  1. I can speak to Quake as I never played. I do goof around in GTA online in solo lobbies doing old missions that I've memorized and that's low thought low stress. But if I was actually wanting to relax my mind, Journey is the game I would turn on. From the graphics to the sound track, game play to control, it's more like listening to while noise while doing breathing exercises than a video game. I'm sure non-gamers would logically ask, why the fuck would you play that.. "to relax my mind".
  2. Sounded like Marquez to me, and it appears Marquez is sick of her shit.
  3. I'm never going to defend pronghorn, but the pic of the guy with a bear on his shirt and the text I COME BEARING GIFTS is... um.. my skeptical mind even questions if it's real and if so.. that shirt alone.. words.
  4. I scrolled across this pic a couple of times now and I can no longer resist posting this pic:
  5. Less than a month, yeah, I mean the headline isn't wrong.
  6. He still catches some shit here, particularly on game day threads. That video of him after OSU in the tunnel was an verbal expression of what I've seen him do on the field and the only reaction I completely related from the Longhorn team. I am huge fan and I'm happy he's coming back. I guess you could say he's my "Quinn".
  7. So start a thread on the TikTok ban and stop derailing this one.
  8. Stimulatans, loud mouth, jack ass, WR.. Miami He's not good enough, but he'd be at home.
  9. Let me draw you an analogy. You have from the word go specifically been waving the TikTok flag in this thread. Over and over again, TikTok and TikTok ONLY. You're not promotioning ANY other social media, internet freedoms or online "free press". You're not comparing it to Facebook and why its better. Only TikTok rules!!! If in 2005 you'd started a thread on Hornfans promotioning legalization of marijuana, there would have been some that hated on it and some that supported it. Just like the ban on TikTok in this thread. However, if you had jumped into a thread dedicated to discussing the CEO or a major pharmaceutical company and started promoting freedom of Mexican Swag Bags of weed, you'd catch a lot of animosity just like you have in this thread. That's what you've done. You've jumped into a very specific thread subject about a specific person and insisted upon yourself in promotion of TikTok. Not argued for internet freedom broadly, not discussed the subject of the thread in any detail, not talk broadly about promotion of social media, in fact other than flinging some poo at Zuck you haven't really even discussed any other social media. What you've done over and over is promote TikTok. You haven't discussed the legal issues, you have discussed why so many countries governments have banned TikTok, you haven't compared the pro and cons of TikTok vs othe social media platforms. None of it. You've spent 4 pages on a discussion about the issues of the pharmaceutical industry and a specific pharmaceutical CEO telling us why Mexican Swag Bags are so important to the freedom of US citizens.
  10. I'd like to subscribe to your Patreon page, please.
  11. Epic Games and Sony are all "you think we don't know our way around a hack!". Sorry, couldn't resist.
  12. Being a shit head or being a shit heads who also does a lot of drugs are absolutely possible as well.
  13. Self medicating with drugs and/or alcohol is my somewhat educated guess.
  14. @Captain Ron I appreciate your post and what it immediately brought to my mind were all the various companies I worked for throughout my career. I've always expressed that I'm a client advocate. I genuinely care about the people I've worked with at at various companies. To greatly varying degrees, some horrifyingly bad, some just stupidly bad, all of them failed to make the clients, you know the ones who ultimately pay the bills, the first priority. To be clear, I'm not a customer is always right sort of person, I'm not and they aren't. Moreover, there are bad clients you should fire. That said, always making profitability the first priority has a horrible effect on the client experience. Yet, from Fortune 100 to VC Funded SMBs, the stake holders are never the clients, and instead it's the investors or shareholders. Idiotic decisions are made to move the stock in the right direction, even worse ones are made to appease VC shit heads. VC cares about Ebita and 90 day profitability, crossed with 30 day growth and they hire "winners" rather than leaders to do drive that goal. Client advocates with long term clients relationships for on going sustainable business is actually a negative to VC management. I don't want to derail the thread completely but winning at the cost of anything is the problem in a broad spectrum globally right now. Facebook, among other corporations and silicone Valley drove the exponential growth of this aspect. Sure, it absolutely existed before but the tech craze insanely sharpened the knife that is among the largest issues in the world today. Without going full economics nerd, technology, the king driver of this behavior has been among this largest contributions to the economic divide between haves and have nots. This all said by a life long tech guy.. (edit - and a Yay! I LOVE capitalism guy, for the record. No not sarcasm. Which I believe, should make my condemnations seem that much worse.)
  15. I think you confused Sark and Surly in this post.
  16. That's the funniest part, I'm not even for the TikTok ban, as I think that choice should be left to the public. Sadly they are largely way too stupid to acknowledge any issues with giving their data away or it's rampant use to fuck them in their own ass. Just like a lot of legislation that gets passed is usually the stupidity of the public that lead to them, though it not true in the case of TikTok. Yet CmonCCP takes issue with me about TikTok in a thread intended to shit on Zuck, Facebook and Meta. See the stupidity note I made above for my thoughts on that reality.
  17. So rather than creating some "new content" by starting a pro TikTok thread you decided to come shit in the Anti-Zuck thread. That tracks.
  18. Got me domo Arigato
  19. Wait, you told me you were Mr Beast. I'm starting to wonder if you're being a little dishonest and perhaps too pro TikTok. It seems a tad, sided too be so pro China and anti-US policy. It's almost as if you were had an agenda.
  20. Other than cmonchina not sure I've seen that stance a lot. But then again I pretty much focus on my own content for my followers.
  21. Were I that sales rep, I'd absolutely promote the positive push his rating would get and the impact on social media, and talk dollars while dropping a hint that A+ was for sale and the UAE was extremely interested in the product. I'd also drop clues that I frequently heard in back channels how much this product pisses off Putin. Sell the client not the product, and kick backs are extremely dirty and not my flavor but if it meant helping Ukrainian troops...
  22. Afterhours BBS You had to learn to read in-between lines really well and sniff out the men pretending to be women, but... there were a couple of Lake Travis parties and I became a bit of a "celebrity" for my TW2000, Major MUD and trolling skills. It paid off... really well. It was the go to for geeky women with a strong sex drive who weren't comfortable picking up men in bars.
  23. Okay that's pretty cool, I'm actually Nick Perry (no not that one but you might know me as Nicholas Avocado. Who'd have thunk wed meet on Surly. We should do some colab content crossover and you should really consider a transition to Onlyfans. TikTok is dying.
