Put em on the baaaaaaaack!!

The under screen ones suck in comparison so much ugh

Both. If there's a screw, I'm tightening it, baby.

I don't think social media works well for these kinda things, but you could pick an activity you think she and her kid would enjoy and invite her out. Something casual like a museum or park. Take the temperature there and see how things feel.

My adage with dating is to err on the side of gaining a new friend as your goal. Then the worst outcome is you get a new friend.

I'd like to think I'm informed but it doesn't change the actions I take during the day, it just makes me stressed out.

So, like, is that valuable? I'm not sure.

I'm noticing your username and I'm thinking I know why we have different experiences

Yeah, fuck it. I'm gonna razz em tho.

I'm telling the kids "take two or three!" And when the costume-less ones show up I say "hmm, no costumes? You can only take two or three then."

Yo ngl if you're not getting some wildly custom drink order, what's the point of going to star bucks?

It ain't the coffee

I uh think we maybe have had disparate Lemmy experiences but I'm curious to see the oddity you've found

Phenomenal excuse to dress up in costume and get drunk

There needs to be more costumed holidays

Best part of this, NONE of those words are used on the MoCA test. He couldn't remember a single one by the time of the interview, he made em all up.

We're relying on COPS knowing THE LAW?

Aw, beans, America, we're cooked!

Factorio!! This work week has been hell and I have a week PTO starting Monday. So time to put in some effort in an asynchronous multi-player game with a friend.

No Man's Sky is doing a Halloween event, too, so I might play around in that to get some unique cosmetics. And the Expeditions usually have a tailored experience that's always fun.

I've been playing Papers Please in the 30 min or so I have for gaming in the evenings lately. I might play more of that to see if I can get all the endings.

Unless the weather is nice. Then I'm going fishing.

No Man's Sky or Elite: Dangerous might offer you a stellar exploration experience you would enjoy over Starfield.

No RPG elements in either, though.

This just sounds stressful.

Why not make batch of mulled wine, watch a film, wake up and check Reuters on Wednesday?

The outcome won't differ. What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?

No, no I can figure it out from context, but it's cumbersome and makes your thoughts difficult to parse.

You didn't do this, like, at the start of this week, it seems. But, you're absolutely right that it's your right to make yourself more annoying to understand.

Good luck!

Edit: to the point of the post, this is probably illegal since it involves a sort of contract around voting.

Naw.... dude naw....

The whole point of language is to be understood and you're actively fighting that

Dang I really thought the title of this game was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Won't Let Indy Shoot Dogs for a hot minute I need to get some more coffee

I don't think you can stop the calls or texts, elections are a product just like everything else here and those are the ads.

They got your info and you can't take it back now

Pretty sure that's a carp but I ain't gonna yuck no yums

Fishing has been great for me. Gives ya a chance to learn what's around you by researching local waterways and what fish live in em. Then connect with them by studying their habits throughout the year and their diet. You plan your tackle box and rod set up around that and test your studies by trying to catch the dang things. And in the process of that you get some lovely, peaceful scenery and maybe a hike.

It's fairly cheap, too. The fishing gear on Ali Express is damn good for the price and while I can see arguments on spending on a quality rod and reel, I'll tell ya I prefer my $65 Pflueger President spinning reel, but I wouldn't have paid that much if I had used the $12 one I got on Ali Express first. You'll be replacing line, lures and hooks somewhat often when you start anyway so no reason to break the bank.

In the winter months, I do more model building and painting indoors. Gunpla don't have to be expensive and you can go all out on learning new techniques to erase mold lines and seamlessly join parts and that kinda technique learning keeps me engaged. Plus, when you're done, you have something you can put on display. I also give completed kits away to younger relatives when I get tired of it or I wanna try the kit again with new techniques.

As far as fitness, it's not quite a hobby, but I hop on a stationary bike and watch star trek. I fucking love Star Trek!
