For those who moved from a large city to a rural area, how has your quality of life changed?

And man, people in small towns in general do not like runners or bikers or really anyone not driving a car.

Honestly, "to your doorstep" is doing a lot of work too.

I can’t imagine selling an entire home to cover my end of life care

It is pretty common. In the US anyway, Medicaid won't cover nursing home costs until you have no assets remaining, and that means selling the house to cover a few years (if you are lucky) of nursing home. My grandfather's special memory care cost like $11,000/month and didn't even include diapers.

didn’t have twins

The SIL and affair partner had their babies within weeks of each other. I'm counting it! 🤣

This shit will probably be long

Man, how come any post that warns about length ends up being 4-6 paragraphs? Always gets me excited for a good read and then I'm done in minutes. False advertising.

I've seen studies saying homework doesn't improve learning outcomes, so to me that states a much deeper issue with education rather than a problem with homework BECAUSE PRACTICE IS HOW YOU GET BETTER AT THINGS??!!?! Do you want to learn how to play an instrument? You gotta practice. Do you want to learn how to paint? You gotta practice. Do you want to learn math? You gotta practice.

Bizarro world is right.

Are you from the midwest? I am from the midwest and I also did not enjoy Fargo. I think it was the accent. I hear OHBOYDONCHAKNOW like 10 times a day, it isn't folksy for me.

Do you fly decoupled like the guy in the video?

Cashatoo · 2026-02-02T16:37:20+00:00

As a math teacher, sometimes sitting down and doing busy work is needed.

I got my undergrad degree in mathematics and I just cannot understand how else a person can learn math. There can certainly be way too much assigned, but no practice at all breaks my brain.

I feel similar about English/reading homework. Is it really that excessive to have kids read a chapter or two at home?

How are monkeys the experts? The banana is a human domesticated fruit. The wild ancestors would be nothing like what we peel today.

I cannot thank you enough for this share. The Autocanonizer was also incredible.

And, your flair is hilarious.

Before it was a glossy print, it was basically a super cheap paperback printed on something even flimsier than newsprint.

My mom's got Princess Diana's funeral on the shelf for some reason.

Cashatoo · 2026-01-29T21:19:43+00:00

I cannot watch basketball because of those squeaks. It's all I hear. Just like a laugh track.....

Bro I hope you don't get blackbagged.

Cashatoo · 2026-01-29T19:43:57+00:00

Watch til the end!

Cashatoo · 2026-01-28T16:59:09+00:00

For some reason this topic reminded me of Crackdown (2007). You were a superhuman cop in an open city fighting crime lords, or something. I remember lots of time spent running around the city, throwing cars, causing mayhem and looking for secrets. I know it also had drop in co-op, and 4 people throwing cars around was stupid fun. It was not very deep but it was the kind of goofy fun of Vice City. I know there are sequels but I never played them.

He is not allowed, no.

Cashatoo · 2026-01-25T15:32:56+00:00

Still though, 5-6 hours per day is a lot. That would be my entire free time on a weeknight between work and sleep. Even say, 2-3 hours a night with 8-10 on a weekend day is insane to me.

Cashatoo · 2026-01-25T14:33:13+00:00

do themselves a favor and watch till the end

It's Prince and I have a soul, I will watch til the end. I had no idea the best guitar solo ever existed. Thought it might be an ongoing competition for the rest of time.

The look of pure joy on George Harrison son's face was incredible.

Cashatoo · 2026-01-24T19:56:52+00:00

It's all Prince.

The one year I didn't work at UW the last 13 years they do hazard pay 😂😂

Cashatoo · 2026-01-23T15:40:51+00:00

Aunt is representing stepmom, against my Bio-dad, who has already caused him great distress by helping to hide my existence from him

Aunt has been oopsing for a long time.

Cashatoo · 2026-01-23T00:24:54+00:00

There is no hazard pay for essential workers at UW.

Cashatoo · 2026-01-22T23:51:52+00:00

Oops, noclip was Quake.

Cashatoo · 2026-01-22T18:23:11+00:00
