I myself wanted one of those remote controlled air planes. I thought that’s the coolest thing ever. Once I grew up and had the money, I never bought it.
I’m working on it, slowly.
I used to love all kids of weapons as a child. As in, from kindergarten on up. My mom was very anti-gun, didn’t like the idea of me having knives and swords, etc., and my dad went along with it. I know that I put an AK-47 on my Christmas wish list at one point.
I got my rifle, shotgun, and archery merit badges my first year at summer camp, when I was 13.
Now I’m… A little bit older. And I’m still adding to my gun collection. I don’t have as many knives as I want because my wife doesn’t like knives, but she’s fin with guns. I just competed in a match last weekend–I didn’t do very well, but I had a lot of fun, and didn’t do anything dangerous!–, and I’ve got another one coming up in 3 weeks.
I still don’t have an AK-47 (or any other Kalashnikov variant). But that’s mostly because it turns out that they’re not really very good.
EDIT - I took longsword classes for a while, and loved them, but the closest HEMA to me now is about an hour and a half. Oh well.

Any reason why? This is a strange view to me.
Man I’m a gun nut in my heart but there is no way I can buy an actual gun since I have mental illnesses. I couldn’t get into armed security because of that despite my doctor writing that I’m “stable”.
Other than that I mostly got all the things I wanted because I didn’t really want much. The only expensive toy I wanted was a proper RC car and a PC but I bought those both with my own money that I had saved. I was a frugal kid.
Utterly ashamed to see Finnish plates on that. Hope you get taxed to death on it 😂 There’s simply no need for such a horribly polluting machine like that

I’m a contractor. It’s my work truck. Hauling lumber and cement bags with a corolla is a bit difficult.
Builders with vans and tippers laugh at you behind your back 😂
Edit - lmao he changed the pic to show how the stuff he occasionally transports doesn’t actually fit in his tiny-penis truck 😂😂😂😂
Buy a van you plonker 😂
I got myself a Gameboy colour yesterday. I posted about how expensive they were a bit ago on reddit and I got spam downvoted by a bunch of Scalpers lmao. Another reason not to use Reddit. I got a blue teal one and grabbed some games today and it felt so amazing to feel and see in real life, a gameboy game.
Inside every person there is a child that never got That One Ting™, and on behalf of that kid I say; do it!
Good news - you still can!
Seriously, open a new tab on your browser NOW and jump on eBay or whatever and buy it. Even if you aren’t surprised by how much fun it still is (which you probably will be), you’ll be able to stop regretting NOT having it. No downside!
