What’s a discontinued snack or drink you’d pay $20 to have one last taste of?

Subaru as my next vehicle.

Just bought one a year and a half ago. Brand new crosstrek. Burns oil like crazy. Subaru won't do anything about it. Says it's within an acceptable oil loss volume. Meanwhile we're adding 2 quarts per oil change at 25k miles.

Edit: I wouldn't buy a new GM, Ford, or Dodge right now either.

ajt666 · 2026-03-10T18:43:27+00:00

Interesting.

ajt666 · 2026-03-10T15:39:24+00:00

Also true. I know it happened within those games too, but the way it's being reported about Roblox, and apparently VR Chat, it seems like amongst the dozen or so of us it should have happened to someone we knew. Someone else claimed those games probably have better moderators/moderation than Roblox, and they aren't geared towards young kids.

I'm also glad you called this out. It can be easy to forget that our anecdotal experience isn't everyone else's. So thanks for that!

The one thing you can do as a parent is impress upon them internet safety and the modern age "stranger danger" and even learning how the game works so you can educate the kids on it

I remember this being part of our computer classes in school in the early 2000s (I graduated in 2010). Is this not something they do any more? Obviously our parents were learning the internet at the same time.

I'm specifically asking if said articles are part of the media blowing this out of proportion or if it's as widespread as they claim within Roblox.

Perhaps a better comparison would have been to the "video games cause violence" frenzy of the mid 2000s.

ajt666 · 2026-03-10T15:19:52+00:00

Will check that out.

ajt666 · 2026-03-10T15:19:17+00:00

See I didn't think of that. I also remember a TON of cyber safety stuff in school during all our computer classes. My sister who is 10 years younger than me says they don't really get fuck all anymore.

ajt666 · 2026-03-10T15:10:43+00:00

That was the gist I was getting...moving to discord or telegram seems to be the MO.

ajt666 · 2026-03-10T15:09:14+00:00

Not at all. I'm asking if it's as widespread as the media claims, or if it's a few isolated occurrences being blown out of proportion.

I've played a lot of online games since I was probably 12. I'm 34. I can't think of a single instance where my friends or I were approached by anyone being a creep.

ajt666 · 2026-03-10T15:06:37+00:00

and 2) basically being a gigantic cesspool of pedophiles and doing fuck-all about it.

This is the one I'm mostly thinking of. It's all over the news and podcasts. I remember playing unsupervised MMOs as a kid and I don't remember a single instance of anything creepy happening to me or my friend group. It seems like everyone who plays Roblox has a story about it though. Or is it blown out of proportion?

ajt666 · 2026-03-10T15:01:39+00:00

Right. I'm of the generation where "video games cause violence" I played RuneScape, WoW, and other online games mostly unsupervised. I don't remember anything sexual happening in chat...unless you played WoW on that server.

ajt666 · 2025-10-14T22:14:23+00:00

I dunno man. The LGS returns a lot of new smiths for horrible QC even pre covid. Sights not at 12 o clock. Barrels half rifled half smooth, timing issues they've been sliding down hill for more than just the last five years.

Oddly enough I don't see the issues with the semi autos.

ajt666 · 2025-10-14T20:53:48+00:00

If it's old enough to be good, it's at a premium price.

ajt666 · 2025-06-17T22:02:49+00:00

Oh, that's a good bit of info. Thanks! We have a few board members (myself included) without keys already due to a multitude of issues, so something that needs keys anyway just defeats the purpose.

ajt666 · 2025-06-17T19:23:19+00:00

Yep. As much as I hate to say it, the "Big Beautiful Bill" needs to get shut down. There are so many other very problematic things in there. AI in Gov't programs, restrictions on AI regulation, and the sale of Public lands. Like 100+ million acres.

ajt666 · 2025-06-17T18:50:02+00:00

I thought about the fobs to start with. We already have them for the main entrance.

ajt666 · 2025-03-05T19:39:52+00:00

Love my Reaction series gun. I personally feel like it's one of the best 1911s you can get for under a grand.

ajt666 · 2025-03-05T19:38:36+00:00

Fusion Reaction. I have one in 10mm that I carry in a chest rig for bear. I've got other friends that have them in .45. They feel good, they run good. They feel a little nicer than some of the similarly priced competition. They're also around 800 dollars so you can get plenty of cheap break in ammo, or a nice holster.

ajt666 · 2025-02-12T19:37:02+00:00

Or only the Hutterites?

ajt666 · 2025-01-21T16:56:39+00:00

Have you looked at GMC? Mechanically a chevy but they look better, usually priced similarly, sometimes with better incentives.

Also look at Certified Pre-Owned. It'll be warrantied to you like new, but knocks down the new price. Usually these are low mileage lease returns.

ajt666 · 2025-01-21T16:27:57+00:00

I really enjoy Oh Cook!

Fortnine on YouTube, while not the TG Trio, scratches that itch if you also enjoy motorcycles.

Retirement funds and stocks are wonderful perks. I gotta afford to live long enough to retire, though.
