I’d say an 8 or a 9, it was a pretty idyllic childhood. Both my parents were pretty great, we only had a few major disagreements/arguments that I can recall. I had a good group of friends and had no trouble getting along with anyone.

We were solidly middle class never had any needs unmet. Didn’t get everything I wanted but certainly didn’t lack either. Generally I felt loved and encouraged, maybe too much but not in a spoiled way. I always had to do chores mow lawn, wash dishes, walk the dog cook once a week as I got older, etc. I had a job senior year of HS to earn spending money but they also paid for half my car (I think 3000 out of 6000). They had saved up some money for college but what would have been enough for 4 years when I was born only covered a year by the time I went to college.

IDK it was pretty good overall. Looking back and at how people turned out I think my parents did a good job compared to a lot of others.

I can’t tell if this is a shitty seller or shitty bidder. It could be a 25 dollar item the seller thinks is worth 350, or it could just be someone looking for a score.

If I’m making a serious bid I take 10-20% off max.

I wanted a cybiko so bad as a teen. It seemed like it would be so cool if everyone I knew bought one. Of course no one did, but I still think they are awesome.

Reading this I should live like a medieval peasant and only eat potatoes, onions, and root vegetables and drink nothing but beer. I’m kinda down with that.

This is a pretty nonconsensual take don’t you think? If OPs partner were into men instead of women would she have to stay in the relationship?

Not sure if it will help but sometimes charging overnight on a 5W charger can get it going if the battery is just really dead. Probably the easiest way to ensure you’re getting 5W is a USB A to C cable connected to a PC or laptop. If you have an older wallwart with a USB A port it’s probably 5W charging as well. Could be worth a shot before sending it back.

Install steam. Look in the discovery store. Once installed steam should behave just like windows. At most you might have to go into steam settings then compatibility and enable steam play but it should be enabled by default now.

Tekken 7 is on sale for 10 bucks for another few days.

The only voice function I use is setting timers and I get so frustrated Google wants me to unlock my phone to do so. I am using my voice because my hands are busy. So annoying!

I’m Chaotic Evil. I’ve been watching IASIP since season 1 and could probably quote every line.

Silicon Valley also makes fun of nerds, but it’s for nerds. BBT just made nerds the butt of the joke.

Get another carrot and when they come home just start chompping down on it nonchalantly. Total power move to establish your dominance.

It’s been almost 20 years since I felt patriotic. I mostly just comfort the dog and hope the yahoos don’t accidentally burn my house down.

Milk is weird. I don’t think any other mammals drink it after childhood, or from other animals.

We still have coffee and creamer, but it’s the worst shit imaginable, just burnt beans and powdered creamer. I was pissed when I went to our HQ in another state, which is smaller than our site and they had a good brand from my city and multiple real creamers. They had a free soda fountain too which we don’t have, but I’m trying to cut that shit outta my life so that’s probably for the best.

So glad I live 5 minutes from work and can go home for lunch. Mostly it’s to see the dog but it’s also nice not worrying about this crap.

I only ever use our group’s mini fridge in our cubicle for a seltzer I drink at the end of the day. Even that is a chaotic fridge filled with rotting food and too many condiments and creamers. I just put a can in to cool in the morning and take it out to drink by the end of the day.

I think in my dreams I already know who they are whether it’s someone I know IRL or it’s someone completely imaginary.

The Slate truck looks interesting and is exactly what you describe. Time will tell if it pans out.

Having two butters to manage seems like a lot of work.

At least it wasn’t meth lite. That shit is nasty.

Well space travel does require some “tasty treats.”
