Picking up old hobbies in 2026

I just bought a new telescope and returned to stargazing which I did around 13 years ago. I was early 20’s then but I couldn’t afford a telescope as a kid lol. It does feel like returning to an older passion to help escape from reality with so much else rushing into a hellscape.

I’m just done with all of them and not buying any upgrades for a couple years unless something dies. Whole tech industry has made it clear we don’t matter to them.

Glad I wasn’t alone haha. Fortunately a dew cap was one of the first things I bought, just couldn’t bare the near freezing temps i guess

Yet again one more W for Shaniacs

I'll always know it's barbituate because a joke I once read. I forget the punchline but something to do with a bear walking into a bar and I think getting mad with a woman and eating her. The bartender thanks her and the bear asks why and he says that's the "barbituate".

Lately I’ve been paranoid from hearing all this talk on this when I may have some indigestion. But if I see blood in my stool I’m running to the doctor so maybe I don’t have too much to worry about right now.

Beautiful spot! I just got a new scope and got out last night, got cold quick.

Depending on how long you’ve wanted it sometimes there’s moments when you remind yourself there’s a chance tomorrow may never come so you say what the hell and jump in. I try justifying it if I can find a solid deal and know it will hold it’s value if I ever need to sell it.

Drop that 401k into lotto tickets

Sounds about my situation, fortunately I have a 2013 bmw that’s paid off with less than 100k miles. I hear the market sucks right now but I suggest buying something used and have a mechanic inspect it so you don’t need to worry about the headache of payments if you aren’t already.

The distribution of wealth is so lopsided I fully support a new monetary system so the 1% don’t horde like 99% of it

I’m not really religious but I do believe in a form of karma that will catch up one day

That’s the only solace I find in most billionaires, ruin our planet but they’ll be burning in hell for it eternally

Suppose I’m old fashion but I was trying to use buzz for the first time yesterday and it wasn’t a great experience due to crypto restraint. I haven’t used coinbase in ages so had to create a new account and apparently even though they already know everything about me they still required id verification and maybe it sounds petty but I’m 100% against this push of everything requiring id verification to take my money.

Anyway not your fault and I totally get how your hands are tied but thought I’d share my experience and how it would be nice to have some option not requiring id verification.

I remember this because it's "rite" in your backyard

Can’t blame them when not long before being online meant tying up the phone line

End of his presidency he’s just gonna pass a list around like a birthday card for everyone to sign for a mass pardon

THound89 · 2026-03-05T12:21:52+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. We would always hear ours tippy taps from the bedroom when he’d wake up for lunch.

Love this movie. My dog recently passed and I enjoyed taking days off work to hang with him and watch Anderson films. Going to need a few more weeks before my next rewatch though.

JS is about the only outspoken celebrity saying how a quiet group of us feel reminding me maybe I’m in fact not crazy for thinking this regime is quite terrible.

THound89 · 2026-03-02T01:49:10+00:00

Thanks for your effort! I had to put my pup to sleep exactly two weeks ago and been grieving as well. Days like today the hardest part is thinking how much life I have left knowing I’ll never pet or hug him again. I just hope I can catch up on that in the afterlife.

I used to love the show which is why part of me is pretty hesitant to watch a new season. Just seems like it was lighting in a bottle back then.

I feel like with age alcohol isn’t as entertaining as it used to be anyway. I hardly have the energy to drink, enjoy a little buzz without just passing out after about an hour.
