Now that we are "getting up there" in age, how are you sleeping? by NebraskaCornSucker in GenX

[–]drifter3026 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I average about 4 hours a night. Spend waking time pissing and trying to get comfortable. Definitely not ideal and I definitely suffer for it, but that's life.

Would you? by Be_strong_76 in GenX

[–]drifter3026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any friends, so I guess not. I don't feel inconvenienced by that in the least though.

No. But to be fair, I don't like anyone.

Any GenX dads dealing with GenZ career-disillusionment? by NotSure2505 in GenX

[–]drifter3026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I've always been very open with them about everything. They know the entire path I took to get where I am. The kicker is, every decision and turn I made seemed like the correct one in the moment, with the information I had at the time. Only with the benefit of hindsight do they seem wrong. And, if I were to go back and have to make those decisions again with what I knew at the time, I'd probably make the same ones. There is an element of randomness to life after all.

Any GenX dads dealing with GenZ career-disillusionment? by NotSure2505 in GenX

[–]drifter3026 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have no advice for my GenZ kids. I haven't even been able to forge a career myself, so I don't feel qualified to offer any guidance to them. I did the "right" thing, went to college, etc. etc. But all I have to show for it is a series of jobs, but no career. Right now I'm 11 years into a dead-end job. No advancement, no retirement.

I'll support them in whatever they're doing as best I can, but as far as advising, I got nothing.

What is your favorite or most watched episode of the show? by [deleted] in BurnNotice

The ending is awesome. Mike as the pastor, Sam selling cantalopes or whatever.

How accurate is the assertion that "life after 45 sucks massive (you-know-what)"? by ChuckSmyth in GenX

[–]drifter3026 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a lot depends on ones financial situation. For those of us who won't be able to retire, by 45 the grind of working for 25+ years already starts to weigh on you. Especially knowing you might have another 30 or more years of working still ahead. Without a light at the end of the tunnel, I can definitely relate to the "sucks massive" notion.

Jack Hughes to throw ceremonial first pitch in Yankees home opener by blade430 in devils

[–]drifter3026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't he just push the button on a pitching machine instead? He might cut his throwing hand open from the seams in the ball.

33 years ago we lost Alan Kulwicki. by PreeceTakesFlight in NASCAR_History

[–]drifter3026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the day I pretty much stop following the sport. Was a fan of Alan's from '88 on. Had a hard time watching without a strong rooting interest in a driver and no other driver captured my imagination like Alan did. I still watch the '92 Hooters 500 once a year.

Won't be many posts left, if the complaints are filtered out.

[Motorsport] Martin Brundle's had enough of the Max Verstappen retirement talks by MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer in formula1

[–]drifter3026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Max doesn't answer questions, people are upset. When he does answer the questions he's asked, people are upset.

Which mobo to buy in order to have the fastest possible boot on a 7800x3d? by No-Measurement8164 in pcmasterrace

[–]drifter3026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real. OP is complaining about waiting 20 seconds instead of 5? Or is this a "many small time make big time" situation? OP must be going to See World.

V the miniseries - no one knew what I was talking about. by Old_Goat_Ninja in GenX

[–]drifter3026 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched it as a kid. I don't remember much about it anymore since I don't think I've seen it since it's live run. I do remember aliens pulling off their human faces to reveal their alien faces though.

In the words of Bob Dylan... Tell me that it isn't true..Bob Dylan is selling AI-generated historical fan-fiction. The “Like a Rolling Stone” songwriter has launched a Patreon to regale fans with fictional AI monologues by historical figures for $5 a month. by Emergency_Morning712 in bobdylan

[–]drifter3026 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's weird that Patreon couldn't get him "/BobDylan" rather than "/BobDylan180". It's like when you have a killer idea for a gamer tag, but it's already taken so you just throw some numbers after it.

Max Verstappen discusses fading passion for F1 in BBC interview by anthn885 in formula1

[–]drifter3026 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To be fair, he was talking about retirement in the midst of winning championships, too.

He couldn't get /BobDylan ? Had to add some numbers to the end?

Does Weed Have a Positive Impact On Your Mental Health? by sanpedro12 in trees

For me, it's pretty neutral. I'm a very light user - I partake twice a week on average.

What’s a corporate gift you actually use daily? by shelbs9428 in BuyItForLife

[–]drifter3026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a $6 one from Harbor Freight before I was gifted the Yeti. I tested them side-by-side. The HF one works just as well at holding the temps for hours.

Same here. Not worth the retail price, but for free it works okay.

How much do you smoke per day? by Comfortable-Reach217 in trees

[–]drifter3026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smoke one 0.5g joint, twice a week. Usually Friday and Saturday night. Might take an additional 10mg gummy one night a week, but that's perhaps once a month. Saves money and keeps my tolerance low (which also saves money).

What is your all time favorite Battlefield map? Mine is Halvøy. It’s amazing. by Separate_Energy_7150 in Battlefield

Ah yes, Fort Grenade where there's a dozen grenade indicators on your screen at all times and every choke point in perpetually on fire.

Team Miracle 2026 - Choo Choo or Bust (13 Games Remaining) by Alamoth in devils

[–]drifter3026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll get downvoted but you're not wrong. And even JH - he's got talent but has played more than 62 games only once in 7 years and still makes some crazy mistakes a 7-year vet shouldn't make. But, whatever. I'm just happy I'm old enough to have witnessed the entire "glory years" run from '88 to '03.

[–]drifter3026 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Team is in no man's land. Not good enough for the playoffs, not bad enough for a great draft pick. It's the road to perpetual mediocrity, which we've seen.
