Im finally getting my diet right. Eating steamed vegetables and meat without carbs. Sodium-less oatmeal and unsweetened applesauce. Still got a long way to go.

I could legit text without looking down with the old flip phones with hard buttons to press. You know, the ones that had several letters for each number. Idk even know how I was so good at it, but I was high school age so I was very adaptable. Couldn't do that for the life of me with a modern smartphone.

The only people who dont want police around are either engaging in non taxable criminal activity or are illegal drug users. Or theyre sympathetic to criminal activity in general thru bizarre mental and ideological gymnastics. Have no idea why any politician would think its a good idea to get rid of or replace police. They actually are the ones who enforce the same laws politicians put into place.

Pretty much if theyre trying to live independently off welfare and are in section 8 housing...theyre going to be broke af. Theres next to no money leftover for any luxuries. And theyre likely struggling to pay their bills as is.

And if youre that poor, you cant afford a lot of monthly bills like cable or internet. Phone and power after rent would already be significant.

No. There are parts that are similar for sure but some of the missions/sections are completely different. And some similarities get played up too. I do get the focal key points that people point out here but MP seemed to just be paying light homage to Super.

Isn't there a lot of political resistance to clean energy in Texas from oil lobbies? Look at this take smh:

Regardless, TX uses about 25% wind power for its grid. Wind farms litter parts of the state.

One thing to like, another thing completely to actually follow through and hook up. Trust me on that. I think its a side effect of the porn age - just because it gets you excited in private via a video doesnt mean youre gonna be into it in person. Not to mention, the real world is generally gonna reject the scenarios or expectations you have in your head.

YouTube music is definitely trash, agreed.

The only advantage to Premium I see would be hassle free ad free YouTube on my Apple TV. Small price to pay to still watch ads there though.

Tons of guys are currently paying for webcam or cosplay girls who also produce amateur porn content or random misc items to sell as part of their brand. Theyre basically independent porn stars that have left the traditional mold.

Traditional porn is still being made and sold but thats become a subscription based commodity to fuel constant funds.

Its an offshoot of the old school sex trade. Sanitized and delivered in visual audio form. I wouldnt pay for it but the precedent is clear. I guess the closest thing pre porn were the peep shows like you see in Pose.

Wii U was great on the tv with pro controller. By sometime in 2013, Nintendo realized that and made all their own games compatible with it, so that you could essentially just not use the gamepad besides messing with settings or special features. But by then, Nintendo had already gone out of their way to harp on the gamepad and that stigma stuck.

There were a lot of cartoons from the 50's-60's that were trippy as hell (actually I don't know when they were made, I'm just assuming - they had, like, stick figures in them). Old Looney Tunes was good though. I also liked Popeye, which was old as all get out.

At my first apartment complex ever I would often walk to a 24 hour CVS that was less than a 1/4 mile away to get whatever random item I wanted.

Now as a bit of an older young adult, I seriously would probably never do that. I just buy everything I need as part of planned errands during the day.

You can pay for unlimited. Still bullshit but I know unlimited pay is a lot less than that fee.

I'm ok with regular hot and spicy things but I don't take much pleasure in it or seek it out most of the time. As far as abnormally spicy items like habaneros etc. - big no. That type of heat deliberately brings out pain. I get that there are certain cool side effects to that stab of heat, but in a regular meal, nah.

i'm always confused at the amount of attention given to the "royal family", though i guess to be fair we do it in america with the kardashians.

The English royal family has been going out of their way for a long while to try and overtly garner favor with the public so it's not exactly surprising.

Yeah, she was never fired by ESPN. But good try and everything.

She was "suspended" and eventually got moved around to a different position. But she was retained by ESPN.

Gina was 100% fired from Disney.

Writing creatively is most certainly at the top of the list as far as a verifiable hobby I can point to over time.

Otherwise, it basically devolves into just stuff that I either do as part of my daily routine or that I enjoy doing to kick time. I guess you could say actively finding new music to listen to and appreciate is a hobby, but it's not like I'm making music or playing an instrument so eh, I don't really think it's much of anything in of itself. And with something like working out, that's just a part of life.

Depends on what you're asking about.

If you're talking about history in the last 1000 years or so, I'd say the French have way, way more to offer. And it's not even close, at all.

If you're talking about which country I'd just rather visit as a tourist, I would still pick France, but essentially only for Paris and the culture that comes with that location. Without Paris, Italy would win by leaps and bounds, since they got Florence, Milan, Venice, Rome, Naples, etc.

I dont go over ~$45. I mostly buy Irish whiskey or rum. Sometimes bourbon or rye. Can at least say especially with rum, the diminishing returns after $45 is next to meaningless. And this price point can include rums aged over a decade.

I understand why some whiskey gets so expensive but I see most of it revolving around rarity, the aging process, or cask strength etc. Sorry but not interested.

My dad is a teetotaler and was always super judgmental towards me in my early 20s. He basically acts like a super conservative Christian despite not having been to church in years.

My mom is very well intentioned but is way too controlling. And whenever she hears about bad weather or whatever shell send me anxious texts.

Idk, they gave me a great home growing up but I think theyre both difficult figures to get along with as a young adult. They are just both lonely people and just live out life as a couple on an island really. Just difficult to want to actually be pleasant to now that Im making my own way independently. Most of my interaction with them is firm and decisive.
