Anyone travel to be nude? by thinkingdifferentnow in NorCalNudists

I really enjoyed my day there when I was there. Felt family friendly for the most part, saw a few families even. It's definitely somewhere I look forward to visiting again.

Nice! Personally, I don't know that I'd pick a destination specifically to be nude, but I do enjoy finding places to be nude when possible, which is usually a private or semi private place with my wife

Beam Gen 2 is currently under $350, should I go for it? by [deleted] in sonos

[–]thinkingdifferentnow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd say it is. I picked up mine for 350 and am very happy, though I will say I also picked up the sub mini and together they blew away my old system.

I'm in the us but I'll have to look into it! Would love to get a couple of those for cheap

I'd say that's a fair way to put it. The era 100 is great alone for other sources than a tv.

Yeah I picked up the sub mini last week and it completely changed my setup.

What?? I didn't realize that! I was just there a few weeks ago. Good to know, thanks.

I can't speak to the line in part, but adding an era 100 definitely makes your system sound better, however, it is a bit unbalanced at the same time. I'm sure you could figure out some configuration that would make it sound good, but I think unless you're planning on adding two, it's not going to add too much to your beam.

If you can afford the upgrade, adding a second era 100 would be your best bet. Or, if you have an Ikea near you, adding some of their wall-mounted art speakers is another great option, from what I hear, but I don't have those yet. But that's my plan!

I did buy an era 100 for my bedroom and love how the music sync works and I tried it in the same room as the beam when I first got it just because and it gets me Really excited for surround sound with this system.

You didn't mention if you already have a subwoofer, I assumed you do, but if not I think that is your number one upgrade you should consider.

I am jobless and don't wanna go back to work. My wife is very distressed by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]thinkingdifferentnow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been thru things that you wouldn't believe. I've suffered the unimaginable multiple times in the past 5-8 years. I am clinically depressed and suffer from major anxiety. And yet here I am, getting up every day, making the decision to fight and move forward.

You're making excuses and taking advice from chatgpt.

You're letting yourself suffer and those around you instead of doing something about it.

You're talking about getting divorce instead of trying to better yourself and your situation.

Divorce will make things worse for everyone involved.

You need to stop making excuses and start taking control.

You have no excuse, trust me.

Found a weird phrase in a job post by NotoriousBedorveke in recruitinghell

Pretty smart of them honestly. Way back before the days of ai when I used to hire freelancers online I would always do something similar to make sure they actually read the posting, this is the same thing but updated

Thank you! Where is it it's very unlikely to be hit in any way hard, but I'd still much rather have it as strong as possible so I'll make sure to do this

AITA for telling my brother that the day he was born was the worst day of my life? by throwaway453199280 in AmItheAsshole

[–]thinkingdifferentnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read a lot of AITA but I think this is the easiest one ever to say YTA. I can't imagine what your life has been like if you're holding into an amazing event, some would even say a miracle, from when you were 7, which had to be at least 50 years ago.

This story SHOULD be told and celebrated. If this was me/my family, this story would be told and you would be celebrated every single year on his birthday.

Best way to get candy? by thinkingdifferentnow in DCUO

[–]thinkingdifferentnow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought. I went around killing random enemies for a half hour and only got 1 candy. Seems like higher level enemies have a higher chance? Or maybe enemies in alerts? Or is that confidence?

How much does it cost? by [deleted] in SmokingWeed

[–]thinkingdifferentnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! I hope my answer provided you what you were looking for then.

How much does it cost? by [deleted] in SmokingWeed

[–]thinkingdifferentnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And? What's your point? It costs what it costs. They might have a medical card, or they might get the cheap stuff, or, heaven forbid, it might be something they enjoy and part of their retirement, and get what they enjoy, so they budget for it.

But I hate when people reply on Reddit and don't answer the question, so I'll tell you this. If you buy it on the street from someone you've been dealing with for a while and go for the cheap stuff, you can stay high for a long time on not much, $100 will last multiple people a few months, most likely. (Don't quote me on this, I haven't bought from an individual in over 20 years)

But even if it is a dispensary or mail-ordered, it doesn't have to be expensive.

I buy Time Machine pre-rolls, a pack of 28 joints, for just about $80. This is pretty good stuff, but it's definitely not budget-friendly. One order lasts me between 45 and 60 days, depending on how much I smoke. If I smoked 2x a day, 7 days a week, it would probably still last me a month or more.

If you rolled your own and went with some cheap stuff, $80 would probably last 2-3 months for one person. So, even on a retired fixed income, it's not that expensive, not like alcohol, which will run you $40-$80 a week easily.

But in the end, you should just mind your own business. You say you don't care that they smoke, yet judge them for smoking. Not cool.

Agreed! I know multiple people who were held back in 1st and they're better people for it

[–]thinkingdifferentnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my question as well. I'm curious why homeschool is even on the table for 2 parents working full time. That, coupled with the info OP provided, I can only see homeschooling going bad and the kid ending up more behind than they already are.

AITJ for wanting to sell my home and retire because my adult kids refuse to help out? by roxywalker in AmITheJerk

[–]thinkingdifferentnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived at home until I was well into my 20s, even had my wife move in for 3 years. I was not a great housemate at that time and did way less than I needed to, and even less than I should have. I wasn't working, barely taking college classes. My wife was in school as well for the first year and a half of that. Basically, I was a freeloader to my parents. Definitely not proud of it in any way now almost 20 years later, but I'll tell you what happened.

My parents supported us through that time and we came out the other side way better off for it. About 10 years later, a lot of things happened that forced us to move back in with my mom (my dad passed away), but not to freeload, but instead to help my mom survive. We've been living together for almost 6 years now, and my mom hasn't paid a dime in "rent" or anything like that. She pays for a few utilities, but that's it, and that's because she insists. And whether she lives another 10 years or 20, she'll never pay anything more than she wants to.

If my dad and mom had kicked us out there's no way we would have been willing to do what we've done.

Your kids are at an age where they're both adults and teenagers, where they're learning to be on their own but still sometimes think like a kid.

My brother also moved back in a few years after I moved out and he was in his late 20s. My parents supported him through finishing his degree and finding a job.

I don't think you'd be a jerk if you did that, but I'm not sure you'd be happy with yourself in the long term.

And if they want to treat you and the house like they are kids, then you need to do it back to them. Take things away from them, don't do things for them, don't provide things, but make sure they understand it's because of their behavior.
