone drove up WHILE THE FIRE WAS STILL BLAZING, was informed that the store was closed, and legitimately responded, "But where am I gonna get my coconut water?"

They may be more mask-off about it now, but it's always been a thing.

People aren't using Boatlights-tan for desu memes anymore? I really have gotten old.

Grab 'em by the headlines. When you're famous, they let you do it.

Not that you need to use special tools. SteamOS is built on Arch so you can just... y'know, install shit on there.

I feel this pretty acutely. But I've tried to change the way I approach it. When I randomly remember my cringe moments, and I start feeling like I'm going to be obsessing, I try to think about how I'd react if it was a friend of mine telling me about some stupid thing they did forever ago instead of me. That can be enough sometimes for me to stop and say (sometimes out loud, it helps) "That was forever ago and yeah, it was stupid, but you learned." And it helps. I can't always move past it, but it seems like it works more often than it doesn't. If that makes sense.

Yeah, you did some stupid shit. But guess what! If you did it more than 7 years ago, biologically speaking you're technically a whole-ass different person now. I don't know if this will help anyone, but I hope it does.

Daisy for Kart. Daisy for Smash.

Hi, I'm Daisy.

(Jokes aside, probably the closest thing I have to a main in Smash is Hero)
