I didn't think people who liked Styx actually existed

Clench doesn't talk nearly as much about lifting as he used to. Most of his topics used to be about milk and egg prices

It's like saying "if you're depressed just drink more water." It's a good thing to do but it's essentially useless advice

Just be warned they might not be anywhere near that price in five years, though they also may.

Where I live, houses that were like 200k when I graduated college are now like 600 . I probably wouldn't have really been equipped to buy right out of college anyway but I told myself "I'm gonna save up for a few years first" and that was probably a mistake, probably could've just put less down on a cheaper house and ended up with a lower mortgage overall.

Don't do it

Lots of great logical opinions from mostly white people in here

I've recommended breathing exercises and the board rioted.

Walking is too much exercise for them.

No it's probably cause we don't want to listen to your pseudoscience-y advice on anything

Styx is a good version of journey

Haven't been getting my bone wet lately actually but thanks for not assuming otherwise

Mead. Dude.

True, but it hits everyone different. Though, that being said, some people aren't really avoiding it. There are plenty that still go out for work, to the store, or even to see friends and family... Some even for fun...

Okay dude you don't have to argue about everything I was just saying that staying at home doesn't mean staying in bed all day is normal

For wolfy42, it's probably due to the quarantine. He's at a higher risk, so he's probably been trying to avoid the outside. But being inside so long takes a toll on people. Especially if he's not working (even if working, in some cases). I can understand that...

Or depression

Most of us are avoiding going out

I often spend less than an hour out of bed per day lately. I get up only to use the restroom and make food/tea. I doubt I actually spend even 5 hours moving around per week. I used to work out 3 hours a day but havn't for 2 months now. Luckily my body resists gaining weight etc.

Yikes

Can't we just agree that you both have extremely corny tats and call it a day

The beach barely qualifies as "hot". Arizona is hot.

This is a really weird hill to die on, hope you can get over your strange contrarian pedant phase someday

I think what he's talking about is the teleportation of data. Basically the implications would be instantaneous internet, teleportation of matter is still something that seems pretty much impossible

I like Skyward Sword but as someone who didn't have too many issues with the controls it just doesn't look like it's going to be different enough to interest me. I've played all these old Zelda games so much that I don't think I'd rebuy any (and maybe not even replay the ones I have) unless they were full-fledged remakes

The world we live in is so miserable in no small part due to people like Rush Limbaugh, let us have a little moment of joy before we go back to our miserable lives

Maybe go look up how Rush treated the people mentioned and then read the post again

Not a reason to be as terrible as him.

Didn't know Bligh had a decades long radio show on which he weaponized lies and fear mongering to make the world a worse place for his own personal gain

It's true that people have a tendency to set their expectations too high, like for example when they do an indie showcase and people are like "where's pokemon?". But I think people were somewhat justified expecting a lot from this one. Knowing only that it was 50 minutes and Smash would be part of it made it sound like it would be for more major announcements

Generalized directs have always had lowlights but yeah it does seem pretty arbitrary what they decide to highlight or not. A lot of the kind of stuff they showed comes out all the time without special announcements and a lot of the stuff that's not shown is better lol

Yeah but we could still be active while inside! I got Nintendo Ring Fit for this very reason.

I like to get out of the house if I'm going to exercise, fuck that

I did start taking short walks every day but the past week or so has been so cold it's not worth it. Hopefully soon I can get back to that and maybe a month or two more I'll be comfortable with riding my bike again.

It's cold out and there's a pandemic.
I'm doing my part by staying inside.

Yeah, this, though I bet pre pandemic numbers weren't good either. I have never been a gym rat or anything but I used to be fairly decent about exercising

RCtheWSBC posted...

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms! I wanted a proper guest bedroom and home office space.

This is what I did too but I kinda wish I had just gone two bed; office and guest bed in one room would've sufficed. I underestimated how difficult it would be to heat this much space.

That's not meant to discourage or anything I just thought about it again after Jen brought up the extra room. Since you're in a condo it's probably not as big of an issue

Most of the time I just read about them afterwards and yeah even then there is a small number of things that interest me. That's why I usually just skip watching but I figured I'd watch live this time and I evidently wasn't prepared for how much more visceral the disappointment was.

first direct in a year and a half and its all shit

Seriously lol, and they didn't even have a cool Smash character at least. Ten minutes left to save it

I purposely avoided an HOA but it would be kinda nice to just pay money and know that you can get stuff fixed. For like a month I was so gung ho about making little home improvement tweaks for fun then as soon as I hit stuff that was closer to being an actual need I was like "man fuck this" lol

Some of it I'm not sure would be covered by an HOA anyway though

I guess that makes sense, but I need to go to the grocery more than I need to go to the gym. And I also have no idea how safe it is gym to gym, which would require me to go to them a few times to get a feel, but it's not a place you can just walk in freely like a grocery. For you I assume you already had a place you go but for me I had just wrapped up my membership at one place and was looking for a new one right when the pandemic hit.

