  • My wife bakes, reads, and does pilates.

    I’m lazy so I play video games and drink. Though I’ve reduced the booze intake and tried reading at least 1 book every 8 weeks. I’m also trying to be more consistent at the gym 2-3x per week instead of 2-3 times per month which inadvertently became the norm the past few years.

    We both like board games, puzzles, and a good binge of a show we both like. Also sex.



  • Craigslist for basic stuff is pretty chill these days. List as local pick up only, ignore anyone asking you to ship it or doing anything weird, and arrange a local pick up in a police station parking lot or in the middle of the day at the gas station of your local mega-grocery chain. 60% of the time, it works every time. I give a lot of my old crap to goodwill and may occasionally sell something on eBay but that’s rare, like mr. clean with hair.





  • Mardis Gras 2020. Was down there for a buddy’s bachelor party. That place is fucking disgusting. Had an absolute blast. Somewhere between the bars, constant parties, strip clubs, and 3 days of abusing my body as hard as I possibly could, I caught it.

    Exactly two weeks later I woke up and felt like shit. Didn’t lose smell or taste but just felt super lethargic and achy like I had the flu. Called the doctor and he basically said I’m young and healthy and not to come in and if I felt worse to go to the ER.

    This was very early in all the shit, right as the lockdowns were getting started. Missed 3 days of work and stayed in bed most of the time. Tests weren’t available back then unless you were in the hospital. But man was New Orleans a good time.





  • So I’ve noticed spam comes in waves. My gmail account will go months and be more or less fine and then in a period of a week I’ll get several dozen spam emails like “HoMe DePoT PoWeR DrIlL WiNnER” and the like. I always report spam and block.

    My hotmail account on the other hand. I stopped checking and migrated every important account to gmail because I was getting spamming by the dozen every single day.





  • Spez stabbed baconreader in broad daylight so now I get my dopamine fix through Liftoff.

    On the bright side, with smaller communities I have cut my time on lemmy in half from what it was on reddit to the point my wife has even brought up how less frequently I am staring at my phone.

    Why am I on lemmy right now? Because it’s Friday so I am doing as little work as possible. I think I’ll go make some eggs.
