sounds like you have a solid head on your shoulders when it comes to investing, i worry about apes yolo’ing beyond their means, or setting themselves up for having to sell some shares to make the bills… I still hold small numbers compared to a lot of the purple circles I see getting posted, but I’m OK with that, I have lots of experience making things go a long way, and I don’t need enough tendies to buy an island, just to do some good. That said, I’d still take island-level tendies if it comes! Doctor Plasmatron’s Island For Wayward Freakoids has a nice ring to it.

I’m finishing up pic 69 tonight, i think it’s turning out pretty good, nothing mind blowing, but will still appeal I suspect (grin). Thanks for the kind words on it, I never wanted my drawings to be appreciated by anyone but IRL friends, but it seems there’s a handful of apes out in the world that also enjoy them, so i guess the real treasure is the friends we made along the way. ;-)

right on! Still slowly booking them too, haven’t had a raise in 4 years though, so not doing direct buys as much as I’d like. I persevere.

Next one is pic #69, started drawing it today, hoping it turns out nice!

i like you.

i think you forgot the “/s”

dr. david suzuki pours himself another scotch and sighs.

totalcommander.exe for the win!

oh the turntables, back in the 90’s the stereotype was the 10 year old showing the 60 year old how to use the “computator”, nowadays maybe it’s the 60 year old showing the 10 year old there are open source alternatives for image editing apps, office apps, and most things with a tappable tablet interface.

yeah, we’d need more Geosities banner ads and <flash/> html tags to go back to the Macweb1.0/Mosaic era. …Sometimes I still visit zombo.com to feel young again.

i share your memory

kind of like when back in usenet days a usenet server could choose to not include certain newsgroups, such as someone not wanting to store all the data for alt.binaries.pron.hamsters on their server or whatnot?

alt.lemmy.shitposting

Thunderbird with Lightning to reproduce all the outlook functionality

i’m going to start adding this lemmysub to my pic posts every friday for sure.

we’re here aren’t we (grin). Looking forward to seeing how this plays out for sure.

yes, its origins were great, it’s finale is not so great. I suspect if Aaron were alive he’d be livid. I also think reddit’s demise might be the intended outcome, like BCG is at the helm or somesuch.
