  1. ^ i got my CDL as a backup and now im using it ^_^; holding onto it for 5 years was a waste. i shouldve looked harder for trucking jobs but God is good. i got hired by Dr Pepper!! 🎉 🎈 🎊 im just waiting for my background & drug test results. starts next month!! right now im watching trucking related youtube videos to refresh my memory. and bought PXN steering/clutch pedals to play American Truck Simulator rotfl so i can practice and be ready 🤣 


  2. either way is fine for me but i prefer: pc for rpg, fps, and turn based strategy games and console for mostly action games or games that my pc cant handle. plus some of my all time fav games arent available on consoles anyway. and never really liked online/multiplayer games bc yes ppl do cheat. and finding a good server can be a such a task. i just dont like competitive games period, i just want to set everything on easy and just relax playing as a single player mode lol.


  3. never been a big fan of sony products but i was surprised my bro’s ps2 still works, it must be over a decade old, but its one of those slim designs that overheats so fast. ive heard same complaints about ps4 slim for ages and i would avoid those slim consoles, including switch, in the near future as well. ps3 however seldomly freezes so i havent really got into playing it that much but recently my main gameplay focus has shifted to pc games so its not a big lose for me if ps5 fails this early. what im afraid of is if i decide to invest fully on getting ps5 games and then it quits on me then id be really pissed. 


  4. meh it was just so random, avoidable death..yesterday one of long time regular customers died suffering from a punctured lung. his friend said he had an old wound, and when he fell down one of his ribs pierced through. thats what they suspected bc he had hard time breathing but ended up being true. when he fell on the floor for the second time trying to open a soda bottle i guess it made it worse. but he just refused to go to hospital and his friend made him go after 2nd day as he was suffering. but it was too late, just one day in hospital and hes gone. bled internally and probably poisoned his body. he was around 60, had bad knees bc he did constructing jobs carrying heavy stuff when he was young..and his adult children dont even care i hear. he recently bought a van from his friend with his 3rd stimulus check and he was pretty happy about it. just stupid things that make us happy you know..he was waiting for it to get titled in his name so he can start driving but that never happened. his doc told him to stop smoking and drinking for several years now but he couldnt cut his bad habits and he thought thats what was gonna get him in the end but then this happens. he always called me timonthy because tim rhymed with my last name lol. gonna miss that. bleh. RIP david. whats more sad is his survivng friend lost another roomate this year, fell down breaking his right shoulder during winter storm and he never recovered from that.


  5. it seems to have a major problem for some that it wont turn on. reading their comments its disappointing. lucky i didnt find any problems yet (execpt sound glitch for tsushima i mentioned). so i finally retired ps4 and playing ps5 for several hours now. my brother forgot to give me ps5 controller cable but i still can play with ps4 controller so its okay so far. i have chivalry for ps 5 its multiplayer game but i need ps plus it seems so im not paying for that extra shit lol..money wasted


  6. maybe thats why its so cheap lol. i saw outlaw star in hd is under $8.00 too, not bad. hmm i just checked funimation website/app. too bad it only has 14 day free trial and its asking me to sign up or something. perhaps if i sign up i can still watch it for free. hey i see wolfs rain. definitely gonna watch that 😛 ill check discovery+ as well later. i like watching lions and whales on tv playing as background. kinda have soothing effect on me 😌 


  7. finally tried tubitv. it has some good selections of movies and some old animes. not too many ads, maybe once every half an hour. i was watching cowboy bebop with it but its sub only so i headed to amazon to see if prime has it and it seems like its having an error or something. one hd episode is $3.99 but the entire hd season is just a buck more at $4.99 LOL. i purchased it just incase it corrects itself later. i checked other stream anime series and they are at $30 ~ $50 range so somebody definitely f’ed up hehe. also trying to watch gundam wing on youtube but no dub..:( i dont mind sub but i dont just sit and watch the whole thing anymore so i dont have time to read them while they play. but yeah cowboy bebop entire hd season at amazon for $4.99. 👍


  8. its divided with 5 or 6 short stories. i only watched the first one bc it had anne hathaway in it and it was interesting. unlike frequency, even if you correct or screw up the past, you can still exist in a changed future timeline, but this one you can jeopardize your whole existence by doing so. 

    yt recommended this out of nowhere and i must have read the title wrong when i click to watch thinking this was xena’s 25th anniversary special episode XD i was like WOW they havent aged that much..maybe little wrinkle here and there..LOL. then i read the description and this was xena season 5. i ended up watching 3 more episodes involving joxer and eve and battle with gods. i dont remember any of this..i think i stopped watching xena after like season 3 back in the day. fighting was somewhat goofy but back then it seemed really good lol

    i rewatched it after decade plus later. still a good horror movie. jill wagner’s acting was really good, i always wondered why her career didnt take off after this as she was already popular with mercury car commercials and as a host of wipeout.

    nice blending of old horror movie with todays modern technology but sadly it wasnt scary at all. 


