This will be a weekly Sunday hangout between friends, where everyone else is also invited to join in on the conversations. A Sunday party for Hive users to interact and just talk crap about whatever happens to be going on at the time. It might be Hive related, it might be current events, sports, or it might be something else entirely. But whatever it is, it will be in the interest of having fun and evoking laughter, piss-taking, teasing and hopefully, a lot of enjoyment for those involved.

My Sunday is a Saturday as I have Monday off; and if that makes any sense to you, you're smarter than me. Well, everyone knows you're smarter than me already I guess. I'm sort of like Ruprecht from dirty rotten scoundrels, everyone needs a brother like that.
Not much going on here really, did some shopping, bought our nephew a Casino watch for a gift when I see him in a couple weeks, and some other stuff. Made home made burgers for dinner and am about to throw on a few episodes of Seal Team.
Test driving cars tomorrow.
Anyways, good video chat earlier, @smallsteps is looking cuter by the day.
That makes all the sense to me. I don't work Mondays so my Sunday is always a Saturday, a second Saturday!
I fucken knew you'd get it!
Mother fucken titan!
Also, fuck you ya smug cunt and your four day weeks.
I am as smug a big fucksmug McSmugcunt!!
Heh heh 😃😃
I know someone who's exactly the same way.
Becca 🌷
Lol. I bet you do!! 😃😃
🙄
Haha! Fucken cracked me up! 😂
😃😃
Do you work Saturdays, or are you on one of those "four-day week" experiments?
I do compressed hours so work longer days Tuesday to Thursday for eternal three day weekends.
I could never go back to a two day weekend
Compressed hours or depressed hours?
You see? This is why people look up to you and hail your name and why you will go down in the annals of human history.
(Not the anals.)
That's good it's not the anals!!
They can be depressed but that's a whole different kettle of fish!!
Depressed anals...it's a terrible affliction.
That is awesome! This is the way it should be done.
It's rather good. The last time I got a raise I reduced my hours by 2 so I didn't see any monetary impact but work slightly shorter days 😃
My brother ones wanted to be let go in a friendly way to focus on his own business. So he told the CEO: "I need you to double my daily pay." He thought himself so smart. But they just said "Okay." without further negotiation. He said he never felt so dumb in his life 🤣
If you keep going, eventually you will be getting paid to not work.
Why not two Sundays? Having two Saturdays is still a little unrestful. Although, maybe not if you're Jewish. Just searched that, apparently, also the Adventists, Seventh-Day-Baptists, plus some orthodox branches have the Sabbath as a day to rest.
I'm apparently Lutheran (in northern Germany, it's just called "evangelisch"). Saturday is basically another work day where you don't go to work, but still work, anyway. Even or especially if you're hungover. Thought that could've been my mom's household-religion. "If you can party, you can work!" Mowing the lawn with thick head is a teaching moment. She thought. But it just made me more resilient.
Sunday feels too slow of a day to have two of. Where's Saturday... That's a day you can do let's of things. It's an action happy adventure day!
I have mowed the lawn in many a state, lol
It is the same in Finland. Work vacation counts Saturday, even though the work isn't on a Saturday silly! So to get three weeks of holiday, you need 18 days of holidays.
hey, at least you don't need 21 days. Here in Ecuador, they count Holidays and everything. That's why most companies have mandatory vacations over Christmas - you'd have the holiday anyway, but they can still discount it from your vacation.
Oh, I should test drive cars too - not because I am buying one, just to see what is out there. I think I will get an electric car, once there are solid state batteries that are cheep enough.
in 2045
I don't think they are quite here yet. Insurance is ridiculous even on the baby models, and while they are quick 0-60.. top end is shit unless its a Tesla. Can't buy new diesels.. and most of my driving is motorway. I need a flying carpet, with a roof.. for my next vehicle.
I think this might be cultural appropriation.
The roof is most important, it rains here... a LOT.. 😀..
One of the things about not having a car is not having to pay insurance. Health insurance, on the other hand, is incredibly necessary given the driving skills propagated in my home country. And no, they don't have car insurance either, nor accident insurance or anything.
I don't have any choice, its a 30 mile drive one way to work. Trains would take hours, the train network here sucks.
