I volunteer as tribute. ✌️

The enemy of my enemy or some shit.

My biggest gripe with my dishwasher is that it doesn’t vent the steam without me opening the door after the wash, and there is no alert to when the wash is done.

Paint him one of orange, blue, purple, or red. Name based on color. If more turtles show up, repeat process. Then once you’ve done this four times, you’ll hence forth be known as Splinter.

Bloody Mary

Yes, the British wore red coats back in the early days of America.

I’m a very lonely person so this is very hard for me to do. I like having people around and not in a selfish way, I do care for people, but I don’t do good when I don’t have someone to lean on.

This is a difficult trait to manage. I fall into this category too, and I have to keep reminding myself that it’s worth the wait to find the right person; something you should take the time to figure out for yourself before jumping into your next relationship.

Don’t forget that you’re stronger than you think. Don’t let the loneliness trick you into doing something you’ll regret. And good luck!

My guy. I hear you and see you. It’s unfortunate the way things landed for you. Keep putting in the hard work. I wish I had more advice for you, but I’m down in the weeds in a similar “friend” situation myself.

I will say this: do things to take care of yourself. Keep the house clean, make yourself bonafide dinners, and treat yourself every now and again.

That’s fair. Going forward I will be more mindful of the rules. Thank you for not removing my post.

There’s an idea I didn’t think of; thanks!

Be it WiFi or atomic, being able to automatically adjust the time (daylight savings) is more than “purely decorative”; at least to me. Until the PtB come to their senses and abolish DST, it’d be one less clock I’d have to adjust twice a year.

As for the rest of it, thank you. I mean that. I love knowing how things work and how they came to be.

ls -l grass

Sooooooo…

1. touch grass
2. chmod 000 grass
3. touch grass # gets error
4. Post meme $$$

I’m curious how you got a permission denied error in your home directory??

I just checked and it is not on by default.

Thank you for the word of warning. Does this affect Windows 10 as well?

For me “it’s complicated”. I live with passive suicidal ideation on a daily basis. Some days are better than others, but generally speaking I don’t want to actually kill myself. However, the idea of being dead does not bother me as it ought other people.

That being said, I do stick around especially for my two sons. I could not bring myself to not be a part of their lives; especially right now as they are 12 and 10. I don’t want to rob them of their father, and I do want to see them through to when they have a life of their own and have their own family (whatever that may look like for them).

As for meaning in life: ultimately everything we do is only for the living. When I die, my life only matters to the people whom I was closest (my kids). Beyond that, who cares right? I have no delusions that I’ll be remembered by anyone else.

But I do have other things I’d like to achieve: find another love of my life, travel the world more, complete as much of my bucket list as possible (e.g. skydiving, bungee jumping, scuba diving, etc).

I’ve always been a “late bloomer”, and if there’s one thing I learned along the way is that there is no specific timetable for living life. It’s your life, and you do things how you want; fuck those Jones’.

Also, congrats! Being a dad has got to be the best thing ever (albeit frustrating at times 😂). You’re gonna love it!! Get yourself a copy of The Happiest Baby on the Block, and start practicing your swaddling. It’ll save both your sanity later.

Boil tea and using that to cook the noodles. Poach one or two eggs with the noodles. Salt and pepper to taste.

I did try that last year, but it didn’t help. I even went so far as getting CBD dog treats, but after the first one it was fairly useless.

I’d go so far as to say she is very stubborn. 🤣
