  • Sure. Like if you enjoy doing that stuff it would be totally worth it I’m sure.

    There is a particular kind of person who prefers setup and config to doing anything with a computer, and it’s hard to hide my disdain for that sometimes but that doesn’t make it wrong. It also doesn’t mean I’m doing anything with a computer. We’re biased towards ourselves, I get that.

    Like, we just put a dog down so I was thinking about my own mortality and how much time I have in life. It’s not a lot, and the idea of making sure an email address is functioning today sounds like hell.

    I’m leaving the original statement up because I don’t think enough people walk back hasty statements online.





  • My grandpa was always really interested in whatever I had going on, especially when I didn’t think it was worth celebrating. We spent a lot of time golfing together when I was a kid and he taught me a lot about staying calm and looking at me today vs yesterday instead of me vs where I wish I was.

    Everybody we ran into seemed to really like being around him. We used to play with a lot of people we rolled up to on the golf course. I try my best to be someone people are happy to see; like they were for him.

    I miss him but I carry so much of him inside I feel like I can still hear what he would say. I hope I can be as important to someone as he was to me.










  • So being high all the time is remarkably similar to being sober all the time because your brain adjusts to what you throw at it.

    I took 10 months off and I just read a lot of books.

    Everyone is different though. You should probably try avoiding the internet news and try interacting with people in real life. People are pretty cool when they’re not a vague description of bad behavior from a stranger online who wants you to believe an entire category of people are bad.

    The news literally exists to make you anxious at this point because it drives engagement.

    The fucked up thing is you can know this and still not be able to stop compulsively reading it.


  • We have a lot of two lane roads where I grew up. My parents used to have this Buick sedan that took diesel. To pass a slower car my mom would make sure there was nobody coming the other way for as far as she could see, then floor it and tell me to pray.

    Whoops I guess I didn’t drive that. Worst car I’ve driven personally is probably a Volkswagen scirocco that had been in storage for years. It was a stick so I had to keep the clutch in with one foot and have my heel on the brake and toe on the throttle just to keep it running at a stop sign.

    Don’t worry babe, I’m gonna start my big project just as soon as I get my computer set up exactly, perfectly, precisely the way I want it. I need to reach out to others to accomplish this. Once I have the perfect Linux experience I will be able to start my big project and then you will see my true value.
