Man, I should have became an authoritarian ruler.

Instead I became isolated and I haven’t had a visitor in over a decade.

Fuck it. Vote for theangryseal!

For real though, maybe if I hadn’t ever used drugs haha. I had a lot of “friends” when I was living in that world. Might have stopped me. :p

I don’t remember the details but my mom’s first cousin called me once to fix her computer when I was a teenager.

No matter what she typed it came out as, “I AM FUCKING GAY!”

Seems like all I had to do was type “stop”.

Nah they’re all in there. I’ve known them since I was about 5 years old.

They legit just stopped cleaning it. The last time I went in there I noticed thick black dirt in front of the drink cooler, so I peered over the counter and it was the same all the way back in the kitchen. I couldn’t even eat my food.

It sucks too because it has always been my favorite spot to eat. I used to take my daughter every weekend.

She still eats there haha. She says she don’t care, it’s too good to give up.

The counters and cookers all look clean, they just stopped mopping the place it seems.

My local Chinese restaurant doesn’t accept cards.

Up until recently it wasn’t a big deal, they’d point to the ATM at the grocery store next door and say, “ATM right there! No card! No card!” while tapping the cash only sign.

Unfortunately that grocery store closed last month. I hope they make it because I love the family that owns the place.

After Covid though, the cleanliness went downhill big time there. I mean, to a shocking degree.

During the peak of the pandemic they stuck a table in front of the doors and trusted customers to pay and take correct change themselves. That meant the world to me.

Buuuuut. They went from the cleanest restaurant in town to a place that looks like it hasn’t been mopped since 2019. It’s like the pandemic made them lazy and they never recovered.

And the damn movie was already made too! Bastards!

Nay. Saved by the world!

I will say, I rarely listen to Elvis now. If I do it’s just a way to connect with little kid me.

The Beatles though, I listen to them every day and I have my whole life.

Meanwhile, my goofy ass was born five years after you. I spent a huge chunk of my childhood sitting at the foot of my bed with an old Caliphone record player listening to the Elvis readers digest collection.

My grandmother was obsessed to a level that was quite insane.

My poor grandpa had to make love to his wife under a giant picture of Elvis Presley, and he knew good and well where she was pretending to be. Her cars all had a huge silhouette of Elvis on the back glass and one on the hood with the text reading something like “#1 Elvis Fan”. “‘at was ‘uh perdiest man who ever lived right ‘tar.” Said Grandma.

You would think her obsession would have made me feel the way you felt about it. Something is wrong with me though haha.

Yer mom is spherical. Huht huht.

Wait. Your mom is the orb?

I don’t really buy much new stuff.

I just built my daughter a computer for 1k that would have cost nearly double anywhere else though.

I’m also a creature of habit. I’ve been using eBay for more than 20 years now and I don’t have to fuck with setting up a new account and all that anywhere else.

I did try Facebook marketplace recently and I have been ripped off twice. Yay. The only two purchases I ever made there.

I’ve never used Amazon. eBay is pretty much where I get what I want and that has been true since 2004 according to my account.

My daughter loves Michael Jackson.

It’s funny, I never much liked his music before aside from a couple big songs. Now that I’m always hearing it, I regularly catch myself singing along and enjoying it.

I hope your kids like it.

It has always seemed to me that my kids have gone out of their way to avoid liking anything I like. That’s fine, but I never could relate to them.

I adopted my son so it was different with him. We did everything together and he was happy to look into my interests sometimes. He and I played world of Warcraft together for a decade and I’d cut off a couple toes to go back and have that with him again.

It blows my mind that gen z is old enough to be stuck in this mess with us.

The only chance I ever had to own a home was taking over the one I grew up in from my parents. I couldn’t raise my kids there though. The neighborhood went from being a nice little mining town to meth as currency town.

Good luck you guys. Maybe y’all can work on the boys following Andrew Tate off of a cliff and get this world going in the right direction.

Shit, in 40 years us millennials will finally be old enough to hold elected office. Hahahahaha

Nah I’d keep it the whore car

My dad used to make me and my brother fight all the time when we were kids. It was like a family sporting event. All of the men gathered around and shouted, “git eeem buddy, don’t let eem gitchya! That’s riiite, yeah! Git eem in the belly!”

It usually ended with one of us crying and the men saying, “awwwww, calm down sis. It’s just a bloody nose.”

Reminds me of one of my favorite things I ever heard my dad say.

He said something that upset my brother when I was winning the fight, so my brother charged him. He put his hand on my brother’s head and held him back while he swung with all of his might.

My dad laughed and said. “HUHT HUHT! Look at eem, he’s like a little banty rooster! He’s flogging with all his little might! (bantam rooster, dad pronounced it “bay-nee)

It riled my brother up for days. I called him banty for years. Hahaha

For fun, this is a bantam rooster trying to fight a normal sized rooster.

I am THE seal. The…angry seal.

HE SAID, “WHICH IS WHY THE AXE IS NOT COLD!!!”

WHICH IS WHY THEY ASKED AND NOT TOLD!!!

But for real, I don’t know what the commenter means either haha.

And then you’ve got guys like this. I remember seeing some ancient old dudes when I was a kid. My toddler is obsessed with 60s music these days and it blows my mind when I see this video now. I see babies.
