Kind of stresses me out how much my current landlord has put a bunch of cleaning duties on the lease. I mean how clean am I supposed to keep this place when I spend most of my time working and being too exhausted to do anything when I'm not working? I don't want them to randomly inspect my house without notice when changing my filters and then get mad that it's not perfectly clean and kick me out or some insane BS. I keep up with throwing out trash which is the main thing but I'm not always caught up on dishes or laundry so I have that lying around sometimes

I don't eat at fried chicken joints (KFC,popeyes,similar)

A friend of mine did that one time. He'd never been to Starbucks before. He placed his order then went and grabbed his drink. Which I thought was really strange since I'd ordered before he did and mine wasn't ready yet.

He started drinking, made a face, and said, "I don't think this is what I ordered." And it was like really obvious that it was the wrong thing. He'd ordered a Frappuccino and this was like some bright red fruity-looking thing.

And sure enough, a few moments after they called my name they called his.

The funny thing was that the guy whose drink he stole never did show up to claim it.

Maybe he was a nonconfrontational guy and just went in his head "mofo stole my drink" and left...rare to see a person that passive but yeah

Apparently I'm a Hungry Woman now, since I love French Toast

2 bedrooms? That's luxury. Why do you need 2?
Also 40 hours? I work on average 60. Only lazy people who have no backbone work 40 hours a week.

60 hours in what kind of job tho. That's fkin exhausting for a lot of jobs and will lead you to an early grave. Regardless this is cucked like man101 said above

No one said the boys in this topic yet?

The only other more 'authentic' places I have near me are texmex and they are more expensive by a good bit. Chipotle tastes great for the price and gives good quantity. However they're overloaded in sodium but that's all restaurants that do that **** because excess salt is like a drug that the american people have been hooked onto

How did it feel coming inside

Your house after you got laid off? Did you scream?

I've never seen "gamer" as being someone who just plays games, but someone who defines some facet of their personality around gaming. Where it starts to bleed into other aspects of your life - the sort of people who have video game-related in-jokes with friends, or lots of video game merch, or basically sort of "living" games rather than just playing them. "Gamer" is when gaming stops being an activity and becomes part of your life (and it's not necessarily a competitive mindset - I don't think you need to be a "pro gamer" sort of player to be a "gamer").

For me personally the two have always sort of been inextricably intertwined - gaming came into pop culture right around the same time I started gaming, so it was easy to fall into that sort of mindset where gaming was a huge part of my identity. When I was around 5, my cousin had a ColecoVision and I used to like to play it when I was at his house, then I got one for Christmas. I played Coleco and Atari 2600 games for years, then moved on to the NES and SNES, then the PS1 and PS2, the Xbox and the 360, and now the PS4. There's never been a time in the last 40 years when I didn't have at least one console hooked up in my house (or college dorm). Sometimes multiple ones at once.

Meanwhile, I was pretty much raised on the massive video game themed assault on pop culture in the early 80s. Shows like Saturday Supercade, Pac-Man, Pole Position, and the later Super Mario Bros cartoons. Pac-Man shaped Spaghetti-Os. Donkey Kong and "Nintendo Entertainment System" cereal. Board games. Movies. Even non-game related stuff like Tron that was game-adjacent. I dressed up like Link for Halloween. I've owned Nintendo-themed t-shirts, Atari-themed t-shirts, Final Fantasy themed t-shirts, and even a Halo t-shirt. I've had video game themed keychains. I have video game themed stuffed animals.

I'd play arcade games like Arkanoid, Rampage, and Gauntlet (and later Street Fighter) when my mom took me to the grocery store to shop. Later I'd go to a local bowling alley every couple of weeks and play games with my friends (off the top of my head, I remember Dragon's Lair 2, Time Traveler, Hard Drivin', The Avengers, X-Men, and eventually Mortal Kombat). A few years after that, I'd occasionally go to arcades at the local boardwalk and play games like Revolution X or Mad Dog McCree. As an adult I've taken my niece and nephew to Chuck E. Cheese and played games like Mario Kart or Let's Go Jungle! with them.

If you asked me to imagine a world where video games were never invented, I'm not sure I could - so much of my life has revolved around gaming in some way I can't imagine what it would be like without it. That's sort of what it means to be a "gamer" to me.

And it's basically been a core part of my entire life. Along with comic books and fantasy novels/shows, it defines a large part of my interests and hobbies. And has done for almost as long as I've been alive.

This is stupid AF to me, a true gamer to me just means someone who has played a variety of games throughout their life and actively plays a good amount (has it as one of their main hobbies). You don't have to be materialist and buy tons of BS merch. The games or consoles themselves were good enough, and you might not even own them anymore but you did at some point. You don't have to make it your entire identity or personality if you don't want to, but you should be able to talk about, discuss at length, and critique games to a good extent.

I don't really drink soda cans. If I do get soda (mainly coke (zero)) it's from a restaurant. Though I'm sure that isn't clean either because they never hire enough people to clean shit properly. Just have to take risks when you dine out either way, it's just how it is.

Had to move recently to a first floor apt. I've already had to do warfare against ants and I had 0 rotting food they could smell. Maybe the only thing was a slightly ripening banana, am I not allowed to buy bananas now? Maybe I'll just buy apples and keep them in the fridge. I made a wall of cinnamon near my front door where they're coming in thru a small crack on the side of the floorboard under the door.

I need to buy some borax and mix it with sugar or something, but that'll attract them initially too which is something I don't want because they're only coming occasionally

I don't have a PS5 so can't. Sadly can't justify buying a PS5 after moving murdered my savings this year.

As of right now it's probably still global thermonuclear war, or a meteor/space threats

I'm lucky they were remodeling because I didn't have to clean anything, but I still didn't think I'd get it back because well that's just been my experience.

Re:zero for world building though I wish it had a less cringey MC
