I saw my retired grandparents buy property in the country and spend all day working on their garden and continuously making improvements to their home and doing other projects that interested them. In the summer they traveled the country and camped. If you spend your retirement wasting away in front of the TV that’s on you for not finding some hobbies.

That probably wouldn’t have been too far off.

They banned me for giving my opinion on how child molesters should be punished and then permabanned me for doing it again when I got back. Funny thing is people say the exact same kind of shit about all kinds of other people and those comments are fine… weird how they only care to protect people who molest children.

I used to work at a auto shop and one time a lady came in wanting an estimate to replace the majority of the exhaust on her car. We didn’t do exhaust work so the only way for me to price that out for her was to go based off the purchase of all the components from the parts shop which would have been way more expensive than a shop that actually does exhaust work. I told her as such and then she insisted that I price it out anyway which took forever because I had to find a diagram of her cars exhaust and cross reference all the parts with the parts shop website and then the entire time she’s bitching at me about how long this is taking. I continued to explain that going to an exhaust shop would be cheaper and she continued to insist. When I handed her the estimate she glanced at it, laughed in my face, and stormed out. That shit happened almost 2 decades ago and it still pops into my head frequently.

Biden could do some official acts. But he won’t.

It’s definitely a good thing. If someone wants to be on the popular platform go back to Reddit or Twitter. That’s what most people want. The Fediverse is the minority that wants something different.

Hey! The US has been genociding people way longer than that. Give them some credit.

My experience with leftovers growing up was having to eating my mom’s terrible cooking again when it wasn’t even good fresh. As an adult I love them because I like my own cooking and it means I get to skip a few nights a week.

Im only moderately worried. My experience with it has been shit and that’s been the consensus among my peers. It can be useful bit it requires a lot of hand holding and verification to get anything of quality from it. The bigger concern for me is all the people using it without doing the hand holding and just throwing whatever garbage it churns out into production.

Kind of hard when the popular kids decide to single you out and you become a pariah. There were a couple of groups I was on the periphery of but nobody ever backed me up when I was getting fucked with. I had 4 dudes I would consider to be friends but we didn’t really have common interests and lost 2 of them to a car accident halfway through. Fuck high school.

TIL. I remember my history book one year in grade school mentioning that show and the hysteria it caused.

Laying down and watching an old black and white movie puts me out quick. I’ve been watching the old Universal monster movies this month and it has been a struggle lol. Also started taking melatonin and that helps me sleep too. If I can’t sleep due to stress/anxiety I imagine I’m dying and that seems to work.

Seems like the way to deal with this would be for dentist #2 to report the issue to a licensing agency of some sort and they evaluate the records from both to determine the correct recommendations and if #1 is found to be recommending unnecessary work they get the shit fined out of them and have their license revoked if it’s repeated or particularly egregious.

So say they cut their family off and now have no support network. Now what?

If dividers weren’t shorter than most moderately tall dudes I wouldn’t care but I’ve caught one to many weirdos taking a peek over the wall to ever be comfortable with someone in the next urinal.

They Live. I stumbled across it on TV while exhausted at 2 am one night and it had me locked in the whole time.

Of course I want the communities I enjoy to grow but not at the expense of the platform. Too much growth and it’ll turn into another reddit situation with a bunch of unoriginal dipshits reposting meme responses to everything over and over. I’d rather things stay as they are then turn into that. At least now you can have interesting discussions with people when you do actually get a response.
