Buc-ee's expansion outside of Texas rages on in these 7 states
  • They're currently building a new one here in SC too

  • I was born in 1981 and from what I've seen technically that is the first year people are considered to be millennials. It's kind of a grey area though.

    What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
  • And how many boutique niche Indy games made solely for their artistic merit have you played that actually had an easy mode?

  • What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
  • Why wouldn't the developer want as many people as possible to buy the game though?

  • What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
  • You know you don't have to play the easy mode right? You can just change the mode in the settings. Most games default to the standard version anyway.

    I think it did some permanent damage to my eyes
  • I had that one and it was awesome!

  • I think it did some permanent damage to my eyes
  • I had the Virtual Boy system when I was a kid and I feel like I'm the only person who actually enjoyed it lol I don't recall ever getting any headaches but then I wasn't on there all day or anything

  • Under Trump will anything happen to my brothers Social Security Disability? He is 42 and draws it for mental illness.
  • The only people he cares about being popular with are extreme right wing fanatics and other billionaires who are propping him up. All of these people have a weird "survival of the fittest" fetish so they probably won't be pushing to help anyone who actually needs it

  • Under Trump will anything happen to my brothers Social Security Disability? He is 42 and draws it for mental illness.
  • It's sort of up in the air right now. He's made a lot of promises to not cut social security benefits, but the tax cuts he wants to give the rich and his insane tarrifs plan both threaten to deplete funding for social security within a few years. Hopefully nothing bad will happen but benefits definitely aren't going to get any better.

  • If I go to Canada can I retire there and draw SS from the US? Also can I go to Canada buy a cabin or house with a plot of land and not work? Unless I just needed some walking around money?
  • According to Google you can live in Canada and collect US social security benefits. You will probably have to pay taxes in both countries though, especially if you're still working. To become a Canadian citizen you have to live there permanently and pay taxes for at least three years before you can even be considered for citizenship and even then it looks like there is a lot of other stuff you have to do

    Keep in mind too that social security benefits aren't that much. Unless you've already saved enough to pay off this "cabin or house" up front, then you'll most likely be paying a mortgage, property taxes, you'll need money for utilities and groceries, AND you'll be paying taxes to both the US and Canada. Unless you're already independently wealthy then you'll probably have to get either a full time or part time job.

    The only way I can see this working the way you've described is if you're already of retirement age and can also collect a pension from a job you already have that could help supplement your social security benefits maybe

  • Trump tariff on China could lower global inflation, says UK economist
  • TLDR: Trump's bullshit tarrifs will decrease inflation in every country where he isn't the president... Meanwhile America is still completely fucked

  • Loose iPhone 15 series USB-C port?
  • I don't have a 15, but the last time I had an issue with a charging cable just popping out like that it was because some debris was lodged way down in the very bottom of the port. It was a tiny little thing I had to use a needle and flashlight to get out but it was enough that the cable wouldn't stay plugged in at all anymore

    Just starting Rolife "Simons Coffee" model!

    This one is not a Rolife "book nook" type model, it's more like a diorama. If you go through my post history the last one I finished was Kiki's Magic Shop. If anyone wants to try one of these, the diorama style ones are a lot more challenging than the book nooks.

    With these you are basically given a handful of pre cut parts and a ton of raw materials to basically build everything yourself, including the wiring. Also the directions are VERY basic and often open to interpretation.

    Having said that these are still a lot of fun to build and MUCH more customizable! I just wanted to point it out because these have a much higher level of difficulty compared to the other models I've posted recently!

    "news" article pretends not to understand why two very different shows in two separate genres on two totally separate networks aren't judged exactly the same way.

    They're also comparing the ratings of a single episode of Penguin to the entire first season of The Acolyte

    WIP Wednesday! Trying out a homemade pattern for the first time!

    I can't call this one fully original because I did use the Bing Image Creator AI website to generate the initial artwork.

    After generating the image I converted it into a pattern on Floss Cross

    If you hadn't already guessed, this is a Prince pattern! I'm making it as a custom piece for a friend, but it's also a good chance to test out a homemade pattern before I try a bigger completely original pattern after this!

    If you don't want EVERYONE to participate in your community, then you should really make it private.

    I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It's not a community I'm super active in so it's not like devastating, but it is annoying

    If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can't even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

    The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

    I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I'm in view all
