I have two cars, but I actually hate cars.

I chose to have a house in the mountains, but I hate snow.

I work out hard and have abs that I show off, but people who show off their abs annoy me.

I'm a writer and make income doing it in addition to my retirement pension, but writers annoy me and I never tell my friends that I'm a writer.

I also paint and have had my stuff in some galleries, but artists annoy me and I never tell any of my friends that I paint.

I've chosen all those things. Not by necessity, but just choice. Can you be a contrarian to your own views or does that definition have to involve opposing someone else's views just to troll?

Valentine's...

Another memo about my failure as an adult. At the warehouse I'm working lots of the package and merch are hearts, plushies, and similar heart shaped stuff, plus some Xmas decorations for some fucking reason...

Is there any way to escape it? I guess not. I probably wouldn't think too much about it if I was younger but since last week was my bday ready to remind me that I'm getting old... This back to back just crushes me.

Hey,

I live in a small town in europe, built a house and well it takes me about 25 minutes to the next bigger city (not huge one, lets say 50.000 people live there.

I sometimes find myself getting frustrated because the next gym is 7 minute drive by car to another smaller town. Grocery shopping I also do in another town nearby. Same people, same stuff, nothing new.

I am thinking about selling my house but I love the quiet area too. I love my freedom in my house and yard and I know everyone in town but nobody has my interests.

I can't just go to board game nights, meet many people in a bar, go shopping, go to a cafe and all that. I always have to drive those 25 minutes first.

But would I do all those things I wrote above if I'd live in the city? A few friends live in that city and say everything is so expensive and they do the same as I do (same gym, same grocery, same routine) just in the city.

But I feel like I am missing out.

I tried looking at the reviews for a monitor, and when I clicked "see more reviews" I got redirected to a page asking me to login and to provide my mobile phone number (which I didn't do for privacy reasons).

On Instagram I was confused at everyone else mentioning Instagram stories because I only have the option of uploading pictures and videos. Then I found out that it's something you can only do if you use Instagram on a phone... I swear I've came across a few sites that wouldn't even let you sign up if you were using a PC

I only ever browse social media on a PC and that's the way it will always be. Sometimes I can't help but feel like desktop/computer users are becoming an afterthought. Anyone else have similar feelings? 🫠

It's beyond me why anyone would let this man anywhere near this job. Also, people want him back again? Anyone who likes him is not to be trusted. The country and the world cannot take any more of the ventriloquist comedy of Jeff Dunham.

I cut my own hair today for the first time and I am so happy with the result. I look like a cute little lesbian with a tomboy haircut and I have been smiling every time I see my reflection. It's was really tricky to get right and it took a long time.. I'm sure someone else could have done a better job.. but I finally look like myself! I put my jewellery back on for the first time in months because I felt like I deserve to look my best.

I got exactly one compliment when I went out today. "Did you cut your hair?" "Yes." "Nice." It's not much but I'll take it xD

On a side note, is this what it feels like to fit your gender? Just knowing I look like this instead of a guy with long hair has made me feel different about so many random things today

Could be one specific task or just in general.

Nice story I wanted to share, seen on https://old.reddit.com/r/CasualConversation/comments/1i092q3/my_dad_accidentally_became_famous_in_our/

My dad is super quiet. He doesn’t like talking to people, skips parties, and just wants to read books by himself. So I was pretty shocked when I found out he’s kinda famous now.

A few months ago, he built a birdhouse in our yard. Then he made another. And another. Now, our yard looks like a little bird village with tiny houses everywhere.

People around here started noticing and coming by to check it out. One day, someone knocked on the door and asked if they could take a picture of the birdhouses.

My dad said sure, and now people stop by all the time to take pictures and say how cool his yard is. It’s crazy!

Did you already get your hands on the new Super Comics?

In this issue named "Unlimited number of coins", evil Scrooge McDuck from Multiverse with help of Rafans used a magical mirror from Magica to enslave a whole city Duckburg and steal all other Money Bins from different universes into big Giant Money Multibin which consists of others smaller Money Bins and is so huge, that blocks sun from Duckburg.

As the plot progress, Uncle Scruggs from different universes, countries and historical epochs unite, stop fighting between each other and start to cooperate.

With help of Gyro inventor, they manage to break into multiverse and fight against evil McDuck to get back their money which were stolen from them.

In the end, they invoke huge Donald Duck army which defeats the Rafans and they pacify the evil multi-verse McDuck.

He then breaks down as he valuated only the money and the balance in universe is restored. Money Bins are returned and Uncle Scrooges go back to their universes to continue work on their own local Duckburgs and protect them against evil Rafans and enemies.

The plague of NIMBY's may yield if a real plan is put in place to rebuild better. Vast areas could be rezoned for density. A way of addressing the enormous number of displaced people could also address the largest homeless population in the USA. The city that defines urban sprawl could be redefined. How does this play out?
