2 minutes! I’ve never played one of these games and I’ll probably suck ass at it but I want to try all the same.

The even weirder thing was this coworker quit his job a week after the wedding.

One of the first things I did when joining kbin was start blocking many of the meme communities. It’s just not for me. Same reason I deleted my Facebook all those years ago. The ONE exception is LOTRmemes because come on

Same here. I’ve had mine for a few weeks and I love it. The battery life is amazing too, I charge it once a week.

Which book? I’ve never heard of him before today but after reading a few articles I’d like to check out one of his books. Googling sends me quite a few results.

The 7 hour drive I had last week included one stop for gas, but that’s it. We usually refer to the amount of time the gps says it will take.

Pay off my mortgage, invest it and live off the interest, and spend the rest of my life traveling with my wife

I’m the opposite. I live in the midwestern US so when it’s hot, it’s also humid. If my room is above 72F I can’t even sleep, I just sweat right through the sheets. On the other hand, when it’s 40F out, I’ll open my windows and sleep in my boxers.

I’m 34 (male) and my brother is 31. He’s my best friend (besides my wife) but he moved like 10 hours away so we try to fly a couple of times a year to hang out. We text every day multiple times.

So tonight is my third night at this hotel. It’s amazing, seriously. High quality, amazing rainfall marble shower, a great hotel bar with bartenders who actually know how to make a proper Old Fashioned, everything. This worked out very well and I’m going to immediately book them for next year’s trip when I get home. Also the TV comes up out of the footboard of the bed and that alone deserves some points.

I waited until this morning because I needed to find a replacement first. Pretty much every hotel within an hours drive of the track is booked solid most years. I would have canceled regardless most likely, and just gone back to doing a campsite at the track but I was hoping to find something better which I definitely did.

Same thing as Lemmy, just a different site but it’s federated as well. Lemmy can see kbin content and we can see Lemmy content. I’m replying from kbin right now.

I have Firefox set to automatically do all that whenever I close my browser but it’s still somewhat of an issue on kbin. Not enough to bother me but it happens.

Just kbin and discord, I have no other social media.

Funny that this thread hit my feed last night. I don’t have a special story to tell, but every summer my buddy and I go to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin to Road America to watch some racing. We used to camp but we’re in our mid thirties now so I’m a bit over sleeping outside in the summer. We’ve stayed in some cheap hotels before because that’s really all my buddy can afford. No big deal, don’t wanna break the bank for him so I’m down staying in a subpar hotel.

Cue me reading this thread last night and remembering I booked at the Super 8 Motel in Sheboygan. I go back to my booking and look at the reviews. Reports of bed bugs, holes in the walls, broken AC, ground level windows without locks, all that. Also reports of sketchy people hanging out in the parking lot all hours of the night, drinking and yelling. I find a slightly better place nearby but not that much better. Then I decided to expand my search radius to include Fond Du Loc. I find a place that looks fancy as fuck with an average review score of 9.4/10 on Hotels.com called the Hotel Retlaw. It’s $20 more each per night (4 night stay).

At this point I have 3 hours left to cancel my Super 8 Motel reservation before I can’t get a refund. I call my buddy, send him a link to the Hotel Retlaw, and said dude, I will cover the difference for you ($80 extra each if you are down for me to switch it up). He agrees immediately, I cancel the reservations at the shit box motel and book these. I’m out an extra $160 total but that’s SO worth it for a nice place to stay, especially when we’re outside sweating all day. The whole weekend ticket is only $160 so it’s not an expensive vacation.

I leave tomorrow morning so I’ll report back about it if I remember, but if you read all this, look up those two places and tell me how different they look for an insignificant price increase. I have a feeling if I didn’t read this thread and go search again, I’d be posting here after this weekend about getting bed bugs or some shit.

I still remember watching the OC back in high school and seeing them play a Playstation game with an Xbox controller. I think about it sometimes.

I came across one earlier that was about as low quality as it gets. It was a thread about some big car accident and the only reply was “/c/fuckcars”. No commentary on the actual article, no attempt at starting any actual discussion, just a pithy one liner that serves no purpose other than grabbing some upvotes and killing any chance of discussion. I still haven’t seen TOO much of that yet but I find it weird that someone would make the effort to come to the fedi just to do the same low effort shit they were doing on Reddit. It’s disappointing but at the same time, my short time on the fedi has been filled with far more actual conversation than most of my time on Reddit was.

I decided to come home during summer break during my senior year of college. I wasn’t going to but I decided I should do something besides sitting around playing video games. I got in the car, drove for 4 hours, and got a call from my best friend that he was having some people over that night. I almost didn’t go because I was tired from the drive. I decided to go. I knew everyone there, including a girl I had been friends with for years but hadn’t seen in awhile. We were all hanging out, me and this girl ended up hooking up that night. We’ve been together over 12 years, married for 6. If I had decided to stay at my apartment and play Skyrim instead of driving home, we very likely wouldn’t be together. I think about it more than I should lol.

I do the crunch wrap with beans instead of meat and I’m not a vegetarian by any stretch, is just so much better that way IMO. The spicy potato taco is also one of my favorites.

I can make my chat bubbles be whatever color I want. My brother-in-law sometimes gives me lighthearted shit for being the green bubble or whatever in the chat but like, hey man you’re the one who put yourself in a walled garden, I don’t see it on my end.
