Long live TOOL!

Fucking snowflake crops.

Dem TheoBros gotta get into power to continue their shitty ideas, ya see. Christian values and all that shit.

In all seriousness, these people are fucked up. They have a manifesto that does for family values what Project 2025 does for government, and they will enforce it via policy if they’re given the chance.

• Only lay in bed for sex and sleep, nothing else.
• Make sure your screens are off or have an orange filter for nighttime.
• Toke it up, if you want and it’s legal, about 20 minutes before bed.
• Go to bed around the same time each night.
• and the most important… INVEST IN A GOOD MATTRESS!

Not affiliated at all, just a customer, but AmeriSleep beds have been the best beds I’ve ever laid in! They have just enough give in firmness to avoid hip pain while sleeping on my side, but support those pressure points evenly with your spine.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

I get it, the anger and spite, but you’re not running for president in a country where a portion of the population believes you should be saintly while your opponent spews vitriol any time he opens his mouth. Biden has nothing to lose by removing the gloves, but unfortunately, calling a rose a pig dipped in dog shit while hoping to appease the largest swath of voters is something Harris needs to shoulder. Biden should have never made those comments, at least not until after the election.

I feel the same as you, but we have the platform to voice those things anonymously and without repercussions.

Hey, I’m you and you’re me! I also just turned 40 in late September. Happy belated birthday, ya old fart!

Don’t worry, that’s exactly what these TheoBros and Christofascists want! It’s literally in their little manifesto.

To turn away from the “go hard onto Linux” tropes, try Windows Update Blocker (WuB). I’ve been using it to pick when my machine, as well as friends and families machines, update. Every month or so, you need to turn updates back on by using it and updating the OS, but it can be scripted to enable/disable updates at any time, if you don’t feel like thinking about it. It not only blocks if but protects from reenabling updates by that fucking medic service that will try to turn it back on when the machine is idle.

Be the chaos you need to have in your life!

I’ve let non-verbal pets (my snake, for one) die because I knew I needed to feed them, but my task paralysis prevented me from doing so when I thought of it and my lack of time management meant they could always go one more day.

Man, 2020 sucked major ass. I’m sorry Juno! You deserved better than me.

It is exhausting to live like this. Now, I just have passive SI and am waiting to find out what cancer or terminal disease I have that will claim my life while I slowly eat and sit myself to an early grave.

Never worked food prep but I’ve worked at a handful of help desks in IT. I always felt most comfortable and confident in my abilities when helping to identify and solve “house burning” situations. Is not that I couldn’t lead others in a managerial role, it’s that I know I’d be life you, in the thick of it, and also then have the stress of managing people and the stress of all that!

Psh, that’s for future me to deal with!

What are “benzos”? At first I thought that was Bezos.

If you figure out the motivation thing, give me buzz. For winding down, I found that doing mindless sorting tasks is good for relaxing. For instance, I build LEGO things, my son plays with them and takes them apart eventually, and I sort them back out. One time, I went through my son’s old clothes and made a list of what was in each box. I felt so relaxed after the clothes logging! It was a nice little Saturday!

We are wired differently. “Winding down” doesn’t look the same for us. It’s just hard to find the right task to let our brains relax.

I know. Same. And the music. It’s so good!! Such an intense movie, but so human. The emotion really comes at you from all angles!

Yeah, I saw it all on EWU’s channel. Some quality shit on that channel. Though by their logic, everything I do normally in my day-to-day is a red flag!

Kinda hard to cum without an erection, though, right?

There was a show, Human Giant I think it was called, which was like skit comedy. Aziz Ansari (spelling?) was in it. In the skit, he was talking about rollerblading and I lost it when, with a straight face, he said, “the hardest thing about rollerblading is telling your parents’ you’re gay.”

I don’t run my own instance, but one concern I see grappled with by instances, at some time in their existence, is how to handle image storage and embedding. I won’t pretend to know the options or have opinions on which to use or how to resolve the larger issues, but I see that as a large hurdle to mainstream, in addition to the points referenced by OP.
