As a gen X, 47, part of the latch key generation. You just did things yourself and became resilient yourself. Parents always had a set of phone numbers to call if needed. You had access to a phone book but mostly you just called your friends and got a group together to do something with. Go fishing, Ride bikes, hangout, pickup baseball sandlot style, basketball, swimming, or Nintendo when it was hot out during the summer.
And we all taught each other stuff, some of us knew how to change a bike tire, some of us knew how to tie fishing knots and what baits to use. And we all had our way of getting some stuff for free or discounted stuff from a parents business, restraunt or arcade.
We all knew who’s dads had porno mags and where they were hidden. And on occasion we could sneak some cigarettes or beer.
There would be days during the summer I’d be out of the house before my parents and they wouldn’t see me well past sunset. Shit was just easier and the world less scary I guess.
As far as driving in cities we didn’t live in, I have no idea how my parents found shit. Lincoln, grand island I can find things easily without Gps. And any rural town with 300 miles of them. Omaha I can’t find shit without Gps
I struggle with my daughter because her mother is afraid of everything and that’s been passed to her. Some things I get, and I’m glad she has a phone with her, I’d like her to take more initiative in finding things to do herself and I push her and my wife to let her be more independent
Fuck, won’t get a chance to try it until tomorrow night
This has been on my wishlist for two years, can you now play it?
This would have got me banned from reddit but the feeling is mutual towards the right. Tired of Dems not fighting back and taking the high road when they are in charge. I want them to abuse every ounce of power the republicans have if they ever get the chance again.
No longer falling for this states rights bs, we will impose the federal governments will on states like Texas. No more partisanship.
I want pure unadulterated threats and overabuse of power with zero remorse or regret. I want people who homeschool their kids to make it nearly impossible for them to do so by not meeting standards and forced to send them to public, no more indoctrination by retards. . I want churches taxed, single payer healthcare mandatory while the healthcare insurance industry burns to the ground and their stocks worthless.
I want those who refuse to do their job as government employees imprisoned for stealing taxpayer funds disguised as salary.
Owning more than 2 homes or notes is taxed 300% beyond the second. And owning more than 20% of apartments in a municipality is taxed as well. It’s time boomers lose their nest egg.
I want a new military branch that’s not under the rule of the president that will enforce the laws that the law can’t enforce and clearly violates the constitution and has power above all the other branches.
Not saying I’d get one, but I am a Xbox gamer. It’s where the majority of my purchases are. I hardly play PC because I just don’t like sitting at a desk, when I’m in a desk chair most of the day. I maybe have 3-4 games on steam, but my PC is getting old just found out even though my graphics card can do ray tracing, my processor is only 2.9ghx and recommended min is 3.2 and can’t run the new doom game.
So if you were to get one would you stay with the steam deck or wait for the Asus?
My problem is doni have time for new games, we have a switch for my daughter and we barely play it. I like Nintendo games but I have a hard enough time completing any game. I think there’s one or two games in my entire Xbox collection I’ve actually completed.
My problem is only having maybe an hour or two late evening I’ll play something for a week, try something else because I get tired of playing the same thing then forget what I was doing in the other game and want to start over.
If I was going to get a handheld I think I’d much prefer the new Asus rog that Xbox worked on
Trump is sure putting an end to this, so glad those Dearborn residents and others held their pathetic protest vote. At least I can wake up every day knowing I didn’t help put him in and allowed this to continue, 100%. Guilt free.
Imagine thinking he was going to end this, hahahaha, that takes a special kind of stupidity
Lol. Last Christmas my wife saw a ad for something dollar tree had on sale, the irony in That comment, like super cheat wrapping paper. I forget
I’ve never stepped foot in one. I went in with her, browsed it’s 4 aisles and it’s super discounted frozen aisles that I wouldn’t even feed my dog. And said we are going and never bring me to one of these stores again.
Like the empathy I felt for the poor souls that had to work let alone shop there because it’s the only thing they can find and or afford . I think I’d prefer being homeless.
LMAO I have never completed the story mode of grand theft auto 5. Last night I was doing a mission with Trevor and he says wtf is a lorry. your comment made me chuckle
Like a town population 500 or less not within a hour drive of a city.
I live in Nebraska grew up in a village of 30 people, went to school in a town of 2500. Live currently in a town of 300.
Edit - since I received some upvotes and I’m no longer at my daughter’s softball game. I wanted to add when I was in school 30 some years ago, my geography teacher told us Nebraska actually didn’t have towns due to population requirements that there wasn’t one that actually defined a town, it’s was technically city or village. Whether that’s still true or not I have no idea.
Damn I was looking forward to this, Marc Bernardin was a writer for it, in fact I believe the lead writer. Love his stuff, found him by following Kevin Smith
Not at home this weekend. Can’t remember amounts but AI might be able to help you. Crockpot 8 hours on low. Chicken broth, onion, potatoes, bacon, ham if you want it, add cream cheese 30 minutes before it’s done
Crockpot Thin slices steak chopped, beef broth, beef bouillon cube, tomato paste, corn, black beans, onions, finely chopped green and red pepper, jalapeno, packet of fajita seasoning, chili powder, and cayenne pepper to your liking this is what you will want to be careful with. . Edit and diced tomatoes
Ya wtf is wrong with soup. I make some bomb ass bacon and potato chowder. I have a fajita steak soup that will light your asshole on fire. And it’s fucking blasphemous downright unamerican to hate chili.
As a Nebraskan chili and cinnamon rolls are a staple of our winter diet.
I take more pride in preparing soup than i do grilling. Grilling an idiot can do. Soup takes skill
Ive crossed my legs since third grade, fuck me for being comfortable
I blame reddit for removing atheism from the front page a 12 years ago
I loved my zune, still have it
I was excited for borderlands. Now I’ll wait for them to make it 70% off
Once I got adjusted to the difficulty of eternal I fell in love with it, once you realize you have to constantly stay moving and adjust on the fly it just became awesome. Still feel like the music is disjointed.
Music in dark ages just sucks
Yep it’s time to start raiding republicans reps offices and right wing media
