  • Why are you proud of yourself tonight?

  • i didn't take any offense, i was just making an old-man-shakes-fist-at-cloud complaint into the void.

    your last sentence really hit home. it would probably feel great to give in, shove a pencil in my nose, and proudly don a red hat.

  • meh. i guess it doesn't really matter what it sounds like on the outside. i mentioned the church in good faith, but that's apparently now a lost thing. it sucks, because he was a great friend and mentor and i don't think kids now will ever get the chance to have that. everyone's a creep and a groomer now.

  • the 90s were a different time, and he was a friend from church. nothing creepy - he was a mentor, not a creep. he was the guy who told you not to drink all those wine coolers. i did anyways, and i got a horrible stomach ache and spent the night in the fetal position. he was wise.

  • oh come on, you're an old man, you know kids can be cruel :P

    why do i feel like your name is brian? maybe that's just a bit of my childhood peeking through. we had this one friend in my group when we were teenagers that was 28. he was awesome, and he fully embraced the cringe. drove a 90s chevy f150. chopped it, threw a camper on the bed, and painted it krusty cough syrup purple. had a bunch of subwoofers and drove around banging master p and metallica. got a full-color tattoo of Taz. miss that brian.

  • i know i'm breaking the rules, but i'm really proud of the dude that just got some certifications.

  • i was gonna say the same thing. also google "STEM discover boxes". talk about things i wish i had when i was a kid

  • i'd try to do the smart and professional thing - reach out to the company issuing the exam first to ask about the issue. get the issue fixed, and keep detailed notes about everything they say. then, offer a small bribe to the person you're talking to so that you get an interview. then, show your notes and get hired!

  • This was Alex Jones once

    Jump

  • you're absolutely right.

    i didn't post this to defend him or to facilitate his defense in any way. fortunately, nobody here is doing that.

    this is probably the nicest slice of early alex jones in media that wasn't local texas radio. you can see here that he found his voice very early on. he used his voice in the early '00s to rail against the police state and impending authoritarianism of the george w bush regime. i think it's important for people to see how he has used his (very fucking effective) voice in the past for other, very different messages than he's spouted since he hit the mainstream.

  • fuck it's weird, eh? yeah, he was huge anti-bush, anti-police state, actually just about as true red white and blue texas american loudmouth badass as you could be. dude even infiltrated bohemian grove. i still remember the look on david gergen's face when alex asked him about in on camera.

    i also think it's weird that his voice has been in the backs of all our heads for a lot longer than we realize. your post gave me chills.

  • i don't think i ever saw one of those edits go unnoticed, though, and they were usually pretty funny whether intentional or not. i just want 30 seconds or so to go 'oh fuck' and add a hyphen sometimes.

  • i've done the same, and old markup formatting makes shit look stupid unless you take time to comb over it in preview. it's kinda part of the reason i don't like it that lemmy won't let you do ninja edits.

    Jump

  • that's a genuine take, and it makes me think about what my opinion of it would be watching it now. i haven't seen it in about 20 years, either. you're most likely right, in that my younger self probably thought a lot more highly that i probably would now. come to think of it, the film did feature this one certain asshole.. hmm

  • This was Alex Jones once

    Jump

  • now? i'd agree with you.

    back then? i think the thought he was really onto something.. and i did, too - at the time. 0

    knowing what i know now, a "faggy" party - to quote Nixon, probably wasn't then what it's probably become now.

    Jump

  • it really seemed that way, but of course i now question everything he said - and i actually credit him for how i ultimately developed that skill. things may have been very different back in those days, but it's clear now that he was only just rabble rouser without any real goal at the time. sad that he's found one now though
