im in my 40s and feel the same as you. things like fast food dont hold the same appeal, just nostalgia wishing for the ‘old taste’

as a ~40 year old Canadian looking from the outside at the US election

this one was crazy for sure but the last couple have been kinda out there to say the least. before the internet we Canadians always knew when it coming, but it was never covered in a 24h news cycle like now. other than daily newspaper (that was a physical unit of paper that was like social media, where we could not really choose who to follow other than politically left or right and only updated every 24h) we’d get news at 6-7pm and 11pm. then the noon news showed up. while there have always been issues between right and left, there had never been violence on the scale we see now. like Reagan getting shot, happened just after i was born, so not like it was all sunshine and rainbows but nothing like the scale that’s seen now.

this could be from the mass news reporting and social media, or people have just gone off the rails. I’m guessing option 2.

If these asshats were vacuuming stuff up instead of just blowing over to the next yard, I’d be a little less annoyed.

when i was not so poor and still owned a lawn care business, i actually had a lawn and leaf vacuum attached to trailers. they work great, blow the leaves into a pile, and suck them up. had smaller versions that were the width of a lawn mower-ish for where it was not feasible to blow. the smaller ones didnt work that well with leaves but great in the spring after spring clean up.

i wonder if this is the same person you were worried was more popular than you at work a few months ago.

after reading some of your post history, you seem like a bitter person who will never be happy. that tells me there is so much more going on here than what you have let us believe is going on.

i still have a brass one from the 80s that works like a charm, try brass ones maybe

i have a great program that will hide all of your money, send me a DM

as someone who needs coke bottles to see properly, i understand how you feel

i would also love to smoke some of the weed you had before posting this

im a bit of a bird nerd here, and while they do put pack a lot in, its not really fat as you and i would think of it. 90% of what you see is just floof to keep warm.

my b&g macaw will put on a little weight in fall even tho hes a tropical chicken. altho admitly that could just be me feeding him differently/different times, cause of the lack of light through the winter.

were you banned? not able to be within 500ft of a school?

I have very mixed feelings about the bike tbh. Its the fastest bike ive ever owned bar none. It handles great at high speed, as it should since it was made for it. However after an hour or two, im super sore having to hold my head up like that while laying on the tank. I’m more built to lean back and cruse but got this bike for a screaming deal that i couldnt refuse. But damn is it fun, never had a bike that wants to lift the front wheel going into 3rd gear at 100+kph before.

wait, so i am you, and you are me. would that make us one big happy family?

hutterites/mennonites already exist

im sure there are more, but thats all that comes to mind right now

overall - only a few years constantly - just a few months on mint now. I find I get frustrated at some things that I believe should be easy, but seem super convoluted. I’m sure its the years of windows BS beat into me thats making me show my bias, but im learning. I want it on my main PC but figured I would learn on a junker hp dual core pc first. I’m shocked at the amount of things I can now do on it where as with windows, it was useless. Only thing stopping me from putting it on my main pc is gaming. Once I learn more and figure out a good destro for gaming, i plan to switch everything over.

but wouldnt lower numbers mean no one needed to fix & revamp a working OS?

higher numbers mean more fuckups than needed to be fixed until it was so broken there was no longer a way to code you way out, had to start right from the start!
