Sidney

I'm almost dead center of all of you and am feeling quite comfy thank you very much.

I miss the days where it was just lolcats.

Youngters, I have a bit of advice for you and please heed it.

Don't let yourself get out of shape. Don't be like me and get lazy after you get that easy job.

20 minutes of light physical work and I'm beat. Hard to believe I used to carry furniture all over the place in my younger days.

"How dare you counter my ability to give you an awful time!"

"One Bad Apple Spoils The Whole Bunch" is bullshit.

The density of awfulness really does make a difference.

I'm 100X more likely to have somebody tell me to KYS in DBD than I will in DRG.

Meant to post this yesterday, but work got busy in the middle of my flurry of posts.

I did finally collect my Lucky Hand Shipset. And with it done, it was time to finally rechristen my trusty old Sloop as the name "Mani" just didn't fit anymore.

Took me weeks to come up with the name. 😅

Love the layout Murph, very creative!

That awkward moment when you think you logged in the wrong account - then I remembered I was showing off the glitterbeard to my daughter. (Thanks again, Honamar)

Then I was like - Huh, Sidney actually looks pretty handsome with a beard. I am almost tempted to keep it.

Show Your Lock Screen! (I've had this one for 2 phones now)

Oh, these are fun! Here you go! Most of Sidney's looks I kept for more than a month up till today!

Just want to say thank you for the optimization patch for MH:Wilds. It has done wonders to smooth out my framerate and make the game enjoyable again. Keep up the good work - but please let Capcom know they shouldn't make you put out half finished work - because MH doesn't deserve that treatment.

Technically, you're not wrong. However, it would be more accurate to describe it as a spectrum, as illustrated below. 😜

I... I actually got my little girl onto the seas again!

Holy crap - I may have finally got somebody close to me into this game I adore so much. <3

Ah yes, the Palm Tiger. One of the all-time greats among the Tsundere queens.

Democracy is fragile A democratic republic is ALWAYS just an election away from tyranny or collapse. The Citizen is the Republic's greatest strength, but also its most dangerous weakness. Liberty lasts only so long as the people have the will to maintain it, only so long as the population sees citizenship not only as a duty but THE duty and are willing to exercise that power for the greater good. When informed citizenship falls into disrepair, democracy soon follows. If you want a better nation, be a better citizen.

We warned people Fascism was coming if they stayed at home and refused to vote.

Fucking asshats.

Yes, I see that gestapo bullshit that happened in MN today. Trumps Browncoats shooting a man repeatedly as he laid bleeding on the ground.

How's that protest vote looking now asshats?

Food - bought
Gas tank - filled
A good amount of wood purchased and ready to go for my fireplace.

May go silent starting tonight for a few days - ice storms here in the south generally mean no power for a while.

I believe I'll be okay, but don't expect to hear anything for a bit.

I did not sail alone tonight.

Tonight, I was teaching a swabbie in Safer Seas

And that swabbie was my daughter.

My heart is so full right now and I couldn't be happier. 💕

Aaannnnd, I logged in and got 50 Doubloons giving me enough for another piece.... then discovered because I'm old and forgetful that I was only missing the flag - I just never equipped the Sails and cannons. AHAHAHAHAHA

Well crap, I better hurry up and finish off my Lucky Hand set before the doubloon system resets. O.o

No, but I'm truly sorry you have to put up with that. Our politics is not a fun thing to deal with.

On the seas again - trying not to think too hard about the fact that my counties schools are on a security lockdown due to serious threats made.

Directionless, just wandering from island to island, trying to keep sane.

Listen, it's true the anime was beautifully drawn and some of the fight scenes were amazing and I'm gonna let you finish and what not. But I need to draw your attention to one very important detail.

This boi right here - I think he's hilarious. That is all. Please continue. 😆

I don't think I need to tell you to drink in every tiny warm moment you have left with your fur baby, but I'll say it anyway.

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Okay, enough anger, back to goofy pirate stuff. Need to hit the seas again soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngc4...

Must be nice to sit on your ass because "my only alternative to Fascism hurt my feelings so I'm going to stay home".

Must be nice to have such an ignorant moral compass they can't see the larger picture and what was at risk.

Hope they get another election to try again.

My fellow countrymen who share Progressive or Liberal values but didn't show up in the last election.

How's that protest non-vote looking now? Watch this over and over and ask yourself - was it worth it?

Remember this next election - assuming we even get one.

Finish up my Lucky Hand Ship set is at the top, maybe rename the sloop from Mani to something like the "Lucky Vixen" or "Grinning Fox " (Still working on the name)

As for WHO to sail with? List as long as my arm and it hasn't gotten any shorter since last year because I'm a fraidy cat.

It's a Gen Z meme as far as I can tell. My kids seem to find it hilarious.

We don't watch the brain-rot they do, so of course we don't get it. No more than they would get whatever brainrot in-jokes our generations had.
