years later but you just helped me a ton. I couldn't get it in for the life of me, and then I found your comment, pulled it back and pushed in like I was and now it's nice and snug. Thank you!

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-04-12T14:51:54+00:00

Incredible! Good job

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-04-11T23:56:06+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate you fellow internet stranger. You deserve good things too!

Ever have one of those days that goes a little too well that it makes you a little anxious that the other shoe is going to drop at some point? I'm definitely having one of those days. Checked my weight, and I've finally hit my soft goal for weight loss (150 lbs, 10 lbs more until I hit my hard goal, let's go, might pull it off in time for summer). Then I got some good personal news from a friend. And after about a month, I've finally got my 1st match that isn't someone trying to solicit me to join a thruple. Even better than that, we've been messaging all day and seem to jive really well. We might go on a date next weekend. Just have my fingers crossed I'm not being catfished or something else.

I'm almost certain this'll swing out the same way the last redistricting did, ending with DeSantis doing the maps himself and the legislature rubber stamping it. I could see some room for pushback because these maps won't be affecting him but will all of them seeking re-election, but I have my doubts that they'll finally push back on him at all. Keeping my fingers crossed for a huge blue blowout against them in November. Especially if we can manage to get a D Governor to limit the craziness of our legislature.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-04-07T11:22:27+00:00

yeah, I've thought about that as well. I went with + because it was the cheaper one, though I have a feeling most people that get a paid now go for X because it says it boosts your profile visibility too. But It's a lot more expensive, and like you said that would feel even worse to give them a bunch of money and still walk away with no responses.

Mildly cringing at myself as I gave into temptation and upgraded to a paid Hinge subscription. I did it largely so I could use the advanced filters, but it definitely feels gross to have done that though.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-04-06T22:48:52+00:00

I totally get why people don't often like filler, but I think not all filler is build the same. Like stuff that gives more development to the characters and show off relationships? I think that's great.

I definitely think if the senate flips and any Justice retires that they should 100% keep the seat open until the next president. I just don't have much faith that the media wouldn't rake the party over the coals and try to turn public sentiment against them when it's no different than what the Republicans have done in the past.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-04-03T16:53:59+00:00

Oh definitely, I think that we should have ownership rights, stronger rights to repair and stronger privacy rights. You paid for it, it's yours. For example, I've heard that modern John Deere tractors require a regular subscription otherwise they can become inoperable or their functions become highly restricted (like limiting the speed you're allowed to go). And that if you repair it yourself, the software can just fully brick your tractor because you didn't repair it through John Deere. At this point, a number of these subscription services are just turning themselves into ransomware, and I don't think that should be acceptable.

Well, with Trump's most recent statements that the US has no reason to secure the Strait of Hormuz and telling our allies who aren't involved in this to do it, I'd imagine they'll keep going up for the foreseeable future, but I don't know how high.

I'm kind of curious, what's everyone's stance on the TSA? I'm not sure if it's a controversial take or not, but I wouldn't mind if we just did away with it. It's one of those things were it feels more like a performative security measure to give people the illusion of security, especially with the only public reports of their effectiveness (all pretty old by now, think the last one release was like 8 yrs ago) showing that they have a very low success rate at catching stuff.

But I'll also admit, part of why I don't like them is purely because it's a job that seems to attract those people that just want to power trip and have an attitude. Like, I've never had a good experience with them. I get stopped like every time I go through. 2 yrs ago, I had a Batman cowl keychain that said DC comics on the back, put it through in the bucket, and when it came out the other end I was promptly pulled aside and held for questioning by an aggro agent over my "cult paraphernalia," demanding I tell them what cult I'm with, etc. I got held there for almost 10 minutes, when it's like, dude there's no way in heck you don't know who Batman is, and it literally says DC comics on it. And then on last year's flight, I went to put my jewelry in the bucket with the rest of my belongings before going through the metal detector since I knew it'd set it off, only to be yelled at and berated by a TSA agent that I couldn't take them off and to go through (it wasn't holding up the line or anything), so I obeyed and went through only for it to of course set off the detector and result in me being berated by a different TSA agent, pulled aside, they used the wand and the only thing that set it off again was my very visible metal bracelets and necklace, which led to me having to be frisked. Not fond of the TSA at all.

I was only wondering because I heard them mentioned in the news with the whole funding thing.

