    I've worn (3) Timberland Earthkeepers for a little over 10 years now. First pair were Adventure Trainers (i think?), next were Graydon's, and I just bought 6" Originals. Hoping to get another 5 years out of these shoes.

    The Earthkeeper line is all about sustainability. Maybe its corporate marketing from Timberland, but the shoes are very well made and worked for me as ever day shoes.

    Tried the first option, never felt right.

    Thought about the second option. Little more involved than I want but I'll probably do it one day.

    I do find it funny how so many people have this same gripe as me. At least I'm not alone.

    I always loved the tone of stratocasters. A couple years ago, I finally bought an American made strat. It sounds like everything I wanted.

    But the fucking volume knob is in the worst spot. I accidentally hit it when strumming all the time. Never got used to it, no matter how often I play.

    I now play my cheap acoustic more often.

    I've got 2000+ hours in Slay the Spire. Absolute best game I've ever played. I've heard Mega Crit is working on another game. No idea what it is but I can't wait to play it.

    I've got a 1TB SSD that I put all my games on. When it starts to fill up, I use Steam Mover to move games to the larger HDD. If I want to play them again, I either move them back to my SSD or keep them in the HDD and deal with the longer load times.

    Its faster than uninstalling and redownloading everything. And never had an issue with Steam Mover yet.

    I was in the "need experience" but "entry level job requires 3 years experience" bullshit years ago. It still make my blood boil thinking about it.

    I made it out though. I bet you can too.

    I got a new job 2 months ago and I'm so much happier because of it.

    Use to work in the private industry as a project manager. Everyone was my boss, I was constantly thinking of work outside of work hours, and it just took a toll on me.

    I now work for a non-profit, public owned utility. I'm an engineer thats a part of the IBEW. I enjoy the work more and I feel like my work actually matter since it directly helps my community out.

    Its wild how much a new job can change your everyday mood.
