Who let the dogs out?

Me. I did it. I'm seeking asylum in Russia right now because the United States government had been keeping the dogs under lock and key for far too long.

The public wants dogs, needs dogs, DESERVES dogs, and the United States government was preventing YOUR access to dogs. I was the one who let the dogs out, all those years ago, and such is the US' fervent hatred of my fight for freedom that only now do I feel safe finally taking credit for what I did.

So now you know.

@[email protected] He's a pretty good guy IRL too. I met him, Styles, & Carey once (iirc this was back when they were still doing stand-up before the TV shows), they came into the restaurant I was working at in Chicago. Him & Styles seemed high/drunk AF & decided to act out the diner scene from "When Harry Met Sally".
@garfiald Ramsay's a fucking knob, and I am legit amazed that nobody's stabbed him with a steak knife yet.
Getting older: 1/10 - Would not recommend.
(I would rate this lower, however I'm told this apparently is better than the alternative.)
@Absolutely_Blakely Sly Stallone screaming "I AM THE LAW!" and people cheering it, was the point I first knew how fascism isn't killed in its infancy.

@curio That was pretty good. I enjoy learning about history, as well as hearing good social/philosophical commentary. Although it does force me to admit a deep, dark secret about myself to the Mastodon community:

I have never actually PLAYED any Fallout besides 4. I've been meaning to since I enjoyed 4 so much, but my computer has since died & I am still mourning the loss of the +20hrs I put into Sanctuary. (Suck it Diamond City. My Sanctuary was way better than your tiny shite ballpark.)

screaming into the void that is .social till i figure out how to change

@curio Whether it's games/TV/movies/books, I like seeing diversity of characters. What I DON'T like is people who use that diversity tag (whichever specific one that might be), in place of an actual personality & good plot.

If a character is ONLY their race/gender/sexuality/etc. then they are 100% guaranteed boring AF, and exploiting that diversity demographic. YOU'RE not only what's in your pants, who you prefer having sex with, or your skin color, so why should a character be that?

Possible the best retro/gaming bookmark 😆
I haven't been drinking seriously for over a decade.
Tonight I break that streak for the best of reasons: I need to celebrate the death of John McCain.
