Hello. I am a single, middle aged man from midwestern United States. Pic is not me.

I own a couple actual vintage arcade machines and paid less for them than this. If you shop around you can find deals.
I also have one of these 1up cabs and it is definitely not like vintage. Software may be the same but it is using a modern monitor not a CRT. I think I paid around 300 for it several years ago. Not full size.

Miss me with this pussy shit, bitches!
You need to punch up your comeback game? I gotchu!
Someone called you a motherfucker? "I found out yo momma so UGLEE her blowjobs count as anal. And she LOOOVES giving me "anal"."
Someone called you a rebel without a cause? "At least I'm not a faggot without a dick."
Some comebacks that work for almost anything:
Did you think of that YOURSELF, Einstein?
You're dumber than you look.
You're not the brightest bulb in the pack, are you?
You're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?
Did your mommy tell you to say that?
Are you always an asshole or only on Fridays?
Are you sure you know what all those words mean?
I’ve been called worse by better.
You go out in public with that face?
Your village called – they want their idiot back.
You’ll never be the man your mom is.
Which circus did you escape from?
Which zoo did you escape from?
Which ape cage did you escape from?
Your ass must be pretty jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth.
Grab a straw, because you suck.
I don’t have the time or the crayons to explain.
If you were a spice, you’d be flour.
It’d be awesome if you used glue instead of Chapstick.

Thank you, Nima!

What age do you have to be to get this joke?
Kids probably think its a sexual reference.

Next we should cut off thieves' hands. Then harvest organs randomly from prisoners.
They're criminals. They should not have any rights. Fuck em, right?

Its all yo momma's fault!

I am sure some farmers are rich.
I am also sure that farmers, like almost any other large group, have a wide range of incomes.

Farmers?

Boycott!

Some of the best steak I've ever had is ribeye fried then baked.
Above instructions (and site) CANNOT be beat. Buy prime ribeye if you can.

Stirlon? Is that stirlon silver?

Maple syrup is awesome. Peanut butter and maple syrup is better. Peanut butter, maple syrup, and mixed nuts is best.

Very interesting idea. If I could afford it, I'd buy one!
Would you consider a hybrid design too?

I would finally build the dome home I dreamed of in college. Myself, no contractors.
Planning might push this in other directions like an earth berm home or similar. I might also consider some hybrid designs. Alternative housing is really interesting and uncommon.

If the difference were only a nominal % I might agree with you.
When I bought the Complete Calvin and Hobbes the price at the local bookstore was about twice the online prices.

They're actually earning the nickname Worst Buy.

Do you want free? Ask in the piracy mag.

I appreciate local bookstores and brick and mortar B&N...BUT prices.
Unfortunately online is much cheaper than in store.

I know some shit is unavoidable. But I really do think about clicking on links that seem questionable to me. I try to prevent but also know this is an imperfect strategy.

What is YOUR top 10 list of all time best video games?
Any platform(s).

To date, what do you think is the greatest invention or discovery and why?
Mine is the computer. I continue to be amazed at what we can do with them.

What is the next "big thing"?
Right now it seems like its "A.I.". Still big now are the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Recently we had COVID 19.
What's next?

What ever happened to nanotechnology?
Seems like it disappeared.
Most are probably too young to remember but nanotechnology was supposed to be the most super amazing thing ever.

Which will melt more snow: 35 F and sunny or 45 F and cloudy?
Related question: What cloudy temperature will melt as much as 35 F and sunny?

How can I anonymously create a G! play account? Is it possible to create an anonymous email account that G! play will accept?
Trying to set this up for some healthcare stuff I want to keep private. Finding this to be very difficult, mostly because I can't find anonymous, secure email.
Any advice welcome.

Why don't phones support 2FA?
Phones could allow much higher security if they supported 2 factor authentication. This could be face/fingerprint along with a typed or swiped password. This seems like a simple solution that leverages software that is already implemented. Just make it an added option in addition to the existing one
ETA: Sorry for the duplicate posts, I was getting error messages. Pls use this one.
I am surprised there is confusion about what 2fa is. Here is a simple definition: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/security-101/what-is-two-factor-authentication-2fa

Free heavy metal internet radio station. No ads!
I've listened to this station on and off for many years and wanted to share it. I am in no way affiliated with them. Just a happy listener. Enjoy!
Apologies if this post is not allowed, please let me know and I'll take it down. Thx.

What is a band you like and which of their albums do you like the most? And, if you're feeling analytical, why do you like that album the most?
I'm looking to buy more CDs and expand my depth and breadth of metal music appreciation. Instead of "greatest hits" I'd like a studio (or live) album that is a shining example of a great band.
I'll start:
Ratt: Out of the Cellar
Listen
This was Ratt's breakthrough hit and debut album that put them on the map. Several hits on this disc like "Round and Round". Also a couple great songs that were not hits like "Lack of Communication" and "I'm Insane".
Edit To Add: Some great responses below, thanks! Please feel free to ponder further and add to your response or respond again with other bands!

Vector Pinball
I would like to recommend Vector Pinball to anyone with even a passing interest in video pinball or video games.
I find this game to be very impressive, even more so as a free app on F-droid. I need to send this dev some cash, I have probably put 200 hours into this game and I am really enjoying it.
Things I like:
Physics are perfect.
8 boards
Each board plays very uniquely.
Great depth of play, the boards are complex and take some work to unlock/see everything.
Addictive.
Some boards are very difficult.
Unique look with vector graphics. Reminds me of Tron.
Pretty good music.
Things I don't like:
My phone doesn't have pinball buttons. Doing that on the screen is a bit awkward. Workable but awkward.
The ball can pass between your flippers with no chance to hit it. Often normal for pinball, this always annoys me. I think I should always have some chance to hit and save the ball.
Show me my score and high scores as soon as I finish a game. I should not h

What is your best story when you were in a foreign country?
It can be anything: Scary, funny, confusing or embarrassing. What happened that stands out most in your mind?

If you are a classical music lover, what are your top 5 classical composers and why did you choose each one?

As I work through my Mozart box set I started asking myself this question.

What do YOU recommend if I want to start learning open source A.I.?
Kbin seems to have many open source and programming experts. And probably many experts in A.I. . I am curious about learning to use and develop (train?) an open source A.I. as a learning exercise.
I am pretty technically savvy, but depending on your definition, probably not a programmer. I've built my own PCs several times, I worked in SQL and studied a couple object oriented programming languages in school for a short time. Also limited Visual Basic experience years ago.
I know I could just play around with ChatGPT or whatever other tools exist but I want to delve more deeply.

What do YOU want for Christmas/winter holiday this year?
I want a new motorcycle. Maybe an electric one.
