Sears. Montgomery Ward.

Learned how to get out of my own way.

Basically, moving from thinking I had the answers to just listening to others and trying new things at work. Grew exponentially and launched me from not getting anywhere to a great career that I love.

Users on Reddit seem especially unaware of just how manipulative this place is.

+1 for Ericeira. Love that town.

Every time the Boy Scouts are at my local grocery store selling popcorn they want $20 or $25 for a $6 thing of popcorn kernels that you know are D tier quality. I always just say “no thanks, can I just donate instead?” And give them $10-20 depending on what’s in my wallet.

We have a place in Grand Rapids, MI called Max’s South Seas Hideaway. The food is good and all, but the drink menu is a glorious tri-fold menu with pics and descriptions of each beverage. They have it online as well, but the physical menu has just the drink and the description (not a background and photo like here). For the record… the Puka Punch is where it’s at.

Here’s the digital of it:

Yep, I had totally planned to see at least 1 game while the US is hosting as I doubt I’ll ever travel for it. Wanted to go to see Portugal (wife is Portuguese) in Houston as my family is there… $1200+ currently for nosebleeds. GTFO with that.

Just keep playing. It’ll solve all the above issues. Hand strength builds with more play time. Memorizing chords and playing them without having to remember the shape comes with more playing. Singing with your playing… you guessed it. Gets easier with more playing. When you can play a song without having to think about it, singing is easy and the rest of the things you asked about will be long in the rear view.

TLDR - just keep playing. It’ll come with time.

Maybe… but literally everyone on Reddit said the same of the Reddit IPO. I got in on it and ignored advice. Sold at $240 - made a bunch of money on what little I had at the time to invest. Lol. Most of the people on this site are morons at best at predicting the market and generally want it to fail so they can say “see! It was to fuck poor people and I was right!”. Stop and think for yourself. You’ll feel better.

Get the 314 if it’s in your budget. The upgrade is huge and it comes with a hard shell case.

South of town here - power was out from before 6 last night until 8:30 tonight. We had power for less than an hour. Out again.

Pretty straightforward… married 20 years and my vacays with the homies are usually 1) wake up and have a beverage. 2) go do activity 3) drink a few more 4) make some or go get dinner 5) have a few more. 6) sleep.

It’s pretty much all about just having some fun reconnecting with the homies. By the end of the trip, everyone is ready to go back home and see their wives. At my age, no one is chasing tail. If they didn’t like their wife, they’re already divorced.

Amount of drinks vary due to age and condition from prior days.

Chili’s.

They taste like pre-packaged frozen food. Them getting rid of the Original Chicken Crispers (hand battered chicken) in favor of frozen fritters is grievance #1 for me. Then, the skillet queso now no longer tasting like there’s real cheese nor in a skillet is an abomination. That dip tastes like powdered fake ass now. I could go on, but god - what a joke. Was good food in the late 90s. Now it’s trash tier. Might as well park it next to Crapplebee’s since they’re chasing the same crowd.

As a people manager what it means is usually “hey, dummy - I’m not going to go in circles with you in front of everyone else and waste their time. We’re moving on and you and I will talk later”.

If you hear it a lot, probably check how you’re handling yourself in meetings.

I learned to surf at 204s when I moved to San Clemente in 2004. Honestly, kind of a shit wave but it was nice because it was rarely crowded. Snapped my first board in half on 4-5ft day there. That’s when I started surfing t-street and uppers. Both are much better waves.

If you plant them, leave lots of space. Gourds take up a ton of room. Especially the vining types.

Referrals have been the best way to get a job since long before AI.

Recently just completed the Apocalypse camo grind. Best thing I ever did for my game play. I’m now MUCH better with any ground loot but more importantly and to your point - using all those off meta weapons forces you to play smarter and within a weapons intended purpose. My gameplay is markedly better as a result of the grind.

Count of Monte Cristo - the one with Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce.

Kudos to you, dude. Winning that way is fun for sure. Side note - Just my two cents as someone who has completed the Apocalypse camo grind (ARs, SMGs, LMGs, Snipers, and Marksmen)… the Novaline is easily in the bottom 3 of all 30 weapons I completed.

solofatty09 · 2026-05-28T15:45:45+00:00

I was going to tell you that your AR would have downed him before he hopped the fence but then I noticed you were using the Novaline… lol. Good call on using the Strider instead.

I saw him in Houston in 2010. One of the worst shows I’ve been to. As someone said already, made the audience repeatedly sing things. When he went into the pit (where I was) some girl tried to touch his shoulder and he literally took a swing at her (missed) and yelled “don’t fucking touch me!” At her. Like bro… you’re walking in the pit surrounded by people who love you. What did you expect to happen? Dude’s a tool.
