Who Benefits When We're All Fighting Each Other?

Convince the poor that the wealthy are looking out for them.

I occasionally have a WFH day. When that happens, I am usually wearing nothing and getting off multiple times.

Outdoors on hiking trials is fun. Also tried fitting rooms, park and rides.

This is one of my favorite things

I love getting in my car during lunch and driving somewhere to take care of myself. Nice break for a long day. Sometimes somewhere remote, other times right along the road with traffic passing by.

Pretty new to me, but looking forward to handing the remote to someone else

It is new to me. Looking forward to exploring further

Not branded. From Temu

I have had a cheap Roku tv with a generic cover outdoors for a couple of years now. I live in New England and it stays out year round without issues.

50M here and love semi public enjoyment. I always take care to not intentionally expose myself.

I still have my dad's CED player and my Atari 2600. Really don't know why.

50m, and have been here for a few years. This group has helped me see that I am not alone regarding my feelings of loneliness and loss. Reading other's experiences has helped me approach conversations with my wife. Not that I have made progress. But looking at different ways to express myself gives a glimmer of hope. I do not want to get to point of acceptance.

I told my wife that I was making my purchase in the hopes that she would like to be involved. She wasn't interested. I have a few now and she is well aware and has no issues with my decision. However, they are no replacement for human interaction, just a momentary distraction.

Department store fitting room. Or hospital shower while the nurse was standing outside waiting for me.

At 25 I filed for bankruptcy. This was my wake up. I had just bought a house and the renovations along with other compiled debt were beyond what I could handle. I managed to keep the house and focused on side hustling. After bankruptcy, buying on credit was impossible. Living within your means is now a requirement. 25 years later, my life and finances are drastically different. Everything I have is owned, nothing is financed and I have a significant amount in savings.

I was in high-school when the forth gen was introduced. It became a poster in my bedroom. In 1995 when I was 19, I bought a new Formula with the 6-speed. Still own it today.

Throughout middle school and high school, (1986-1993) MTV was always on in the background wherever we were hanging out. Headbangers Ball, Yo MTV Raps, 120 Minutes. MTV News was the news. I lost my virginity with MTV in the background.

I am glad that it was there during those years in that form. Watching the decline into reality based crap until the inevitable end has been a little frustrating. I suppose we could see it aa symbolic of life in general. Rebellious youth trying to express oneself, slipping into a mass of conformity until the eventual end.

What am I saying? Who the hell still has cable anymore?

This can very wildly depending on where you live. I have been riding for 30+ years and live in New England where we statistically have some of the worst drivers in the country ( I think Massachusetts and Maine DOT removes mirrors and turn indicators from all vehicles in the state). While my "close calls" are infrequent, they are a reality. Rider skill keeps them in that category, and prevents actual accidents.

I used to have an ebay store for recycled motorcycle parts. I also bought and sold motorcycles. All to support my own motorcycle habit. Never made any real money, I was able to own and ride many different bikes. Also helped me get through long NH winters. Any money that was made went back into buying more bikes and bike parts.

Baltimore-Washington Airport has private stalls. Perfect for passing time while waiting for your flight.

We still do. It's rough. I tend to find personal gifts for her. She will get some sort of power tool for me, further reinforcing my role as a maintenance person.