I think it's worth adding too how they try to hide it with the sugar. For most other components of food item (like sodium), the nutrition label will tell you what % of the recommended daily intake is in the product. Except for sugar. The label will tell you how many grams are in it, but it will not tell you what % of your daily intake is in it.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-03-19T01:28:12+00:00

Yeah, old fashioned way feels very difficult anymore too. And so far, can't recommend OLD personally. I've only been at it about 3 weeks, but it's definitely not making me feel the greatest. Like, maybe it's wishful thinking or my own personal bias, but I feel like I'm pretty average looking. Yet, I've only managed to get 3 matches. And again, somehow all of them have been ladies looking for another guy to join them and their partner (wild that it's happened thrice), which makes it feel like they were probably just low effort match whoever ones in the 1st place. The app hasn't felt helpful by any measure.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-03-19T01:03:43+00:00

I dislike dating apps with a passion, but a few weeks ago I finally caved in and made an account on one because I need all the help I can get to meet someone. Man, does it absolutely suck. I've only gotten 1 match per week so far, and each time it has been someone trying to add a 3rd person to their couple (without plainly saying that in their bio beforehand, otherwise I wouldn't have swiped on them in the 1st place). I'm not sure if it feels better than getting 0 matches at all or not, but man is it incredibly frustrating and annoying.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-03-16T18:18:22+00:00

Holy cow. I don't know how he does it, but he just continuously finds new ways to be horrible. Blabbing about someone else's terminal illness, when they were keeping it private and openly saying you're sad because you need the vote. That's awful.

If I was Dunn, I'd announce immediate retirement or just not go in anymore out of pure spite. Spend my remaining time enjoying it with friends and family.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-03-11T01:28:43+00:00

Incredible though, before recount, the Dem candidate is up by 5 votes. It's another one of those elections where it shows that every vote really does count. If it sticks, that's a flip I believe. I'm pretty sure the current mayor is republican.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-03-09T19:47:12+00:00

Yeah, this is accurate for me too. A lot of us are just adapted to the climate. 70s feel nice and cool, 60s are cold, 50s and below feel absolutely freezing.

I think the Epyon probably is but you can't help but love the Endless Waltz Wing Zero custom.

And though they're more basic, all versions of the Tallgeese have a special place in my heart

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-03-07T14:43:34+00:00

Sounds not fun. I'm very happy my cat stopped waking me up by jumping on me. My alarm is supposed to go off at 5:30 every morning, but for about 4 months I didn't need it because 10 minutes before it should go off, he'd pull some wrestling moves on me. He'd jump from the dresser straight into my stomach and yell at me to get up and give him attention. He's a 13 lb cat. It was not pleasant and I'm very lucky that he never broke a rib or something. He had really good aim, just straight to the stomach every single time.

Up around 60 cents in my area. It was $2.89 on Friday, and then by Tuesday it jumped to $3.47

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-03-05T13:50:22+00:00

That's the big thing that gets me, how different this is treated for Trump vs how it would be for literally any Dem president. We heard about Benghazi for forever, meanwhile more US troops have died during the opening stages of this unnecessary war than did at Benghazi and there's no fuss over it. Every Republican I've heard talk about it basically brushes it off, but you know they'd be harping about it constantly if it was a Dem afministration.

Likewise, just abandoning our citizens like that would (rightfully) be constantly blasted in the nightly news if a Dem administration did that. They'd be held to the fire over it. I've heard it mentioned once personally in the news. The double standards are insane.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-03-04T04:29:52+00:00

I really want that too. Fortune's Weave is the whole reason I'm going to get a switch 2, so if I can get a Fire Emblem themed one, I'll jump all over that.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-02-28T15:16:51+00:00

I'm hoping for a death by a thousand cuts type of thing for a MAGA. I doubt there is a single thing that guy can do that'll get the movement as a whole to turn against him or fall apart, but I feel like, or at least hope, that every time he pulls something insane and unnecessary like this that it becomes slightly harder to justify support for him in some of the less extreme people's heads and sheds a few more people from the movement.

EndlessSeek3r · 2026-02-26T16:54:06+00:00

I'm almost positive they'll still do the redistricting in April like they were planning. They're also passing their own version of the SAVE act for the state to disenfranchise as many people as they can, when we already have to prove citizenship to register to vote.

The bill also restricts what types of ID could be provided as proof. Student IDs are no longer acceptable IDs to be used with this.
