Just a heads-up, there are activity reports that can be run that will readily show this.

I’m Asian and live in rural Oregon.

I’ve found it on Amazon periodically, but to avoid that, they show up at a local Asian supermarket sometimes.

They’re hot as fuck to me though (I’m kinda a spicy wuss though), like, painful to finish…but tasty. My friend can eat them and barely break a sweat or get flush. YMMV.

I’m a below average height male and on periodic occasion I don’t trigger the motion sensing ones and it’s awkward. Now I typically always just raise my arm and wave instinctively. Not quite jedi gestures, but eh.

This hurts.

I’m nowhere near Bill Gates money and never will be.

I think amongst my circle of family and friends, I probably net 3-4x more than the highest earner I know. For the most part, I can buy myself whatever gadgets or books or food or things I typically want.

But…I don’t, well, I don’t always.

In fact, oftentimes I find myself putting off buying Book A or B because I just don’t feel like it’s a good use of money right now.

Sometimes I won’t even buy myself new socks until all of mine have been worn down to absolute tatters. I own two pairs of jeans and one pair of shoes and they’re going to go until they completely fall apart.

Other times, I want this new game and I don’t buy it because I can’t really justify it for how much time I might end up having for it.

But if anyone I know gets me any of the above or similar, I’d honestly be super happy. It removes that mental battle for me and I get something I actually want / need.

Absolutely the case for me, I had like 5-6 alts, now I use maybe two.

For Visual Studio Enterprise, Adobe PDF editing, native Office apps, SSMS, and RDP thin clients, I use a Windows VM.

I really liked Mint Cinnamon, my only qualm was I couldn’t find a replacement for FancyZones / DisplayFusion for it - if you find something, please let me know!

I ended up switching to KDE and using a plugin I found on GitHub to recreate the functionality ~90% (it wasn’t snappy, quick tiles 2, or krohnkite…those unfortunately didn’t work). But at the moment KDE doesn’t have the same responsiveness and polish that I feel Mint Cinnamon had.

Obligatory…

It was a joke.

But also, holding a shitty toxic job for 10mos took a mental health toll.

But also, I don’t know, in some cases that might be good advice. Since 2020 I’ve changed jobs every 6-10mos and I’m making triple what I made in 2019, so that’s nice.

A job I quit about 6mos ago required monthly changes. It was awful. And, yes, it absolutely led to me just incrementing a number at the end. I knew it was time to quit when I was about to hit double digit numbers.
