AMERICA! F*** YEAH! It’s the fourth of July, so a happy day of independence to all our American pals over the land of the free! The original Brexit is most likely off to a fine start as you read this, and I’m somewhat jealous. While I’ll love my South African homeland until the day I die, being proud of my nation is an entirely different story. Maybe it’s all the badness that my ancestors engaged in until a few short decades ago, rampant corruption or the fact that our president can get away with eating living children and still be in office.

Whatever it is, I don’t have that same mania and pride in this country that the Yanks do for their beloved homeland. Although I’m hopeful that maybe one day in the future, I will. Happy Independence Day America! Now go shoot some alien motherships down already.

    I read the MSSA article, read the first chunk of comments, closed the browser tab and went to get myself a very strong whiskey…

            I often get the impression that the uptick votes I get are seriously sarcastic.

            Nah it’s Hammersteyn. He upvotes everyone so that he knows if he’s read a comment or not. He doesn’t want to take his meds, so we just deal with his brand of crazy.

            Plus he’s a nice guy, and everyone likes an upvote. Right?

            I’d say he had OCD, but that would mean he found a way to up-vote everyone 3 times.

            Ah yes, Might and Magic. I see it now.

            Might and magic games were made by a company called 3DO. In one of the games, poor red made it seem, for years, to a friend and myself as if it was CDO. So…… Pointless

            Whatever floats ones boat. But it does sometimes feel like people deliberately try to belittle each other in the smallest ways. Whether intentional or not.

            weeeelll. How to better yourself

            1. Better yourself
            2. Lower everyone’s perceived standard and standing, thus making yourself better than you were, by virtue of comparison.
