My (adopted) step father got custody over my mother for my siblings and I. My mother was on disability, so we got SSI checks (like $40 bucks a month per kid, in the late 1990’s.

I really think it was that set of three games, Half Life, Portal, and whatever the other one was.
Where did I get that first xbox 360? I think itbwas given to me or traded… I dont remember, but I think I went out and got Portal as my first ever game purchase.

Ive been waiting to give it a more honest go before responding, Ive just not gotten there yet, sorry. Ill be back for it, promise :)

- Comment on Explain it like I'm 5: Why is everyone on speakerphone in public? 1 month ago:
Ive done this twice, but most recently,
I was in a doctor’s waiting room where an older fella is brainrot scrolling videos. I’m trying to read my book and ignore it, but the sounds are so annoying. So, I as politely ax I can, turn to him and ask, “Sir, Im sorry to bother you, it’s a bit loud, do you think you can turn it down?” He snaps at me, “Ma’am”, he fucking ma’med me, “Ma’am, my volume is only at half, it’s fine”. I said, “Oh yeah? Bet, mine too” and hit play on the Suicide Silence (deathcore) I queued up.
The first time I did this, the person pulled out headphones immediately (maybt They Art is Murder works better), This guy kept going, so I placed my phone on the floor in front of me and pretended(tried) to read my book until I got called.
Fire with Fire

I remember learning about DuPont, goodness, more than a decade ago?
Im anti consumerous. I dont buy platics that are easily avoidable, I cook with steel, wood, and cast iron, my tupperware is all glass. I buy spices/beans/graims in bulk at the co-op. I havnt used amazon in years, walmart I avoid like the plauge. By this I mean, avoiding plastics basically. I try and feed myself and my family homecooked meals from scratch always. My Kid (anyone for that matter) gets second hand or locally sourced gifts. I do with less, I am poor. I practice gardening though im not very good.
Most of these giant chemical companies are evil. they polluted the mississippi river, we had acid rain in the 80’s and regulation fixed it. They are now undoing the regulations.
I been mad for decades. I get so mad when the general populace continues to use these products from companies who dont give a fuck about their emoloyees nor theyre consumers. Money wins, and its digusting.
years ago I went to a dinner party. A southern girl was dating my friend. A lovely person, but, if we set aside the meal she prepared had not a single veggie, her teflon pans were all peeling. like, if you made something in the pan, it looked like you added cracked pepper but didnt. Horrible. We were both pregnant. I used being pregnant (nausea) as an excuse not to eat as everyone else did.
I changed many many habits whike learning about all this. Keeo learning, change your buying habits, and try to educate folks when appropriate.

- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 2 months ago:
this is exactly how I feel about sugar in tomato sauce.
I make it myself and dont add sugar. Was at someones house during dinner the other week. they made food for everyone. They used Jar sauce… 8mg of sugar per 1/2cup serving of sauce. 8! And they added so much salt on top, I called it a fasting day and didnt have any supper over there
I dont understand how people live like that. Reminds me of years ago I met people who would put cows milk and sugar in their kids’ sippy cups :(
so much sugar is unpalatable.
- Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask? 2 months ago:
and it’s expensive! So a treat, and I like to mix it with sletzer water to help savor it and not sugar bomb myself!

A few years back I dived in to men’s mental health on youtube. My husband and I were in a rough patch and I just wanted to see some content created by men to maybe reach/understand him better.

- Comment on Anon changes his strategy 2 months ago:
Hell, even in healthy relationships. I noticed my husbands mental health was getting rough, so I tried to bring it up. He got so defensive so fast, tried to flip it on me when he got panicky.
We talked that incident out, but people seem to generally just get defensive about sensitive things all the time, like reflexively. Unless you’ve done extensive inner work, it’s how it goes. How many avoidants walk this earth christ

- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 3 months ago:
Ooo ooo I love good work boots!
I bought these in 2015 for work. I left that job in 2020, and I wore these like three times since. Pulled them out this winter for my son to wear as the fit him right now, (he’s growing and blowing through shoes).
How bloody happy I am that after ten years, they are still holding up! You can see some of the leather is wearing, but they’re soaked on the outside in these photos, bone dry in the inside.
Fuck inflation though, I paid $120 for these back then, the same boots, I looked them up, today, are $230. Wild. No way I can buy these kind ever again, I’m so happy they have lived so long my son is now getting life out of them! Will definitely be getting these repaired when the time comes!
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 3 months ago:
Those look good to me. I wear the shit out of my shoes.
Fresh clean shoes are lame. I like looking down at my feet and seeing all the life and work I’ve worn into my shoes. I’ve a pair of boots for snow, a pair of sneakers, and one pair of sandlas. That’s it- if you invited me to something fancy, well, I won’t be invited anywhere fancy I assure you. I’m 38 and never even been to a single wedding. Ha.
