Can't recall the last time I read a work of fiction with a male lead character. Figured that sort of thing was banned years ago.

It's not so much that those shows are interesting so much as the fact that there's a noticable lack of hobbits. I mean like, for me personally, finding a show with no hobbits was really my main priority, so "Dukes of Hazzard" was a real blessing.

You should try a more interesting series, like maybe "Dukes of Hazzard" or "Perfect Strangers."

It's not over, bro. 😐

I'm not sure. If I click on Settings, it lists two relays that I didn't put there: nos.lol and damus.io. Those must be the defaults.

That's beautiful, bro. You should frame that.

Wow, that's a real zinger, especially coming from someone with 832 posts and 3k+ replies. But hey, thanks for responding to my two-month old post. You're a champ.

Your friend is right. I'm not even a video game enthusiast, but I tell people all the time (referring to life): "It's just a game." Let the plebs battle it out over their silly politics and ideologies. In the meantime, I blissfully ignore 99.9% of it, identify the 1.% that actually affects me and that I can control, try to stack the odds in my favor, and extract as much joy and resources from this broken world as I can.

Wow, that's great info. Thanks, friend!

All the blue collar guys I know with highly physical jobs (e.g. welder, electrician) ended up with busted joints and knees, often living on some sort of disability payment. The long-term outcome for blue collar guys is frequently very bleak, unless they can start their own corp and delegate the work to others. Not sure what career path I'd recommend to a young man these days. I used to say "learn to code," but honestly that's starting to look even worse than blue collar stuff these days.🙁

That's what makes this drawdown all the more perplexing.
