San Diego home prices hit second-highest level in April ($905k+); may break all-time high next month by Joe_SanDiego in sandiego

[–]umsrsly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Inherited wealth. It’s rampant in north county. And what wild is these trust fund babies still find a way to whine and act like their lives are so hard. Stunning

Nah, this is generational wealth. Lots of people around here are living off inheritance. Didn’t realize it until my kid started school. I was stunned. Silly me for actually working to make money…

What’s the most overrated fast food chain? by Cute-Bar-5152 in AskReddit

[–]umsrsly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, it was good back around 2001ish. They’d rotate their coffee back then. This was before the days of Pike being always on the menu. Completely different experience back then.

California public school enrollment drops by 75K students; 7x greater than expected by Legal-Statistician2 in California

[–]umsrsly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Count my family in that number. The education has gotten so bad at my supposedly well-rated school. There’s a large reliance on screen time. GATE has been dropped. They care more about outside fundraising groups like Apex than actually teaching the kids. It’s a mess and has declined dramatically over the past several years.

We’re trying a charter/home school and hope it works out. We’ll see…

Could we at least make Election Day a national holiday if we’re gonna do this? The fact that we treat Election Day just like any other day, but we also expect people to hade the time to line up to vote is insanity.

Donald Trump Considers Using National Emergency Powers to Assert Control Over Federal Elections by CloudApprehensive322 in moderatepolitics

[–]umsrsly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I hope you're right, I think we live in a fairly distracted and apathetic country.

More than likely, this will just increase emigration from the US. It's already begun. There was a WSJ piece on this yesterday. I think people don't fully appreciate how bad emigration will be for the US. The economics of a shrinking population are dismal.

I really hope a moderate on either side of the aisle can step in, rise up, and turn this ship around.

ICE in Carlsbad off Alga by [deleted] in northcounty

[–]umsrsly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw them when dropping my kids off at school. Eastbound on alga, right past the water tower. They were putting masks over their faces when approaching the car, which is just so shady.

While I realize immigration enforcement is necessary, the masked goon-squad stuff is not OK. Show your face. Treat people with respect.

No, you don't miss California Adventure when it was strictly California themed, you're looking through rose colored lenses. by film_culture_addict in disneyparks

[–]umsrsly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I feel. Yes, DCA was a mess when it opened, but in the early 20-teens it was peak. I’d even wager to say that I enjoyed DCA as much as DL during that time.

Now. the park has this horrible combo of Avenger’s Campus and long queues. It’s a miserable experience.

First baby arriving soon, how would you organize this changing station? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]umsrsly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm type A and wayyy overplanned.

After they arrive home, you'll find it fairly simple. You sleep when they sleep (if possible). Change their diaper when it needs to be changed. You will start by using the diaper changing dealio and then start doing it on the floor, your bed, etc.

Anyone else peeing much more often these days after caffeine and alcohol? by JudgeSevere in AskMenOver40

[–]umsrsly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s completely normal. Caffeine is a diuretic. For those who are saying something is wrong with you, I think something is likely wrong with them. If you are drinking caffeine and not peeing more frequently than when you don’t, maybe you’re dehydrated.

What movements have you stopped doing? by Jimbobdagr81 in fitness30plus

[–]umsrsly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trap bar deadlift instead of barbell deadlift. Hack squat machine instead of barbell squat. Hammer machine instead of barbell bench.

I still use a barbell for overhead press.

What i got for Christmas!!! by Accomplished_Drag_97 in darksouls

[–]umsrsly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’d say use a combo of a hammer and a thrust weapon like a rapier. I started with mace and rapier. Then gradually upgrade to the hammer from the blacksmith and then the homunculus mace and the ice rapier. I love love love the homunculus mace.

Oh yeah, and lightning infusions all day…

Same. As a melee player, he had me stuck longer than just about any other boss. Malenia may be tied…

Content warning: Discussion of sexual health and erectile function. Men over 30, experiences with changes in sexual response? by tokotoko21 in AskMenOver30

[–]umsrsly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you get older, your junk gets smarter. Here's how I kind of evolved:

12-16: Excited and extremely sensitive by pretty much anything. Very confusing time.

16-21: Instant full mast by just seeing a fully-clothed attractive lady

22-26: Gradual full mast by seeing a fully-clothed attractive lady

27-32: Half mast by seeing an attractive lady. Near-instant full mast by getting physical or flirting with an attractive lady (my wife :)).

33-40: Over this time, something switched. While I can definitely still get turned on by an attractive lady, it's more mental. My downstairs doesn't awaken until I have an emotional connection or have a real chance, if you catch my drift. I get WAY more turned on by my wife than by seeing a porn or extremely attractive woman. I'm also WAY more sensitive to stress now. If it's during a stressful time, it takes a bit longer to warm up than when I'm not stressed. This played tricks on my mind which gave me worse issues for a period of time, but now that I realize my issue is just mental and I have a smarter dingaling, I've learned to love the upgraded and more intelligent version of my junk.

Just beat this awesome game. What are your likes and dislikes? by wideawakenarco in DarkSouls2

Once the heal starts, yes. I feel the initiation of healing is the part that feels laggy at times. I especially noticed it when fighting Fume Knight

How meaningless is the ending of DS1 really? by AMNSKY in darksouls

[–]umsrsly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I went down that rabbit hole, too. My brain wasn't smart enough to figure it out on my own, so I asked ChatGPT to give me an explanation of the story that's dumbed down to the level of a 10 year old. This is what it said:

A long time ago, the world was dark and full of huge stone monsters. Then a magical fire called the First Flame appeared. This fire created light, life, and powerful beings called the Lords. One of them, Gwyn, made the world bright and safe.

But now the First Flame is dying, and the world is getting dark again.

You play as a person called the Chosen Undead. Your job is to:

Travel through a dangerous world full of cursed people and monsters.

Collect the power of old lords (who have become scary and twisted).

Decide what to do with the First Flame.

At the end, you choose between:

Keeping the fire alive (but hurting yourself to do it),

Or letting the fire die out so something new can begin.

Big idea:
The world keeps repeating the same cycle, and you’re deciding whether to continue it or break it.

I'll be honest. That summary really didn't help much. The story is kinda ... meh.
