Wow everything looks so well maintained! Guess that’s the difference when you look at taxes as doing your part for the good of everyone vs the “gubment stealin ur hard earnd cash” sentiment we have around here. Also it looks like things are just plain closer together too.

There are some nicer places a little bit southeast of where I live but they’re even further apart because the houses are bigger, the lots they are on are bigger and that makes the neighborhood larger which makes getting anywhere pretty much require a car. Not like I could afford living over there anyway haha

I wish we could ride bikes but here in the US there is absolutely no infrastructure for it. The closest Domino’s to me is 3 miles away. Riding a bike there would be extremely scary.

Even if you take Google’s specified bike route through the neighborhoods you still have to go out onto the main roads at some point. First main road speed limit is 30mph where people routinely go 40-45. Second main road is 35mph where people also go 40-45. And the final stretch of “stroad” speed limit is 45mph where people go 55-60mph.

Here you can use Google streetview and follow the route as if you were biking and see it yourself. https://maps.app.goo.gl/v4MnfPeZ9LuFzV8y6?g_st=ac (Don’t worry, I’m not doxxing myself)

Oh! That actually makes a ton of sense lol

Why are there so many that lay flat with prongs up???

There is! https://suno.com/song/78c89cb7-f4b1-4f41-a062-10a12aed9dd0

Came out pretty good I think https://suno.com/song/78c89cb7-f4b1-4f41-a062-10a12aed9dd0

I know you’re probably joking but he is me and my 2 girlfriends! https://imgur.com/a/0DEx55H

That is definitely a benefit! It is very difficult sometimes, though.

Right I’m actually kinda addicted so I like make time for my “dailies”. Usually like an hour a day -ish. Don’t think I’ve missed a day for around 250 days now. I know I’d probably enjoy it more if I played story games or something but it is nice to just turn off my brain for an hour. Kinda feels like how my parents would brain-off watch TV for hours.

Also I have an Google sheet with checkmarks to make sure I do everything every day so I spend the least amount of time on each game rather than thinking.

I play League of Legends and a couple gacha games all F2P. Genshin, Snowbreak, and Aether Gazer. Wuthering Waves just came out so time will tell if it stays in my rotation or not.

I think this may be the origin? https://www.tiktok.com/@screenshothq/video/7356208240008498465

Although this person claims to be the one who started it: https://www.tiktok.com/@callmebkbk/video/7363362723855371566

Not sure about the article or the tweets but I thought they came later than the tiktoks

I’m still using one with a jack (Asus ROG 5)

I’ve been playing through the Halo series recently as I missed the craze growing up because I had a PlayStation and I’m not really getting it. I’m guessing it’s just something you had to be there for? My first game was Super Mario World on the SNES and I loved COD4 when it dropped but trying to play Halo now is just not doing it for me I guess.

I’m poly and just celebrated my 1 year Trio-versary today! Haven’t seen any poly memes on here yet so it’s funny it comes up today

The Fly

Starfire (Teen titans), Bloom? (Winx), Sam? (Totally Spies).

Gwen (Ben 10), no idea (Gargoyles?), Kim possible.

Daphne (Scooby Doo), Frankie (Foster’s Home), Elastigirl (mom from Incredibles).

I voted in the (ugh) Republican primary in Alabama!

Yeah I know but it’s pretty annoying and will probably have the effect of me trying to decide if restarting is really worth playing league. Adding friction to play a game is usually not a good thing. All to fix “cheaters” which I haven’t seen many in my years of playing since season 2 while I literally had a smurf in my game yesterday so…

I just wish it wasn’t always on. Like start it with the game and end it with the game like every other anti-cheat.

This is dumb but only because we don’t worry about energy use any other time. Tons of places in my city keep all their lights on 24/7 unnecessarily, we all are sitting on a “useless” social media, video games and movies and music are all energy uses. I don’t want the government to start limiting energy use on things it deems unimportant. Who gets to decide what counts? Just implement a carbon tax and energy use will go down if people don’t want to pay. We don’t need to police everyone’s usage, we just need the cost to actually reflect the externalities.
