Oh man. ICQ is shutting down. I've had an account since 2003. Still know my login ID. Eventually I stopped using it as ICQ was actively making extremely difficult to use 3rd party clients. I used KDE Kopete (Linux) and Trillian (Windows) for years and years until everything broke. There isn't really any multi-client messager anymore.

In terms of my "getting a new smartphone"-problem: I found out that the Sony Xperia 10 VI will be released soon and the asking price is 400€. It's still expensive and more than I'm currently willing to pay, but I'll wait for reviews to gauge if it's worth.

It's baffling how many free trampolines are out there. I'm thinking about getting a few. Not for me. A family member has some apple trees on their grounds and my idea is to use the trampoline frame as a frame for a net to capture falling apples. Also most free trampolines come with free nets, so it's double the value. Also I'd use the poles of the nets, used as a side protection for falling off the trampoline, to construct a foil greenhouse for my tomatoes, or at least a simple roof to protect from excessive rain.

Got a small steel cabinet for 20 Eurocurrency. Big enough to store hand tools. It's not the prettiest and has some dings and scratches, however still way cheaper than anything from the hardware store. The handles for each drawer are attached with simple M4 nuts. They get loose quickly. I have enough lock nuts.

Adam Corolla's new series "Mr. Birchum" is the worst Family Guy clone not because of its right-wing politics, but because despite advertising itself as "the show the LEFT doesn't want you to see!!!!", and "too OFFENSIVE and ANTI-WOKE for mainstream television", the show itself is so tame and inoffensive that I'm left wondering if it was a retooled daytime Cartoon Network pitch that didn't get picked up or something

@zeldatra Can it really be worse than Paradise PD on Netflix? I was instantly disgusted by Paradise PD. Also I never heard or Mr. Birchum. Just the name of the show sounds like a show about a family in a box standard suburb and Mr Birchum is the mostly clueless but well-meaning man with emotional and communication problems towards his family.
-
@adiwan I laughed at like one joke in Paradise PD which is more than the zero in the two episodes of Mr. Birchum that you can currently watch (on Ben Shapiro’s website, which I TOTALLY paid for and DIDN’T find it somewhere else illegally). It’s about a wood shop teacher (apparently it’s a character Adam Corolla played in his standup sets back in the 90s?) who’s upset about “kids these days” and is constantly antagonized by a caricature of a 2012 Tumblr SJW. He’s a lot like Hank Hill, except that unlike Hank he doesn’t grow at the end of the episode because the show portrays his “kids these days” mindset as the correct mindset. The first episode has him conscripting his students to do unpaid labor in his house and the SJW character is portrayed as being in the wrong for trying to get him fired over it.

It’s prom night which means the high schoolers are all in my store having fun and as is depressingly common it’s reminding me how I spent my high school years animating terrible horse cartoons and being terminally online instead of actually having fun with my own peers.

Whenever RGG decides to kill off the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series they should end it all with making it all an Inner Fighter simulation that Kiryu played. And then Kiryu should say that this "simulation" was completely not based on his life and in every way imaginable exaggerated with nonsensical twists and too much drama.

On the bright side: Found by accident an almost new CRT TV for FREE!!! Just contacted the seller and I will drive tomorrow to pick it up. It's a "medium" size PHILIPS Flat Screen CRT TV of about 24''-26'' (hard to judge the exact size).

I decided against buying the Xperia 10 V. 350 Eurobucks ain't cheap in the first place, the price jumped up for some reason by 30€. Even the older version is barely cheaper and the lack of future updates make it even less appealing. Gonna squeeze a little bit more life out of my Blackberry.

Got a flyer from the extreme right wing political party Alternative für Deutschland (AFD) (Alternative for Germany). It's disgusting what they demand like harsh deportations. There are many points that even contradict. "We want to strengthen the EU" and then "We want to get back to national currencies and weaken the EU parliament to the point it's even less effective than a paperweight made out of one sheet of paper.". Getting rid of the elements that bind the Union together is quite the opposite. Also they want to get rid of taxes. Between the lines they believe in trickle down economics. What a bunch of racist clowns.

@adiwan The flyer was in my mailbox because of the EU parliament election. Also I got my election papers informing me where I have to vote or how to get the by-mail-voting arranged. The voting booth is in another Elementary School than I'm used to, although not living that far away. Gonna have to find out where it's located and such.

@adiwan I got one of these from my Republican neighbor who was running for local office but was refusing to state his political affiliation because my district was like Biden+20 or something like that. He encouraged me to contact him so I sent him an email about his frankly horrific and cartoonishly evil platform. I never received a response and now I get dirty looks when he sees me walk down the street.
-
@zeldatra It's sad that US politics is so extremely polarized for so long that only two parties are "viable" for voting. I don't know but maybe he was leaning towards Republican because of some topics that were OK but was ignoring the horrible other stuff and rationalized them away.
