Yeah, they are called bag worms around here.

Yes, it’s whey over the top.

Seriously?

IMO as soon as a hobby produces any sort of money, it becomes a side gig. Maybe not a profitable side gig, but a side gig none the less.

Hobbies are not for making money. That’s what a job is for. Hobbies are where you sink the money you have left from your job and all the other expenses are paid.

That said.

Hobbies for me include:

Hiking (lots of good trails nearby)

Making sounds on my Synth (I’m building a case right now)

TTRPGS (when you can wrangle enough folks)

Skirmish Games (mainly Gaslands)

Video games (slay the spire, and casual WoW)

Yeah sorry look at Western NC. A friends house was hit by a mudslide and he lost everything. Insurance won’t do fuck because they are calling it flood damage.

Fuck insurance. Fucking scam.

Yeah, this one is pretty good.

Fuck yeah Viagra Boys

We do. It’s called a Glaive, it’s a polearm with a blade. Or if you mean like more 50/50 grip/sword - the Nodachi would be what you are looking for.

Hot take: you deserve this if you are still using linkedin.

Congrats, you ruled.

This is so good and I have no one to share it with.

I mean you kinda manifested this here, so let’s not act surprised.

You are sadly super misinformed. Spay and neuter animals. Unlicensed Breeding and poor treatment of those animals is the crime here.

I want to get off Mr bones wild ride.

Sure friend. Have a good day. Genuinely. 🤝

I’ve tasted a couple of cookies/treats. Milkbones, stuff from 3 dog bakery and what not. Milkbones have no flavor that I can discern. The boutique dog cookie was fine, I can see how a dog would get down on it.

Wet food tho. Nah. I’m good fam.

Dude, I’m sorry, but you are wrong. Everything is advertising. Even IF you somehow manage to avoid ads, others don’t. They form opinions around ads and that will filter through to you in one way or another.

Shitty and annoying ads ABSOLUTELY have the opposite effect. They make you avoid things when they are bad - you know what thats called? Bad advertising. You will never know when you are hit by a good advertisement. All the online research you do for your stuff - some of the people that wrote the things you researched may have been swayed by advertisements, then that tickles down to you.

If you know what Nike, Adidas, Gap, McDonalds, Walmart is - then advertising works. Brand recognition is advertising.

Simple as that.

But look, I will drop this convo, I promise im not trying to troll or annoy you. I just wanted to point out advertising is so much deeper than just you seeing an ad and immediately buying it. Its been around for centuries and it wouldnt still be happening if it wasnt effective.

edit: BTW - You said Pop-socket. Not phone stand. Pop-socket is a brand. You are advertising for them. I’m just saying. Advertising works. :)