Helicopter it is then! Or an Octocopter. Or a sandworm. Hyperloops? Electrically supported bycicles are the thing here. Or electric scooters, they now do 30miles I think. Or magic. Magic always works.
I'll be dead by 2045, maybe affordable SSB's will be out prior. I read Toyota are bringing out a hydrogen cell Hilux in 2028...I might also be dead by then though. Hopefully not. I think my next "small car" will be hybrid and possibly full EV...not my next truck though, diesel.
Hilus is the dream of many people here. Most have BT60s or DMAX, as affordable country cars. Those who have the Hilux are usually very happy with the performance and durability, but of course, gotta have the money to get one.
Hybrids are getting more common her, but especially full EV. BYD is expanding quickly, even in my little town we have 3 of them now, two SUVs and one small car.
BYD, Chinese junk.
There's a lot of pickups here, all the American ones of course and others. The three top selling cars - I mean vehicles, not just pickups - are the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and Isuzu Dmax. That shows how popular the pickup is here I guess.
Isuzu DMAX is mainly Chevrolet here. The Vitara is represented by Chevrolet, Isuzu and Suzuki here, which is somewhat confusing, but that meddling of brands under the same Umbrella Foundation.
Are there any electricity worries with the EVs there?
We're getting so much rain now that the electricity worries are gone for now. Not that anything changed, in the next drought, we'll have black outs again. But out of sight, out of mind is the predominant philosophy here.
Yeah, it is the blackouts I was thinking of. The grid seems pretty unstable. I think in 22 years in Finland, I have experienced two short-lived blackouts
Would you consider one?
Possibly, depends what the payload and towing specs are like, and the range. Although, the 2026 Hilux is a fucken abomination from a looks perspective.
You should get a Cybertruck then 😜
I'd rather kill myself.
I have seen some episodes of Seal Team as well. I find it interesting that some characters get so used to fighting in wars that in the time of peace it seems that they can't find their place.
The battlefield takes a toll on warfighters and for most the battle doesn't end when the war does, it stays for life.
few months ago I had to go to the day hospital again. One person there during a group talk said that he fought in some war. He regretted having had to kill people to this day. and said that he still dreams about it even now many years later. One thing he was glad about was that he did not kill any woman or children.
Yeah, PTS is a real thing.
It seems that some enjoy this part the most.
Haven't seen anything about it
I'm lacking discipline today. Have a long list of to-does, but I'm reading and chuckling over comments here on this post for 30min now. Slow Sunday here, raining. Lily is with her mom, so I don't have too much pressure.
That burger part sounds great. I got an electric grill from my health insurance, and I still have some patties in the freezer that my brother had brought from Quito during the strikes. Might be a good option... Also, I really have to go now, my nephew-in-law's birthday is in 2 days and we're going to celebrate him at the local brewery (he's 10 or 11... but they have lemonade, too, he'll be fine. He already got cake yesterday. I'm not even sure if he's coming. Anyway, gotta go.)
Hopefully the celebration was good, and you gave the kid twelve beers. 🤣
He got waffles, popcorn, and chicken wings. I got 3 beers on an empty stomach. 4.30pm now, gotta do inventory, and several other chores. That's going to be fun!!!
Waffles, always a winner.
Test driving? New car on the cards?
Yeah, something going and something new coming. I'll fill you in down the track, it's not as straightforward as I'd like; choices and all.
Toss up between a Ferrari, Lamborghini and a McLaren?
A new brand, the McFerrarborghini.
New out of China
Yeah, like so much other trash.
(And Covid 19)
Yola!!
As I find myself in the depths of a soulless shopping mall I have to ask... What in the bloody fuck are these monstrosities?
Are they fruit? Vegetables? Or withered old ladies nans?
Chayote! I didn't even now they exported that "fruit". It's like a weird mix of Zucchini and cucumber, mixing everything but the taste which it doesn't have. Very watery. Can be fried and spiced though, but is mainly used in thick soups and such. Supposedly has some good nutrients, but what fruit doesn't? Wouldn't be my favorite pick.
Yeah, that's the one!! I had never seen it before and they didn't even have a label or an explanation on what the feck it was or what to do with it!!
Isn't a zucchini a weird cucumber or a cucumber a weird zucchini?
Yeah, and now fuse them together and take out all the properties that made each at least a little interesting. Voilà, Chayote! It has all the bad parts, and none of the perks.
