I’ve been way out of pop culture loop even before I started using Lemmy.

I agree with you. I also take the investing approach to hopefully learn any new skills I can during employment that might be viable for my future career somewhere else.

Maybe. I feel like the brand I get maybe has went up .50-$1 the past couple years

This is me. I make a default breakfast a few times a week but only 2 eggs per meal, along with sautéed greens with cherry tomatoes, a small tortilla wedge, blueberries and some sausage.

Agreed. Although I struggle with vaping nicotine WAY too much and I feel like it has caused me some issues.

Still, way better than real cigs as far as my lungs are concerned - but the ease of being able to vape and constantly get a nicotine fix has been the real issue for me. Currently reading Alan Carr’s the Easy Way to get this monkey off my back once and for all.

I feel like smartphones have just made people “internet lazy” - myself included. The masses just want to get an app and let it accomplish whatever you need, without worrying about any kind of enshitification as long as it’s free.

Chess, podcasts and probably too much social media.

There’s a legal eagle vid that explains the math:

Last time I called them, it was because I got home late and my backdoor window was shattered. I had recently broke up with an unstable person, so I phoned the cops the next day just to make a report.

They called my ex, who initially denied it at first and tried to say I was a meth dealer or something. Eventually, the cop said she admitted doing it and asked if I wanted to press charges. I declined.

I reconnected with her years later in 2021 during the pandemic. It did not end well yet again, but at least no one got hurt and no property was destroyed this time around.

I dunno but now I wanna hear “Bitchin’ Camero” by The Dead Milkmen

Sorry for your troubles. It seems like having an intimate relationship with a partner should probably be lower on your list. Hope you’re able to work towards a positive direction with your life in general…

When I took acid as a teenager in the 90s, I was tripping balls and realized that entertainment or anything that occupies that mind that we enjoy, in essence makes time seemingly go by faster. Therefor, the more you entertain your brain, the quicker you approach your demise. It really groundbreaking for me at the time. I swore I might just stare at a clock for the rest of my days just to make time seemingly like it passes slower to savor my mortality lol

Do you have a favorite opening yet?

There’s a post somewhere and one of the admins replied. I believe it’s temp disabled for now while they fix some things on the back end.

Smiley Face. Great Anna Farris stoner flick!

Impressive. Sounds like you take your sunglasses game very seriously - especially if you have some on lock down for the future.

Well, I wear my sunglasses at night

Wow you’ve got a good track record compared to me lol.

Countless times, I’ve just lost them randomly or misplaced them or broken them.

I was actually a lot more of a socialite before covid, so I think that could’ve been a big factor. I think the favorite pair I had(that I just broke) would probably got at the beginning of lockdown. I guess my point is I haven’t been losing/breaking shades as much as I did when I was out doing more stuff.

The last fancy shades I had were a gift given to me. I ended up accidentally leaving them at a restaurant/gaming center. Just one of my many examples of sunglasses mishaps.

My man!