  9. hes well off even without foodstamp lol (hes the one who sold me gold watches) but yeah he did slow down and now he is saying its a 2 time thing and he’ll know for sure by tomorrow 9th, thats when he gets another fs fund. oh and i got a jury duty summon letter last week and it states that i have to wear a mask although TX gov banned mandated mask orders. no one knows whats going on it seems. its more of 50% ppl who wear them and 50% who do not. one weird thing about the letter is that i have to register to get a court date and it gave me a deadline of 7 days to reply starting the day i recieved it. but how the hell would they know i recieved the letter and if i dont register, how are they going to give me a court date? lol. all the previous summons gave me court dates, but now they are asking me to do it for them. ill ignore this one. if they send me another letter theatening with a fine like last time then yeah maybe ill respond

     


  10. ill just post thing i watched recently ^_^; ..available to watch free if you have amazon prime. 

    the father is stupid and got a huge ego refusing to get help from anyone wtf. his family suffers bc of him. still a good movie. listed as “homeless” on amazon 

    lol..half of the movie started out like some  kinda lifetime domestic abuse movie and the next half is two main characters just tripping out on some meth. i thought it was gonna be ashley judd’s double jeopardy 2 but man i was wrong XD

    it was good. everyone on board thinks shes crazy and says she boarded a plane alone but she believes she had a daughter with her and needs to find her before the plane lands.

     

     


  11. ^ that must be it. i asked him again yesterday and he said he applied for 3 children and for each of his child get $1,100, so he had close to $4,000 total on his ebt balance. he told me next one will be on the june 9th but that cant be because i saw those increase starting on last friday. and according to this article ($1,200 per child) it is one time thing, so he must have got the wrong info O_o highest one i saw far is $7,000..my coworker said she even saw $9,000..but yeah it kinda makes sense now. its the amount that they always recieved during school year but since schools were closed due to covid, now they are recieving all at once so the amount looks huge. ill let him know when i see him next time XD he is spening like crazy right now bc he believes if he doesnt spend them all this month, itll be all gone when he recieves another $4,000 next month.

  12. its on their food stamp reciept. :( it shows their total balance. its illegal but some store clerks can make a deal with customers and take out money to give them cash, in return they get some amount in return too. ppl know how to get around it and take advantage, its just discouraging to see how US govt is so out of touch with working ppl. some are even bragging they are getting a new car. and yeah me too, if i get a fair share of cut then i wont be complaining either. 😭but this is such a bs lol im mad 


  13. avoided this movie for ages until i finally get to watch it bc its free on netflix. my instinct was right. i should have kept avoiding it lol. good acting from the main characters though. but i just wasnt really into graphic details it was getting into

    classic. one of my fav


  14. i could only play squadrons for a couple hours until i got a headache because it only allowed a cockpit view. its frustrating bc you have to depend on that atari looking radar to track down enemies around you lol. when i was playing gamecube version though, only time i used it was final mission escaping death star after blowing up the core. its good for needing fast reaction right in front of you but not so much on overall battles.


  15. wowowowow...customers with kids who are using ebt/food stamps today have total balance of $3,000 ~ $5,000. one of them told me that theyll get that amount EVERY MONTH until december. i have no words..this is so irresponsible. is this part of ridiculous $300 per kids/month crap or are there more money coming in for them at the end of the year? and here we are, no 4th stimulus for hard working individuals paying taxes so everyone else can enjoy free money lol. america is so backward now damn


  16. one can only wish..boring old paper money need some redesign compare to other countries with colorful and better security features, and although thats just a fan made video, its much much better than what they are proposing now :( new $5 bills will be about civil rights, $10 womens suffrage, and $20 slavery if what i heard is right. id rather have it like euros only showing buildings and no portraits then. bummer.

     

     


  17. browsing netflix movies for 20s/30s era recently and highwaymen looked interesting so i started watching and didnt even know it was about bonnie & clyde. heard about them for years but never bother to read or watch books/movies about them. kinda slow at times but it was good. i watched 1967 version after this but that was a bit lame. 

    loved this one. worth watching. wont say much dont want to spoil. 

    should have turned it off when i saw sheea labeoif whatever his name was on lol. 3 brothers bootlegging during prohibition in 30s. only saving grace was gary oldman playing a badass character so i kept watching lol

    horrible horrible just horrible XD if anyones interested about this incident then you ought to just watch documentaries on youtube bc thats much better than this garbage


  18. i played it as a background noise while i was doing laundry and playing video games. it didnt even have a series description so i had no idea what was going on XD whenever i hear a gunshot i turned around to look and it seemed like they were executing young recruitments in uniform. i also saw a dragon flying by so my guess is this is like reign of fire movie? ill give another episode a try 😛 


  19. ^ texas lifted mask mandate back in march but majority of businesses still have mask requirement in place so yeah it sucks. but now texas governor is going furthur and banning mask mandate from public places like schools and other govt owned properties starting june but says businesses are still allowed to impose mask requirement if they wanted to. only place i know that removed it completely is walmart but i hardly ever go there. but my bank is still drive through only but other banks are back to normal so wth

    and i didnt think asking around about vaccines could be offensive bc we all have been doing that since it came out lol. mostly they ask me first but there are lot of mixed reactions. most of them are skeptical and wont take it. had a pepsi delivery guy complaining to me last week that his company is offering him and his family 3 shots bc their reasoning is 3 shots are better than 2 and says theres no way in hell they are going to make him their guinea pig. i mean no shit thats flat out dangerous. what are they thinking O_o on the other hand yesterday this one guy was super excited that he got his very first shot and says its gonna help prevent cancer and im like okaaaay good for you..lol.


