Laughing as I picture spez and company trying to figure out what percentage of reddit is porn

There’s plenty we can do about it. For instance, my wife and I just put an offer on a house in Europe and will be leaving ASAP.

Yep. I’m almost 50 and have tried my best to help those around me see a better way. I’ve always voted. I did my part, but half the country still wants this shit. So, my wife and I are retiring early, peacing out, and letting ya’ll figure it out for yourselves. Good luck!

When I ended up at Reddit 16 years ago after Digg, I don’t recall it being a huge community immediately. I think it helped that there weren’t subreddits yet. So, probably seemed like more people. I think it took a couple of years for the transition to hit critical mass.

Well, they really seem to be in a hurry to bring on the events in Revelations. Sadly, since most of them have never read it, I think most would be surprised to find that this now puts them squarely on the side they think they are against!

I would call it 1.5 times. In the 90s, I worked for a company that gave out $50 gift cards to a local grocery store for the holidays. I was young and still lived with my parents, so I used it to buy $50 worth of beer and fish (orange roughy). Went over to my friend’s house and we drank copious amounts of beer and consumed way too much beer battered roughy. Was standing outside the next morning having a smoke and trusted a fart. That was the last time I trusted a fart with a hangover.

Next time was about 25 years later, stomach gurgling during the last 20 minutes of a 2 hour commute, and well past the last public restroom. Tried to make it home, farting as I could to release whatever pressure I could. About 5 minutes from home, last fart released about 2 tablespoons of poop into my underpants. I phoned my wife to have the door open and make sure she wasn’t in the nearest bathroom. lol.

Also, it’s been days since you picked up a new hobby for your hobby collecting hobby.

Irony, perhaps. Or, for anyone that’s actually read the book, foreshadowing might be a better word

That the solutions that benefit all beings are always the best. Even if they require more effort. Also, that there are never just two solutions to any problem. The human experience is not binary, there are infinitely many solutions to all problems.

One has also had studies that shows it causes the user to have more empathy while under its influence. The other is more common in domestic violence.

Several years ago my wife grew over a dozen styles of heirloom tomatoes. There were several that I think would have worked in a fruit salad, particularly with watermelon and some basil.

I was thinking anti-christ. But, i wouldn’t rule that one out either lol

Yeah, chilled, and with some aged balsamic. I also enjoyed them with the balsamic, fresh basil (and some mint), some olive oil, chopped green onions, and cucumbers for another good salad.

The universe appreciates your excitement. My issue ultimately ended up being comfortable to give myself permission to spend time on the things that excited me.

Equal parts addiction, fun, and frustration!

haha…well, best to wait until the garden is producing!

Yes, good point. I try not to get too hung up on words. But, when speaking to others, you point out a more productive way to word it. Thanks!

Too bad my beer tastes weren’t as refined yet. Maybe then I wouldn’t have shit my pants! Stupid Miller Genuine Draft. lol

Precisely. Excellent points!

It has to be a lot of that. probably a lot of accounts that people use for stalking. also, i know quite a few old people that have at least 5-10 accounts due to the amount of times that they have forgotten their password/been hacked.

I know I’m only one person, but I personally know many people around the world that never use it. There’s no way that 40% of the world has an account on Facebook, let alone logs in every month. I deleted my own account last month.

I still care about everyone in the country. So, I’ll definitely still continue voting.

Thanks! Hope to be there by the end of the year if everything works out! Heading home after spending a week looking at houses.

Yep! Glad my state at least finally voted to make me legal lol. I’ll take these homegrown, homemade Aldi fruit loop bars over the domestic violence sauce

We’ve checked out a lot of countries, but we have settled on Spain.

I will certainly continue voting!

Lol

Ok, thanks Zuck

Yeah, tell that to my Aunt Martha and her new account each week. Also, I think you might be overestimating the capabilities of the left side of the intelligence bell curve.

It is an option that requires more work and sacrifice than most people are willing to endure. We prioritized saving over consumerism, fixing things over buying new, not having kids, etc. I grew up poor, had no help from my parents (or anyone), and was able to make it. However, a lot has changed since I started to make it even more difficult for people.