Sounds like being married.
Like the cliché of being married, I hope? I mean, I'm pretty happy to be in a relationship over 5 years now. But we just got offered a free honeymoon in a high society compound in La Esperanza in Mexico with a free butler and excessive stuff like that, so we're considering getting married even if it's just to comply with that invitation 🤣
I think they are called "Granny Snatch" apples.
They are quite powdery and have a bitter taste.
Mildewy... Bleurgh.
I like my granny snatch apples a little fresher 🤣🤣
Granny snatches are very versatile. If you start eating from the other end, they are called "Granny Starfish" apples.
I've heard that they are ok to wear even if they are a little brown...
Is any granny snatch actually fresh?
I think that's what a pomade is for. Either that or it is a small french car
Haha, I can see the advertisement now:
"Renault Pomade - Invigorate your grannies snatch."
There's a sentence that should never be uttered aloud ever!!
it looks like it has taken too much steroids.
Sex steroids!!!
Pickled elephant testicles.
A rare delicacy
You guys can have my share. But don't be fighting over it now, you hear me?
I thought they were more vagina'y!
Don't let the pickle fool you.
I know at least one pickle that is tasty.
OMG a talking pickle! This is kind of a big dill. Maybe even a great dill.
I'll relish this moment forever!
Clever.
Becca 🌷
I did that once, I'll never look a pig in the eye ever again
I tried a pickled pig’s eye once. Somehow reminded me of an ancient esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Science and medicine sure have come a long way!
Done people even claim medicine is science! They won't catch me out with that one
I hope no withered old lady on hive sees your comment... their vegetable brains might bear the fruits of a raving comment disaster.
Luckily, women don't know anything about Hive.
Haha, I am quite sure that hive has no old ladies. Just super hive chicks!! 😃😃
Yeah, super chicks with a wealth of experience that beats that of even the smartest young hiver.
Looking for a bull run...
Haha this is funny!
Attention:
I am looking for sugar mommy. She should be 35-37 years old and support my idea of buying few hundred thousand HP. Long distance preferred.
I will not meet her in person before I will get that money.If(once?) I will find sugar mommy I will be also be looking for a sugar baby. This girl should be 25-30 years old. Girls who are interested in being either my sugar mommy or sugar baby can send their photos and CV to me in private messages...I think you are in with a chance!
I wanted to say the first thing that came to mind, but I ruined the moment by announcing it. So I guess I'll go ahead with the second thought — except now I can't remember what it was.
Sundays are hard.
"Sundays are hard"...hmmm. Don't worry you'll remember it by Friday, during the rush hour.
How do you know this? Have you been following me in the future?
Happens to me sometimes when I'm having a learned argument with a friend, then I forget what I want to say next. Only serves to belittle my past "learned" debating efforts.
No I'm not following you in the future but you may catch someone saying the same thing you forgot in the elevator.
I'll use the stairs. Thanks for your reading.
The second thing was before the first thing, so does that make it a negative thing?
You might actually be on to something. Accidental adaptive self‑restraint, perhaps?
If so, Sundays just got a hell of a lot easier.
Probably a good time to start fumbling in my closet through my clothes to find my cleanest dirty shirt.
Is the shirt dirty because it hasn't been washed, or dirty because it says something inappropriate on it?
Laundry events pick up sometime around noon so until then, whatever works, works.
I don't own clothes with inappropriate writing. That's lame.
I did try to wear that one you gave me that said, "Taraz #1"
Wiped my ass with it because I had to go #2 and had run out of shit tickets.
I know Hive is all about giving value through posts and comments, but I still want Hive's price to dive to the moon.** I hope I'm alive to see *hive hit five $, in meantime I'll continue to strive to live up to the platform's standards.
I have so little Hive that I hope it stays low for a while, so that I can hoard some by posting daily. And by posting comments on people posts. First goal is to get 1000 Hives.
That's a good goal. You have to focus more on giving value to others on hive.
Write valuable posts and comments, I mean posts and comments that the readers will benefit something from.
Either they get an idea to solve a problem from your post, or they get an interesting perspective on certain matters, or they get deep insights on certain subjects, or interesting and educative information, etc.
Also read other people's posts and, leave meaningful, constructive comments.
