I remember buying a Sony mp3 CD player with 5-second skip delay for $80.

Everyone was still using regular CD players with their 80 minutes of audio, carefully holding their precious device.

While I was living like a god, playing over twenty hours of music, dropping my player over and over, without losing a beat.

You're never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.

Ham radios are awesome though and that's less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.

Wait, BDSM is a group event?

I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.

30yo kind of have their lives together.

Have a coffee. Just chat like people. Expand your network. The worse that can happen is you shut it down.

From my own perspective, there will be a generational gap. I'm 40, and I can connect with someone around that age. But lower than 30 or older than 45, the connection is platonic.

Wait you read sci-fi where a planet has THREE governments?

Maybe I'm reading bargain bin material but the stories I see is a mono-culture, with a mono-religion and if I'm extra blessed, a single ecosystem like frost planet, or sand planet.

Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people's accounts.

Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn't like you, say you sold "Fuck PayPal stickers", they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.

My kids went through a period where I could wrap a box of crayons up over and over and that would make their whole day. Literally beaming at just getting anything.

The worst part, the demo was actually pretty good.

They literally could have released this game with mod support, and sold it for $20 and it would have been a fun party game.

Instead, they kept going on with BS games as a service.

 

I work downtown. I personally take the bus to work and walk.

While getting feedback from our paid intern's experience, one complained about having to pay for parking.

Because I naturally always support the interns, I pushed for that perk. Why shouldn't they get all the help they need? They're young, they have a busy life and they're trying their best.

But my coworker (who drives) said, "Theres street parking and they are complaining they have to walk 14 minutes over."

Now my internal "Fuck Cars" position is battling with my "Give the Interns everything".

I'm not the deciding factor. Just wanted to share this.
