Well if he couldn’t tell E Jean Carrol from his ex wife, he probably can’t tell Mandan from Coke Jr. They both have beards, so close enough, right?

Mamdani probably said a great president, and that’s enough for Trump to like him. He’s so easily manipulated, it’s pathetic.

Now that was a real computer! None of these new-fangled sprites and fancy-schmancy synthesizer crap.

The VIC 20 was what go me into retro-computing. I wanted to recreate the system I had in 1981. Still haven't got the right slot expander though.😱

Sign me up! That sounds like my kind of youtube channel.πŸ˜‚

The only way I could keep a straight face during that bullshit-athon would be to botox my face to the point I couldn't show any expressions and then i would still struggle with the eye rolls.

Me too, I will be breathing religiously.

Don’t even start me on nerve gasses. No-one in the U.S. dies from inhaling them, and some commies in Geneva ban them under some convention or other.

I did fractions in elementary. There’s no excuse for such innumerate BS from politicians

Yeah, those aren't great. The knockoffs on Amazon look a lot better

There are at least 3 designs on Amazon πŸ˜€. I searched for "6502 retro t-shirt".

That's a Trump level word salad.

So there's actually a use for that touch bar?

It's difficult to feel sympathy for farmers who voted for Trump and his tariffs, got badly burned by it and then voted twice more for the same guy running on the same tariff policies as he did the first time but are now angry about him and those policies because they are getting hurt by them again.

I don't care how they do it, as long as they succeed.

And is it 200,000 times more entertaining than the games we used to play?

OK, that makes a lot more sense.πŸ˜‚ They would have had to have done miracles with a Spectrum to get graphics like that. It still looks really good though.

Those graphics are on a Spectrum? That's really impressive. Normally spectrum graphics are immediately recognizable.

Cable News is basically dragging out a 30 second news report to fill a 3 hour segment by repeating the facts in 50 different ways and stating the blazingly obvious.

No, still spreading hate and destroying our country.

"If you live by the sword, you die by the sword". Political violence is wrong, but I don't have a huge amount of sympathy for him bearing in mind how little sympathy he had for other victims of political violence.

Charlie Kirk called for people to raise money to bail Paul Pelosi's accused attacker.

They have to empty all the sensible stuff out first to make way.

Democrats forged the birthday card while Trump was a Democrat in the early 2000s to hurt him 22 years later because they knew he would become a Republican president. I had no idea we were that smart.

It makes sense. Bras lift them up, so their weight can be discounted.

You can't even see who blocked you to get an idea why they did it. I'm sure most people who have blocked me here have never interacted with me or even seen any of my posts.
