The early 00s were a dark age for photos. No one could be bothered to carry a film camera, if they did, no one was making physical photo albums anymore so they are likely lost somewhere. Digital cameras were expensive and shitty Hard drives were unreliable, the only way you still have these photos is if you burned them to a CD or DVD

Believe it or not, my wife. One decaf coffee a day. Finishes half of it. Works out at the gym or something most mornings. No meds. Rare 3 sips of alcohol at social events. Earns a shitload of income, is killing it at work, sexy, mentally healthy, stable, supportive. She's making the rest of us look bad.

Then if you make any internet post about it, comments be like: "excuse me good sir, but may I inquire what you do for work? 🧐" "I can't understand what would possess someone to buy a car like that" "Not my cup of tea but to each his own 🧐" "Should've got a Miata" "his penis is surely small" "Cool buddy, thanks for killing the environment single-handedly"

I grew up going to my dad's work partner's house for parties during holiday season. They had a son around the same age as me - the parents were convinced bro was an absolute genius because he reportedly beat myst by himself. I still never played it more than just an hour or so at his house. is it worth it? And would a (guessing at our past age) 10 year old or so be a genius for completing it?

I had no idea at the time but now I'm guessing it was just supposed to be a play on the word annoyed. Like, don't get annoyed, get dominoes, that kind of thing.
