Prior to buying our house, the longest I had lived in one house/apt for the past decade was no more than 2 years. After being in our house for a year, it legit felt weird to not be packing up our things and getting ready to vacate. It was amazing to not have to go through the stress of finding a decent place at a decent price and then moving. It also felt so much better knowing how much some of my friends pay for their Apts and that my mortgage is cheaper than their tiny ass one bedroom. And that my monthly price isn't going to increase next year like everyone else who's renting and needs to renew their leases. Yeah, we're the ones who take care of our own maintenance and yard work. But everything we've done so far would be things that we would have taken care of ourselves in a rented house.

The responsibility is more yes. The decrease in stress in regards to finding a new place to live constantly, the general stress of moving, and not having a place that you can legitimately call home has made us feel like this has by far been the superior choice.

Omg! I remember watching that documentary when I was much younger and thought it was absolutely real and was shocked that I had never heard anyone else talking about it. Then... I found out it wasn't actually real and to say I was pissed off was an understatement. I haven't anything from discovery channel since.

On and off rain here in my part of the south and constantly cloudy skies. Won't be able to see a thing either. :/

Another downside with smaller companies is there not always room for you to grow or move up.

When I made the switch I was shocked at well it blocks ads. It still surprises me to this day. Yeah, it takes a little longer to load, but I couldn't care less.

This is what I do. On the rare occasions I need to print something, I just pop down the street to the library and do it there.

Or remember when it "felt like" - 50° F for two days straight that one February?

I've actually been super pleased with Liftoff so far of the 3 apps I've been using. I feel like Sync would have to bring a lot more to the table for me to switch at this point. Though, I am excited to see what new things each developer will bring to the realm.

Agreed. I've been trying to rotate between Jerboa, Liftoff, and Connect and I just keep floating back to Liftoff for now. Finding I like the UI the best at this point and I've also been experiencing less issues with it as well.

But excited to see how they all continue to develop!

What a huge display of incompetence. And I can't say how im even remotely shocked with how Musk managed to get a deal like that and push out any other smaller company from even being a participant. Such a mess.

Once people on reddit start noticing the decrease in content or the increase in reposting bots, there'll be more movement towards here. We're still in our infancy and working through massive growing pains just dealing with the current influx of people. We just have to give it time and also make sure that we're participating in communities.

Makes me so uncomfortable too! Just looking at it skeeves me out.
