  • Also, for what it’s worth, my family was from the south. My reunions and funerals and weddings all take place somewhere in a holler with 1 Walmart about 40 minutes down the mountain.

    My uncle once said, and my mother agreed, in relation to gay men “I wish they’d put em all on an island somewhere, they’d be happier that way”.

    But I wasn’t lucky enough to know my grandpa as a man of wisdom. He’d said enough stupid shit, or abided it in his home when his children begged for '“Barack Houssein O’bummer’s” birth certificate. He had a dog named Blackie, that I called Blackie because I wouldn’t dare say it’s real name if someone asked.

    What was good in them did all truly disappear in front of me day by day from that point. Hell, I actually believed the ‘states rights’ reason for the civil war until I was at least 14 or so. Crazy what stupid can breed





  • For the most part, all anti virus software I’ve found that is pretty “mainstream” are bad or have backdoors built for bad people.

    Macafee -absolute Spyware, delete it Kaspersky - Russian ties apparently - but I don’t believe reports from Just the US, and they’ve been pretty integral to the security space for businesses for years. I’m not sold on them being ‘bad’ yet. Norton - not malware, but not good and going the Macafee route

    I hear good things about BitDefender, and Windows Defender is mostly good enough for the average person + an adblocker and you’re good to go.




  • My wife and I use the pinky promise as a sacred oath and sometimes an investigative tool.

    If we’re not okay, or we’re worried the other is putting on a face to get through a moment without being honest, the pinky is used as a “I won’t ask again, just promise me you’re alright, or will be alright, and we’re good” and that kicks off a conversation or she confirms that she’s fine and the tone is residual from another frustration.

    Pinky is sacred, if my wife lied on a pinky promise, it would breach our deepest marital trust.
