FidoNet was the gateway drug.

A Toft design, 8 wheeler. Custom bearings, wheel wells, lifters, extended trucks. Was made for me to go faaaaast down hills but I could also do most tricks as well. Helps when your friend has a skateboard factory.

Those were the days. Skateboard competitions, scouring the streets and malls at 3 am. This was my board. Custom design by Wee Willy Winkles in Canada.

Here is me back in the day riding it.

I am not an american. All I know is if citizens just keep doing nothing the us will become just like the fascists in Germany did in WWII. It is up to them to do something or nothing. Time will tell.

Americans will just get mad post on Reddit and then go back to watching YouTube, Twitch in the hovel of their choice until ice comes for them and they will say no no not me you said it was the “others”. They are not watching the news. Bills to make furries the bad guys. Bills to make 2SLGBTQIA+ bad guys. Starting to grumble(by grumble I mean “we need to outlaw this stuff” talk) about what should and should not be on Twitch and other platforms. Grumbling about gamers and certain games. The list of buried stuff in the bills that are coming out is staggering.

They Came by Pastor Martin Niemöller

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Yup that was the life for both my brothers (born in 1945 and 1950, me in 57). They kicked it just in time that is for sure.

Meow

I have found it is useless trying to have discourse with them. I just meow at them. It’s fun and confuses them.
