Perhaps I am just old (likely) but it seems like mainstream American country and western music peaked in the 1990's.

There are a few standouts these days but most of it is just pop music with a twang or borderline racist/misogynist lyrics.

I miss the old days when the biggest issues were having too much to drink or watching a loved one leave. 😢

It's so incredibly frustrating when someone asks you for some free IT consulting for their organization and you spend at least 15 minutes explaining why sharing passwords for accounts is a terrible idea...

Only to hear them say "I hear you, but this is the way we like it."

Sheesh. If you want to feel intense impostor syndrome, just try to learn a second language.

I'm so horrified to make an error that it's difficult for me to even get a sentence started.

I finally got a chance to sit down without the kids and watch The Northman today.

The scenery is astounding. It's just a beautiful movie to watch. However, be prepared for some gruesome scenes. The whole movie just has an intensity that doesn't let up.

@railmeat @mcc Windows is wild now. When you install it, it asks permission to tailor ads to your interests. Bruh I paid $150 for this OS, the number of ads I want you to show me is *zero*.
