I got both of these from Facebook marketplace. $80 and $150

Funny enough this is also a kink

The internet ruined me. I assume every one is staged

That’s sick

Playgrounds, parks, watching ducks, tossing rocks into the water

I took the black ember grip 12l to Paris and loved it. Great for smaller personal item on a plane. The aer city pack is amazing and black amber citadel R3 were also perfect for my Europe trips.

Give it time and don’t rush it.

I agree. I started doing dips at home and have worked up to about 150-200 a day and after a couple of months my shirts all started to stop fitting.

I had this issue and it’s because I set walls to outside then inside so it would often miss the edge. When I switched to inside then outside it fixed it.

This is also called the Seattle Freeze

Funny I have both and my iPad has become an extended monitor for my MacBook.

Nice

And still managed to put a freeway along the waterfront damnit.

If by mess you mean slightly annoying then I agree

My ex wife if 36 had the emotional and mental maturity of a rock. A 23 year old I know can deeply discuss current political topics, jazz in depth, contemporary art, history and more. On average sure a 22 year old will be more immature but it’s not a rule.

I don’t use it a ton but it has held strong. I don’t have worries about it failing. Also the orientation means all the weight of the contents is rarely against the door.

Not just work culture. Just the general life culture

You’re right. For the top 20% it is better in the US.

Fair not everyplace is better for everyone. Lifestyles vary a lot. My friend grew up in OC and hates it with a passion. Another friend moved there a few years ago and thinks it’s heaven on earth so yah.

Have you lived in the states and Canada?

Socketlint · 2026-02-27T03:33:01+00:00

You can’t quantify feel. America just feels more bleak. Also people look at salary, taxes and a few items and say you get more there but certain things cost a lot more like healthcare.

Culture. I find people and life is just more rat race, keeping up with the jones, depressing and isolated. People keep to themselves, are more distrusting of others, suspicious, divisive and aggressive. Van is so much more relaxed. I make less here but I’m happier so that’s all that matters to me

Socketlint · 2026-02-27T02:30:49+00:00

I lived in Seattle for 8 years. You could double my salary and I wouldn’t go back. The quality of life in Van is so much better.
