I definitely learned some pretty good skills in it, so I would personally recommend, though biased.

Learned first aid, fire starting, safe wood chopping, some decent enough regional wilderness survival skills, and had a good amount of fun along the way. Also learned gun safety in a very important meeting we had that probably should have been either a once every year meeting.

Almost made Eagle Scout here. Would absolutely encourage people to join*. There is almost no other organization where you can learn cooking, first aid, environmental science, and many other cool and useful skills that I can think of. At least not for teens. There are definitely a good amount of things I learned that I have kept with me, even if I have never had to use them, especially a very important meeting we had on gun safety.

*obviously vet the troop. You absolutely don’t want to join a troop with homophobes if you or your child are not straight or are trans or whatever.

With enough money, I guarantee anybody could have their copyright stolen from right under their noses.

IDK how controversial this one is, but I’d say Batman Beyond is a near perfect “I am the new Batman” type sequel series. Rather than having a series where it’s all future versions of the villains facing off against future Batman, they either made new villains or reinvented one you never really saw anywhere besides a few old comics.

From what I’ve seen/heard of the non tie-in comics, they aren’t as good, IMO, for the introduction of characters such as a future Catwoman and a few minor changes to some original characters, like turning that one Joker gang member into some sort of hybrid Joker and Two Face.

Very similar reasons as to why I think Loonatics s1 is vastly superior to season 2. Hand me original villains for a series over rehashed versions of old villains.

Occasionally I will use a blank CD or DVD to burn something like a game I obtained through less than ideal means. Otherwise, I tend to use them less than I should. But that would require me to find more uses for them.

I got a whole stack of blank DVDs a couple years ago because the student government at the college I attend was just getting rid of them. Probably was gonna throw them away if nobody picked them up, so I did. Also got some clear, see through sleeves as well.

Edit:

This post also made me remember that an art student used a bunch of discs and a teddy bear in a 3D art piece that gets a negative reaction from me. Every time I pass by it in the library, I hate it, but admit it’s great art considering it gets such a strong emotion out of me.

Have no clue where the “FuzzLord” part comes from. Don’t remember, but I assume the Lord part comes from my high self worth ( probably a little too high self worth ).

Though I can easily tell you where the “Ace” comes from. Used to use it every time a game needed a 3 letter initial or whatever for high scores or just in general. It also works out real well now because of my fascination with safe gambling and randomness.

If I had the money, I would at the very least try Kagi, but for now I’m just surfing with DuckDuckGo using their “noai(dot)duckduckgo(dot)com” link. Auto turns off their dumb “duck ai” nonsense and using their filters to try and hide genAI images.

I also looked it up because I was curious and if the source is correct, I learned that the “noai” part of that link is a subdomain.

I the last few times I have bought clothes from a thrift store, I was ecstatic because on 2 occasions I was able to find a Kirkland brand polo shirt and Kirkland pants. I was especially excited because the pants had a 50% off tag.

I have a high regard to that brand because I associate it with quality.

Closest I came was living like 2 houses away from an undercover cop who was helping deal with a drug lab house in the middle if our block. Never saw them much, nor was I opinionated on cops since I was in maybe 3rd grade when this was happening. So nothing too big. The drug house was taken care of and nobody else on the block were harmed, but kinda fucked since it was a block full of kids at the time.

Nowadays, in that situation, I would do my best to avoid the cops and drug house as much as possible and not get onto either of their radars. Not 100% sure I would feel safe, despite the fact that the bus route I take always has me waiting by a cop building while having had zero incidents over the few years I’ve been taking the route.

If they were actually real and not a movie prop, the one that looks like it has jewels in it. Perfect for popping them out, melting the thing, and selling it all for as much as I can.

Depends on the circles you live near. I’ve never heard any problems in my area, but some places will take something as harmless as a furry con may be and try to convince one of the organizations partnering with the con to pull out, despite getting hefty donations.

Cannot remember the exact con or organization, but happened at least once in the past couple years in, I wanna say, either Ireland or Britain. Relatively innocent enough 18+ only convention had people trying to pull the “won’t somebody please think of the children” card, IIRC, and had concerns about the dead horse stereotype of furries being zoophiles ( untrue* and zoophiles are outed from the fandom real quick if you’re revealed to actually be one ).

*as with all fandoms, there are degenerates that go undetected

Couldn’t tellnyou an age. Remember a singular thing about an old house my grandparents lived in. One room had stairs in it that lead to an attic you couldn’t enter without falling through. I remembered the stairs and was just recently told the attic was basically inaccessible.

Then we jump to who knows how old, both before I was ever in school, in a basement. On a folded out couch bed, playing video games. I also vaguely remember some Kids WB nonsense my brothers and I would watch on an old TV.

Those are basically the oldest memories I can think of, at least that I’m willing to share.

Edit:

I personally find these memories strange that I remember since my memory from before a 2nd open heart surgery I had done tend to be kinda fuzzy and all over the place.
