Because everyone is different and you can’t judge literally everyone based off of one person. I had to teach myself this at 18 when my ex girlfriend completely shattered every ounce of a heart I had.
Fuck that person in particular, and no one else.
That would be like if I had a kid 11 years ago. I cannot imagine having a kid now, let alone 11 years ago when I was 18.
StackExchange was the most discouraging place I ever asked a question as a beginner.
The two questions I ever asked were immediately downvoted to 0 before an answer was even given. And then the answer basically called out my errors without explaining how to fix them. The most helpful replies were people just giving me a full set of code that worked, but they never explained how it worked.
So I went back to lurking and hoping someone else has my question.
I was in middle school, just discovering retro game collecting. I got tons I’d NES, SNES, and N64 games for pennies on the dollar, compared to today. It was a terrible time in terms of school, but a wonderful time in terms of exploring my hobbies.
I had just met my best friend at the time. Finding someone with as much anxiety as me was helpful.
Mario Party 9 was so bad I think I only played it one time.
The moment I saw the car thing and read that there was no way to get around it, we quit and went back to the older games.
What’s that? Could be a plane. Or maybe a train locomotive. Maybe an old Pontiac even.
Bags of baby carrots are nice.
Also those cans of fruit with no sugar added. I call those adult fruit cups.
That computer will do everything you listed, and be able to run most coding environments if you choose to do that as well. And 250 bucks is a great price, I’d say.
I’m not going to give up, but I’ve really stagnated on upgrades over the past decade.
I used to get a new phone every year back when you could do that for $100 a year. Now I go five years between.
My last computer was built in 2012 and I used it until October 2024, and could have kept using it. It was fully upgraded and played all new games on high settings fine. That said, I’m extremely glad I did a new build in October 2024.
And then you have consoles. One has no exclusives and is dead, the other has two exclusives and is there, and the other is Nintendo and is expensive and has its own lineup issues, depending on who you ask.
Tech is stagnating hard and has been for a while. Buy the mid range or high end of what you can afford and acquire right now, and then sit on it for a decade.
I don’t often notice my typos,
But when do, it’s after a day and a ton of interaction with said comment.
My girlfriend let me take over our whole dining room table with my childhood Lionel trains. Things are good right now.
My girlfriend and I managed to get it to a 3 week rotation. Turns out living in a city is exhausting, so we try to go out as little as possible.
Whereas my mom will go out every day to buy groceries to make dinner that night. That may be the difference between being bored and retired and being, whatever tf I am.
Yep, that’s also one of the reasons I came here. This feels like old reddit. I like the plethora of apps that are fully customizable, also like the old days of reddit. It really was a great time until it wasn’t. This community is much more open. Transparency here is a wonderful thing, something that reddit lost a long time ago.
I can help you spoof the API and get your favorite third party app going again, if you really want. I was using RIF up until a few weeks ago. Still works too, I just got banned and decided it wasn’t worth it to start over.
Well, I guess to be completely honest with you guys
I got banned from reddit after 13+ years and over half a million comment karma. Same username if you want to go take a trip.
There was a post in the game collecting sub and the guy, a European, had a MAGA hat in the background. People were going back and forth, as they do. One guy then says that a European having a MAGA hat as a novelty souvenir is fine. To which I responded, Nazis only belong 6 feet under. I was slightly worried that a simpleton may interpret it as a threat, but I figured there’s no way someone with common sense and critical thinking skills would think that.
Well, of course this one hit a little close to home to the admins, big surprise, and I was permanently banned. 13 years and 500,000 points later, I get banned for saying nazis deserve to be dead.
Honestly, I’m not surprised given how the site was going. Posts being removed, comments being deleted. That used to happen back in the day but never to the degree that it is happening now.
My only chuckle on the way out is knowing I modified the reddit API to use third party apps long after they were shut down.
I do wish this place was a bit more active, but it’s still pretty good. It’s not like I don’t have alts on reddit anyway. My only regret was not selling my account for a ton of money before it got banned. Oh well lol
Environmental consulting. It’s a lot of office work, but there is still field work that can fall outside of the normal hours, but usually not by much.
Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. My ADHD thrives on a normal fixed schedule. Emergency field work is always a mental exercise.
GTA VI will be delayed again.
The only game like this I really play is Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. I refuse to pay real money, so I get two packs a day. It’s good for a 15 minute burst of… not quite dopamine, and then you’re off.
Similarly, Pokémon Quest is a game that falls exactly into this category with a charge system that depletes after every short level and reacharges once per hour, to a max of 5 in the beginning. I played it when new and then just recently went back and played it quite heavily, again. That is until I accidently undid something that took me a week of RNG to get, so I quit.
Generally, I hate the mobile game charge system, though. At that point, I’d rather just pay for a full version. And paying for charges is not the same thing.
We are. We have been.
