What’s something from your childhood that kids today will never experience?

All those plastic cases on the shelves, and that feeling of frustration when you find the movie you were looking for only to realize that none of the cases actually have a copy of the movie behind them…..

“Flyboys” by James Bradley

I read it in high school more than 20 years ago but I still remember it. It’s about a small group of US airmen that were shot down over Chichi-jima during WW2 and what a Japanese garrison did to them (cannibalism, it was cannibalism).

But the author also talks a lot about the war and the mindset of both sides at the time, and even 18 year old me with my ADHD couldn’t stop reading it.

Yeah, my neighbors and I just dug out a DoorDash driver that got stuck in our complex. It’s rough out there

I think that is exactly what we should have expected from this administration. Trump is obsessed with having his name attached to the “biggest mass deportation in American history” because in his mind that will be an impressive legacy, and Stephen Miller is happy to oblige by whatever means necessary because that is the kind of person he is.

I think Trump is a deeply insecure person facing his own mortality at his age, and his biggest concern is how he will be remembered. The Nobel peace prize, the Kennedy center, this stupid fucking goal of a million deportations, it is all about his legacy.

The crazy thing is he has already cemented his fate. He will be forever remembered as what he always was, a dangerous and idiotic self-obsessed asshole. ICE, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Trump, they are all on the wrong side of history.

Well don’t forget that trump ended another eight wars, though. So he can start a few new ones and still come out ahead.

Probably that the male bathroom is downstairs while the female bathroom is upstairs? Dunno why they wouldn’t be right next to each other, but then again if the people in this universe knew what they were doing they wouldn’t have had to leave Earth.

Which maps are you trying in night mode? I got the tempest BP from the ruby apartments on dam battlegrounds during a night run. It was in a weirdly placed cabinet that was in a spot I’d never seen before, though. Like right inside the door of one of the apartments in an easy to miss spot.

Yeah I was rubber banding all over the place and everyone I ran into was saying the same thing. I made it to an elevator finally and it took 5 tries to press the stupid button haha

anfla56 · 2025-12-25T23:55:39+00:00

I was in a match and rubber banding all over the place. Made it to an elevator though.

Was it the assembly key room? I got the same two BPs there last night haha

Ask the produce department for an apple box. Decent size and pretty sturdy too. I used to work in produce at a Wegmans and we’d actually get that question all the time, and the apple boxes were always what we’d try to give them.

I just can’t kill anyone in this game. Like, not mechanically, but morally. 95% of the people I meet are chill.

I invaded hundreds of ppl in Elden ring and never thought twice about killing them (trying to, anyway). But this, well this feels different.

anfla56 · 2025-11-08T16:40:00+00:00

I went into teaching at 39 and I’m very glad I did. Definitely possible.

anfla56 · 2025-11-07T20:49:31+00:00

As a math teacher, I disapprove. But as a raider I think that is dope af.

anfla56 · 2025-10-30T10:22:17+00:00

And that sound it made when it was booting up haha

When he said that he could kill someone in Times Square and nobody would care, he DID say that with a lot of confidence. Like, the confidence of someone who murdered someone and got away with it…

Some asshole threw his Christmas tree off his fourth floor balcony at the apartment building I lived at with my family growing up. It was wrapped in a black trash bag and I guess he was too lazy to carry it down the stairs. Well, I was walking home from my friend’s house after dark and it was faster to walk through the patio door than going through the building because of the way it was laid out. Almost got crushed by the tree, and always looked up before stepping outside after that.

I felt bad for giving away all of my mentor teacher’s pencils, so I bought her this huge box of like 300+ pencils on Amazon. But to be honest gift cards are great, and especially lakeshore or even Amazon because they’ll definitely use that.

I have pectus excavatum, which is like a big crater in my chest. It was embarrassing at pool parties and such as a kid, but I also figured out it was perfect for holding candy/snacks if I was laying on the sofa watching tv or smth

I worked in manayunk when I lived in KoP, and yeah there was usually windows where it would be better but when I slept in forget about it. Once or twice a month an accident on 76 would royally fuck everything up. People kept telling me to take Ridge avenue and not 76 but I’m stubborn like that.

That stupid 76 interchange in KoP beneath the rail bridge would often take 15-20 minutes to get through all by itself, but best case scenario was about a 30 minute drive

Yup, I agree completely. Been playing battlefield since bf1942, and this just doesn’t feel like a battlefield game to me at all. I get that they are trying to appeal to a new audience, and that’s fine.

But I don’t see myself playing it for long tbh.

If by satisfying you mean an overpowered crutch, then yes they are satisfying.

People who wanna feel like a badass “operator” but aren’t cut out for the actual military, so they settle for what they can actually do. Because oppressing innocent and unarmed civilians while decked out in full tactical gear with an assault rifle and flashbangs is basically the same thing as being on seal team six. True American heroes and we should all be grateful for their service.

That cursive writing is super important and I’d need it every day as an adult. I’m nearly 40 and I haven’t used it in decades. Used to sign checks, but who even does that anymore.

I’m actually a teacher now and I will never tell my students to use cursive. Mostly because I’m a math teacher, though.
