I did this with having no kids.
“Ohh I’m not in a position to create a good life for an offspring.”
“Ohh now I’m over 40 no kids for me, I guess it’s better anyway. The climate catastrophe is real the World is on fire.”

Aside of the things others mentioned, it helps with developing good balance and that could save a lot of grief for older people.

Input Input Input! I’m addicted to continuous inputs and reactions.
If i can keep my brain running I do not need a phone. I’m happy with a good book for hours.

The thing that comes only with age is: to not give a fuck.

When we learn that it doesn’t matter we can all be little old people who are purple mohawk headed, wearing clashing neon adidas jumpsuit with zebra primted boas.

I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.

Half of the cars (okay 25% ish) in Nevada using California plates to save on insurance… I hope this will help this trend.

Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: “A gentleman can settle the bill later”.

The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won’t lie.

It is escapism. Romance usually has very few things that’s real. I mean that most romance stories are more alike to a fairytale than reality.

Most movies and books are 98% predictable with the well-known cliches. And that makes them work. Beig wealthy is just an other thing that makes it going.

Most girls were raised on the price charming idea, and a rich, wealthy and emotionally available person fits the bill.

Reality of barely making rent and having no money to fix your car or even just daily struggle to find childcare for a date would break the dream.

When you are watching romance you want the fuzzy feels, the safe environment that everything going to be alright and happy ending is guaranteed. Love, money, heath and safe environment - with tons of loving friends and family - now that’s what people want to dream of.

I think once I saw a web browser that made websites look like its code. So you were looking for bugs while browsing.

I have a beefcake laptop, that could fold into a tablet. But I still usually use it as a desktop computer: connected to all the periferials, speakers and a monitor, folded up to be a secondary monitor on the side.
While I had some cooling issues with it (had to cough up couple hundreds for repairs) I am still happy with the setup.
The phone is for during the day, some mobile only games and for reading books - tho I do like to listen to TTS when my eyes are busy.

And this is why I only buy already dying / discounted plants. Less guilt that way. :)

Honestly I just blocked those posts. It did make my experience better.

Those “cheap” Asian EV’s look like bare bone vehicles. But you get what you are paying for.
For once I wouldn’t suggest to buy an old first gen EV. They are unpredictable, and have a lot of different issues.

The saying is hard to translate to English:
They can’t see the forest behind the tree - that they were stuck on looking at.

An other one:
They can’t find the udder between the horns.

I don’t know what kind of trigger warning would be needed for Disney discussions so I’m not commenting on that part.
The warning label for Disney could be that some of them are old and full of historical bias. And historical bias is the political correct way of saying that some works are full of racism and sexism.

Long time ago I saw a pigeon build a nest on a window sill, a place where there was nothing to anchor it to. They even laid two eggs before a storm hit and blew the whole thing away. :( Tho it was a pigeon nest and they are famously bad at building…

And this is one more reason why we need better accessibility in newly released games.

:) Right now I’m back to digital crafting = programming. So nothing to write home about. I did try to find some like-minded people over here, but it’s not easy here. I’m living in Las Vegas. And that means we are immigrants from dozens of different countries and basically 10% of born Americans were raised here. No history and virtually no community in this facade of a city. Probably I would have more luck in a small one gas station town :D
What are you crafting these days?
