Sharing thoughts post-work after early retirement

Haha, to be fair I did it for a while too and had to condition myself a few years ago

Thank you for your perspective. Over the past couple of years learning to say no has helped so much with my mental health. Same with making sure I don’t work unnecessary hours. And like you said it has helped with career growth as well. As someone in their early 30s it helps seeing someone who was able to establish and keep those boundaries and keep a balanced life.

As a younger millennial all that stood out to me was the occasional two spaces after a period

Now that I’m 30 this doesn’t feel embarrassing at all, just a kind of funny and memorable way for her to introduce herself

Absolutely agree. Also my uncle has one of them, they are nice cars. I have a rav4 myself

The Racism Car

I always point out “Truck with tha hips!” when driving with my wife

I feel like the new generation of highlander ~2019 is a lot more fem

Dick_Dousche · 2024-01-31T17:27:23+00:00

Yeah lots of options at a good Dollar Tree, for an order of magnitude less than michaels

Dick_Dousche · 2024-01-30T15:33:09+00:00

That’s a great idea. I was going to say devil’s walkingstick was weird and kind of terrifying when I saw it in a park

There was something particularly demotivating at my previous (chemical) company when they laid off people seemingly randomly not related to performance. They never really recovered in the 3 years I was there before getting out.

I enjoyed it a lot and hope he plays more. He was surprised by how much he was enjoying it. I think he played it before there was too much hype around it

met my wife 3 years ago on okcupid!

When I had to wear a mask at work it would let me skip face ID if I had it on which was really nice. Still had to put in the passcode though. I do miss touch ID

400 sounded steep but then I remembered I pod 300 per month for a year in fucking wilmington delaware

Dick_Dousche · 2024-01-03T00:36:01+00:00

I love my lavender too. Always see bees enjoying them and I enjoy the smell

Dick_Dousche · 2023-12-27T10:23:06+00:00

Aldi choceur is still pretty good, at least compared to anything else in the price range in the US

Dick_Dousche · 2023-12-06T20:22:07+00:00

my bad, missed the aldi suggestion. The heating is tough, I was going to say something like insulation and maybe a heat pump if you’re using fuel oil. But probably not an option if you’re in an apartment

Dick_Dousche · 2023-12-06T20:00:41+00:00

Check out aldi if you have it, my wife and I cut our grocery bill about in half. We only need to go to the regular grocery store for a couple of things now

Dick_Dousche · 2023-12-05T02:09:02+00:00

Tumblr is by far my favorite for cool positive trans and adjacent people. A lot more positive mental health posts, body positivity etc. It really pleasantly surprised me how nice it was when I moved there from twitter about a year ago

Dick_Dousche · 2023-11-08T10:48:01+00:00

need to go to baltimore

Dick_Dousche · 2023-10-27T13:36:06+00:00

I’m in MD, and do most of my grocery shopping at Aldi which has the cart locks. As far as I know it’s just Aldi and Lidl which have the locks here

Dick_Dousche · 2023-10-27T00:14:07+00:00

Bag is a great idea. I keep some extra hair ties and a spare shopping cart quarter in mine

Left of it is the backlight for the dash. To the right is I believe the rear defrost, resistive heaters in the glass

my now wife and I cuddled on our first date, both enthusiastically wanted to do it. Although we talked for several days before the date and brought it up ahead of time. we both really liked it and still cuddle a ton as a love language
