I haven’t in years. When I had roommates I’d have a desk set up in my room. Nice to have your own space. I’d always put on futurama to fall asleep to. To this day that show makes me sleepy.

The emperor protects tho…

Nothing but love for my faygo drenched, face painted, grimey little buddies!

Yas!!! I was having back problems, told myself “Well old chap, your back is ageing now innit?” Turns out I had a mattress problem. Make sure you get a good frame too.

Lol came here to post that. Fucking juggalos, so gross yet so wholesome…

I got lost in the 40k wiki for a bit. I’ve tried reading the books a few times. They weren’t bad , just not great. Awesome world building, mediocre story telling. Thus far…

I was planning on a NAS home server. I was setting aside money to make the purchases. Prices have forced me out of that little side project for the time being…

I just bought an old dell optiplex, it was surplus from the university. I could take the ram out and double my money. Ridiculous…

I was walking along a scenic trail in my city a few years ago. This particular spot had a spectacular eastern view, so I stopped to take in the last of what seemed to be a spectacular sunset.

It took my moronic ass about 15 seconds to remember that the sun usually sets in the west. So what was that red orange glow on the horizon?

A wildfire? No, I’d have heard about that.

Must be a… Nuke? What else would make that much light that fast. It had blown and I was seeing the burning destruction in its wake.

I spent the next minute or so basically shitting myself. Trying to figure out which way the fallout would blow. Thinking about all the emergency drinking water and food I never stocked. Thinking how horrific a death radiation sickness would be.

I was straight up having a panic attack!

Well then the most glorious blood moon I ever seen came up over the horizon. Huge and glowing orange.

I learned a bit about myself that day. Mostly that I am unlikely to thrive in any sort of apocalypse type situation. And that I’m a moron. Moon was cool though!

Or something…

Of all the conspiracy theories for someone to get stuck on, big foot ain’t bad. I have an uncle who’s a believer, and I just thank God it’s bigfoot and not q-anon, antivac, or something equally horrific.

You’ve never had smallpox.

You probably have never been hungry. Famine used to be a thing that just happened every ten years or so.

You’ve probably always had ready access to drinking water.

There’s always been wars, people doing terrible things. Slavery and genocide are pretty much par for the course whatever the ethnicity/region.

By most metrics this is the safest time to be alive.

But ya, shits pretty fucked still. So I say we all wake up tomorrow and try and do a little better.

Always give up. Never persevere. Lol jk obviously you should write it!

If it sucks who cares? And if it doesn’t then hell ya brother! Besides, writing is like any other skill in that it takes practice. So do it.

Archive It said she lost her home, job and dog. What a bunch of assholes.

No questions in particular as of yet. Still assembling hardware. I’m going for a server built on a NAS

Mint. I’m not a “tech genius” and it was presented as an easy intro to Linux. I feel no need to distro hop, getting by just fine with my little minty penguin thank you very much!

Second this! Been using it for years. Not a single problem. It just works

I smoked weed at 16, more regularly from 17 on. Didn’t have my first drunk till 18. A few beers and sips of wine here and there, but never full on blasted.

If I could go back in time I’d tell myself to stay sober. I never had any huge problems with substance abuse, but it took me to my till my 30’s to realize life was better and more fun with a clear mind.
