I always wonder about that. Like there have to be some people that instead of taking these last 20 years forging ahead, building their career, finding a partner - maybe even having kids or pets - forgot to grow and are still just those same 13 year olds in mom's basement (or maybe a cheap apartment with a TON of roommates), grinding cheeto dust into their ratty computer chairs and furiously masturbating to waluigi hentai
I've never been married or had kids. But I had two cats for a very long time. One died in 2021 at 20 years old. My other one, the Tabby cat, died this past January at 17 years old. Hit me hard because it was the day after the Texans lost to the Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs so I was already hurting from that 23-14 loss. He wasn't keeping on weight anymore and was in bad shape. He died in my room peacefully. I buried him in the backyard near the storage shed I have.
I moved from the big city to a small Texas town by myself after my mother passed away. Small little house with a garage and a decent size yard and fence all around. It's much more affordable than the big city in Houston. I don't think it's forgetting to grow up as much as it is feeling young and trying to keep a sane mind. D2jsp makes me feel good because you guys are the brothers I never had. I'm an only child. I like all of you more than any Facebook friend and even the people I know on X (Twitter).
I enjoy betting on here because it's still illegal in Texas. Hopefully it'll be legalized by the end of 2025. Later this year it may finally make some progress. If I had my way I'd bet on WTA (women's tennis) a lot more often. I need to stop betting on baseball and all the other sports that seem too stressful. But it's going to be difficult for me moving forward to save up to 250 Forum Gold. I don't have the energy to grind as hard on Hardcore Ladder Slasher anymore. I'm mostly playing for the Proficiency points right now. And I enjoy Jubilance a lot more often. It's the skill giving you a little experience while sitting idle in town. It takes forever though. I gained one level sitting idle for a couple hours. Likely not worth it to be honest.
I was a little sad when the Rockets lost in the playoffs but they'll have plenty more chances to win over the next several years. Only the beginning.
