  • Starting to think about a Neu-Amish movement where we just stop with tech advancements post 2020 and live like it’s 2019 again. Shit, I’ll give up LTE and 5g to live in a world without social media.

    With the prices of hardware recently, I think we’re headed towards re-using old tech for a long time. I’m a professional programmer, and I’m still on my machine from 2018 with no fucking chance of upgrade for the forseeable future. Not even fucking ram. I was going to upgrade to 32gb , but ram prices skyrocketed right when I was about to buy some.



  • There’s a reason I’m back in the area I grew up. Only half of it is food.

    As a perpetual Turkish foreigner, my visits back home are lists of dishes and family members.

    My dad hates it because I’m fat and he’s feuding with the rest of the family.

    But you try knowing pastırma, sucuk , mantı and kazandibi and not getting to eat it years at a time.

    A few months ago I ended up making kokoreç out of chinchulines and fistfuls of cumin and oregano

    Jerry: The whole concept of the wanted poster has gotta be the most wildly optimistic crime-fighting idea. I mean, so how does it work? Okay. I’m on line at the post office. I see the guy. I see the list of offenses. I check the guy standing in line behind me. If it’s not him, that’s pretty much all I can do. Okay? It’s not that I don’t want to help. You know the annoying thing is, why didn’t they hold on to this guy when they’re taking his picture? “No, we don’t do it that way. We take their picture and we let them go. That’s how we get the front and side shot. The front is his face. The side is him leaving.”

    Amber alert scared the shit out of me the one time I was in the US.

    I was on my way back, just finished boarding, checking I had everything and suddenly my phone was vibrating louder than it ever did and it scared the shit out of me.

    “AMBER ALERT SOME FLIPPING PERSONS NAME”

    Yeah dude, I’ll get on that as I end up 7k miles away
