  • My dad did it back when he was a hippy.
    He still talks very fondly of the time he spent out in the Arizona desert all those decades ago.

    A piece of me would like to drop out of society and live in solitude.
    While I lean towards being a loner, I realized that I am probably mostly a hybrid.
    I enjoy some human interaction, but also love being alone to do whatever the fuck I want.
    To me a commune would be too intimate and I think would end up being like a small town type of scenario which doesn’t appeal to me.



  • Yeah I really called it wrong on my initial comment.
    I took a look at my pwned history and it looks like we share a lot of sites.
    Quite concerning and now I am at least using a password manager.
    I am still on LastPass but am considering others.
    It simply “works” in my case though, and I’m not sure how easy it would be to change to a new one so with them I stay.
    It sucks that they made it into a “pay to play” if you want full cross platform access, but I use my gaming PC for so few sites that it isn’t a huge deal to just lock my LasPass to iOS.




  • Can you please go into the specifics of why you don’t let your kids play Roblox?

    I had been avoiding it until a well intentioned relative got my son a Roblox gift card.
    It was immediately made clear that I was against the game which created an awkward situation for my relative.
    I decided to soften my stance, and use it as a teaching moment.
    I explained how the game works and how my son was to use his Robux.
    He was to play the game(s) for a certain length of time and then make an informed decision about where to spend his money at.
    Of course he spent it on some stupid powerup on a game that he ended up stopping playing some days later.
    We used it as a teaching moment for both of my kids and what a waste of money the game is.
    I also explained to them how P2W games are predatory in nature, and that I would never personally allow them to pay a single cent into Roblox or any other game.
    My son is constantly proud of how he is F2P and always beating all of the P2W noobs.



  • With the current wave very quickly picking up steam, chances are we will be through the worst of it by the time vaccines are available / taken by those still willing to go through with it.

    I think I am 4-5 shots deep at this point, and have had a natural infection once. It was horrible where I fully lose my taste for a number of weeks.
    Then as taste / smell began to return some things were “wrong.”
    It took months for coffee to return to normal.
    If I had to live like that… well, let’s say those months had very unwelcome new dark thoughts that took me by surprise.
