My wife and I often wonder at the difference between the world we grew up in (70s into 80s) and now. We call it “What a planet”. Marveling at how that world could possibly have changed into this one.

Adventure Scouts?

At some companies, data center entry level.

I left a place that paid $18/hr for “smart hands”. Tasks included loading dock receiving, front desk security, and cable swapping. Looks good in job history.

Yes. Of course. My bad.

How is it possible that I’m the first to mention Days of Future Past?

If you’ll consider desktop (paper) RPGs, then Traveller.

Look up FedRAMP.

Makes Trump look like Gandhi. His kids won’t talk to him. Sued his son-in-law. Sued all of his partners. Grade A narcissist.

They will be entirely fabricated.

Doctors and tests are expensive.

Yes.

It was changed when my 7-year-old great grandfather was sent to school with the dozens of other immigrants from the tenement building. He spoke his name, the German school administrator wrote what he heard, and that was it.

There are 2 other super-similar names that I assume are related, but without DNA, I can’t prove it. I am the family genealogist, so I’m never done researching.

Yeah. I’d like to be able to, but this isn’t the kind of society where my opinions should be matched to my body.

I can tell you that the original was Sicilian.

My last name is limited to my 5 closest relatives. This is due to a bizarre misspelling 3 generations back followed by mostly female descendants.

It used to have instructions for hypnotizing chickens.

But widespread support will matter when they try to deport, imprison, or execute him. The uprising would need to be national.

I can work with that.

Spam or complete scam?

Ten fucking years. I can’t wait for this country to collapse.

I dunno. Producing the heads of the agents along with DNA tests linking them to American family members would go a long way towards proving the Venezuelan version.

Does anyone else remember the source of the phrase “concentrated evil”? I do.
