A slack line? Maybe over budget

Stuff to build skate features, or wax for waxing curbs

If he lives by snow, a park rake is super cool for building snow features. It like makes a perfect jump for you.

G-form (knee)pads maybe lame, but by far the most comfortable protection I’ve ever worn.

A knife, 10 year old me would spend hours widdling sticks, trying to make wooden swords and stuff

3d printed nerf guns are amazing now. If you have access

Me neither!

I think some people are misunderstanding what this is trying to say. It’s not saying that you should always take the easy route with your hobbies. It is not saying that you shouldn’t learn the “right” way to do your hobby.

It’s saying that it’s just a fucking hobby. It’s purpose is to be enjoyed not mastered. Do it the hard way when you’re feeling it. But don’t force yourself to struggle because someone on the Internet said that this way is how you learn the most efficiently or get the best results.

Uff, we’ll have to eat Florida avocados, I do not think they taste as good as hass avocados.

Does stability reflect it’s likelihood to crash, or it’s frequency of updates in this analogy.

Also is the pickup line “I got a rolling release personally” good?

I’m not sure it’s a safe bet. Only if the tariffs last longer than 4 years. Building new factories takes a couple years, then you need to break even all within 4 years? Just seems risky to me

Are there any ways we can fight this? In my head “guerilla counter psyops” sounds really cool…

But like is the move to ignore? Point out what they’re doing? Verbal judo? Report and move on?

Have a good time coming up with insulting names

I would get creative with it, just because she’s horrible doesn’t mean you don’t get to have a good time. “The purveyor of lies”, “fount of unreason”, maybe give her a nickname that relates to one of her mistakes. If you can come up with something new every time it can become like a game, even if you’re only saying them in your head.

It’s too early in the morning for me to come up with a good RPG/ Dungeon synth joke, but

Rural Oregon is very red. There’s a behind the bastards episode on just how many racists there are in Oregon.

I think you can just be grateful to have or experience something. Like you can’t be grateful to anyone for a full moon, but you can be grateful that you saw it.

Yeah at first I was like “yeah those kids are so young” then I realized I was born in 96

Comfort can be about how you look. I have some clothes that are super comfortable, but if I wore them out in public I would be arrested because I look like a drug dealer. Find something comfy in the way that it reflects how you want to be seen

I’m not particularly active, but I still left for OSRS a long time ago

I use Plex and jellyfin, honestly, plex only stays around because of plexamp. It’s just too good. I don’t like using streaming apps like Spotify or whatever because they’re not as good

Showing off is an important part of social MMOs. If anyone can have the really cool looking thing for some cash then what’s the point of grinding? For a hardcore player, what do they have to show off their prestige?

It’s pretty important for an MMO to respect its most active players. Not to mention, what do new players have to look up to? To think, what do I have to get that? If the answer is “oh I just have to fork out some dough”. That’s kinda disappointing

I mean, looking like you know what you’re doing, looking confident doesn’t mean you have to dress plain.

Also I am sure gym bros will complement you on your body. Kind of like how as a straight man I only get compliments on my facial hair from other men. Look for validation from your friends not randos

You’re probably in a better place than most severely depressed people because you think that you can get better! Probably the best thing to do is keep a growth mindset and try to learn as much as you can about depression. Getting over depression is a journey.

Lots of other people have said running & friends, those things help me. But recently/now I am depressed and running 40 miles a week and seeing my friends regularly.

What’s a really cheap solution? Pirate some bibliotherapy books! Feeling good by David D. Burns is older, but I’m reading it right now and it seems like a really solid CBT book. I would also recommend “Adult children of emotionally immature parents”. It helped me understand why I am the way I am

The hardest part for me is noticing when my thoughts are turning situations from good or neutral into bad situations. Paying attention to your thoughts in an objective way is hard! But some sort of mindfulness practice can help.

Journaling can be useful! You can train your brain to look for good things by writing out 3 good things that happened or you did every night.

That only makes it cooler
