It’s just fun.

I went to my dentist appointment in a Jack Sparrow costume today. The dentist was dressed as a tooth and his staff were tooth ferries.

It’s just dumb, wonderful fun.

It feels amazing.

I wake up to a quiet, clean house every day.

Oddly enough, the reason why I did the repair myself was that the shop quoted me $400, haha. It’s nice to live in a world where you can fix your own stuff, something that Apple also does their best to prevent.

Apple builds obsolescence into their products on purpose.

If you’d bought a PC, a faulty screen would be easily replaceable. I had to replace my laptop screen myself several years ago, and with a $60 part and ten minutes on youtube, it was an easy repair.

It’s crap.

You can use udm14.org though.

The Fediverse is as close as I’ve gotten to Internet the way it used to be, and I donate to the instances I use in order to keep it that way. I wish everyone would.

Agreed.

TBH, I think that’s why shows have this now. Fear of legal liability.

The obscenely wealthy donate to both parties. Both parties protect the interests of the wealthy.

Hell, there have been two Democratic administrations that had total congressional control over the last sixteen years. The minimum wage is still seven bucks an hour.

I have about five friends I trust implicitly.

I have hundreds of acquaintances I’m around for various reasons, and I like them, but I keep them all at arms length.

I have everything I need.

I’ve had the cops lie about me too. Luckily my case wasn’t so severe. I’m really, really sorry to hear that happened.

My last (and final) relationship.

I was deeply in love, but the other person broke up with me for valid reasons, and then pretended to take me back so they could mentally fuck with me, and it worked.

I’m now a depressive and a semi-hermit. Luckily for me I always liked being alone, or I’d be miserable, but the experience completely changed my personality and I don’t get close to people anymore.

Game: Tie between Dragon Age: Origins and the original Bioshock.

Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street

TV Show: Stranger Things

Book: Man, too many to mention, but maybe The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman.

When 99% of voters pick the two major parties no matter how shitty the candidate, it’s unreasonable to expect meaningful change.

Hell, we’d still have two cognitively-impaired presidential candidates if Biden hadn’t had a nationally-televised meltdown, and those 99% would still be defending their cognitively-impaired candidates.

Came here to say this: The Fediverse is what you make it. If it seems slow, take a few minutes and make some posts every day.

I’d argue that Brave is the best way. The adblock is seamless and requires no add-ons, and you retain the full functionality of the site.

That is a particularly handy feature for older computer games from DOS and C64.

Magic 8-Ball

This time Wilson can kinda sorta actually talk back.

Sure thing, man. Cheers.

Trump’s existence doesn’t make Obama’s health care plan suck any less.

Also: “Your guy sucks as badly as our guy” isn’t the awesome rebuttal you think it is.

(Plus I’m not a Trump supporter.)
