  They don’t even care when gunning down people, you think they really care about this? How do these searches work by the way? They just enter peoples properties without informing them? I guess it doesn’t say whether they let them onto the property or not, but my guess is they just did what they wanted “for the better cause” while stomping on our liberties at the same time.

  Absolutely, not because I wanted to though. I kind of had to due to responsibilities. As they got older there is some leeway now so its a bit easier to get out, but I don’t push my luck either with the wife haha. I definitely have the urge to go out more, a lot of my friends are either still single or married and never want kids so they all get together way more. For me it probably is my friends that keep me coming back, we have all been friends since high school basically so were all comfortable and know each other well so its always a fun time. Beats 24/7 of kids all the time which is the alternative. Also since were kinda poor getting a babysitter is out of the question so even spending some time with the wife is limited sadly.

  We setup a funny group just to make sure we get together every few months which helps and we each take turns picking a good pizza place and just get pizza. I used to love concerts in my 20’s so much i was going like once a week at my peak. Now i barely go once a year but I finally get to go to one in a few weeks. Finally we got a yearly weekend tradition where we rent a place and just hang out for 2 days and cant wait for that at the beginning of december. Thats about it for my year though, not to crazy.

  That’s one way of looking at it. I definitely disagree though. I absolutely agree time is quick and feels like it has only excelerated, and i havent just gone out without plans on a random night in forever, but I absolutely still love having plans to do things with friends like once a month if not every other month. Maybe it’s because i have 2 kids, but I really need that relaxing time away from all that every now and then and hanging out with some friends is always a good time still and keeps my head straight. It’s also nice to have something to look forward to.

  Its a payment plan since i cant afford the winter months peak when I have to use electric heating. Its also an older house and needs some real improvements to insulation and new windows. I also wish i could upgrade the electric heating since i do believe even that have better options as well. All things I could never get to sadly, but now that were selling I will be really happy not having to think about all of that ever again. Ive been keeping track and in summer it’s actually $300. Winter is brutal sadly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are undecided on buying a house. But this convinces you to buy it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and yes, but no I never have. Generally I would like to think majority of people use agents that others have used and recommend or they are friends with. As for a lawyer the few times I needed one was either family or research online.

  Idk anyone who has seen a billboard and said oh yeah thats my best option, im gonna call them. Outside of movies.

  Do you not have agents over there? We can also do this all ourselves, but the paperwork and rules normally make it something you don’t want to do yourself, same with lawyers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Mom, we can just go back to burning wood"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I moved into an all electric house over 10 years ago and it was awful back then with it being avg $500 a month. This past year ive been paying $1100 a month. I do not have a huge place and outside of a few pcs and tvs i really dont use much so it pisses me off. To broke to change or put solar up. We just decided to move so ill be thrilled when this shitshow is not my problem anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart Kid⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop making me even more jealous lol. The funny thing to me is I don’t even want an ounce anymore! I like concentrates way more and even if I didnt I still smoke flower way less to the point that it would last me way to long that I wouldnt even want it anymore and would rather get something fresh and new to try. At that price i would be giving out a bunch to friends or making crazy large joints just because.

  So how much is an eighth? Like $10 bucks? I would prob just buy a few different ones of those and call it a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart Kid⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah growing up it was always $20 1g, $50 3.5g, and $90 7g. I used to get awful weed for around $200 an ounce and it was like $300-$400 for good stuff. So with those prices it kind of set the original pricing for the state, but it has come down significantly and having the ability to choose stuff on sale is a gamechanger. We all agree here that it will continue to drop as it continues to become available and more stores open up which is incredible. I am slightly jealous of the places that get it even cheaper.

