Comment on Introducing Surfboard for Tildes in ~tildes

Gestures improve the experience on a touchscreen an incredible amount.
Only “criticism,” and I’m not sure exactly how to remedy this - I’ve fat fingered the submit button while commenting multiple times that I had to immediately edit. Between trying to scroll the preview box and scroll the OP below it’s really easy to hit…maybe a settings toggle for clumsy dudes like me that turns on a post confirmation pop-up when you hit submit?
Fantastic work @earlsweatshirt - about the last thing I want to do after work is sit on my laptop more, and Surfboard definitely improves the mobile Tildes experience.

Both my parents are active, they run, hike, bike, etc daily and where they live gives them easy access to that. Plus they’re on a golf course, the view is gorgeous, there’s pools/hot tubs, a gym, fitness classes, restaurant/bar, every club you can imagine for activities, a kiln for my moms pottery, etc.
It’s AZ so plenty of NIMBY, don Cheeto types around - and my parents are quite liberal. That said, it doesn’t seem like many people in their development are actually from Arizona…and two sets of their friends from MN also bought places there, as well as an aunt. Getting old with some of your best friends and family at a nice ass place with tons of amenities seems pretty good to me.

Comment on Why are so many 55+ neighborhoods being built? in ~life
amancalledJayne Link ParentThat’s really good to know. My parents moved into a 55+ in Marana about a decade ago, I didn’t realize it could feasibly be an option for my sister/me if it was needed some day. Hopefully any of...Well, I live in a 55+ community and I'm in my mid 40's. According to HUD law in the USA, 20% of the community population is allowed to be under that age. Or at least one person in the household is to be over the age of 55.
That’s really good to know. My parents moved into a 55+ in Marana about a decade ago, I didn’t realize it could feasibly be an option for my sister/me if it was needed some day. Hopefully any of those sorts of decisions are a long long ways off tho.
Agreed, and I love the green Tabasco that’s being discussed. I don’t really consider it a hot sauce, it’s just a sauce like ranch or ketchup or whatever. If you think of it as just a sauce it’s better - kinda the same as Cincinnati chili, just think of it as meat sauce not “chili” and it’s less awful.
