    How to budget for some major purchases?

    I'd be going for the gaming computer rig myself. I have a PS5 and a gaming computer and since getting the gaming computer I almost never use the PS5 anymore. While there are games that are exclusive to consoles it seems like nowadays that is only at launch and usually within a year if it was...

    Oh, this is brilliant.

    Those side effects are enough to scare me away from the idea. Hardly seems like a worthwhile trade off.

    People Who Prefer Animals Over People Have These 15 Traits

    Humans are the worst. I prefer the company of animals for sure. Though I laugh and have to agree with Mary Terry on pets lie all the time for food. My too cat's you'd think were starving and the buggers know they can play one human off of the other at my house. Pretty sure at this point they eat...

    Oh, this is brilliant.

    Almost any weight loss drug like that you gain it all back once you stop taking it. Makes sense though if you need to take a drug to loose weight you'd gain it back once stopping if you didn't make some serious lifestyle changes. I know a lot of people that have all lost a lot of weight taking...

    Issues with people I consider overly devout

    By and large I do my best to avoid bringing up religion with people. It's when dealing with the overly devote that issues occur. I'm never the one bring the big G into things.

    Riddles

    Sorry buddy but this time around you have me absolutely stumped. I have nothing more than joke replies. And that "The Police" hint, well now I can't get Walking on the Moon out of my head. Are you a Drummer?

    Issues with people I consider overly devout

    "Just respect my point of view other wise I have no time for you." Even if the point of view might happen to be demonstrable nonsense? I'm not trying to attack you here but there is a quote that I've always come back to that you reminded me of; "The correct statement of individual rights is...

    Issues with people I consider overly devout

    Iconoclast is a great word thank you. I was drawing a blank earlier and that's just the word I was looking for. I'd consider myself then to be an agnostic apostate reformed iconoclast.

    Issues with people I consider overly devout

    I agree with most of what you say there but there was one line I take issue with "Their right to their beliefs is equal to my own" I both do and don't agree with that. I agree that their right to a belief is equal to my own, to a point. That point is when they think their belief should dictate...

    Issues with people I consider overly devout

    It's hard for me sometimes dealing with people. I think it is a commonality a lot of us have. For me it has a lot to do with being focused on logic and reason. Not fully grasping emotional response of folks I cling to facts. So I do often run into severe issues with folks that are overly devout...

    Hello, I want to ask for advice

    I think even if you don't feel you are autistic you can at least see a lot of related territory and behavior. Which would lead me to think that a lot of the tips and advice you'll find on here for dealing with various issues will be very useful. The label isn't important, the reaching out for...

    My dear forum members:

    Pretty off topic. The post is about asking for what you need. Stating that you have religious commentary, about as useful as me stating I have opinions on the state of rock & roll.

    Maybe the pirates got annoyed by her and decided it just wasn't worth it.

    Help me with my story plot

    She could have been some solo navigator trying to set a cross atlantic sailing record and got caught up in a storm that shunted her off to one of the more remote lesser known islands in around the tropics.

    Finance

    In the last 13+ months of not drinking it's around the 10k mark for me in terms of savings directly not from drinking. I'm not ready yet, but soon enough I'll have the down payment I need to get my own home. Then every mortgage payment will be an investment in my future.

    Do you speak in a monotone voice?

    Not monotone, but very often deaf to the tone I am using to the point where my work colleagues know when to ask if me if I'm aware of my tone. And in elementary school I was unusually loud when speaking. To the point where my Grade 1 teacher referred to it as me using my "Guy Smiley" voice. He...

    Should I ‘just give up on people’ for a while?

    I wouldn't necessarily give up on people so much as I would reframe it to "focusing on finding peace with yourself". And I'm not talking just liking who you are. I mean learning to be content and at peace with yourself. You're young, you've got a very long life ahead of you. Connections are...

    that line just throws me. However, there is only one object I know of that could possible fit that line. MC Escher happened to do one. A mobius strip.
