A zip file full of text files containing a ton of knowledge necessary to complete the journey, and a bunch of books. Maybe an emulator and a few nes games.

I went one further, and now I’ve been married to his mom for 20 years. She doesn’t know it’s because the kid and I are still role-playing.

That happened to me once like 20 years ago. A kid I ran into on borderlands wanted me to pretend I was his dad. I was not old enough to do so.

Same. Mostly just ADHD, but rotating helps a lot, with some that I force myself to do, like exercising (but rotate programs too). Sometimes I even come back to old ones!

My interactions with them point to them not believing those things are real at all, or are not planets, etc.

DON’T YOU TOUCH MY TRUCK BOAT TRUCK!

Ok, but independents who don’t vote for either are not helping either.

Not voting for Trump helps Biden win then.

Superior?

Yeah that part is annoying. I have to make myself not read every single comment. I have a browser extension that helps organize that a bit.

The Something Awful Forums still exist, and I go there a lot more than I go here or Reddit these days.

I generally carry a portable bidet when I travel for this reason. But yes, I’m traveling in Japan right now and it’s great. Also the fact that the bathrooms are clean.

Eating lunch or going to a movie by myself. Traveling alone and not having to really talk. I like doing those things with my wife or friends too, but not having to worry about anyone or anything else for a bit is great.

I switched to only private trackers 5 or 6 years ago and haven’t looked back.

“What that means.”

Lifting weights, scuba diving, martial arts, 3d printing, mini painting, fingerdrums, building and flying drones, planning for various trips, make presentations and present them at conferences, play videogames and TTRPG (or DM them), go on random adventures and make things.

Lol I used to work for a company that has been bought and renamed several times and now is under the WebMD umbrella. They were trying that “remote work is bad” be a decade ago, and it’s funny that now they are part of a larger company that still isn’t with the times.

I drive a 2018 Mercedes GLA, and that thing is a tank compared to other vehicles I’ve owned. Last year I was involved in an accident with a semi, a convertable SLK, and an older Toyota land cruiser (I think).

I was the first one hit, but was able to immediately regain control (because AWD) and only had about 5k worth of damage (wheel, front quarter panel, side view mirror, headlight, and a couple other dents).

The Toyota that hit me (to avoid the semi) lost control, hit the semi anyway, then barely the SLK, (which lost control and hit the divider), then spun around and almost hit the divider too.

Those other two cars were totaled.

Granted the SLK was also Mercedes, but convertable and not AWD. Potential skill difference from the Toyota side since it was a younger driver.

Either way, all my previous cars would have likely been totaled. Drove a 2007 Ford focus with crank windows up until I got this car a couple years ago and it would for sure have gone flying.

Maybe the main takeaway is spring for AWD before the other bells and whistles.