That's the fastest and surest way to build you hive power. I wish you luck on you hive journey. Hopefully, I will be around to celebrate you achieving the dolphin (or even whale) status on hive.
Thank you for your insights! I will definitely keep these in my mind ✌️✌️
Engage and have fun and it will get there :)
Oh I will!
Hell, I would take the $1 price currently haha.
Not yet. Let me hoard some more, first.
Yep.
That's a nice idea.
$5 and I would be able to retire! What are the chances you think?
The chances are slim even in the next five years. Remember in this time of market volatility it could reach $5 and crash to <$1 in an hour or so, but that wouldn't be best for your retirement plans.
If I sell in that hour! ;D
I am here because my therapist said I should engage with the Sunday Funday post.
With so many people in therapy, this could be a good onboarding mechanism!
It would be great for Hive, but not good for therapists. Among such an amount of crazy people, the "new" crazy would feel like they were normal. Maybe rightfully so?
Depends on the target of therapy, too. If it is to boost self-esteem, being a part of Hive is amazing. Everyone feels better comparing themselves to us Hivers 🤣
Perhaps Value Plan could fund therapy sessions for the many insane Hive users? ;D
The impact on both lives and Hive would probably be greater than a rally car. Then again - if the insane become sane, would they still post on Hive? Isn't it the insanity that makes it so appealing? Just take the rally car - what would we be complaining about if it wasn't for some crazy ones voting to buy a rally car?
*With the state of the world, this place should be booming!
Probably, yeah, but that's just the thing - since the world normalized insanity, the real insanity has to become even more insane to even be noticed.
just another manic monday.. i mean.. sunday funday!! :)
It is Sunday here still for 15 minutes.
With the way hive's price is falling, I might become a hive whale soon just with the <$1000 in my savings.
:D
Seems that way.
This is my new business strategy: 1. Sell my kidney. 2 buy HP. 3 Wait for a bull market. 4. Sell some of my HP to buy my kidney back. 5. Repeat this forever.
I guess it's a sound strategy every hiver should adopt...we'd have scores of whales on here in the next decade or so.
Now you reminded me of this speech from Hajime no ippo villain.
I woke up with a lot of energy and an incredibly long to do list. Now I spent the last 19min reading and writing comments here. I know I'm just doing this for the second time, and I heard that usually it takes longer, but I googled the symptoms and it all comes down to a severe addiction based on asymptomatic Tourette syndrome. What should I do?
Sounds like asymptomatic Covid. Super dangerous, but you will never know how close you came to death, because you were completely healthy.
It's more the psychological effect. After self-diagnosing myself, I basically had a severe depression for weeks and couldn't work. But of course the cold and dead and heartless "social" didn't take me seriously, not granting me any financial support! Can you believe that! After working for 3 weeks at Starbucks as a highly trained barrista after a 3h crash course, paying my social security! SECURITY! HAH! It's a scam, all a scam. That's why I came to Hive, because here, there are still generous and good people, like you. I just need another 10 HBD to get back on my feet, I swear, I just need someone to trust me and believe in me, and I will change forever!
As I wake up after all of you, I do have some drama to share.
Most people now convinced that they don’t like hive rally car
So now the talk is can we sell the car and get whatever money that you can get :)
We need to run a poll asking the community if we want to sell the rally car for cash
Also Blocktrades clarified that he votes on a DHF proposal like anyone else. It is not that anyone “sends” him any proposals. And even if they did so, that doesn’t impact his voting. Also, he doesn’t like rally car but voted on value plan as a part of the “marketing package”. Also, I thought this is obvious, but I like to make it clear that Blocktrades didn’t and doesn’t write value plan proposals GP does. He (blocktrades) just votes on them just like the rest of us.
I wanted to clarify the above segment because some people said my previous statement on the topic can be misinterpreted.
That is interesting, so what is the solution beyond selling the rally car? I thought people were unhappy with more than just the rally car? Wouldn't it make sense to remove votes from the Value Plan and have multiple proposals in place of it that give more transparency to the projects and ability to hold individual efforts more accountable and not like the US government works where the bills are stuffed with pork and you have to vote for all or none?
Targeted adverts directed at Elon Musk?