  20. ^ ever since i was little, my grandma warned me not to answer back at a voice im not familiar with, if i do, ill get possessed. when i first came to the States, i use to live in an old house which i believed was haunted. so one day i was lying down in a downstairs hallway (it leads to a small restroom but the hallway itself is very narrow and dark), i hear a woman's soft voice calling my name, like whispering but didnt sound friendly at all. i stayed dead silent, and she called me again. now im scared..one more time she called and i stayed quiet. i was thinking to myself thats it. they only call you three times..i passed the test..then BAM a picture frame just drops like an half inch away from my face. holy shit it was a sharp corner that hit the ground first. was she trying to warn me of danger or was she angry that i didnt answer her back?? i really have no idea why i was lying there to begin with because i remember i hardly ever go in there because it feels eerie. i checked the house and no one except my mom was upstairs and she told me she never called out my name. when i told that story later on, my grandma and my mom both recall a woman calling their names in their dream telling them to come outside, including my dad but he said it was my grandpa instead, who passed away when i was two, calling him to join him. anyway i remember recieving a family photo from a mail to the right address..assuming they were the previous residents of the house..about six months after we moved in so theres really no reason why that photo showed up the way it did. and we all looked at each other like..yup.. this house is definitely haunted. O_o


  21. yeah trailer was meh. i would have watched it if they casted original casts from xmen though..all these recasting and rebooting seemed pointless. i never was into comics so days of future past and logan timeline confused the hell out of me. and there was an old interview i saw where original xmen cast like famke janssen complaining about how they were never asked to be back..but xmen 3 did suck.


  22. eh i saw a ps5 digital edition selling at amazon for $1,339 last night but its gone now. they had like 20 left. reviews were good saying its legit except complaining about the price. sucks that sony still cant meet consumers demand after a year and theres no law to track down these bastards for buying them all and regulate this shit


  23. i dont think banana in a pizza is my thread lmao. i used to work at edible arrangements, cutting bananas and pineapples all morning and delivered finished products to customers. they have this unique stench that ill never forget when you add dishsoap to wash them off. now days just a sight of pineapples make me want to gag X_x

    man thats sad. but yeah thats life. all our days are numbered. i had dental problems recently and i keep thinking about my excoworker who died a couple years back. he was an asshole but before he died like one year prior he used all his savings to replace his entire upper teeth. i mean he didnt know he was going to die of cancer but he could have used that money to go on a vacation or on something meaningful. i feel like im wasting my life just working. i really missed a lot of important family events because of it. oh well. 

    and i wanted to mention this also when i made this thread but never came up. about 10 something years ago, it had to be around 2008, i had a fight with my brother and he got behind me and choked me out. last thing i said was i cant breathe and next thing i know i was up in the ceiling looking down at my own body LOL. i looked to my left and theres a ceiling fan and i was like why is this fan blade so close to my face? but the cool thing was i didnt like physically move my head..its like all i had to do was think it and thats where i looked. anyway as soon as he let go, i opened my eyes O_o i was so calm and wasnt even angry anymore. i didnt feel any pain either so it was pretty cool experience. i didnt tell anyone until some years later. i didnt want ppl to think im crazy lol


  24. ^ it was his 2nd pfizer shot, but for like 7 years ive known him, he never even had a common cold until he got that shot. idk call it another coincidence or whatever but damn these vaccines scare me more than covid itself lol. O_o

     

    yeah i use to play Plague Inc (similar game i suppose) and iceland or greenland almost always survived bc they didnt have airports lol. but once you manage to get just one person infected via ports, then its too late to save the rest. even with travel ban on india works somehow, the southern border is wide open so it wont work in the US lol. thats why i remember when trump started travel banning selective countries (except china wtf) and liberal media were outraged saying its racist, all i could think of was well damn its too late now because 8 covid cases have already been reported in new york and california and it was like one month after wuhan outbreak. so it was everywhere by then. but back then most ppl thought it was going to be something serious and lethal like ebola. but as the virus revealed itself and we learned more about it, it mostly attacks who are old, sick, and vulnerable. if it was like the game and even the first infected could die as it mutated at a fast rate within a few weeks, then yeah i could see ppl take extreme measures to protect themselves, but covid isnt like that. its like a big hit or miss kinda thing, some dont even know they have it until it goes away on its own. ill keep wearing my mask as precaution but anything other than that, i dont think its necessary to go as far as take something i dont want or need. now im hearing some companies are forcing their employees to take their vaccines or risk losing their jobs sigh
