Gamer Girls

It’s something called Time Commando.

0:30 – John Riggs says that he was working at Rite Aid when he was 19 or 20.

I never did any of that. Working in retail or fast food. I was delivering pizza when I was 20. This was a fairly lucrative job before these delivery companies took over. I’d make between $100 and $150/day, all cash. By comparison, the next job I had was working in a casino and that paid $7.25/hour so $58/day. Like five years later, I was working as a substitute teacher and making $72/day. So that pizza delivery job was the most lucrative job I had for many years.

Although, I made $15/hour in the mental asylum so that’s $120. Comparable, I guess. But I’d much rather deliver pizzas than deal with that nightmare factory.

I was reading an interesting webcomic recently. As here:

https://elan.school/

It really reminded me of my own life. Right down to the anal fissures. I wouldn’t wish anal fissures on anyone, not even Newt Wallen.

Now for the revolting part of the story. If you don’t want to read about anal fissures, and you definitely don’t, just stop reading at this point. I’m giving a clear anal fissure trigger warning.

So I was like 25 years old. I was living with my mother. This wasn’t long before I moved. I’m sitting at my computer, playing Civilization II or something, when suddenly my anus spasmed. I remember this vividly. I wasn’t doing anything weird. I wasn’t sticking a finger up there or anything. I was just sitting and playing the game.

So I thought, “Well, that was weird.” Then maybe 30 seconds later, it happened again. And again and again and again. Every 30 seconds or so.

I go to the bathroom and I’m thinking maybe I have to take a shit or something. No. And these spasms just keep happening. The room starts spinning and before I know it, I’m on the floor, passed out.

This spasming went on for like nine months. Diffiicult to sleep. Difficult to do anything. Every 30 seconds your anus is spasming. It’s torture. Nine months of that. It doesn’t stop.

I didn’t go to a doctor because I didn’t have insurance and it’s not something you want to go to a doctor for anyway. Is there anything that a doctor could have done? I don’t know and I don’t want to look it up.

Gradually, after months, The spasms would become less frequent. Once a minute and then gradually it was once every two minutes, whatever. Like that. And eventually it stopped entirely. But what a horrendous experience that was.

I don’t know what the cause was. I think that constipation. Because it’s damage that causes this and I read that constipation can do it.

Maybe five years later, I was living in London, and I took a shit and the toilet was full of blood. And ever since then, I’ve had sporadic problems with blood in the stool. Not so much in the past…ten years or so. I don’t know if these two things are related or not. If I avoid spicy food, it basically never happens.

So that’s the story of my ass. And the guy in this comic also describes being similarly afflicted. This isn’t really a spoiler, it’s just a throw away line in the comic, but I found it interesting.

I’ve never considered donating to anyone but this comic really spoke to me. Aside from the anal stuff, the “school” that he went to reminded me of the mental health facility that I worked in. And there are a lot of other similarities, I don’t want to ruin the story. So I think I’ll send him some money.

So back to John Riggs who may or may not have had anal fissures. I mean, he seems to have had a lot of afflictions. And he’s a big fat guy. I think that big fat guys have particular problems with digestive tract problems due to increased use.

3:45 – And now a word from our scam sponsor. What is it this time, Riggs? Buying shares of sneakers again?

Oh, it’s a service where you pay money to these scam websites that publish people’s phone numbers and addresses and criminal records and whatever and this service will contact these companies and, allegedly, the companies will take the information down.

Yeah, I don’t think so. First of all, those websites are scams and they’re run by criminals. They often charge a fee to take your name off and even then they might not remove your name. And you’d have to do the same for the thousand other sites like this.

This is only a problem in the US, by the way. This does not happen anywhere else. There’s no website where I can look up somebody’s name in the UK and they’ll list the person’s phone number, address, where they work, their relatives, their criminal record, et cetera. It would be totally unheard of. But the fat cats running the US don’t give a fuck about people’s personal autonomy or data protection or anything like this. So these scam websites have free reign.

This scam app that John Riggs is promoting won’t do shit. Even he says that the companies, “Have a legal obligation to remove your name.” Who gives a shit? Even if it’s true, which I’m not sure it is, the people running these websites have no regard for the law.

Only $12/month for this useless, scam product. And you need it in perpetuity because new sites pop up all the time and they’re not going to fucking remove your details anyway.

5:00 – So John Riggs starts playing the game. Finally. After that boring as fuck story. He just got the game at Toys R Us. Wow. Tell us more, John Riggs.

7:45 – He puts it on “easy” mode. The Erin Plays school of “gaming”.

Anyway, John Riggs sucks ass at the game and quickly gives up.

Pinned comment is John Riggs promoting this scam product. Somebody replies with “Vote Trump.”

I’m glad to see Trump doing well in these primary elections. Why do the Jews who control the media have it out for this guy so much? What did he do during his presidency that was so awful? What did he do that was any different from any other American president? None of them give a shit about the average person. They’re all working for big business. What did he do that was so egregious?

I know about some of the conspiracy theories but why is the average person on the street so outraged by Trump? Is it merely that they’ve bought the media hysterics about him? He was talking about building that wall on the southern border. That seems to be the main thing. Right? But why would people give a shit about that? Poland built a wall to keep immigrants out. Finland built a wall to keep immigrants out. Nobody is calling Poland and Finland out for this. Neither Poland nor Finland are fascist countries. It’s not outrageous to secure one’s borders.

To be clear, I’m not saying that people should vote for Trump. I’m saying that he’s as callous and destructive as any other US president for the past 50 years. He has the same agenda as every other president since Reagan: redistribution of the wealth upwards. If you think that Biden or any other presidential candidate is any different, you’re not paying very close attention.
