I look at genre, average review, and watch maybe 30 seconds to a minute of a game play type trailer. If it looks interesting, I'll add it to my wishlist and buy it when I can afford it. I've been let down a few times, and absolutely lost my soul to a few games that I knew nothing about prior.

Yes, you're right, my mistake!

I used to be an EMT (am going to be working as one again soon) and where I worked we had some good cops and some real shitty cops who had no business being cops, but one thing that they all had in common was that the rules were if someone asked for medical help, they had to call the ambulance. Didn't matter if it looked like obvious bullshit, all the departments in the area I worked had a blanket policy that they weren't medical professionals and they couldn't make that decision. You could have a tiny little cut on your finger and ask for medical help and even the shittiest cops would sigh and call for EMS. These cops infuriate me. How many more people have to get murdered? If someone asks for help fucking help them and sort out the details later.

I was a little lost until the iPod and the t9 showed up, then it was almost scary how normal it all felt. I didn't even realize I still remembered t9 but I didn't even have to think.

Kids these days are just so lazy, back then the average man could lift way more weight

If you've had covid, it's done a number on some young people's cardiovascular systems. I know a person in their 20s who was very healthy, got covid, and was shortly after diagnosed with POTS. I've heard of several other people being diagnosed with POTS after getting covid.

Happy late birthday to your orange brain cell!

I've gone through some traumatic shit lately, and I'd also like to get a tattoo once I can put in enough OT to save for one.

Is your wife free? :)

Shit, I'll never forget being at home watching the towers burn on TV as a kid and seeing things falling from them and asking my mom what they were and hearing "those are people jumping rather than burn to death". Horrifying. What a choice to make.

Oh definitely. It just did give me sympathy. I'm much better than I used to be, although I definitely have days and weeks occasionally where I'm like wow, I just want something sweet, and I eat like crap and then have to eat super healthy for awhile to balance it out. But I'm only human, and sometimes I get stressed, depressed, or too broke/tired to eat the way I should. And that's ok. I've tried the ultra healthy lifestyle for awhile and I was honestly miserable and unhappy. I like good food, and everything in moderation and all.

I like sweet things. I totally confess that I eat way too many sweet things. 3 or 4 times in my life I've "challenged" myself to go 30 days without eating any sugar except what's in fruits and vegetables and food like that naturally, making sure to eat a very careful diet and no treats or processed food. Every time within a few days I was having awful cravings and mood swings, and by a week I felt like an emotional wreck who just wanted sugar. I completed my "challenges" but it was disturbing.

It also gave me a ton of empathy for addicts. If I can't not eat sugar without a massive struggle, I can only imagine trying to get clean from heroin or another drug.

I'm also joining the group coming here from All, I've never heard of this, but just wanted to chime in and say I'm sorry some of you have to DYI your own healthcare because the system is failing you, please be safe and healthy.
