Yeah, I used to be obsessed with it. Had my husband watch it with me because I thought it was so crazy good.

I couldn't bring myself to watch Season 3 because it started to be too real world. It just makes me so fucking angry now.

Also reporting in from USA, Texas. Hopefully moving somewhere else relatively soon though!

Got my husband a light for his desk that is in the shape of the bon fire spawn/save point in the Dark Souls series. It's in one of those clear resin blocks and it glows. Then we're going to a bougie ass resort for a 2 day stay cation where he doesn't have to worry about anything!

Got one of my besties who enjoys D&D a bottle opener called "Tool of Opening", a dunce cap for his dice when they disappoint him, and a t-shirt that says: "Lawful in the Streets; Chaotic in the Sheets". Basically a bunch of little kitschy things based on his interests.

Another bestie is (probably) getting some kinda Critical Role merchandise. Maybe a wooden sign for his room that says "Entering Dave's Dungeon Roll for Initiative". Still deciding on him.

When we sold our house, I opened investment accounts for my niece and 2 nephews, and I just throw money in there for every birthday/Christmas. As infants/toddlers they're going to be too young to appreciate it for a while, but I grew up bouncing between "lower class" and "lower middle class" so I want them to have more opportunities starting out than I did. They'll appreciate it one day. I hope.

Definitely something to keep in mind the next time he denies me the standing ovation I deserve for my performance. 💅

Ah, I see my husband has made a Lemmy account.

For real though, he is not there for the story or the rp, he's there to rage out and fight. Meanwhile I'm doing shitty voices and putting on a full Oscar worthy performance.

There are such broad dynamics between what players want, and I fucking love how flexible D&D is for that.

Cocktail with Tom Cruise, and Independence Day. I watched the fuck out of both of those movies in late Elementary/early Middle School.

I'm on your side bruh. We've owned our home since 2013. It's appreciated $100K, but we also spent $60K last year alone in windows/siding/getting the whole house replumbed because there ended up being a massive leak in the foundation.

We had planned for the windows/siding, plumbing was just a nice bonus (it was noticed by our siding contractor actually).

We've also replaced the HVAC, leveled the foundation, replaced the HWH, replaced the roof (that was a lucky insurance thing though due to a massive hail storm), replaced the gutters, and the flooring over the years since buying.

So...if we ever decide/need to sell, we'll break even.

And we didn't buy a shitty house either. It was built in 1995. It was already 18 years old when we got it, and it's nearly 30 now. People don't realize that this shit doesn't last forever.

That being said, while I will be Team Renter when we leave this duty station, I'm also in a privileged position being that I'll have a pension. I completely understand people who don't have that safety net wanting a little more stability/security.

Damn Treebeard hit that Ozempic hard.

Fortunately it's changed a ton since I've been in, and for the better. While we still have a lot of work to do, I came in when DADT was still a thing for context. I've been LOVING the direction we've been heading, and hope it keeps on trucking even when I'm done.

That being said, my last duty station was filled with a bunch of retiree civilians who ADORED Fox News. It was fucking INFURIATING to listen to that shit (and them bitching about politics) all day. It sucks too thinking of the impact that they could be having on all the younger Airmen if they're still around.

I'm now on my husband's lap as he driving us 70 mph on the highway.

That seems highly unsafe.

...if you go to Pahrump, NV where prostitution is legal, those women are independent contractors who set their own prices and can turn anyone that they don't feel comfortable with serving away. Additionally, clients must use protection AND the women have police on a panic button if anyone gets out of hand.

Compare that to the women who prostitute themselves illegally and are subjected to all the dangers of rape, abuse, and murder.

I used to think like you. While I was researching a paper I was writing (arguing against the legalization of prostitution mind you), I ended up at a completely different conclusion. My conclusion did not support my thesis and I wrote it that way.

Open your mind a bit, and see that legalization protects EVERYONE (except prudes I guess)

Ugh, my husband made me play the role of Vincent in "A Way Out" and didn't tell me anything about it beforehand.

I had such a good time playing that game all the way until the final battle where instead I just bawled my eyes out and refused to play.

Great game, but I would never play it again.

Truth, I'll go back and edit it to say "want". It does seem extra dark with the way its written.

But also, yes, there are a lot more things that society can do to make women feel safer and cared for when having children. And women who do want and choose to have a child should do so with comfort and support, because their body is literally making a human being - which is awesome, even if it's not for me.

It's just, here in the US, and red states specifically, maternity and infant mortality rates are fucking abysmal considering the level of Healthcare were supposed to be provided. It's unfortunately even worse if you're a WOC. I'm not sure what maternal care looks like in your neck of the woods, but hopefully better then here.

But I've been just...not materially inclined ever since I was a kid. I've never really felt the draw for it, and luckily found my husband whose cool with that.

Imagine being an American so privileged and revered you get paid to live in Italy in one of the most historically iconic places on Earth...

... and you throw it all away so you can hate on gay people and vaccines. Wtf.

I've been terrified of pregnancy my entire life and I'm a selfish adult who wants to do what I want.

So yes, nothing the governments do can ever make me want to have kids.

Not even you, Greg Abbott, you dickhole pathetic excuse for a "person". I fucking hate you!

Edit: One of my sentences was exceptionally dark.

Bruhhhhh whenever I finally start losing this weight I've been packing on, I look forward to a stroopwafel warmed over my black coffee every Wednesday morning.

Holy fuck people don't know what they're missing.

I understand this. At work parking is hella bad, so I routinely get to work over an hour early just for parking, and then most days I bring lunch or don't eat because I don't want to lose my parking during the day.

That being said, because I know parking sucks there, I'm extra quick when I do have to leave because I know the feeling of driving around looking for parking, becoming hopeless, and resigning to the quarter mile walk from the next closest available parking.

I've never understood the people who purposefully just sit there and stare at the person needing a parking spot in their rear view mirror waiting for them to leave. My dad does this, and I'm always just like "Aren't you taking more time away from yourself now too just to stick it to someone else?"

There is one whole Culver's in San Antonio, Texas.

That frozen custard is dope af.

Yes I was a huge Beto Stan. Had his sign in my yard. But even after his reversal, I kept seeing his "HELL YEAH IM TAKING YOUR GUNS" quoted in headlines all over the state 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Of course Abbott was drowning out all the more sensible shit Beto actually said.
