    It’s a biological drive. Animals have evolved to desire multiple partners because it increases the chance of genetically healthy offspring.

    Many people are completely controlled by their reptilian brain and their instinctual desires.

    Humans are susceptible to programming. We learn how to behave from our environment. The culture uses hyper sexuality to attract attention of the animal brain. This has caused it a feedback loop of extreme hyper sexuality. Good luck navigating this world if you’ve avoided it and are trying to find a partner that does the same.



  • Myth The Fallen Lords and Myth 2 on the Macintosh. This was my favorite multiplayer game I’ve ever played by far.

    Other great Mac games from my youth: The Odyssey (1994) by David Larkin Sim City and Sim City 2000 Rogue Sim Ant Prince of Persia The Scarab of Ra Realmz Path Ways into Darkness and Marathon

    And my favorites on BBS were Major Mud and Legend of the Red Dragon.

    I didn’t have a PC, but when I went to friend’s houses I would play the shit out of Doom.


  • This was inspired from The Black Key’s talking about Bobby Fingers on JRE, but couldn’t remember his name. So he made a diorama and a song in the style of the Black Eye Keys to help them remember his name the next time they go on a podcast.

    Coincidentally, I also recently referenced Bobby Fingers because of the Drunk Mel Gibson Diorama video. And, much like the Drummer for the Blacks Eye Keys, I also couldn’t remember the name. Just like Joe Rogan, my spouse quickly changed the subject to UFOs and UFCs.

    You better believe I won’t forget the name of Old Bobby Fingers after I listen to this amazing song every day of the rest of my short, miserable existence. I can’t stop hearing my own inner dialogue in the voice of Bobby Fingers now. Send help.







  • I thought the same thing when I was looking at the first volume! It was a really weird time to grow up in. I was about 12-14 when my friends introduced me to BBSes. We had a main one that was really small and you could only stay online for a short period of time every day for free, so we would try to catch each other there after school. I can’t remember how many concurrent users it supported, but maybe it was 8. There were a few bigger ones we would use too after our minutes ran out. The news paper had a BBS as well that supported a lot of people, but it didn’t have fun games or other kids to talk to, so that one was boring.

    There were women that used the BBS regularly. I went on a blind date with a girl at a pizza place. Her friends were there too and it was about as uncomfortable as a blind date can be. I also became friends with a girl at my school from the BBS. We talked online and realized we had some classes together. I was surprised she was into such a nerdy hobby at the time because she was a cheerleader and a “cool kid.”

    The craziest BBS memory for me is that, 10 years ago, someone at my work recognized me from a BBS. A lady stopped me when I was walking to the break room and said she knew me and my friends from back in the day. I didn’t remember her or all the details of the BBSes that she was talking about, but she threw out names of a lot of people. She was one of the older teenagers that hung out online. Some of those kids would have IRL meetups at pizza places and stuff. We didn’t really interact much online with the older kids, but we knew a little bit about them and they knew about us. You definitely wanted to talk to everyone and figure out who they were and if they were someone you could be get along with. New users were exciting.

    I miss that old era. I remember the day that our main BBS had a connection to “The Internet”. I didn’t know what it meant at the time. But I think it basically connected you to IRC or something similar. You could join hundreds of chat rooms and talk to so many people. It was overwhelming. Up until then, I only talked to people in my city/area code. Sometime later my family signed up for an internet provider (never AOL thankfully). There was a period of overlap where I would log into the old BBS after using up my daily minutes on my family’s dial up internet plan.

    Tildes sounds intriguing. I will check it out.

    Every bit of information that we can think and share is a meme.

    “Memes (discrete units of knowledge, gossip, jokes and so on) are to culture what genes are to life. Just as biological evolution is driven by the survival of the fittest genes in the gene pool, cultural evolution may be driven by the most successful memes.” —Richard Dawkins