As outlandish as that sounds, I think that has about the same expected success likelihood as the current Value Plan :)
Definitely has a higher reward opportunity.
Solutions?
I mean other than stop wasting money I don't have one.
Well list hive at as many DEX as possible and run numerous liquidity pools. We have demonstrated that it is not hard.
So, since HIVE has fallen since, the car gets sold and in the end the network gets more HIVE back than it paid for it?
We could basically copy @fieryfootprints wealth plan, posted above:
For the car that would be:
The dream!!
Right? And we could make it come true!
Ha! I don't think Hive owns the rally car, just a sponsor right? Though, I suspect that without the generous sponsorship, the car is going to struggle. Is it even competing, are there races, has it won anything? Is it in the RWC or is it in some little rally competition like they have in Finland?
Yeah, I knew this. I don't know who approved the rally car in the first place, and why it got so much support. It is a silly way to get attention, since very few people watch rally!
Hive owns the rally car.
It was mentioned publicly multiple times
Does that mean I get to have a drive of it?
I'm an excellent driver.
You may have to stand in a line.
Oh and have to travel to Croatia. Should be easy for you.
Oh I would travel to Croatia anyway, it's a beautiful country, and the coast! Last time I was there, the roads were amazing, too. But that was around 25 years ago, everything was rebuild with re-construction money after the war in the 90s.
But racing down the coast on those roads in a Hive car? I'd be open for that. In Summer.
Show me the money.
I like Croatia, but is it really worth advertising on a rally car there? Is there a really strong Croatian Hive community because of it at least?
Nop
So, question that I should actually know the answer to, but still can't wrap my head around it. When you say "Hive owns the rally car." - is Hive a company, of which we're shareholders? Or are we all a little bit of Hive? On what name would the car be registered?
LOL, it is a difficult question, and I don't know the details.
Hive is technically not a corporation. But when we do deals, or make physical purchases, I am sure someone signs. So there is something somewhere that is incorporated.
Also people often don't like if you ask these questions. I know I ask them and people don't like me. I don't want you to get there :)
You should be used to it by now :) SL had similar issues, and we are more transparent that our parent chain, so you know about SL foundation. Mattclarke signs for us in the physical world.
"Don't... ask... too... many... questions... especially... if.. they're... valid!!!1!!" Noted. Thanks for the, eeh, explanation attempt 😅 Honestly, I get that question a lot when I talk to people about Hive. From now on, I'll tell them it's like the Fight Club, but the other way around. You do talk about Hive, but you don't ask about it.
Yes.
The first rule of the fight club is "Do not talk about fight club"
Who approved the rally car?
Technically we all did :)
Well 110 voters who voted for the value plan proposal did.
Four votes typically puts it above the return proposal.
Value plan is a bit like one of those "prop" votes in the US, where you vote for one thing, but they jam 25 other things no one wants into it.
Yes, that is the big problem.
I have given my feedback to GP, Crimsonclad and Blocktrades. They all recognize the problem.
However, GP and Crim are not paid employees or contractors. It is hard for us to expect to have them write 10 proposals for 10 marketing initiatives. We know how that goes with Clay at Splinterlands and he is a paid employee.
I also requested numerous times to hire Crim as at least a contractor but I am told by multiple people including Crim that we don’t have the money for it.
We we are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Seems pretty clear to me.
Where will it be and at what time?
June 22nd, 2056, 18:42.27
3 days after my 67th birthday? That can't be coincidence...
There are no coincidences...
Great. Now you're sending me down a whole new rabbit whole. I MUST know what that date means! And I'll find out... one day! At the latest on the 22nd of June 2056.
Excuse my ignorance for not being certain, but I'd like to know where it would be? Will it be through a Discord channel?
Ummmm... when you know, let me know.
You need to read the post carefully.
I've read it several times and I still can't figure out where it says it will be done. Will it be here in the post's comments?
I am not sure what you are talking ab out? Do you think I know when Hive will moon?
Read the entire post carefully...from beginning to end you'd understand. Rushing to the comments without reading the post doesn't pay
People comment for votes - usually thoughtlessly.
I spent my weekend celebrating my great nieces first birthday and trying to avoid looking at the markets. I succeeded on half of my plan.
When I woke, it's only the thought of my wife's birthday on my mind and I'm happy she is a year old and wise as well.
