Only when forced to by the phone breaking, switching providers, or, as in the case of my last phone, when they shut down a network (2G).

All parakeets are parrots but not all parrots are parakeets.

Eclectus are gorgeous. The males are emerald green with orange beaks. They have the most sexual dimorphism of any of the parrot family.

Just a nitpick, that bird is not a parakeet. It’s a female eclectus parrot.

There are a number of parakeet species so referring to a bird as a parakeet isn’t specific. The most common parrot kept as pets are budgerigars, or budgies. Which is the one I think you were referring to.

Parrots being a special interest of mine I had to drop this on impulse.

I’ve bought three versions of NMS over the years due to platform changes and at one point a snapped disc.

Hello Games also has other titles and they’re a small dev team. They’re an example of what game companies could do if they wanted to, rather than strangling the player base with microtransactions.

The only purpose to life is to live it. Beyond that, you have to find the meaning that suits you for yourself.

I don’t struggle with it. When the end finally comes it will bring peace the likes of which I’ve never experienced. Life’s been hard and as I age, my body is breaking down in little annoying ways that add up into a larger annoyance. The only thing I fear about the end is dying in pain.

Thank you. The other one had an emergency vet visit yesterday and I’m waiting nervously for her usual wake up time to see if she’s still alive.

One of my birds died a few months back and I cried in terror for the other one (who is still sick on and off). Up until then I thought all my tears had been burned out by a 15 year family court struggle with my abusive ex.

It’s one I gave myself: I told my adult and nearly adult sons this year that we aren’t doing Xmas anymore because we’re atheist and anti-capitalist and as a holiday it is counter to our beliefs. The kids didn’t care and I’m off the hook from now on. Best Xmas gift ever!

I had tendonitis and was getting injections in my right thumb and discovered custom controllers which has taken a lot of strain off my hands and extended my gaming life. They’re pricey but well worth it. I also found a coupon via Honey for 80 bucks off the one I ordered from AIM. Well worth looking into if you’ve got arthritis or other hand issues.

I’ll be 59 this year and have been gaming since Pong. They’ll pry my controller from my cold, dead fingers. Also, I’m a woman as is the circle I play with, who are also all older women (45+). We do exist and couldn’t give a fuck about what society thinks about it.

Better gaming than just being a potato watching TV every spare minute with no other outlet.

Gaming’s been shown to help prevent dementia because it keeps the brain active.

Consider that the women that you’ve been trying to date that don’t appreciate gaming just aren’t the right partner for you.
