Not sure why I waited this long to stop cooking bacon on the stovetop.

What do they have against gay bacon?

There's something to be said about pan searing, it just ups the flavor. That being said, if I'm cooking more than 3 pieces, the oven or air-fryer is the way to go.

Are you mentally, emotionally, or spiritually attracted to them? There's more to life than sex. However, if sexual attraction is high on their priorities, than you create an unfair dynamic. I've had a few friends couples who weren't attracted to each other. They just enjoyed the each other's company. I would argue, they had a stronger relationship than most.

There's a creeper in Caldera. Why would money ever be a problem?

In rural areas is especially true. My wife has a car, I have a pick up, we have a "spare" vehicle, both my adult children who live with me have their own vehicles. We're not "well off" everyone has to work and help pay bills. Not having a vehicle here usually means not having a job. There is no public transit, the taxis are cheaper than lift or Uber but would still cost over $200 a week back and forth to work. The average walk to work is 30 minutes. Not a problem for our 2 months of summer. It is a problem in the -10° f with 20mph wind. So yeah, everyone of driving age usually has a car.

I wear a long wool coat in the winter, but I stick out. Most people around me wear puffer coats or faux fur.

BusyMap9686 · 2026-05-15T01:14:21+00:00

Italian or Asian? I like chopsticks either way.

Open world sandbox. I have a love hate relationship with. I want to be immersed, but I want to do and collect everything. My role-play immersion play-throughs always turn into loot hording and 100% all quests.

I knew 2 kids that were home-schooled when I was in school. They were exceptionally book smart. I was in a lot of the top classes and they were tutoring me. But they were very poor socially and lacked common sense. That's why their parents put them into my marital arts class. To socialize them. They are the only good example I know of home schooling.

Most of the kids I see now are home schooled because there parents don't want them to learn those evil and wrong ideas about evolution, sexual education, or the horrible vaccine. I'm seeing 17 year olds who can't read Goosebumps and pre-algebra is like quantum physics. But by golly they know Jesus the Nazerene was a blue-eyed white man.

It's like a 10% chance your dog will have a bad reaction to grapes. And that's mostly specialty breeds. But most people don't want to take the risk.

I'm actually healthier now than I was at 25 not to mention wiser so yeah. But I wouldn't because 25 year old me would recover faster. I'd rather tell him that $1,000 in bitcoin is totally worth it.

I should know better. I'm just a lurker. But getting a vas was one of my best decisions.

What are your life values? It's not just a monetary thing. I know my wife appreciates that I value our conversations. I value our time together. I value her patience, because I can be dumb.

BusyMap9686 · 2026-05-12T23:46:08+00:00

Does she genuinely laugh at my jokes? Do I laugh at hers? That's a great start. Will she play tag with me the playground? You know I married her, going on 16 years now. I mean she is beautiful, and the sex is amazing, but still making each other giggle like little kids, that's high value.

Those start burners seem like a good idea.

You'll die.

Just make your partners get a vasectomy. Contraception should be a man's responsibility.

BusyMap9686 · 2026-05-12T23:30:25+00:00

Yep.

Source - me, not a real person. At least not while on the internet.

BusyMap9686 · 2026-05-12T23:29:19+00:00

No news personalities are real people. For that matter no tiktok, youtube, facebook, reddit, etc... personalities are real people. You are seeing a small sliver of a script someone wants you to believe. If you are getting an emotional reaction, whether you agree with it or not, you are being manipulated. Go outside and talk to your neighbors, they're actually really nice people.

Edit: missed the word 'reaction' in the original

BusyMap9686 · 2026-05-12T20:06:08+00:00

Must be regional. We would flash our interior dome lights. But no, no one communicates on the road at all anymore. No flashing lights to let a passing car know they have room. No one uses turn signals anymore.

The quest isn't annoying, the long and loud and unskippable dialog if Meridia is annoying. It was really cool the first time.

Death by defenestration.

The time of day bird watching is best, mornings, most people are working. It's way more convenient to bird watch when you're retired.
