I just recently got back into minecraft. Man it’s addicting. Like I’ll just chop down one more tree before bed annnddd now it’s two hours later.

They’re boot lick’en good!

A few of them, we are still friends, and they did find their own success, but most of them I have no idea what happened after I moved away. A lot of these friendships were born of necessity and only surface level.

At night on walks!? We are talking about the dangers of walking alone at night. Are 13 year old boys afriad to walk in the park because they will get jumped by pedophiles of the opposite gender?

It is good advice if you can save the money. One of the things I learned when I was desperately poor is you must lean on your community of other poor poeple. Trading favors is how we survived. If my friend didn’t have enough for food we fed them. We worked on each other’s cars. We had to live close to each other because we didn’t have gas money or reliable transportation. It sucked.

Now that I have escaped the poverty trap and have an emergency fund, it’s like I’ve activated a cheat code. Everything it easier when you have immediate money.

Agreed, I wish people built better instead of just slapping AC over the problem.

Problem is, I moved somewhere cold so I wouldn’t have to run the AC, and now summers here are just as hot as they were where I grew up. I can’t take the heat but it seems to be following me wherever I go.

Starlink is the only thing that works at my house. It is amazing. The difference between the less than dial up speeds of Hugesnet and the damn near Comcast high speed that is Starlink. It’s the only way I can view the internet as more than just text blocks.

Could never pick a lock either. I quit because I couldn’t hit anything with a bow and that noble guy made fun of me.

I got stuck on a table leg. So that was fun.

Right now, climate change. This planet was a paradise and we ruined it for ourselves. I don’t think we have very long before ecosystems just start breaking down in massive ways.

Sometimes I just want to go back to bed, and never leave it again. No more going to work, no more grocery shopping, no more chores, just me laying in my bed cozy and warm.

If we could all stop using wrenches on the wing nut wings and snapping them off that would be great. Either get the wing nuts with the wrench base or hand tighten only!

I still have dvds and a dvd player like an old person for just this reason.

This is going to be a weird suggestion, but I used to do professional stage makeup including wigs and bald caps. Has your mom considered getting a partial wig? Maybe a Mohawk or side hawk? It would have to be glued by a professional hair stylist, but it would be an excellent way to have hair but without sweating under a wig. Best of luck to your mom! Losing hair sucks.

I have covid brain right now, I am saving this for when I can comprehend things again.

I think it was either frogger on the Commodore or a handful of early Atri games. (I am old and will die soon.)

I do not have a penis so I must ask…wouldn’t that hurt? Like a lot?

Things must be getting bad bc instead of a greeter checking recipes, not my walmart has loss prevention guys dressed like vested mall cops.

This is what I did, except I’m in the USA. I had to contact the FCC directly because my phone and internet provider just pretty much quit working. Turns out they were doing repairs in our area and just didn’t tell anyone to expect interruptions. If your ISP won’t take you seriously now, they will if you file an informal complaint with the FCC or other comparable agency.
