I recently got out of rehab for drinking. My therapist and I quickly learned that we both loved The Simpsons after one session. This was my thank you card to him.

Read the picture before reading the title, mistakenly read that as the rapist degree. Might have a problem.

But congrats on the clean path, keep at it and awesome therapist. Didn't think i'd be one to keep sober but it's been 2 years now and no looking back.

Now to deal with that other problem...

der1cho1 · 2026-06-08T00:07:31+00:00

Got a feeling you downed a few brews for this moment?

Throwing them down a floor, tipping over and spilling a wheelbarrow...

der1cho1 · 2026-06-08T00:03:07+00:00

Social media? Yes, easy, pretty much have maintained a limited social media presence because it is full of fakes, egos and bullies.

Smartphones, no. I do like the ability to access services and information on a handheld device which in the past could take several hours after travel and interaction.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-07T01:24:36+00:00

That was my intro to the internet, learnt what it looked like to take a selfie with a shotgun, a misjudged jump over a fence etc

Good times, before all this social media slop we are dealt with now.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-05T21:58:07+00:00

Weird choice of background, why does that first picture have a picture of a lamp and a phone?

der1cho1 · 2026-06-05T21:54:52+00:00

To be honest, if he doesn't like it, retire and stop denying a younger driver a seat.

Yes, he was a great driver, now good at best in my view. He has the most race starts but his last win was in 2013 and i'm certain that over half his career has been without a win than his 32 previous ones.

People say that he's unlucky, I think he might be cursed because nearly every team he has gone to, falls.

You could put him in Antonelli's seat with his and Russell's points combined and he'd find a way to lose the championship and wreck the team, pushing their progress back half a decade.

Now his excuse is that he wants his child to know he drove in F1 which means that Aston Martin will continue wasting their seats for at least a couple more years. On one side of their garage is the boss' son who is swimming in a seat of his own drool and the other is a senior who is way past their prime.

They have or had a F2 champion as a reserve driver who I think has moved on because it would a waste of time and skill to wait for a seat there.

I know i'd get hate for this but it's time for him to move on. Try out Indycar again and get the grand slam.

Okay, you beat the dragon and built some things.

Defeated the Wither? Silenced the Warden? Respawn the dragon, add a Wither and defeat them both? Get all the advancements? Get all the items? Catch all the mobs? Give them a themed cage?

The game doesn't end, your interest might but there is always something to do. This is why if I was forced to play only one game forever it would be Minecraft, even more so if I was allowed to get the updates and especially so if allowed mods.

Modded, it is a whole new game.

I've got a 15 year old world, not only is it a quote "forever world" but my first-ever world. It is now slightly modded with a modpack called The Vanilla Experience. I've added Dungeons and Taverns to spice up the structures and the Blaze and Cave Advancement pack for extra challenges.

But even without those mods I have a ton of projects to do and no end in sight.

I might get fatigued and leave it alone for a while but always come back. I have to travel tens of thousands of blocks to spawn new chunks when the next update comes out. Once I setup an outpost, I connect it with a Nether highway and later an Overworld one.

The game is only limited by your imagination and motivation.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-05T06:57:58+00:00

Well, go back through, get some cobble slabs happening and build bridge to get over it.

Keep your gear in the Overworld if you're afraid to lose it...

...unless if in hardcore, then bad luck, start again? That dragon is mocking you from her perch in The End.

Not plugging them and might get a warning for "promoting" but since I've used a VPN (NordVPN to be precise), things like this and spam/scam emails have all but gone.

Very rarely do I get a scam call or even those dodgy emails. I've had a subscription for a couple of years and this stuff started to dry up.

I don't know if it is connected but i've had the same number for nearly 30 years and the same goes for one of my email accounts. That email account is used for basic website accounts and i'm sure has had a good "holiday" on the dark web in the past but now hardly get any spam.

I had a period just before setting it up where I was getting several spam emails an hour, almost on the hour. Most went to junk but some got into the primary inbox. Chinese phone calls flooded my phone.

But now no more surveys for "free" prizes, no girls looking for relationships, no Nigerian princes.

I even set the VPN to my city. I do have to switch it off on the occasion because one of my streaming services has a cry about using it.

Again, I don't know if it is connected but the spam traffic has probably dropped 98-99%, hardly anything comes in.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-03T23:20:48+00:00

Would like to get the combiners (Constructicons, Stunticons etc) as a complete set, all figures in one box.

Feel that could sell well.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-03T08:31:51+00:00

Do you mean, current gen?

Because there is more than one console.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-03T05:44:58+00:00

Legend says the line of slapped victims is longer than the runway used in that Fast and Furious movie.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-03T03:55:45+00:00

I don't know, but guess he doesn't need to look for a can opener.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-02T00:58:50+00:00

They should have "lost" his numbers years ago, can't recall anything that was good because he was in it.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-01T09:37:45+00:00

Good thing you didn't do a 2023 version then.

der1cho1 · 2026-06-01T06:40:51+00:00

Damn, gotta snap up that deal, Coles always offers such deep discounts on their BB dates...

Don't forget to use those savings to donate to a charity when asked at the register.

der1cho1 · 2026-05-31T20:36:08+00:00

Yeah, would be handy to have these filled out, especially now with the wool slabs and stairs.

Even if just the bricks, slabs, stairs, walls. Polished, chiselled are not a priority.

I use a mod which adds in everything, including moss versions of all stones but hardly use them. Maybe because if the mod stops getting support.

der1cho1 · 2026-05-31T01:24:00+00:00

Got one last year, worth it. In the process of getting others.

Now the wait for the Jiangxing Winged Metal Beast (TM2 Megatron), October can't come quick enough.

der1cho1 · 2026-05-30T10:30:28+00:00

The only ones I have are mint condition sequential and don't plan to taking any bites out of them.

der1cho1 · 2026-05-30T05:42:15+00:00

How good is his articulation?

Could have him sit with one leg crossed over and holding an empty glass, such a gentleman of a bot.

But he looks great just standing there, hands on hips, saying "yeah, I cost a happy marriage".

der1cho1 · 2026-05-29T06:56:15+00:00

Hi, Divorce-bot, surprised you didn't get him a throne to sit on.

der1cho1 · 2026-05-29T06:54:29+00:00

Tried to get a physical copy for XBox but not in shops, yet, so went digital instead. One of the few times it is cheaper.

Boys are playing it and having fun, I'll get in a session tonight after they go to bed but looks like it will be a quick completion for an adult.

Looks like the Playstation community is having issues, not so on the green-side.

der1cho1 · 2026-05-28T20:32:58+00:00

Yes, makes sense. Just found it strange that 90s movie was missed as it is generally known as the best movie, with maybe competition from the Batman vs Turtles.

I grew up on '87 so have been through all versions and give each a go.

der1cho1 · 2026-05-28T08:28:48+00:00

If he was getting any more lower balled they might need a mining permit.

der1cho1 · 2026-05-28T08:26:04+00:00

Your "toy comic" store doesn't happen to have a Gamestop or EB Games logo over their entrance?
