he and I are quite different people and have opposite hobbies. this year is our two year anniversary and I really have a deep craving to give him a birthday present that will excite him to the highest extent. I have a few ideas but I love to get multiple gifts.. my budget will probably be 500$ max.
he and I play pool together weekly and his cues are a little shabby, i’m considering getting him an expensive cue. i’m unsure if i’ll be able to afford the best one for him and am considering waiting for christmas.
he has some hobbies I don’t know much about, such as..
brandon sanderson books like the storm light archive and fantasy books like the wheel of time, he’s read them all and rereads them often, he requested bumper stickers at some point so i’m planning on that, but if any of you know more about the series could you recommend some presents?
magic the gathering (I literally know nothing)
baulders gate three.
he played the new star wars game with ian from shameless (i’m so sorry idk the actors name) and raved about it.
he has a ps5 but i’ve gifted him lots of accessories for it already…
his favorite colors are red and black and he is quite alternative. he likes rock and rap and such.
we enjoy cards, pool, anime, food, and minecraft.
he’s truly the love of my life and I want to surprise him this year!
Turns out the Hill Country which is 2nd in the nation for winery economy is just a really lousy grape growing region. Most of the grapes grown on the vines you see are only there for show. One vinery had dozens of acres of un-netted grape vines. Not netted because the owner does not like how it looks. He expects to lose 75% of the grapes to predation and disease. He does not care because the grapes for his actual wine comes from Lubbock. The wine actually produced from locally grown grapes is probably going to be terrible, but I admire those vineyards that put in the labor intensive work and make an effort. Texas universities have started to work together to engineer a sturdy grape that can reliably grow here. The oldest Texas winery Llano Estacado is located in Lubbock.
How many of you who previously thought "Grieve management into submission" had a good ring to it. But "Grieve management to dust" kinda makes me think bumper sticker.

I am a first generation, Australian born to Vietnamese immigrants, raised in a Vietnamese community. I understand that Vietnamese immigrants prefer the striped flag as it represents and symbolises their history and heritage.
I have seen online posts and images of Americans* with the confederate flag, and there seems to be a certain demographic where the confederate flag is a big part of their personality/character. It's a significant symbol (and possibly an indication of their political alignment), and plastered as bumper stickers, clothing, flags and propaganda for freedom and rights(?).
In comparison with the Vietnamese striped flag: What's the situation with citizens living in Vietnam? Are there citizens who use the striped flag to support/justify/symbolise their political alignments/ethics? What is the consensus about the striped flag in Vietnam and what does it symbolise? What are their thoughts on immigrants around the world who still stick to the striped flag?
*I don't know much about this demographic of "Murrica" other than from memes and some recent political events. So perhaps even my understanding of it is skewed and biased. Will kindly accept education and knowledge on this.
tl;dr - people use the US confederate flag as a symbol for "murrican rights" and are often of a certain political alignment. Is this the same for people who use the striped flag in Vietnam?
