I know lots of places that blur the line between bar, venue and club, depending on the night. There would be dancing most nights, but sometimes with live music instead of a dj. And while the dance floor is prominent, you can easily just chill in a booth.

Just picked up Kingdom Come Deliverance II from a discount site. I liked the idea of the first one but ultimately found it a bit too frustrating to finish. Heard enough good stuff about the sequel smoothing out the edges to give it a try.

Lmao no way. I was picturing a 3 year old.

Yeah I think kids get a pass on not understanding this, but I can only assume Elon looked at the server after this and expected them to acquiesce, instead of, you know, parenting.

Also a kid ordering something weird at a restaurant is a low tier example of 'kids say the darndest' things and is in no way 'based'.

Feels like manipulation. Waits till markets close after a major sell off. Gives a tip to some insiders who bet big on a monday rally, then give the markets enough news to think there might be some relief.

I never really got into cs, but natural selection was the best. Even the stripped down combat mode slapped.

I think we’re just on very different pages around what the comfort of sitting upright brings to my method of transport, which is fair.

Some good tips in here, but I’d say that for 90% of utilitarian riders that the comfort of sitting upright will vastly outweigh the advantages of being aero. I would say that you’re better off either committing to aero and doing like you recommend, or getting some proper Dutch style handlebars. The in between style I see on most casual bikes here in North America (hybrids) is the worst of both worlds imo.

One thing I do like about the trailers is that, at low speeds at least, icy conditions are really just a hazard for the one stuck pedalling the bike. I can do 80% of my trips on paths separated from cars so it's usually about as much risk as crossing the road.

Yeah been there (the parent pulling the screaming toddler). I always bring a couple back-up snacks to try to deflect the meltdown.

I do costco runs with my 2 kids in the trailer. Slowly start putting more and more stuff around them and they think it's some kind of game. Thankfully I have an ebike cause that shit is heavy on the way home.

Yeah I added this to my ereader years ago after a friend recommended it enough times that I felt obligated to. Opened it once but couldn’t fight the feeling that it was going to be terrible so never started.

I’m hyped for the reforged release so I can chill and play on my steam deck. I played a ton back in the day, and have checked back in over time (most recent was 5 years ago), and excited to see there’s new interest.

I doubt there’s enough of us to form a guild, but I’ll be on in the evenings PST if anyone wants to join! Ign: Eskarina W

 

I'll admit that I have a fondness for personality tests. I find them interesting, but I have no delusions about their ability to contribute to any meaningful analysis of one's life. That said, I don't think it's helpful to compare a system that is based on when you are born, to one that is based on answers to a variety of questions about how you would respond to different scenarios. The ways these tests are used by employers is exploitative, but that doesn't mean that there aren't interesting things to glean from categorizing trends in how people respond to these questions.

Astrology is uninteresting because it lacks even this barest of links to what you might be experiencing as an individual, but personality tests at least try to group you with like-minded groups. There are so many valid criticisms of personality tests, but at least they try, whereas astrology is lazy in so many ways.

anyways if you can't tell I'm an INTP and therefore always trying to understand things at a deeper level and probably better than you and or bad at communicating or something.

 

I'm AMAB cishet, but I've been struggling with understanding my gender vs my sex. I'm very comfortable with my body, including by sexual characteristics, but have never felt a strong affinity to the male gender. Is there a term for this? Everything I look up includes some kind of body dysphoria, which is not something I relate to.
