Video Games, friends and my dream of buying a sailboat someday to sail around the world.

As the shortest person in most Basketball games during my childhood, I would have loved this so much! I enjoyed the game very much, but I always had to work twice as hard as my taller friends.

If Reddit pulls these kinds of moves two more times or so, I'm 100% certain Lemmy will have all the niche communities you'd ever want. This place is much better!

Good luck turning off the corporate AI's scraping your data from whatever websites you use to profit off of it!
