Same. Spent 3 hours on Gundyr in ds3 just to watch my non gamer wife beat him second try. Hated the game then came back to it with a friend who had finished it and voila, my new never ending addiction.

Pretty much any Brandon Sanderson book series. Mistborn, Steelheart, Way of King’s, Skyward… Etc

It’s from the video game Final Fantasy X, but it’s still such an amazing qoute

Anything. Music makes everything easier to do for some reason

If you need a laugh:

This Paranormal Life and The Adventure Zone.

This Paranormal Life is a comedy podcast about 2 guys who investigate the paranormal and come down on an answer as to whether they believe the story happened or not. They go into deep detail about the subjects they are talking about in a hilarious but informative way.

The Adventure Zone is a tabletop roleplaying podcast about the McElroy family trying to play roleplaying games and creating amazing stories all in a hilarious way.

Chicken Broccoli Braid from Pampered Chef. Trust me, it’s worth it.

My relationship with my mother

After discovering revanced and smarttube I refuse to ever go back

I don’t think it’s any different from saying that your newborn is cute or someone’s toddler is a cute kid. It has nothing to do with sexual attraction to the child. Now, I don’t know if your BF is looking for sexual attraction to his younger self. I’d suggest asking probing questions as to the answer he’s looking for. Communication is key to any and all relationships

I would love to Google search Lemmy instead of reddit. I just don’t know how feasible it would be being that Lemmy is decentralized.

I use KeePass every single day

I only use it when googling questions that I know reddit has the answer for. And I hate it the whole time. I spend only enough time on there to get my answer then immediately close the web page. Call me silly or what you will, but I personally want to give as little interaction with that website as possible now. Fuck u/spez

As for the drama, I subscribe to a couple Lemmy instances that share the drama through Lemmy, that way I can be in the loop without having to be on the actual website.

You can find lactose free alternative milk. One brand is called Lactaid and it tastes exactly the same an normal milk.

Oh yeah, the Sync for Lemmy communities are hopping. I thought the same as you since most people talk about Boost or RIF or whatnot. Glad to see a lot of us are still supporting ljdawson

Explain the future doesn’t get better and they shouldn’t hope too much.

You aren’t wrong…

Currently I use Jerboa first, but if that doesn’t work I switch to Connect, then Wefwef then just a web browser. All to wait for Sync for Lemmy to release.

Windows 11 because I’m too lazy to try and figure out how to run applicationa/games on a Linux based OS.

There is plenty of work out there if you are willing to look and put in the effort. We all have to start out somewhere and selling your personal items (whether they be junk or not as you say) could bring in a little revenue through yard sales and whatnot, but it is important to further your education and up your communication skills as those are what will get you into better paying jobs in the future. As for myself while I was in high school, I didn’t really need a lot of money because I had no bills or anything to pay for.

I did make a pact with my parents that they would pay me a certain amount to do extra chores at home. Maybe your family will do the same if you talk to them about it.

I also had a dishwasher job at age 16 in a restaurant that I did on weekends. Like I said before, if you are willing to put in the effort you can make money. But at your age money is less important than your education, so focus that first in my opinion. Good luck on your way to adulthood!

Oh yeah, I was telling my wife this exact thing. I feel like I can comment and post way more than I used to and get in discussions cause my comments won’t be drowned out as much and when I do see a post it doesn’t already have 3k comments on it already like in reddit. A lot more intelligent conversation too which is a nice change.

Edit: sorry about the second comment, my instance isn’t updated and is having issues. Tried deleting the second comment but it won’t let me lol
