Everyone knows that if I want something, it had better be useful or meaningful. Anything less, I’m discarding.

XMas just makes me feel exhausted and wishing it’d be over. I’ve steadily grown less and less festive over the years. I just can’t get that worked up, every year, over any holiday. And XMas is the worst of it because it’s everywhere all around you. You can’t go anywhere or listen to anything or talk to anyone without it ever being brought up.

I’m tired of the pressure to buy this or buy that. I’m tired of this month long pause with people because of how hyperfocused they are to celebrate a holiday that’s been so tainted by capitalism that any spirit left over has been drained.

Grow up and stop being a sensationalist.

To be quite honest, I’ve not made a single bit of effort in making a will, nor have I decided on life insurance nor have I made any arrangements to heirs or anything else. My family is beyond trusting, to me, so that is entirely out the window regarding them. And another thing is that my ‘retirement’ plan is a plan of permanence at my own discretion, so the thought of making a will or having life insurance is on the bottom of a priority list.

My main concerns when I decide my time is up, is where I’m going to be and how much I want to leave behind and for whom. That’s pretty much it.

I’ve not recalled an instance where employers go through your social media. First, it’s none of their business and second, they don’t even know where to look because I haven’t shared or told them. What they should be concerned with is whether I’ve committed any crimes or if I have anything that jumps out at them that makes them consider or not consider me. Social Media should never be a determinable factor.

Any dumb and vaguely open-ended advice. Like “just be yourself”.

What if you’re improving yourself because the real you sucked? Do you just give that all up and return to what you were? Whoever first said that piece of advice, obviously didn’t think it through enough.

Republicans.

I really do not see what the point of them are and I don’t really taste what ‘benefits’ they claim to provide. They’re almost required for a lot of baking and cooking needs. However, I’ve found that sometimes, they can be avoided and the food will turn out fine on it’s own.

Vegetable, Canola, Peanut, Sunflower .etc don’t look or sound healthy to me. I instead use Coconut.

Owning my own home. Most of us are just going to be renting for the rest of our lives.

I think the bigger issue with the entirety of Linux as a whole is, getting everyone on the same page to make a distro that everyone can use and not be intimidated by. There’s a distro for everyone, but there are still obstacles in some distros that people are going to run into, that’ll make them turn back to Windows.

Whether it can’t run a game they played, run a piece of software natively, driver support and maybe even features they thought were best suited on Windows than Linux.

Everyone is an asshole. It’s about how big of an asshole you are or can be.

You’re irredeemably an asshole once you’ve assaulted someone, have had a very lengthy criminal history, raped someone, sexually abused someone, abused children, abused any positions of power, murdered someone and any other heinous criminal activity I’ve not listed.

There’s just simply a point of no going back.

Pretty much everything. Either I’m driving or I’m not.

That’s pretty entitled.

Yes I do, what you don’t understand, is the society we’re in.

UBI is a great system, but I would want it heavily regulated. Because you just know and it’s the truth, that a lot of people will sit on their ass all day and take advantage of it. This is a system that should be for those who’re actually struggling.

And I say this because I’ve heard stories and seen it first hand, of people lying on documents and forms to get benefits that they don’t deserve. You cannot introduce and incorporate UBI with the mindset that nothing can go wrong - because it could, if it’s unchecked.

I take downvotes as an admission of guilt to my observations, thanks.

Which is why I said he was advised to resign. If nobody got into his ear to tell him, he’d probably be figuring other ways to avoid or make it so he can’t be convicted.

I’m immune to FOMO and feeling the need to be part of the ‘in’ crowd.

I was one of the first groups of people to adopt the internet as a user, so I and so many others around with me, all saw the Internet become what it became today. And I’m not impressed a single bit with what’s become of it. But we can tell you how long some of the bullshit has gone on for.

Richard Nixon.

He could’ve been stubborn and fought with everyone about how much of a crook he claims of not being for years. But, he knew he was in the wrong and took the advice to resign.

At that point - you mind as well hand wash the dishes.

Ubuntu has gotten fairly pretentious in it’s nature. I remembered it being like one of the best distros to use. I’ve fallen off from Ubuntu since 11.10 though.