  When our state legalized it the only way some agreed to let it pass was to agree to some rules. That meant no personal home growing at all sadly… if I didnt have kids I would take the risk, but its absolutely not worth it. I just want to try it once for fun. They have said from the beginning that it will be legal in the future, but recently it got taken off the table again. We believe they dont want to allow it so more people have no choice but to buy it so the state rakes in more income. Hopefully one day it changes. The funny thing is when it was passed they didnt realize there was a part in there to legalize mushrooms lol. Everyone was so angry about it and i think they had to immediatly pass a new bill correcting it which was done in a week or so. Just goes to show if they want something done they absolutely can do their jobs. Sorry for the extra info haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart Kid⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It varries state by state. West coast is actually really cheap, but east coast where I am is much higher. I also think the longer its been available helps pricing as well since we have been dropping little by little each year and I dont even think its that bad anymore. I basically just buy the sale items now. Normally our joints are single but 1g for anywhere from $8 to $30. Ounces are probably double what your prices are if you get a good sale or buy shake otherwise the standard is about $90 for a quarter (used to be $100) but can go as low as $50-$60 on sale. I generally buy concentrate and i can get them as low as $25-$30 for 1g which used to average $50 just a few years ago.

  I don’t buy much, the 1g concentrate is small, cheap, very strong, and lasts me a month or more and im fine with that. Normally everyone i see who is buying stuff in store buys way more though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart Kid⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For the non-obvious reasons that this works is because weed is kind of expensive so the majority of people going are probably dropping around $100 or more, so you know they have the extra money to throw down on some cookies. Adding on another $10 bucks on a want when buying leisure activity substances makes the decision pretty easy in that moment to trap them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah thats the issue with this ride. When i looked at them they all say its a very rough ride and your head is thrown into the sides several times throughout which may not be a huge issue for a lot of people, but for it to be bad enough to even do this to a few people now and again is kind of terrifying. They gotta fix it, im not even sure why thats up for discussion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 soundtrack reveal revives digital release debate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought this was going to have more to do with license rights ending and it will be removed from the game which means it will no longer be the same game, but on physical games the original OST will always exist. But it wasnt, it just talks about the irony of them releasing a physical OST for the release instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do not recommend: Marvel's Wolverine (Review) - Skill up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend was preaching for weeks now that he absolutely has to buy this game, but already knew it was going to be booty and hated that he was going to waste money on this. Guess he was right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t played, but the more I hear the more I want to. Kind of broke for the next few months, plus these next few months are stacked with the most amount of games I actually want to buy in years… so this one may be left till a discount and then buy late in the year or early next year.

  For reference I have only purchased like 1 game in the past few years and that was Clair Obscure day one of its release. So having like 5 or so games that I really want to buy in the next 3ish months is crazy. And yes i still play a bunch of games, just been ones a friend will let me borrow or the free games on PS+ which has been more than enough to keep me occupied.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How common were video game scalpers in the 1990s?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure, but my experience is when I was a kid my parents told me later on that they couldn’t really afford to get me a console, but they were able to get one for a fraction of the price by buying one off the back of a truck which was a lot more common back then for lower income neighborhoods. Lots of stolen goods sold locally that way as long as you had the hookup. As for games the only thing I remember was in the 90s some of my asian friends had some awesome toys from chinatown. They had this adapter that plugged into the snes and it played games that were on cards which were basically copied roms so you didnt have to buy full games anymore. My mind was blown at the time. Idk about scalpers, but this was what I remember for that market at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah i read the same thing a while back. I was shocked when I read that it was way more different from the first to the point that it is emulating switch 1 games because its not compatible. So starting from scratch sadly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is officially the first Switch 2 release I am sad because I don’t have a Switch 2 and won’t be able to anytime soon… at least this fall is stacked with a ton of other great releases. Hopefully next year ill be able to get one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Welcome to the current state of all video games. It’s more than a theme these days to rally people to hate on everything game related, it is it’s own group of people who have found a market to complain or make up controversies to get views and subscribers. It’s not just GTA its most games that end up having some crazy thing to complain about to stir the pot. I’ve been sick of this trend for years now. Anyone who actually loves games should always be celebrating a new release and not caring about stuff like is this game woke… thankfully I avoid most social media and don’t watch those videos on youtube, but sometimes i hit it by mistake or see some article online hearing about what preasure the game is facing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every payment option has a fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s exactly what my father does for places. He can’t stand these fees and if whatever service he is paying has them then a check will be sent. He says it’s what hes uses to anyway since that is how he had done it most of his life.

  I love that mentaility and wish I could do the same, but sadly I just want it to be known its paid right away and also since i live paycheck to paycheck waiting weeks on end for random checks to be cashed will be impossible for me to not accidentally use some of that money elsewhere.
