I’m at about 50/50. I realized I would just scroll a lot through junk and got some time back by not doing that. I set up an RSS feed for a few news websites that has replaced reddit for current events and tech news I care about.

However I haven’t found a good replacement for hobby boards or video games I’m currently playing. I’m on a few game discords but I hate the chat format. I would rather have threads I could read about specifics topics instead of catching up on 100 post an hour with no order. For hobbies, I found that the fediverse has me covered on the selfhosted front, but things like comic books and vinyl really hasn’t taken off that much here.

Ahhh Primus. The band I liked as a kid because they were funny and then growing up to realize they are incredible musicians. The albums Claypool did with John Lennon’s son a few years ago are pretty good if you haven’t listened to them yet.

Pizza Scissors. Great for frozen pizzas so you can cut it up right out of the oven without waiting for the cheese to cool off. It’s also great for cutting dough and just having a 2nd pair of kitchen shears if your normal pair was used to cut raw meat.

I had a family member try to get me to listen in 13 and even then it was bullshit. I really never listened to it but I’m guessing it just became more blatant as time moved on

There’s a legitimate pizza place around me that’s been around for ~50 years. My mom went to school with the owners children and when she was in high school their dad had a small stint in jail for tax evasion and unregistered and hot guns. Apparently he was importing a lot of guns from Italy and one day a shipment got caught. About 10 years ago, my mom became friends with someone who was hired to do their taxes. She didn’t give any details, but she told us the numbers really didn’t add up and she had to drop them as a client their first year due to ethical reasons.

The thing is the pizza is really good and kind of an institution in my town. I wouldn’t say it is strictly a front, but money does move through it. The family also owns a lot of small strip malls in the tri county area and some historical properties as well.

Oh and one of the sons married one of their 2nd/3rd cousins from Italy in the 90s. The rumor was it was just to help her get citizenship but they are still married to this day and it’s kinda weird.

I know saying β€œhow many people still watch LTT” is kinda dumb with the views they pull in, but fuck haven’t most people outgrown them? LTT helped me learn a lot of stuff when I started really getting into PC gaming decade ago, but after a few years I felt like it was just tech fluff videos. Most of their videos seemed like an ad for some fotm tech or just very basic concepts. I just don’t see how people can still watch it after a few years just because it seems they make their videos to attract the lowest common denominator.
