I’m retired now, moved on in my life, but I tried to be competitive in fighting games, before “e-sports” took off, I was a MvC2/T5/SC/CvS2 kind of guy. I ALSO trained my ass off in basketball to try and be the best of the best of the best *sir*.

“Someone always has it worse” is something you hear every now and then, people often say it to try and put you in a better place mentally. If you break a leg though, someone could tell you someone else lost theirs. Does that erase the fact that you broke your leg and it hurts like hell? Absolutely not. Are white males…

I’d argue that 62% is low-balling it.

I was worried this would be a waste of my time to read; it wasn’t. GS.

Time to check the Rule 34 sites...

Simple, investment. If you’ve gone the Apple route, you’ve invested *financially*, if you’ve gone the PC/Droid route, you’ve invested educationally and by time. No one wants to be told that they invested in the wrong thing.

The most exciting thing to me is that clock. I gasped audibly at work just now. Because of how life is right now, when I grill, I’m constantly running back inside, I don’t babysit the grill, but I like to say, throw a steak on, then upon walking inside, tell Alexa to set an alarm for 4 minutes, so I know to run back…

So far I haven’t had much luck with the pencil change for focus, my son was actually excited about the idea, but his inability to focus is so bad, that this wasn’t enough to actually change the behavior. Because of his excitement at the idea (which surprised me), I’m going to try it some more next week. The…

really? Man, too bad I just found bought a TV with Roku built in. It would be a shame if I accidentally found those channels while browsing at night, is there any term in particular I should avoid so this doesn’t happen?

Well seeing as how PAINFUL homework is for us right now, I’ll apply some of this tonight and get back to you on the success (going to try the complaining minute, and the pencil)...

It does, and your boobs are awesome.

eh. I’m not going to get too fired up, but I completely disagree with a couple principles presented here, (1) that there is some ethical amount of money you can own, and (2), how much should be donated. I do agree that it is gross that he has grown so rich, while under paying so many, and if I *personally* was in his…

My son busted his cheap @$$ book bag so I ended up giving him the bag I had purchased for my music equipment (hiking bag). Its WAY more durable, larger, has compartments for water bottles, dirty/wet clothes, grips to make holding it easier, etc. I HIGHLY recommend hiking bags, yeah they cost more, but it might *gasp*…

I personally have shut down dreams because they didn’t seem practical anymore, but then realized that that was BS. To quote CJ Fletcher (or at least that’s where I heard it) “Everything is imposssible, until someone crazy enough comes along and makes it possible”. With a renwed vigor and understanding, I’ve gotten…

It’s parallel to the 10,000 hours “guide”. Truth be told, the majority of “numbers” fed to us have little direct value as we all do things differently (as you elude to), even the age old 2k calorie diet, isn’t really “right”. IMO the idea of being more active is more important than selecting a number. The number is…

When inviting people though, do not invite Karen, and her raisin-filled potato-salad.

Damn, I hadn’t even thought of it at that magnitude, but yeah, its hyper critical at that point.

Just want to add “bags”. Taking apart a bed, keep a sandwich bag for all the screws, so you don’t lose them. Buying a new TV? Bag up the manual and all the odds and ends you aren’t currently using and tape them to the back of the TV. Putting together Ikea furniture? Bag up the spare parts and that damn hex head driver,…

I agree with 95% of everything, but that last part scratches me the wrong way. Yes there are dreams from a younger version of you that you may grow past, but you have to make sure that (1) you outgrowing it has nothing to do with external influences, and (2) you don’t have to abandon them either, sometimes they just…

This has been out mantra - naturally - for a few years now. Forget the kids, WE are exhausted. The most complex Friday gets for us is possibly going out to eat (Meal prep on Sunday for Monday - Thur, leaving Friday open for interpretation). Friday is flat out “rest”. If a movie is turned on - fine, but nothing is…
