Do you think I have a lot of free time?

Yes? Yes. I'm going with yes.

Also, your spelling and grammar are fine. For a non-native, you're practically fluent.

I only have to say two words to dispel this magic: Baby Shark.

I am done with Dave and Busters. What a shitshow. Some of the machines are always broken, the food is mediocre at best, and I just want to play fun games, not win tickets for shitty prizes. Where are all the real arcade machines?!

Watch some primitive/bushcraft survival videos on YouTube. There's a lot of good tips and tricks, especially for when you aren't exactly prepared for camping (emergency situations) and need shelter, fire, food, water, etc.

Favorite channels:

• Bertram - Craft and Wilderness (off-trail camping videos)
• Coalcracker Bushcraft (lots of good info)
• Donnie Dust's Paleo Tracks (primitive tools)
• Primitive Technology (fire by friction, primitive crafting)
• Survivorman - Les Stroud (survival, cooking, history, etc)
• Woodsbound Outdoors (good info and demo)

I have a bug net that came with mine, so no bugs either. Now I just need to find two trees...

This isn't even my final form.

Those are probably carpenter bees, not bumblebees. They look very similar. Carpenter bees are motherfuckers that drill 1/2" holes into deck posts and other wooden surfaces. Might want to get some traps.

I'd rather live under nuclear fallout drinking cans of warm Dr. Pepper than to play any more of Rockstar's hot garbage.

I don't pirate things I boycott. Professionals have standards.

Chrono Trigger - Main Theme

Castlevania II - Simon's Quest - Town at Daytime

Mega Man 2 - Bubble Man Stage

Super Mario Bros 2 - Game End

River City Ransom - Menu/Shop Theme

It's too peopley out there.

To be honest, it wouldn't matter. I'd be too busy enjoying my new primitive survival adventure and quoting lines from the Gold Top commercial. It is the big game.

If I could go back about 20 years?

Marvel's Legion, aka David Haller, son of Professor Charles Xavier. Omega-level mutant. Psychic powers that go beyond time and space, astral projection, teleportation, reality warping, mind controlling, pyrokinesis, et cetera. If you could keep your head in check (did I mention it also comes with disassociative identity disorder?), taking down Thanos with a completed Infinity Gauntlet would be a mere trifle.

None taken. I'm advocating for introspection, as in, why did they come here and ask the question in the first place? Why not just seek out a like-minded community? So, how can one possibly get directions from another when they don't know where they want to go? At that point, any direction is valid.

From a metaphysical point of view, you and the rest of existence are reflections of each other, thus, the rest of the existence is not separate from you and is a part of yourself, for without it, you would not be who you are now, nor would it be what it is without you.

Knowing this, we can look at Plato's allegory of the cave. Staying inside restricts you to a limited view of yourself, and an online one is even more limiting because it reflects a distorted truth from others suffering the same fate. How can you possibly know who you are from such a limited scope?

Temet nosce. It means "know thyself". You should do everything in your power, to the very best of your ability, to see this through. Otherwise, you're still in the cave.

When you find yourself, it won't be in your house. That's hiding from yourself.

I'll reply with this: five minutes of masturbation can prevent a lifetime of pain and suffering.
