Ohhhhh man. My friend’s father used to drive a Tempo to work. That thing was a steaming POS.

This is an excellent idea.

If you really want to help and they want you to be on your own (and probably are enjoying their solitude) this is a neat way to do so. They don’t want help now but they may in the future.

Though, as a parent myself, I’m guessing they’d want you to save for yourself and realize they can take care of themselves. Good parents want what’s best for their children without thinking of themselves, it’s a sacrificial relationship.

However, what they do want is a continuing relationship. Call or meet with them regularly. Take pictures of you and your adventures. If you decide to start a family send them plenty of pictures of the grandkids and have dinner with them regularly if you’re close by.

Stick Figure - World on Fire. Beautiful ear worm.

Hard disagree. It is. It’s the root of most of humanities problems. I don’t know how you could think otherwise.

Israel wants Gaza so they’ve finally found a way to take it. That’s selfishness at the most root. Monopoly Capitalism is a higher level issue.

Right, humans are selfish. That’s the root problem.

Appreciate the heads up. Will watch.

Roblox. If you were there in the beginning then you know how empty it was. Now, that’s mostly what my son plays to what just make the most money/things? I don’t get it myself (I’m old, lol).

Eating dinner with family daily. I was talking with some coworkers and apparently this isn’t something most people do anymore? I really enjoy this time with them and we’ve always had great conversations while I was growing up and now with my own family.

This is nice.

I can relate to this. I’m in my 40s now with quite a bit of hindsight.

When I was in my 20s I went to school in a creative field but with a science degree. I ended up getting through the program and earning my BS. However, I ultimately found that the field I was going into treated people poorly so I decided not to go forward with a career in it. Instead, I kept working in retail, where I had to get through school, and eventually worked my way up into management.

I now run a branch in a completely different field and am doing very well, have learned a ton, and have helped many people. It’s fulfilling and been good to me and my family. When I was deciding where life would take me, this wasn’t planned, but it’s probably 100x better than where I would be if I had chosen to go forward with my original plan.

Oh that’s fucking rich.

They’ve chipped their toner but the off brand stuff that has chips works perfectly fine.

Source: bought 2 different Brother B&W laser models last year and 1 Brother color laser this year for the office. The cloners have already fixed this problem. Still works better than all of the other brands by a wide margin. Those 3 print every damn time from any device we have, mobile and desktop flavor of choice.

Apparently no one remembers Biz Markie.

Wife makes kick ass Naan bread pizza.

If we order it’s usually Parry’s, Mici, or Jets.

If we want cheap it’s Little Caesar’s as we all like it better than Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, or Dominos.

I learned ProTools and Digital Performer on OS9. It crashed so often we saved very often. God I hated those machines. OS X completely changed the game and absolutely destroyed Windows in stability. I moved from Windows when 10.4 came out and search was amazing. Haven’t liked Windows since. Linux, you’re cool. Anything *nix is really where it’s at.

This is my wife. I have a network adblocker and had to whitelist google ads because she wanted to see the pictures of products when searching even though they’re google ads and she knows it. Doesn’t matter, she actually likes them. Gahhhhhhh.

That is super cool.

The window units are much more efficient than the portables with hoses. A lot less loss.

They make window heat pump units now. Might work as a cheap mini split alt.

Probably VVVVVV. Comes in at 68MB on iOS.

Absolutely excellent infinite life platformer. Yeah, it’s a challenge but totally worth it. If you like Celeste, VVVVVV did it without all the story elements long before. Oh and the retro soundtrack is aces.

Super Hexagon is also great. Very lightweight at 31MB.
