Really though. It’s crazy how much high is at your fingertips these days. Back in the day you had to buy weed and usually roll it into a joint or blunt, or at the very least pack it into a bowl. And either way it was getting smoked. Maybe you had a brownie once in a while if someone you knew was making them.

The way that people are currently obsessed with protein is really how they should be feeling about fiber.

Meditation is awesome and useful. But it doesn’t need to be mystical and magical to be great, and I wish more people realized that.

It saddens me that some dinosaurs probably had gregarious colors and fleshy structures that we’ll never know about.

I think I tried Platinum for a bit but yeah it was too cumbersome to play on my phone.

As someone who hasn’t played a pokemon game since Gen 3, what are they like these days? Have they totally jumped the shark?

Paywall so I can’t read the author’s main points, but it’s all relative when you say “bad at baseball.” Compared to the average person or even the average pro athlete? Yeah it’s extremely impressive to play AA ball after not playing since high school, I think he was 14 years removed from the sport. Absolutely an athletic freak with crazy work ethic and natural talent. I’d argue that anyone who makes it to AA is far more than decent. And I think Space Jam kinda gives his baseball skills a bad rap.
But in the context of professional baseball, he wasn’t major league caliber. He slashed .202/.289/.266 in 497 plate appearances at 31 years old. If he had continued to play I bet he would have been promoted to the majors at least once for the spectacle, a la Bronny playing on the Lakers with his dad. But I doubt he ever would have been truly serviceable.
Hitting against major league pitching is really, really hard. Like one of the hardest things in sports imo. Like so hard that the best players in the world have to spend years in the minors or foreign leagues to even sniff an MLB roster.
- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 4 days ago:
How common is it for students in non-English speaking countries to learn a second language that isn’t English? I would imagine not very. Learning a second language isn’t very useful if you’re not going to use it, and learning it won’t be easy if you aren’t immersed in it.

Would you pay a higher price to do so?
Would you (or could you even afford to) pay twice the insurance premiums because Liberty or State Farm ads annoy you?

Haunted Chocolatier is coming. Might be a little while but I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait.
With HC on the way and with SDV continuing to get updates, I doubt we’ll see a SDV2. Would make more sense just to keep adding content. Eric has said he still has lots of ideas for the game and plans to add more updates in the future.
Also, if you’re playing on desktop, look into Stardew Valley Expanded. Tons of new stuff: content, characters, maps, you name it!
- Comment on Stardew Valley Turns 10: The Big ConcernedApe Interview - IGN 3 weeks ago:
I’ve bought this game 3 times and I’ll buy it again for another platform if I get one.
After years of playing and hundreds of hours across various farms, I’m finally going for perfection! I was trying to hit it by Grandpa’s Evaluation at the start of year 3 but I don’t think that’s gonna happen haha.
However, that takes away my time constraint, and as much as I love planning crunching and grinding in SDV it’s nice to kick back and go at a relaxed pace.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 4 weeks ago:
Plus with declining birthrates in developed countries there are probably fewer overall Gen Z people than older cohorts. So even if they drank at the same rate you could still expect the absolute amount of alcohol consumption to be lower.
