Not super scary unless your from the area. But there is a prison by me where back in the 80s, a man named Kevin Cooper escaped. He made his was over to a house a couple miles away and broke inside.
He killed the two parents there, one of their children, and another child that was there for a sleep over with an axe. He tried to kill another 9 year old child there as well, but they survived.
A true life actual axe murderer.
For me, it’s an expression of a particular set of my creativity. The decorations, the show element of it, engaging in various fantasy worlds and dressing up.
It’s just fun, and freedom to have fun doing whatever you like!
Get treated for ADHD and depression sooner.
Tons of communities. I don’t think any users though. Some I know are trolls but if I don’t challenge them, then they may influence people who aren’t as aware of their agenda.
Mostly on this account I’ve blocked tons of porn and anime and sports.
My NSFW account I block anything not porn and all the porn I’m not interested in.
Mac and cheese with whatever random protein is like… A norm. Bacon? Hot dog? Chicken?
Yes.

(H)Okay so…
It made sense with t9 texting. Smartphones have easy to use keyboards and autocorrect. No reason to still type like you have to make 7 or 8 key presses to type “you.”
Oh man. The crushes I’ve gone through. Some I’ve helped set up after they rejected me.
Some are bittersweet though. I’m always so happy that they’ve found someone that makes them happy but sad that our friendship dwindled as a result.
I still remember what my mother said to me when I got a girlfriend. “Use a condom.” That was it. No pretending it wasn’t going to happen.
As for drugs, my family never liked them. They never told us kids, but my father had an issue with opiates that’s cost him his job and medical license. My older brother also had an issue with opiates.
I used to do a lot of research on erowid on drugs. Between my brother and I it was a lot of don’t be stupid, do your research on what’s safe and what interacts with each other, and stay away from opiates.
For the most part, it wasn’t talked about much in my family, other than my older brother my younger brother and I didn’t gravitate to them too much or hang with people who did. I ended up getting really into weed for a short time, because that’s where my ADHD hyper focus hobby was for a few months. Then I realized I didn’t like not being sober that much.
Does Halloween count?
I’ve done Johnny Depps character from fear and loathing in las Vegas for something
Nerdy from Jurassic Park.
Jack from The Titanic when I went to a haunted maze at the Queen Mary one year.
I cosplay as someone with their shit together most days.
Based.
It’s fucking annoying and adds literally nothing to the conversation.
It’s got a hell of a datacenter.
From LA to Vegas. Took the servers down end of business one night, drove it all night, installed it and got it back online before start of business the next day.
In the middle of something 200tb for my Plex server going from a 12 bay system to a 36 LFF system. But I’ve also literally driven servers across the desert because it was faster than trying to move data from one datacenter to another.
I’m pretty sure that’s my first memory of gaming. Having to boot up the system by floppy disks to play the game.
It was tough. But had so much character for a game about shuffle puck.
Maybe Shufflepuck Cafe on Amiga.
Or Power Pete on an old Mac.
Hell, it could have been some of those edutainment games like Gizmos and Gadgets. Or Kid Pix.
I used to love Widget Workshop
Vera. Technically given by a coworker.
She’s a WRX with lots of parts from Cobb.
Vera was Janes favorite after all.
I just moved back to the Chicago land area after being away for 20 years. These places sound like my exact vibe and the sort of places I’ve been searching for.
Do you have any other recommendations?
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is that so many places don’t adjust the volume properly to the amount of people in the place. If I go to a sports bar near me for happy hour, they have the music the same volume as when a big game is on and the place is packed.
That’s not a silly thing though. Pretty much all jobs are temporary.
I’m at an MSP that services quite a few school districts. We lose techs to them somewhat regularly.
