Gym, Meditate, Therapy, Volunteer, Meetup, Hobbies. Any combination of these, at least 2.
Accumulating money doesn’t count as character building nor living. Spend it wisely, but do spend it. Wisely is subjective, but see above for what I think that means. Good luck.

- Comment on So the flurry of flying embers that were blowing around in California, is that commonly how fire spreads? 4 weeks ago:
UCLA Climate scientist, Daniel Swain talks about this exact topic during his recent interview with Adam Conniver on his podcast, Factually.
Go to timestamp 17:45 for and you’ll hear Swain talk specifically about how this was a unique firestorm.
Earlier in the interview (around the 12:00 minute mark) Swain points out that it has to do with the increasingly longer periods in between wet and dry periods that are occurring that contributed so heavily to the conditions for a fire of this magnitude becoming more likely to occur, especially when particularly strong Santa Ana Winds occurring this year.

- Comment on Interview: Mike McMahan On Refining The Finale Of ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ And Planning A Push To Bring It Back 1 month ago:
You could tell some plot points in the final episode were very rushed, like Rutherford’s arc. I don’t think this was the ending the writers planned or wanted, and the show is so good, it deserves to have the ending the writers can be satisfied with.
That said, it was as good an ending one could expect given the circumstances, and I really hope we get at least two more seasons and a movie!

- Comment on Starbucks wants a Bachelor's degree for a barista 2 months ago:
Lol, back when I worked at Starbucks, I joked that one day this exact thing would happen. That the education industrial complex would require a bachelor’s degree for all jobs, as it would ensure debt and desperation in the vast majority of people who solely wish to survive.
I also claimed back then that we would all live to see the disastrous effects of climate change. No joke, people back then shook their heads and thought me nuts.
My next prediction: the majority of people who are parents today will wish they never made the decision to have kids in the next 20 years. Good luck everybody.

- Comment on I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas? 2 months ago:
Not enough context. I’m assuming he’s preteen, teenager? Other than fascism, what else is he into? Lean in that direction. Make it apparent that you are all a loving family, and he is a part of that as long as he remains willing to put inthe work/maintenance that love requires.

Same. Best Game Series and storytelling Telltale has ever done.
- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 3 months ago:
There’s a lot of reasons people still eat fast food. Others have pointed out though that fast food these days isn’t all that cheap and in some cases isn’t even all that fast/convenient when compared to other alternatives.
I can’t speak to that as it’s been decades since I’ve stepped inside a fast food restaurant save to use the bathroom while traveling, but I can guess that it also has to do with nostalgia. Some people grew up eating that shit and it provides them with a sense of comfort and familiarity. While I’m not going to hold my breath, it is my hope that the predominance of fast food will die alongside cable news when the younger generations come of age.

Agreed. I mean, to each their own, but I’ve been open and tried the gamut of butt stuff more than a few times with a few partners, and I’ve gotta say…just not a fan of either giving or receiving anal. Oral, on the other hand…
- Comment on ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Lose $150 Million to $200 Million in Theatrical Run After Bombing at Box Office 4 months ago:
I recently listened to a review of the film on the Pod Damn America podcast which expressed somewhat similar sentiments.
I was surprised by the generally poor reviews coming out after hearing this review which praised it for portraying a more sober and somber depiction of mental illness than what audiences had expected.
I have yet to see either the original nor this sequel, but I’ll admit the more favorable reviews of this sequel make me want to set aside a few hours to give them some attention.
- Comment on why do I sweat so much more on leg day at the gym? 4 months ago:
Your quadriceps are the largest muscles in your body (the second largest being your lattisimus dorsi). That’s why squats are often considered to be the most effective exercise you van do for weight loss and muscle building.
It’s understandable that working the largest muscles in your body would cause you to potentially sweat more profusely than working your other muscles, though the amount you sweat is the result of a myriad of factors like genetics and overall health.

I recently stepped outside my front door to find a preying mantis hanging out. I left it alone. When I came back a few hours later it was still there, but it was headless. Took me a second to realize it was missing it’s head. Guess he got laid whole I was gone, lol.
- Comment on How do you drive in Cyberpunk??? 6 months ago:
As you explore more of the map, there are fast travel waypoints that make travel easy.
Some cars handle better than others, and eventually you get somewhat accustomed to it. Motorcycles have the best handling in the game though, and I prefer to use them over cars.
Enjoy the game. It’s got it’s flaws but imho it’s great.

- Comment on What JRPG combat is your favorite? 6 months ago:
Xenogears for the PS1 had one of the best combat systems I’ve ever played. Tied with Star Ocean 2 for the PS1. There’s a remake which I think they overhauled the combat system, so I’m not sure if it still is as good as the first edition, but the customizability was amazing.
After that Grandia was fun, but I played it far less than the aforementioned, so have less to say. Chrono Trigger was very good for what it was, and IMHO was only matched by FF6 in that category (heavy turn based combat systems). Chrono Cross is an honorable mention in that category as well.
Lastly, very recently the Sea of Stars game had a very good combat system.
Ultimately these games have great stories, and that’s all I really cared about, but the combat systems could either make or break the monotoous grind to get to the plot points, so they had to be at least decent to make the games playable.
I highly recommend any of these games. Chrono Trigger in particular is highly regarded as possibly the greatest JRPG of all time, and personally I’d put Xenogears at 2nd place, with Star Ocean 2 at 3rd. But I might just be nostalgic.

Better than nothing, but man am I gonna miss that voice acting, smooth animation, and brilliant writing. I’m still grieving this show’s cancelation. It deserved 6 seasons and a movie.
