  • Find some one who is into fishing and have them bring you with. You probably already have a friend. Fishing is mostly a quiet activity, but there is some socal aspects. Someone to show you how is often much better than books or youtube for learning and there is always someone near any fishing hole that will help. Don’t ask for their “secret spot”, but there are plenty of not secret spots that work just fine. (and secret spots are overrated in general unless the real secret is how you got permission to fish there)









  • As an American I’ve never heard of a place so dangerous that things get stolen from the back at a traffic light. I know carpenters who leave all their tools in the back when they go to bed and never have a problem. Maybe you need to clean up the crime problem in your country. There are pros and cons to a van vs truck. That you come in on one side does not make the other side wrong, it just means you have lack of vision to understand theirs.

    Have you ever tried to rent a truck? I know many people who tried and discovered the place was all out that day. Then when you find one read the fine print - often you cannot haul your fridge in one. Mean while because I own my truck it is there when I need to do something, no thinking required.





  • Kohls doesn’t have it always on sale. They carefully rotate stock each week to half their stuff is up front and on sale, while the other half is in the back at normal prices. The staff will direct you awat from the normal priced stuff - they don’t want anyone to pay the normal price, they just need to have it as normal price once in a while so they can claim to have a sale. (they fear if you buy the normal price you will be mad enough to not come back and repeat sales are worth more than one full price transaction)


  • I finally gave up. iiwant to keep in touch with what distant friends are doing. Finding and sharing memes is not doing something and that seems to be all I ever saw. Some people need to get a life. (unless you are confined to a hospital bed there are better things to eo with your life.) Too bad - I miss the rare contact with those distant friends.





  • I’ve got a couple other spam messages. Nicole is by far the most common, but there have been others. There will be many more in the future as the fediverse is discovered. The real question is what are the devs doing. Not just lemmy devs - mastodon, mbin, peertube… devs all need to do something - maybe at the protocol level.
