I generally don't like card games, but the betrayal games are some of my favorite. If they don't take a lot of space, that could be a great travel game.

When I worked at a computer store (basically the store from viva l dirt league) a lady came in and kept trying to order a jizz of RAM. We had a great time getting her to say it repeatedly.

Lifting weights, scuba diving, martial arts, 3d printing, mini painting, fingerdrums, building and flying drones, planning for various trips, make presentations and present them at conferences, play videogames and TTRPG (or DM them), go on random adventures and make things.

Lol I used to work for a company that has been bought and renamed several times and now is under the WebMD umbrella. They were trying that "remote work is bad" be a decade ago, and it's funny that now they are part of a larger company that still isn't with the times.

It comes up a lot more in professional settings than it used to. I would actually give this one to GenX and appreciate it when used correctly.

I drive a 2018 Mercedes GLA, and that thing is a tank compared to other vehicles I've owned. Last year I was involved in an accident with a semi, a convertable SLK, and an older Toyota land cruiser (I think).

I was the first one hit, but was able to immediately regain control (because AWD) and only had about 5k worth of damage (wheel, front quarter panel, side view mirror, headlight, and a couple other dents).

The Toyota that hit me (to avoid the semi) lost control, hit the semi anyway, then barely the SLK, (which lost control and hit the divider), then spun around and almost hit the divider too.

Those other two cars were totaled.

Granted the SLK was also Mercedes, but convertable and not AWD. Potential skill difference from the Toyota side since it was a younger driver.

Either way, all my previous cars would have likely been totaled. Drove a 2007 Ford focus with crank windows up until I got this car a couple years ago and it would for sure have gone flying.

Maybe the main takeaway is spring for AWD before the other bells and whistles.

Safety equipment, especially SCUBA. Also clothes, shoes, your bed, and your computer chair.

If you drive a lot, a "low-end" luxury model that isn't fully equipped will likely drive better, be more comfortable, and every feature it does have will be at least a little bit nicer than the equivalent in the "normal" brand.

You might even get a lower sale price on a used luxury car vs buying a new Toyota or something these days.

Maintenance will definitely cost more, but the experience of having that work done is a whole lot better than how it used to be on all the shitty cars I've had.

Not everyone will agree with this one, but I pay more for better seats on planes too, and tend to fly only with Delta for status. That's because I have extra blood clot risk and need the wiggle room, and because I have beef with most of the other companies due to many years of experience.

My travel curse has largely been managed after getting all the stuff that gets you through the lines faster, including global entry.

Recently we were about to miss our transfer and there was a dude waiting at the gate when we deplaned who loaded us into a Porsche and drove us around the runway directly to our next gate. That was probably random, but there's a 0% chance Southwest or Spirit would do that.

Also treat yourself to some fine dining if you are able, even if it's just once every year or two.

Maybe get someone to deep clean your place (even once a year) .

Note that I am in no way a baller when I say these things. I always thought you had to be rich to get anything cool like that, but it's not attainable than you think, assuming you're not in a paycheck -to-paycheck situation (which many are and I certainly was for like all of my 20's and a good chunk of my 30's).

The part where the workers own the means of production.

Fighting usually involves actual fighting.

I've got one of those in my rotation too. I've got the adjustable one. Is that the fat boy? I forget. Definitely a Gillette and antique.

These religious NES games. The one I remember was called Exodus. It was basically a ripoff of an existing game, but Moses themed.

My first car was a 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix, and the thing was a tank. It was my favorite car I've ever had up until I got a 2018 Mercedes GLA a couple years ago, which is also a tank and objectively the best car I've ever had.

No wheezing the juu-uice!

My wife drinks chamomile every night before bed. I drink different kinds of tea depending on my mood.

Also having an actual "afternoon tea" with all the food is excellent.

Hard drugs also don't show up on a drug test nearly as long as weed does, so you're really only stopping people who smoked in the last month, while others are doing whatever.

Pete and Bas go hard

...No.

Painting minis with an airbrush, also powerlifting.

Yeah they look about 45 (a few years older than me) to me. I think that's about right. 80's 45-year olds look like they are in their 50's.

The fast and furious movies are very much a campaign. There's a great quote about it that I think came from SomethingAwful.

It's like how in any jrpg you start off fighting rats or spiders (street racing) and end up fighting god (probably street racing against god). The actual quote is much more is depth and is more about the gear and leveling up.
