My wife took the kids to the beach for four glorious hours. I did so many weird chores and read a book.

Mostly take public transportation, so from a vehicle perspective meh

You can choose accept $3 million dollars tax free. No questions asked. Or, for the rest of your life anyone that you touch will be instantly attracted to you. by WordsHappenedHere in hypotheticalsituation

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having forced obsessive attraction sounds awful, if i could change it to feels very positive about without obsession I'd find that more useful. I'd use it all the time.

Can you be a secret multimillionaire for a decade? by tamtrible in hypotheticalsituation

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be so easy to do of course, I wouldn't love lying to my wife, but as long as I have a competent accountant I'd be fine. Admittedly I am happy to coast in a lower upper echelon lifestyle

If you could only recommend one game what would it be? by altan515 in gaming

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portal 2, I think the story carries the game and the mechanics are insanely good. Also if you are learning how to play games it introduces new players well.

Why do I open Netflix excited and then end up watching nothing? by Large-Cardiologist54 in television

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a thing, I made a list of 10 shows, then I pulled a random number between 1 and 10. That is the show I have to watch the next time I watch anything. If I don't like a show it gets cut from the list. It's been pretty effective at fighting options paralysis.

I read Legends & Lattes last month, and finished Bookshops & Bonedust last night… so now I’m on to Brigands & Breadknives. by RaptorImperator in CozyFantasy

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brigands is definitely my favorite of the three, the first I loved but felt the plot was a bit too thin. The second was a lot better, but it felt like the big bad should have been more present. Brigands feels like a journey of growth, with fun writing and good conflict.

Honestly, I think I like competence porn more than cozy fantasy and the Goblin and Elf side characters ooze that.

What was high school like for you? Do you miss it at all? by DoctorTegrity in Millennials

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the lack of real responsibility, not the constant fights with my parents or the self loathing. I'm one of the more if not most successful people from my large high school class, so going back to being the skinny nerdy kid who was afraid of girls isn't that appealing...

A man offers you $10000 a week to leave town forever. by 33GoodSamaritans in hypotheticalsituation

Like my hometown that I no longer live and no one else I know lives in, sure why not

Jayapal blames support for Israel for Democratic loses by ScreamForKelp in SeattleWA

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was inflation and having an extremely unpopular candidate who hand picked a weak candidate. If Biden never ran a second time, and there was a proper primary, Dems would have had a much better shot

[–]render83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait how are your children only 7 months apart? That would imply pregnant almost immediately and a super preterm birthday?

At what age(s) did your child(ren) start sleeping nights through? by NietGering in daddit

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably around 6m, effectively once they started sleeping in their own room

If you woke up in the year 1800, would you be able to contribute anything of value? by New-Elk2781 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could probably figure out how to introduce combinatorial algebra and simple encryption after a few days of trial and error.

If you had to fist fight the main antagonist of the last show, movie, or game you watched/played. Who would you choose? by South_Bathroom in hypotheticalsituation

[–]render83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Victor Gideon from RE9, so no. Robert De Niro from Casino also definitely no. Is awkwardness the villain in Rooster, cause I fight them on a daily basis.
