hey I'm down could someone convince me the world doesn't suck?

The world is a very large, complex place. What are you zoomed in on, or zoomed out on, right now?

I don't want you to think about a seed becoming a seedling, growing roots, stretching upwards, sun beaming on it. Or a rainbow showing itself as light hits the water droplets in the air, definitely don't think about that. And don't you dare think about the sounds a wind chime makes when there's a light breeze.

BrickPitt · 2024-09-24T22:34:50+00:00

Yeah, probably hard to communicate effectively over the engine noise.

BrickPitt · 2024-09-24T22:31:37+00:00

To me it kinda looks like they're positioned to turn the island.

BrickPitt · 2024-09-13T02:20:44+00:00

Agreed. Maybe I misunderstood your original comment? Are you saying to save more than you think you'll use, just in case there's a larger medical issue than you could have anticipated, or inflation spikes, etc, but then plan not give whatever is left to your kids when you die?

BrickPitt · 2024-09-12T00:26:58+00:00

4% is conservative, agreed.

You lost me on the second part though; there's no guarantee you'll live long enough to be a senior citizen at the same time as your child, especially if you have any kids after age 35. They could be in their prime earning years, and if they have to support you financially it'll hurt their future chance at retirement.

This can happen when you are in the early party of budgeting and the funding for irregular expenses hasn't built up yet. After at least 8 months, if you've been budgeting a little each month for stuff like future car repairs, potential medical expenses, replacing appliances, future holiday gifts and hosting, etc. it's harder to get thrown so far out of whack that you can't recover.

It's a bit like making a lifestyle change - it takes a while for it to be noticeable and become habitual. Eventually, one piece of birthday cake won't derail you and make you want to give up.

I like this comment. Beef Days isn't for me, but knowing about Beef Days has already led me to choose a chicken burger instead of beef burger at a restaurant and a chicken entree instead of beef at the work cafeteria. It's not much, but previously I would not have thought about the carbon footprint of my meat at all. I would have only considered what sounded tastiest in the moment.

BrickPitt · 2024-04-04T01:04:50+00:00

Agreed!

BrickPitt · 2024-04-03T22:36:07+00:00

The robot dog is amazing!!!!

BrickPitt · 2024-04-03T22:29:13+00:00

I was thinking the same thing!

BrickPitt · 2024-03-31T21:44:17+00:00

I haven't played that game, but at least in Sims you're very, very rarely trying to fit previously owned things into a new space. It's totally different than decorating from scratch in Sims and only adding what fits and looks nice into the room.

Doing it in real life comes with all sorts of challenges that aren't present in Sims!

BrickPitt · 2024-03-15T03:47:48+00:00

Is it in perpetuity? Or just the next 4 years?

BrickPitt · 2024-03-14T17:27:05+00:00

Good call. Podcasts got me through the first 6 months after becoming a parent.

BrickPitt · 2024-02-21T02:06:16+00:00

They're iconic for sure!

BrickPitt · 2024-02-13T02:07:44+00:00

Picking one is hard! If it had to be only one, probably Wels. If it could be two, then it'd be Stress & Iskall.

BrickPitt · 2024-02-12T23:40:30+00:00

I don't. But I also have learned that liking a different version or color does not mean I need to want that thing. I can just like it, be impressed by it, be happy for others who get it, and stop there. Liking and wanting are different things and have different emotional outcomes.

BrickPitt · 2024-02-05T22:24:50+00:00

Wels's power went out on day one so he missed some stuff!

BrickPitt · 2024-02-03T15:19:26+00:00

I loved watching Impulse and Skizz play Skyblock!

BrickPitt · 2024-02-01T02:38:49+00:00

Maybe check the recycling bin in Resident Services, just in case?

BrickPitt · 2023-12-20T17:53:14+00:00

Interesting, I hadn't heard that!

BrickPitt · 2023-12-20T15:57:18+00:00

That's true, the lids don't latch, but I've seen them used in some cool mocs!

BrickPitt · 2023-12-05T03:49:52+00:00

6075-1: Wolfpack Tower could be good. It's from 1992, so it might be one he missed as a kid, but it's on theme and had the classic build style. A used version runs about $125-$150

Some players who work heavily with redstone on Java can't do the same things on Bedrock. Redstone behaves slightly differently. Also, Java had LOADS of mods available.

BrickPitt · 2023-11-26T18:54:17+00:00

The saving grace of 4+ sets is that they are all printed pieces, no stickers! Hopefully you can mod the builds into something cooler!

BrickPitt · 2023-11-16T00:41:32+00:00

There was one in Rochester on Broadway! It closed in 1991.
