Mortal Kombat (2021) - 9/10 Seven In Heaven - 9/10

Ground control at JFK has always been worthless. They fuck up constantly and put lives in danger every day with shit like this. It's why if I ever go to NY I'll either drive, or fly into Laguardia. If those aren't an option I'll fly to Newark and go to NYC from there.

That's not actually true. My power bill is closer to $50 every month. The only way it would get that high is if we kept everything electric running 24/7. $100 is extortionate. But I also live in Missouri, which is one of the cheaper states to live in. But then again most states are like that. In the major cities like NYC, the bills are insanely higher. But the minimum wage is also a hell of a lot higher. And a lot of apartments come with things like electric, water, sewer, and trash included in the rent. The last apartment I had was like that. So while it's expensive, in the majority of the country, it's not as expensive as you might think.

I haven't been in a band in over 20 years, and my voice has changed so much since then, that I doubt I could sing for a band anymore.

I think the reason I buy shit that I don't need is due to the simple fact that my money management skills are the worst they could possibly be. For example, this past weekend I went to St. Louis for a couple days with a little over $500 in my bank account. By the time I got home I had $3 in my bank account. I spent more than $500 in 2 days, and I don't even remember what the hell I bought. As for always forgetting things, there are a ton of factors that play into that one for me.

Has anyone here ever bought a video game as an investment? Maybe a game that 's rare and you're holding onto it. An NES cartridge, or a PS2 game. I'll admit that I've done it. I bought Ducktales 2 (NES), TMNT Tournament Fighters (NES), and Secret Of Mana (SNES) not just to play, but also as a bit of an investment. They're fairly rare, and somewhat valuable games. But I'm wanting to save up the money to get the holy grail of video games when I can. Little Samson (NES). It's the single most valuable game cartridge ever produced. Unless I'm mistaken, it's the single most valuable video game ever made, due to its rarity. I know there's a couple PS2 games that are extremely valuable, but I don't think they reached Little Samson level. So has anyone else ever bought a physical copy of a video game as an investment?

Would you rather talk like Yoda or breathe like Darth Vader?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Talks Yoda funny. Comical he is. -
Invest a little bit into something tangible like silver or gold. Put that somewhere safe and hold on to it until the price to sell is higher than the price you bought for.

Not in the shower, but any other time I'm listening to music I can't help it and sing along anyway. Whether or not I can sing the song playing is irrelevant. I still sing along with it if I know the words.

What did you want to be when you were a kid?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
A Marine. -
I kinda like being lightly chased. It's an ego boost. But I would much rather be with someone who has their shit together first, than someone who is running around chasing women all the time and can't even manage their own lives beyond their obsession with women. But it's kinda easier for me as these days I'm more into women than men. Been with both, but women seem to have a more level head on their shoulders.

The problem is that a lot of people equate mental issues (especially autism) with stupidity. And everyone knows the line "You can't fix stupid." Autism is not stupidity. There is a wide spectrum of different types and severity, but autistic people are often brilliant beyond the general populace. A little different, and sometimes what most would call "odd", but in no way stupid. Yet there is some willfully ignorant dumbass out there saying "Well the kid should have known better." Well asshole, the kid is 10 years old and autistic. Autism aside, at ten years old, most kids don't understand the repercussions of saying something like that. Do you have any idea the shit I said when I was ten? If I said it publicly now, I would be in federal lockup for the rest of my life. Yet no one cared and it was overlooked because I was a child. And from what I read in the article, (correct me if I'm wrong) the child doesn't even know what a felony is, or why he's in trouble. Now I'm not arguing that he does need a talking to, and an explanation of why he can't say things like that. Maybe his parents should give him different games that aren't as violent. But a felony charge is so far beyond out of line and uncalled for that the judicial system needs to be charged with multiple felonies in this case. The child made a mistake. It's human nature to fuck up in life. No one is beyond that. If needed, give the person the guidance they need to remedy the situation, and help them learn from their mistake. BUT THE KID DIDN'T BURN ANYONE OR ANYTHING DOWN SO THE COPS NEED TO FUCK OFF.

I haven't seen a therapist since before I joined this forum. She was a bigot and LGBTQ+ intolerant. Since I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community, I decided I wasn't going to tolerate her shit. Especially when she started throwing things I had said 4 years previously in my face. I was trying to make progress, not regress. The worthless bitch only made the issues I needed help on worse. Since then I have been soured on, and hated therapists. I do see a psychiatrist for my medication, but it's not a therapy situation. It's mainly just a "How's your medication feeling, do you ever feel like killing yourself, see you in 3 months." kind of thing. Nothing more than that.

Do you know how to do any magic tricks?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Ditto. -
Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Ok you like crotch rockets. I prefer motorcycles. -
Would you rather vacation in Mexico or Alaska, and why?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
The beaches are definitely breathtaking. Especially if you have Mayan ruins directly behind you, and wild iguanas roaming around. -
Do you believe in any superstitions or urban legends?

From what I've read, she was extremely beautiful, so men were more than willing to marry her. -
Mine cost a few hundred each, but they don't have much gold in them. One is 10K and the other 2 are 14K if I remember correctly. The only one that would have any possible value is actually a men's band. I got it because it has a knot work on it. It is nothing but solid white gold. One of the other two is a really cheap, really thin band that I had my birthstone mounted on. The other is a sapphire and diamond ring. It has 3 sapphires and 8 diamond chips. Well, it did anyway. Several of the stoned have fallen out. The only place I could even sell them would be to a pawn shop, and pawn shops don't pay shit for gold.

Several years ago, I was trying to open a bag of prunes and having a shitload of trouble. Well my finger slipped and the entire length of the underside of my left index finger was cut so deep that the entire bone was exposed. I should have lost all use of it, but somehow it still works like it should, despite everything being sliced in two. Another time I found a baseball bat on my way home one night and decided to bring it with me. It had duct tape all around the handle. I took out a knife and was trying to cut the tape off. Well, I was being stupid, and ended up running the blade through the pad on my left ring finger. That one took 4 stitches to close. My pain tolerance let me just look at both of these and think "God Damnit". With the bat incident, I didn't have a car, and had to ride my bike about 10 miles across town, in the rain, with a sock around my finger. It wasn't fun. With the prune incident, I just put some gauze on it then wrapped it with duct tape. Redneck Band-Aids. If you grew up on a farm like I did, then you know how they work quite well.
