    What are your post pandemic plans?

    I was hoping to keep this light and positive like I'm going to eat the biggest cheeseburger ever constructed or I'm going to take my family to the beach or something. But I guess if you have bigger challenges you can post those too. Personally I cannot wait to go to Taco Bell. I have been...

    Strange foods you enjoy

    What's the weirdest food you eat? Maybe it's not weird to you, but something other people would say that's unusual, or wow that's gross. Tinned sardines. Boneless, skinless ones in olive oil are my favorite and then I usually put sriracha on them. I eat them plain but they're good in a...

    Meditation

    I want to get into meditation but don't really know what to do or how to do it. How much do I meditate? What method should I use? Has anyone had success with it? My goal is self regulation. I was taking some drugs for mood swings but I didn't like the side effects and my doctor said try...

    Rate your happiness

    Are you generally happy? I see a lot of posts that seem to be kind of negative in nature, though that's kind of the world we live in. A lot of news worthy stuff is negative. I'm wondering what the general happiness level of forum posters is.

    Uber and Lyft pay

    I stumbled across this article on one of my feeds and thought, wow $19 an hour to drive for uber is a pretty good deal. Until I read the details. https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-lyft-driver-how-much-money-2019-10 The headline is total click bait. First the guy got a flat while driving...

    [MoO] Moo2 weapon choices

    Vs the AI I prefer beam weapons over missiles. The AI just seems to typically stack those anti rockets or ecm jammers or point defense weapons to take down missiles, but they rarely have high beam defense. Also it greatly simplifies your armor tech choices since there are so many other valuable...

    Help me decide on these Michigan proposals

    We got pot, gerrymandering and voter registration laws! A lot of interesting stuff! And I am undecided on two of them. I really have no idea how to go on this one.

    Would you get a vaccine if it could potentially kill you?

    This is not a hypothetical. Actual situation, my daughter is allergic to eggs. She's had reactions where we administered an epipen and took her to the ER, though it's really hard to say if her life was ever in danger. She had hives all over and was throwing up a lot, but never went into full...

    Death of Dead Space

    I didn't know what to call this thread, or whether to post it here or in the games forum, but nobody reads that one much. I have some not so well organized thoughts on the topic of video game publishing and market conditions. After finishing Darkest Dungeon I started looking at some of the...
