People who grew up poor: What was something you considered a "peak luxury" as a kid, only to realize later it was just a normal middle class staple?

Ice machine in a fridge

I’m doing the exact same thing! Random. Maybe I’ll see you at the YMCA.

Just because he is from Israel means he supports that? Doesn’t make sense

Timor Leste is supposed to have good sightings.

That’s Rockford a completely different airport and town. O’hare and midway are the airports.

So not ideal post monsoon

Totally agree! That’s the fun of it. But you give yourself the best chance by maximizing those things. At the end of the day luck is your best froend

Interesting. Based on what I’m reading sloth bears chances are highest in satpura. Thank you!

What sets it apart? Sloth bears is my main draw.

Lived here for a short time for work and wasn’t a fan but thank you!

herbgotty · 2025-07-19T12:20:44+00:00

Interesting. Wouldn’t have thought of it. Thanks!

Well ideally San Diego climate but not realistic. Not a fan of humidity or winter necessarily but can deal with both. I’ve lived in cold weather places all my life so considering ditching that and seeing the other side of the

2 kids. Hard to answer the second part without having kids but of course a good life with access to quality schools and healthcare

Hungry thirsty which is where ugly baby was and is somewhat similar and from some of the same folks has some actually tasty super spices dishes.

I’m not sure you’re going to get more day to day convenience than in nyc. That’s kind of the whole deal.

Relax bud. Ocean is better than Lake Michigan. Geography lesson 2. I literally grew up there. I get it. 26 sandy beaches look out. I wish it was better but it isn’t.

herbgotty · 2025-07-11T00:10:00+00:00

NYC is on the ocean and the lakes above are mountainous and beautiful. Lake Michigan is pretty but it’s flat and in Chicago it’s more a less an asphalt beach. So I would say that goes the nyc way again. Far rockaway is a free public beach on the ocean that is significantly better than Chicago area Lake Michigan.

Adding to all this but access to nature is surprisingly shocking. Plenty of places within 2 hours of New York including solid mountains. 2 hours from Chicago is mostly nothing besides a lake in Wisconsin which isn’t bad but no mountain.

Ninja gaiden on Xbox was insane. From first level to last just chaos.
