If you are exposed to lies and manipulations a lot, maybe you developed a defence mechanism against language.

I have, and for example my boss loves to fist-bump me and compliment my work. This means nothing to me because I know he’s a POS scum human through his actions.

My aunt is one of the loveliest people in the world, yet she let slip once that she befriends people because they’re useful to her. She’s nothing but smiles and good gestures, yet it’s only to use and discard you, as I’ve observed throughout her life. She meant it. Thanks, wine.

My father is in jail for basically being Andrew Tate.

Compliments can be real, and they definitely feel more real when they’re still expressed behind your back, but from my experience humans are generally playing a shitty social game. That’s why rude people are so great - you’re actively putting yourself at a disadvantage in our relationship just to express yourself? Fuck yeah, preach your feelings buddy!

I’m the wanderer.

Terrible story, I went to a foreign city with some friends and got black out on tequila for the first and last time. Apparently I left our motel without letting anyone know to go perform urban parkour. I somehow failed to clear a 2nd floor jump and based on the imprint in my one shoe, landed entirely with my right heel. Clean break.

My phone log showed that instead of calling anyone I was with or maybe medical assistance, I tried to call my boss 3 times before giving up entirely. I only have memory of some nurses later asking if I wanted to go to a hospital, but I denied them and slept it off. Guess I was found eventually, lol.

That looks really fun to me but damn, that souvenir store doesn’t have any chill if they’re only stocking [HARD MODE] puzzles.

Interesting, so to escape the Texan jungles I’ll have to change the transmission before Gustav gets back.

I do get the option to kill Gustav when he arrives, but it’ll become very hard to work on the transmission and escape with a busted wrist… I’m not sure if I’ll survive tbh, I struggle to change a bulb, let alone blow a croc/gator’s brains out, let alone change a transmission.

Mayhaps. My brain becomes mush when multiple people talk to me, so all the laptop information in my brain disappeared. I awkwardly followed the conversation and ended up buying what was suggested since the only thing on my mind I could think was “I need a laptop”

I was looking for a little notebook. I needed something for work that was very portable, but this is clunky and heavy. Good for thwackin’ I guess.

I normally buy online just to avoid this, but I wanted to check out the local store for convenience. It was an ambush I’m telling ya!

Livin’ the fool’s journey :')

That sounds fun, but I was (and still am) an idiot and locked myself out on the bios. I’ve reset locks on bios before, but as I’ve discovered recently, Acer found out you can charge people for the privilege instead.

At that point, I’ll simply use this as a learning experience and continue exploring Arch. Another bevi of copium for me, please.

No, I believe soul is an abstract concept we like to define with our ego after misinterpreting a bunch of ancient people with a unique writing style that doesn’t translate well into our age.

I found exploring alchemy better defined what the soul meant for me.

Eww, removing Windows was the first thing I did. It’s running Manjaro and was my first jump into Linux actually.

Revive? No, but it’s the life support it needed.

My $500 laptop I panic bought after an employee started talking to me

It’s incapable of anything and stutters when I start Firefox. I have a freebie laptop I got from Telus 10+ years ago that runs better than this off-the shelf laptop.

I couldn’t in good-conscience sell this to make my money back either… sigh… at least it keeps me focused on work…?

Ryu has always been my preference <3 never liked the Yuzu interface for some reason.

So I’ve been told, but I’ve always done best with brutish force. I’m very habitual, so I don’t want to put myself into a position where I may end up drinking more coffee.

I had a sip of some non-caffeinated coffee once and it tasted bleh so I haven’t bothered looking for alternatives. I’d rather play mental gymnastics in my own gym, if that makes sense.

What’s some good tea to look out for?

I’m trying to cut out coffee and tea is one of my weaknesses. So soothing…

But the whole point for me is to avoid caffeine entirely, so resist I must. And if I may quote the comic,

IT FUCKING SUCKS

BC budtender. My managers are out-of-touch crazies that enabled tipping (5%/10%/25%) because, ‘they feel bad we don’t make much money’, paraphrased.

That’s great, love hearing that from my lake-house owning mega-rich hippie manager, but I’ve already posted a rant here about how my month’s wage of part-time work is easily paid in a day of work with their ludicrous profit margins. 50% on cannabis where I saw 30% in the liquor industry. They can pay me a livable wage, they choose not to.

I have compounding evidence that they’re shitty people wearing masks of integrity and compassion and I hate it.

Greed sucks :(

Early access paranoia can finally be shared by all~ Yippeeeeeeee

An iconic style I’ll recognize even when it’s just two plants

I was wondering how to do this last night

I have some suspicions the kitty one is a little less wholesome considering their origins

I’ll be checking this out later, thanks for sharing!