I put down less than 20 also and it didn't seem to be a big deal, just kind of a bummer to have to pay mortgage insurance

DirtBasedSoap posted...

try to treat Rush Limbaugh with the same dignity, respect, and humanity as he showed to rape victims, Michael J. Fox, Sandra Fluke, Iraq War veterans, refugees, and the victims of mosque shootings.

Done

I'm terrible at napping anyway so I don't have that problem. But my sleep is bad still

Yep, it's a textbook example of a brain drunk on extremism.

What is it an example of when thousands of covid deaths are handwaved away because people are mad they can't eat inside a restaurant?

Here, let's see how it sounds when it's about Rush:

"Well he was 70 years old. Can't expect people to live forever"

"Big deal, people die every day from a lot of other causes too"

"How can you say it was lung cancer from smoking cigarettes when he also had a history of abusing pills? Maybe if he wanted to survive he should have taken care of himself so he wouldn't be in a risk group"

Oh I didn't know you were that far along, I assumed you meant you were just getting the loan pre approval and meeting a realtor and stuff. I think you have all the hard stuff out of the way then. Closing is just sitting down and signing a bunch of shit

Good luck! I just bought mine in September and it's a very involved and stressful process

Are you allowed out on walks and stuff? Those keep me occupied.

Yes of course, but it's cold and I'm inside working for the relative nice part of the day five days a week

I'm not literally incapable of motivating myself but I don't think that wanting to be around other people as motivation is necessarily a bad thing. For example at work we used to have a big board for people to put personal goals on. When we started working from home I still worked on and finished my goal but it just isn't the same knowing that people could no longer walk by and read it every day, or likewise not have myself walking by and possibly gaining inspiration from what others put down.

My point is that you have a tendency to post a lot of unwanted, unhelpful advice, and this isn't the worst of it, but considering how long you've been doing it despite how often people tell you that they really don't find it useful, I don't have a lot of patience for it. Sometimes people just want to vent on the board and aren't looking for an armchair therapy session dude. Plus from you it usually comes off less as genuinely wanting to help people but instead about projecting an image that you have your life together

Like 80% of the people here have extremely boring and sterile lives. And we're also nuts I guess but not like kimbo

Self motivate, don't worry about others.

"If you don't like to be depressed try being happy it's that easy"

Like eating junk food, drinking soda, looking at my phone all the time, etc. It was easier to not do these things as much when I had to go in to work and had the prospect of having more people to judge and motivate me (plus just the general better mood of not being in a pandemic).

I feel like I had it figured out early in the pandemic, but either winter or pandemic fatigue set in and it's so difficult now. Not that I ever really loved winter but this has been the toughest by far. Hopefully things will start to look up once I can get outdoors more often

The problem is the age old "who polices the police" question, and that's why so many people feel like a complete upheaval is necessary. Even if we take little steps it's generally reliant on people acting in good faith. But we've seen like how useless body cams are. Cops can just turn them off, and if they don't do that, they can capture themselves killing someone on camera and their superiors will just ignore that and make up lies to justify it.

But I forget internet people wish we had no police at all

Strawman.

I just wish we had, among other things:
- Less militarization of police (for civilian safety plus opening up the budget for the below)
- More money into education and community outreach
- Using trained social workers for welfare checks
- Better police training and cutting white supremacists out of their ranks (this is the one I unfortunately tend to agree you can't just easily legislate away through small steps which is why a lot of people want to tear down and rebuild it completely)

responding to crime

responding to crime

Aka reactionary approach, aka not proactively preventing it

What if, crazy idea, instead of having this "bad things are going to happen, but we'll she sure as hell kick your ass for it" attitude in America, we tried instead to not make bad things happen?

It's ironic that the celebrities who say they hate the police the most are often the first ones to run crying to them if something goes wrong.

People hate the reality of what police are, not the idealized concept of policing. Like you always see the strawman "I guess they hate keeping our communities safe" but cops don't do that, or it's only safe for some at the cost of safety to others. But you don't really have an option to call the "good" police so what else are people who hate cops supposed to do?

Speaking of cops not keeping communities safe, it's always funny when they falsely relate defunding to more crime, then it turns out there wasn't any defunding anyway. It's almost like having cops doesn't actually prevent crime!

Its weird that youre sitting here melting down about the very simple fact that a stranger doesnt care to talk to you

I don't really care, but between the pointlessness of it all and their general rudeness I found it pretty off-putting. They also could've just moved on and not said anything about me being on ignore.
