I’ll add Geocaching to this list. Walk around, find hidden caches and solve puzzles.

It’s not focused on the walking places but instead on the finding of caches. I personally need to get out and do some that involve going on hikes!

Hey thanks, this is an idea that I hadn’t thought much about and I’ll have to consider it. I also need consider storage and how to get to a range without a car but those things are workable.

As for my mental health, I’m doing well and feel in a good place all around. I got married a year and a half ago and have a stable life. I’m doing good. This will have to be a process if I’m going to buy a rifle but your arguments have opened me to the idea.

I wish I could after on the guns things but I should not own a gun! I have a history of depression and I super don’t want to have easy access.

That said, put a gun in my hands and I’ll do my part to end fascism. I’m even a fairly decent shot for having only fired a gun 3 different times. Just please take the thing away from me when I rotate out.

Better yet, get me an fpv headset.

When I joined the militia I had promised myself to kill one Fascist – after all, if each of us killed one they would soon be extinct… -George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia

You would think that but you underestimate how much the system likes to punish those who labor for it.

Strawberry

Or alternatively: Breakfast.

I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive… Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!

Windows 10. I’ve since moved on to 11 but haven’t tried it since then.

I am also interested in the Lemmy opinion of windscribe. My wife really likes them but their app used to brick my computer requiring a hard reset so I don’t use them.

I think the part that always pissed me off more is that it doesn’t really matter where it came from! No one is really trying to let out a virus to ravage the planet… Unless they’re a bond villain.

We need to figure out where it came from because it’s important to prevent it happening in the future but politicizing it was always pretty fixing stupid.

What is more important is we have a new virus that is brutal and we need to stop or show its spread. My parents were on the Fox News bandwagon and would always tell me that I believe they’re crazy for thinking it came from China. I tried so many times to explain to them, it doesn’t matter where it came from, it’s out, in the global population, and we need to try to mitigate and prevent damage.

Honestly I love my tablet for reading manga. I know that as a kid I would have found a way to use it for other things but I think I would consider it for my kid for reading manga and comics. Maybe some type of e ink device…

They threaten to do this every time… And so like whatever, there are other news aggregators.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

Wait… You what now?

That article gets cut off. I could remove it on my computer but I figured the archive would work.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong though. Whenever I scroll down the page gets reloaded.

Edit: I kept going back and eventually found a snapshot that worked https://web.archive.org/web/20190212082650/https://medium.com/s/story/paw-patrol-is-a-republican-dystopia-f178161fce54

Holy shit TV Guide! I forgot about those! They’d just show up in the mail every week, I have no idea who was sending them or why but inevitably they’d be in the mailbox!

The first time I went to a friend’s house and they had a guide on the TV my mind was blown!

Oh and Tivo too! I learned about Tivo from a friend and had never even heard of DVR before that! The idea that you could just record TV at will was mind-blowing! I was like, “yeah but where do you put the cassette?”

You know I don’t work with fractions of an inch on a daily basis… Or even monthly. But inevitably a couple times a year it’s relevant. Every single time I have to take 3/4 multiply it by 2 and get 6/8, then I have to subtract 1/8 to get to 5/8. Repeat ad nauseum to get to whatever time fraction is needed.

It’s frustrating and slow and makes me feel dumb.

That said last time I did it, I measured a 1/8th difference between cabinets we ordered from IKEA and the space they went in and I’ll tell you what, I felt like a genius when it all just fit, perfectly.

It seems as though you underestimate the appeal of billions of dollars. It’s not just the ability to never have to work again. Or power, prestige or any other nonsense. Or even just having tons of money. It’s not greed that makes it appealing.

It’s the security. The safety if knowing you’ll never have to worry about food or housing. That your parents and family will be well taken care of. Your children will be able to have it all, that you’ve set them up for success and they won’t have to struggle. It’s knowing that your best friend who was diagnosed with cancer will have the best care available, wherever that may be in the world, and won’t have to worry about food or housing or anything else while getting better.

You’re either too young to understand or are lacking in empathy.

I’m not saying being a billionaire isn’t inherently immoral. But the reason people take payouts like that are not solely down to greed.

A lot of people are saying they did this job as a teenager, I did it mid 20’s and yes, I liked the job. I never had to deal with customers, I just pushed carts. But people leaving carts in the middle of nowhere were a babe on my existence.

I don’t know how many carts there were in or store but on a normal day and especially a busy day they would be constantly used. Our corrals would all overflow simultaneously if not emptied. And then you have some dipshit who decides they can’t be asked to walk a little further. I had to have a route in order to collect carts and keep our corrals under control. If I had to walk an extra 10 minutes out of my way to get a cart it would set me back 20+ minutes of work, without fail. And if I didn’t collect it then carts would start piling up, without fail. Then you’d get the mixed cart bullshit and you can only push so many mixed carts.

Putting your cart makes the job actually reasonable. You can plan and coordinate and organize yourself to know where to go when to pick up carts. It allows you to predict where carts will end up and efficiently walk so you’re not destroying your body. When people screw with that rhythm the whole thing goes to pot.

I mean that’s cool but also not really a rebuttal to the user above. Now the person above is not correct. Kids absolutely know when they’re getting the short end of a deal or at least when it comes to stuff they care about. And Congress didn’t give a flying fuck about the good of the children or we’d have a food guarantee for all children and single prayer health care already.
