Well woosh on me.

It’s a joke. It’s a reference to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy where the answer to the ultimate question is 42. It’s designed to not make sense.

Wow. I hate that kid. Did he have ‘that’ personality that comes off in this video?

My friend. Revanced is the solution to your troubles.

That sucks but it’s not a dick move on your part. Was literally talking to a coworker who did that to a friend decades ago (he’s in his early 60s) and said he would basically shack up in everyone’s basement until they kicked him out. Sometimes weeks, sometimes months, living off others good will until none was left.

I never thought about this but this happens to me occasionally. I often put my arm under my head and pillow for support and comfort. Maybe once every couple weeks I’ll wake up and it’s numb or fully asleep.

I don’t have an answer but I’m 34, this has been happening my whole life, and I haven’t noticed any issues.

This one is pretty hilarious. I would 100% assume you’re buying booze for people you are way too young to be hanging out with.

I buy a 6 pack of smirnoff ice once per year. My buddy loves golfing on his birthday and I hide ices throughout his bag, cart, and course because even in our mid 30s it’s funny to see someone chug an ice while on one knee.

Nice try 9 out of 10 dentists. /s

Eh not really. I have the yellow Pikachu Gameboy color. But I’m a big Halo fan (hence the username) so I’ve focused on collecting all the Halo special edition Xboxs. Only missing 5 and Infinite. 5 is relatively cheap I just haven’t got it yet and the Infinite Series X is jacked up in price since there were so few made and it was released during the pandemic when sclapers were doing their thing.

Other than than mostly Xbox and Nintendo systems going back to SNES.

A real video game set up. I have 17 consoles in the house and over 450 games.

I even have the old CRT TV with an AV switcher hooked up so I can switch between consoles quickly without having to mess with any wires.

I think I have both your problems solved. If money isn’t an issue the bureaucracy is a nuisance but not inhibiting as you can pay someone to file all the appropriate paperwork. The language barrier is even easier. I have been to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland and did not meet a single person that didn’t fluently speak English. Not saying they don’t exist, but operating in most any western European country is very easy as an English speaker. Also you’ll pick up the language over time. Immersion is the best way to learn a language, or so I hear.

Voice my opinion and participate in local government? Preposterous! /s

They had some public forums on it a couple years ago. I did not go but they did release a survey online shortly after that I completed. Took less than 5 min and I did submit my preference to keep it undeveloped as a park.

I’m gonna catch hate for this but I enjoy golf. I don’t play often, 5-10 times per year at most however nothing beats a day out with the boys, plenty of beer and joints, and smacking lil balls around with crooked sticks.

Having said that my local muni 5 min down the road has 3 18 hole courses. They shut one down a little over 4 years ago and didn’t know what to do with it, so in the meantime, being county owned land, they turned it into a park. They didnt change anything. The first year was odd, it felt like you were walking on a golf course with a broken lawn mower. Now, 4 years later, it’s completely wild and I love it. Some trees have begun to crack and grow through the pathways and there is so much wildlife everywhere from deer to coyotes to birds and so many small mice and chipmunks.

It really is quite peaceful and beautiful out there. The county decided to permanently leave as a park and it feels like a small escape from everyday life. There are about 5 miles of trails as well as a connection to an adjacent park with a couple more miles of wooded trails and a small lake for catch and release fishing. The maintenance there is next to zero and it rarely ever has more than 4 or 5 cars in the lot, making it rare to see anyone out there. I take my dog out there at least 2-3 times per week.

I fully support returning unused land back to nature. It’s quite exciting to see it slowly transform over time.

Competition is good. BYD cars are significantly less expensive than Tesla. It seems most major car manufacturers are pricing their new EVs at least $50-60k+ with a few exceptions. I’m sure US lawmakers will impose tariffs and laws targeting BYD coming into the US allowing US automakers to keep their car prices artificially high for the sake of corporate profit, stifling competition instead of forcing automakers to adapt and reduce pricing.

I agree with you but there are more ethical ways to eat meat while also saving money. Last year my wife and I purchased 1/4 of an entire cow from a farm about 35 miles north of us (friends and family bought the other 3/4). This cow was responsibly raised, grass fed, on a small, local farm. We received 200 pounds of meat with probably a dozen different cuts of meat. This includes dozens of pounds of excellent steak and the meat is simply amazing. We will definitely be going this route moving forward as we averaged the price per pound to ~$4/lb which is far less than the local grocery.

I understand this isn’t possible for everyone as we also had to purchase a chest freezer which requires space but has made our grocery bill far smaller and the meat we are eating much better in many ways.

I generally stick to fantasy and historical fiction. Just read Fire and Blood which I loved and I’m almost done with Prisoners of the Castle which is pretty decent, an odd chapter in WWII history akin to the Battle of Schrute Farms in the Civil War.

My wife bakes, reads, and does pilates.

I’m lazy so I play video games and drink. Though I’ve reduced the booze intake and tried reading at least 1 book every 8 weeks. I’m also trying to be more consistent at the gym 2-3x per week instead of 2-3 times per month which inadvertently became the norm the past few years.

We both like board games, puzzles, and a good binge of a show we both like. Also sex.

Craigslist for basic stuff is pretty chill these days. List as local pick up only, ignore anyone asking you to ship it or doing anything weird, and arrange a local pick up in a police station parking lot or in the middle of the day at the gas station of your local mega-grocery chain. 60% of the time, it works every time. I give a lot of my old crap to goodwill and may occasionally sell something on eBay but that’s rare, like mr. clean with hair.

And now my watch has ended.

Main floor is about 600 sq ft. I’d say 40% is carpeted. It’s a pretty normal carpet, not shag but not that super short stuff.

We actually went with a nicer one because we had just adopted a puppy and wanted one that wouldn’t smear shit all over the house in case the dog went inside. It was an irobot brand, it was about $500.
