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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I definitely agree with the idea but I have experienced the opposite. We adopted our dog the day after Christmas last year and were looking at a few different adoption agencies for about 6 weeks leading up to adopting our puppy last year. We adopted through ASAP, we’re looking at SPCA (where we adopted our cats 5 years ago), and also looked at 2 local shelters who all had no restrictions around the holidays.

All in all I’m so happy with the experience but I’ve heard of moratoriums around holidays but outside of rabbits at easter, have never actually seen the idea implemented.

Doggy and zoophilia

My yard looks nicer. My dog gets 2-3 walks a day instead of 1-2. Also porn.

So good

Spez stabbed baconreader in broad daylight so now I get my dopamine fix through Liftoff.

On the bright side, with smaller communities I have cut my time on lemmy in half from what it was on reddit to the point my wife has even brought up how less frequently I am staring at my phone.

Why am I on lemmy right now? Because it’s Friday so I am doing as little work as possible. I think I’ll go make some eggs.

Cincinnati. 66 at night 70 during the day during the summer, sometimes 72.

Winter 70-72 all the time.

Same thing that happens with most drugs. It’ll still get in, prices will skyrocket, and it’ll be laced with fentanyl so instead of enjoying a nice cup of coffee, you’ll die because the government tried to tell you what you can do to your own body again.

My wife and I love to visit new places. We will generally prepare by asking friends who have visited what they liked and disliked, I would check the areas affiliated subreddit to get guidance from the locals, and do a little online searching to get a general feel for the city.

Once there don’t be afraid to talk to people. Talk to a can driver, spark up a conversation at a cafe. Locals are almost always willing to share their favorite places with you since you’re a visitor to their city and they want to shed it in the best light.
