I don't want to convert to the Amish. But, we are definitely reaching a point where I'd like to revert to... Idk. Late 1990-2000s, maybe early 2010 technology. And ditch all this AI, surveillance bs of the late 2010-2020s!!!

The not spending money part is soo key. We should not have to spend money every time we leave our homes.

This is absolutely true. There are often calls for 'anyone want to mod' on even smaller subs... and you know, it sounds fun to a lot of folks at first. But if you've ever actualy been a mod, even of a smaller community online? It loses its appeal very quickly.

And filming it. And distributing it.

The very concept of unsupervised kids is so anathema to society today. Kids need spaces to just be kids.

Summer camp - the overnight, week or two long kind, is a great middle ground. Yes, kids are "supervised". But... Mostly, just by bigger kids. Who are there, mostly to have fun too. Run, play, swim, learn about themselves and other people. My boys both spent every summer for 12+ years at camp. And they always grew, so, so much while they were there.

I need this shirt.

This is a great TIL. I had no idea red bull was Thai!

Yup. It's like web forums circa 98-02 give or take a year or three... It's very nostalgic 😘

I was a reddit user for 15+ years... I got perma banned a bit ago. Part of me misses it. But... Whatever.

That's not a squirrel. That's a chipmunk.

You should still touch grass. It feels good 😊

My husband started out with the "he should look like me.." and then quickly came around after a bit of reading. The Adam Ruins Everything on circumcision is great!

Theoretically? Sure. Realistically though? Money is finite for most of us. And some stuff is just out of budget.

I just reserved one. It will likely become a Xmas or birthday present.

I mean... Almost never. It's possible it is actually your fault... Just, very, very unlikely :D

I really need to go back to using osm...

I will never forget volunteering with a magat just after the election and her being like 'just wait! Everything is going to get cheaper in a month or two!' A huge part of me would love to chat with her now. How you like $4-5 gas?

Anyone, could throw up a website and get hits, and feel like the world gave a damn. Remember when your site visit counter was THE coolest part of your little site??

Sadly, same. Everything just keeps going up. Except our income.

I'm a woman. Over the last 5-10 years I went from ~160-180 to 234 this Jan.The difference in treatment has been staggering. Now down to around 219. Hoping I can continue to lose. Not on a glp-1, though I've definitely considered it.
