Not every day you see a conservative comment on lemmy. Thanks for repping.

There's no ideology described as being "pilled" that's anything but toxic.

You're subbing the wrong munis, cousin. I find it very vibrant here compared to most of social media, including blogs.

Or the patterns I notice in mythological stories across cultures.

In a Joseph Campbell kinda way, or a "every culture has a flood myth" kinda way?

Why would being spoiled rate highly? It's a bad thing.

I'd rate mine a 10 but because of independence. My parents gave me both the trust and the skills to do what I wanted to do. I biked all over town, didn't need to check in outside of mealtimes, read the whole library, went to museums and concerts and dances. I taught myself to type and then to program. It was fantastic.

I wasn't spoiled, though. We didn't have any spare money, so anything I wanted to do I had to pay for myself; I was babysitting and mowing lawns from a young age. I had my chores at home including taking care of my brothers. I had food, if not my favorites, and clothes, though mostly hand-me-downs from cousins. Any electronics in the house were shared, and either bought used or received as gifts from most distant relatives. But stuff isn't what makes childhood great: friends, freedom, and family are.

I didn't say they sound bad, I said I don't believe they're real.

Walking around in the early evening and stopping wherever people are gathering.

I was just popping out for salad greens, and ran across a group of young people having a picnic on the sidewalk. They had way too much food and were offering to share it with everyone who passed by. I wasn't hungry but I sat down and joined the picnic anyway. Great people! I stayed for over half an hour and I'm so glad I did.

And this isn't a one-off. This is how I met my wife, too, sixteen years ago. You gotta be open to spontaneous experiences.

no, my mother got remarried while I was out of the state

 

Civ 2 was such an improvement over the first one. I remember both playing and baking mods for it after I exhausted the base game. My second favorite in the series.

 

I had previously posted this on reddit and it's still my favorite.

 

Found on NB Milwaukee between Grand and Chicago. HMU if it's yours and I'll get it back to you.

Inb4 yes I already posted to the subreddit as well. I went back to reddit for this and I feel dirty.
