On console, we dont have art painting. I’ve seen people do different things with colored wire, and make signs/art that way. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but it seems really cool. I’ve gotten very fast at hooking up electricity/water for a farm. I forget you can color the wire.

PvE is a completely different story. It did take me a bit to find a server I liked though. I just like building things. I always put out a “take what you need” box for passerbys, and I’ve had folks nust come into my house and drop me skinned Aks and I’ll drop em teas and shit. It’s fun.

Sorta along the same lines, but, I love how differently my husband and I play Rust. He’s on his official server doing what the game is meant for, and I’m just on my pVE building a villa/farm.
We need the farm update on console. I need pies and chickens. With the jungle update, my Lenovo Go can no longer handle Rust at all, so I’m back on console. It’s missing some of my favorite features for farm build. I want to chase a chicken for that elusive egg fresh after wipe! And the flowers! Oh…

Fantastic voice acting, awesome gameplay, beautiful world. 10/10 I love her.

Do you mean planet fitness? Fu k planet fitness. I had to pay to cancel my membership years ago. I was too broke to use it and these assholes are cunts about canceling memberships. I even worked there for a time, they have a lot of scummy tactics for both clients and staff. Fuck PF

This is an interesting thought.

Paralives I expect to gain a decent following for life sim games it should release fully early next year from my understanding. Inzoi, from what I gather, is not it, and I doubt it’s doing well.
I don’t know much about ea’s sports games.

And It won’t run.
So many of these DLCs are outright broken. For instance, the For Rent pack very well will corrupt your save file. I’ve had a glitch happen that was a for rent glitch, and I don’t even have the pack. Dine out doesnt function, my wedding stories doesn’t function. The game is still bland with $1000 of DLC.
It’s so bad, they added a toggle to turn off “unused packs” that break your game. You can now just uninstall them through the UI. Stuff you paid for, you can turn it off now, so your game runs more smoothly. Except, when It rolled out, it broke people’s games when they tried to use it, said they didn’t own the pack anymore, so you couldn’t turn a pack back on. Absurd.
Fuck The Sims 4, Fuck EA.
Rust, is an old game, they released a new version to upgrade to new systems. Free to people who already owned the first gen game. They did this well imo. EA could never.

My suffering is the same as my ancestors.
The suffering is a part of the cycle. It’s just our turn.
It is comforting once you realize. Doesn’t help truly, but it does bring comfort. Being kind to others also brings comfort.
Come on everyone, lets trauma bond
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 4 weeks ago:
I’m one of these types of people, if I am around an accent enough, I pick it up very quickly, I cannot help it.
I’d likely pronounce a name the same as the person speaks it to me. Really depends on the accent/language and my correlating familiarity with it though.
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 4 weeks ago:
The ahh sound is pretty common in New England accents I’m pretty certain. Goin to the ha-bah this sum-ah (harbor this summer).
Many of us don’t pronounce Rs completely, and vowel sound have a slight adjustment. Bob, and Bahb, is such a small change, but saying Bob in Maine or Boston, I totally hear it, Bahb. Yeah, I totally understand what OP means.

I think about the car thing a lot, as we may need a new one in a few years.
My husband’s father leased a new BMW. He picked us up on easter with it. The whole front is a giant screen. You wave your hand a certain way, it can change the song or adjust the volume… by waving your hand. While he thought it was cool, all I could think about was the fact something was visually recording every movement in the car. And what of you’re a person who talks with their hands?
Stupid fucking needless features.

sitting in the office waiting to die 8 hours a day
That is exactly why I absolutely thrived in manufacturing. Well, the right type of manufacturing. I’d rather die than work in an office. I lasted exactly one month at my one and only desk job before I had to quit and find something different.
I don’t write often anymore either, but recently tried to write a letter to someone, wow after a few sentences could I notice how out of practice I was. I ‘jot things down’ all the time, but a letter, paragraphs, whew.
I think it’s tough, because many degree jobs are all desk jobs, so it’s like, you want the degree and good money, but the work, doesn’t sound fun. Im glad wfh has helped though, thats great

Doodle. I always doodled in my notes. Repeating patterns worked for me, because I am no artist.
I am still unmedicated, and method helped me a lot with lectures using pencil snd paper for notes.
Everyones different, I failed my online college courses. In person, I do alright. You may like online better.
But if you’re forced to sit in lecture, fuckin doodle.

Right and this is fine. But adding “ham flavorings” to a bag of dried beans weirded me out.

I watched Earthlings while I was nursing my newborn. Thats all it took.
Regular milk was easy to give up, I like coconut milk better anyway, cheese was much harder to be honest. Still milk, but cheese was rough. Hummus was the only thing that could satiate the creving.
I’m pretty certain soy won’t give you “big boobs” unless you had a quantum fuckton of it, so much so, it’s impossible for a human to consume naturally.

I had to buy beans at Walmart the other day… I don’t normally get them there. I was looking for white beans. They had this brand in both fhe 15soup pack, and they also had a white bean pack. I saw in the white bean pack, they add “ham flavoring”. I was so grossed out, what is ham flavoring in dried beans? I had to buy the great calue brand. No ham flavoring added.

Even when I’m not a practicing vegan, I dislike cream cheese and sour cream. I cant order many things just because if you ask them to leave it off, you might not only get a look for it, but they may just put it on there anyway.
I threw a crunch wrap out the window about ten years ago. Not my finest moment, but fuck sour cream, I was starving and it just ruined everything. Aye.

any of the white beans have been my jam lately, but ive also had a spot for fava beans, and of course, my spicy beans wouldn’t be the same with out the pinto
- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 5 weeks ago:
When I boil my beans, I add bay leaf to the water. I think it helps.
But I made a white bean, cabbage, bacon, chop tomato soup for dinner last night, no gas. My husband didn’t have gas…
I didn’t do the bay leaf thing this time, so idk. I think beans just have hella fiber, and idk if your from the US or not, but I’ve read a few times over the years, many people here don’t get enough fiber day to day in the states.
I think the gas has more to do with folks who don’t often eat high fiber foods. When you then, do, it gives you issues.
You’re probably at least somewhat right, if you have beans often, they digest more easily. I had guessed it was because they have high fiber though. It also could have to do with eating under cooked beans, which is never a good idea.

I was on a work crew once when I was vegan. We cut trees and all rode to the locations in the same work van. One day we stopped for Ice Cream at a really popular place before calling it the day. Yay on the clock shenanigans, boo, it’s ice cream. They asked if I was cool with it, and of course I said I didnt mind, and just waited in the van.
I almost cried when my supervisor brought me out a slushy. I didn’t know they had them. It was very kind of my supervisor. No one ever made fun of me, but it was definitely obvious to everyone in day to day talk/life I had the dietary restriction.
