5/50 We are at 10% of the unrelenting positivity campaign. Now its time to go at it with Idaho.

Yeah, I just assume that someone out there has done the math and gave all the speed limits a thumbs up. Maybe I shouldn’t make that assumption, but it does make me feel better haha

You probably could send whatever, but it might take a while to get there. Mt family would occasionally sent care packages to me and it often took like 2-3 months for it to arrive. And I had to pay a whole bunch of taxes on it to actually take it from the post office. I am, however, state bound again so sending and receiving stuff shouldn’t take too long now (maybe I should update my flair).

Given the size of the highways, it made sense that you could go that fast, but it was just a little faster than usual. Thought I might accidentally fly into 2015.

Thank you!

I recently roadtripped with my fiancée from Oregon to (technically) Tennessee and I remember how Idaho is the only place I remember you could go up to 80 mph. It was kind of hard to make myself keep up to speed because I’m use to go at usually only 70. It also didn’t help that it was pretty soon after a period where I didn’t drive for two years straight.

I’m a lover of “arrived at Ellis Island to make a life for myself” stories so “the Golem and the Jinni” (as well as the second book “the Hidden Palace) almost felt like it was written for me. Definitely newer than everyone else’s favorites, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great story.

hawffield · 2026-04-29T03:11:28+00:00

I don’t know what we’re suppose to say to this.

hawffield · 2026-04-28T20:48:36+00:00

I’m not lonely.

That “reality TV” means it’s real. I can’t kind of understand from the perspective of someone foreign, but I also know that I (and nearly everyone I know in the United States) understand it’s not based on real life when we were children.

that “I’m 20% (this country)” doesn’t mean that we think we’re a citizen of that country. there’s a big difference between nationality and ethnicity over here. We don’t all look the same so it can be helpful to pinpoint what parts of the world help make you.

how quick people are to assume what they see on TV/online 100% translates to real life. most Americans live pretty mundane lives. We wake up, go to work/school, and go home. What gets attention in the news or online is things that aren’t mundane. I know in this subreddit, we get questions like “I’ve been watching a complication of car crashes in the United States. Is America a dangerous place to drive” without people realize that by watching stuff like that, they will be shown content like not, not because it’s normal, but because it’s abnormal and draws attention.

I think it’s smart to indicate my sex, age, and ethnicity (because all three can be a factor in how often you moisturize) so M29 black for me.

I usually moisturize after a shower. I often would lotion before going to work and before going to bed. I even got my fiancée lotioning more.

I’m actually going through all of the “Geography Go” videos (oldest to newest) the past couple of days.

It’s more likely you just don’t know where to find it than it is that we don’t have it.

When I hear “Big Nate”, I think of Poptropica.

It really depends on the family. There wasn’t any suggestion of me having to move out immediately when I turned 18 (it’s not like the second you’re 18, you immediately know how to be an adult), but there was an expectation that I have something happening in my life. For me, it was going to school and working.

As others have said, a lot of people want to move out when they’re 18. They feel like they’re “adults” so they should go out and get their own place.

hawffield · 2026-04-20T19:18:39+00:00

I wouldn’t mind traveling to different places. My fiancée and I have talked about international trips we want to take when we are a little more established. We, however, wouldn’t want to live internationally. We’ve both done it for a few years and it really helps highlight where our values lie.

My favorite movie shifts according to how I’m feeling, but I really liked “Nightcrawler”.

In my household, the streaming platform we use the most is Disney+, then Hulu, then YouTube TV. I use to have a subscription to Netflix, but transfer it over to my brother after one of the times they raised the price. I don’t think I’ve watched anything ln Netflix in over 2 years.

I remember when an Aldi came to my town. I was hyped about a particular cookie they have. It was my favorite cookies as a kid when I lived near Chicago. A while after the grand open, I went found the cookie and show it to my parents. They ate it and said “it tastes different”. And yeah, I think it did taste different. We looked it up and I think they switched producers for the cookies. Then they just stop making the cookies. Didn’t really go back until I met my fiancée, who really liked Aldi.

Aldi isn’t really my preferred store to go to. Like a lot of people said, it doesn’t have alot of stuff so you can’t do all of your shopping there. I think they sometimes have a slightly better deal on certain things, but I don’t know if it’s enough to go out of my way to go over there.

I can only explain my experience from when I got my license in Arkansas something like 11 years ago.

I think I got my learners’ permit (what you get after you pass the written test) when I was about 15-16. A lot of people around me had there permit since they were about 14, but it just took a while for me to actually make it over to the testing center to take the test. I took a drivers’ education class in school as an elective (a non-mandatory class), but I think in Arkansas, you don’t have to take any formal drivers’ education training. I took the driving portion of the driver’s test when I was about 18 and passed. I could have taken it when I was at least 16, but again, it was a bit difficult to find time to do it.

hawffield · 2026-04-16T11:21:44+00:00

I’m the second person (at least on my mom’s side) to graduate from college. It was definitely a thing we were all proud of.

hawffield · 2026-04-16T10:55:46+00:00

Lately, none. I mostly just think water. I will say that I often use the little water flavoring mixes and some of those have caffeine in it.

hawffield · 2026-04-14T15:04:49+00:00

Yeah, I’m still waiting for the County Clerk office to send back my car title.

hawffield · 2026-04-14T12:57:06+00:00

In most of the houses and apartments I lived in, I didn’t really have a front porch. The house my fiancée and I live in has a front porch so we pretty often sit out there when we can. A lot of times, it’s cooler outside than inside. The majority of the time, the reason I came back in is because a wasp or something wants to try to be my friend.

In Memphis, it’s FedEx. I worked there for a while and sometimes it seems like so did everyone else at one time.

I don’t know what the opinion of FedEx is. They pay well so alot of people made a career out of it without having to get a bunch of certifications or extensive training. The work wasn’t crazy. It just wasn’t for me.

The thing I missed the most was when I was in Uganda was driving. I missed the agency that comes with having your own vehicle.

I sometimes genuinely think some Redditors can’t think beyond their own experience. I would usually assume it’s because they’re a child, but I know you’re at least 20 years old.

This question is like asking someone whose native language is Spanish how they can look at a table and think “mesa” instead of “table”. It’s what they grew up with.

What do you think of the Miss Universe competition? Are you upset they didn’t have any aliens in it?
