My god I don’t miss that life.
I’m a stay at home dad now and sometimes they drive me crazy (right now actually. If I could kick the dogs out it would probably make my life easier. FUCK YOU MR. PISS ON THE FLOOR!).
Even when they drive me so crazy I feel like I’m about to have an aneurysm, life is easy mode compared to IT.
My Computer, Computer, and This PC ain’t my goddamn problem anymore. Woooooohooooooo!
I get it. I left Facebook when they changed the feed like a thousand years ago and I haven’t missed it.
My wife is definitely addicted though. She left it for a year, went back just to check in on family after a friend of hers had a baby and she didn’t know about it. She hasn’t put it down since.
She’s a very family oriented person and everyone is on Facebook. Their family is the type to wake up first thing in the morning and start calling each other.
Within minutes of being up, “Ok kids let’s talk to mamaw. Let’s talk to aunty. Now we’re calling great grandma!” Cousins, aunts, uncles, everybody. They’re always talking.
My family is tight like if something goes wrong, but we don’t talk much otherwise. Sister needs help with a bill, someone’s car breaks down, blah blah blah. We can count on each other, just not to talk.
I get why it means so much to her and why it’s been easier for me. I’ll know my cousin had a kid when I bump into her with it at the grocery store. That’s good enough for my people. :p
I swear I wish I wasn’t so stupid.
I have Roland electric drums and I couldn’t figure that shit out to save my life. I finally plugged them into my old Mac and Logic Pro just did it for me.
I like the neck tie myself.
That was awesome, thank you.
I’m pretty stupid though. That’s why I’m not a scientist. I understand that all of the seemingly magical things I’ve interacted with all of my life aren’t actually magical, but can be understood and recreated by people with the intellect to do it. Take my love of the first 3 Mortal Kombat games (technically 4 counting ultimate) for example. I couldn’t make them. If I traveled back to the 1800s to show them off I’d be accused of witchcraft.
They work though. Someone smarter than me made it happen. Multiple intelligent people worked together to make all of this magic happen.
My ignorant ass needs to trust the experts in their area of expertise. So do the other ignorant assholes.
I don’t understand how all of these morons are out here using tech that they couldn’t come close to understanding, but they’re so confident they are smart enough to understand climate science.
Build your phone from scratch and then come talk to me about something advanced, asshole. That’s all I’m saying.
Makes me wanna rip my head off and throw it.
I was just hoping to be Canadian.
Get Virginia too!
In the early 90s I got stuck at my grandparents’ house for weeks. The snow was so deep that my dad was able to throw us off of a 15ft porch into the snow.
We dug tunnels all around the yard and built igloos.
Every year as a child I made snowmen. Every. Single. Year.
The snowman was standing from December to February.
My wife made a snowman with the kids, it was melted by the next afternoon.
He admitted he didn’t understand the science.
Neither do I. You know what we should do when we don’t understand the science?
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO DO!
I would like to honestly, but I really do know my doctor cares.
About three years ago I lost my insurance and he continued to see me for free until I got it straightened out. He also filled out my paperwork with everything necessary to get my medication funded by the state for free until I got it worked out.
It would be really difficult for me to go against him. He’s 84 years old though, and if he goes before me I’ll get a second opinion then.
Yer mom is a spartan.
There, I’m done!
Man, all the sinks I’ve seen over the years with vice grip knobs haha.
My doctor won’t give it to me because of history of addiction. I told him I’d been thinking of finding another doctor and he said, “should be easy to find someone who doesn’t give a damn about the rest of your health so he can pocket your money. No matter what you say though, my answer is no because I care what happens to you.”
That makes it difficult to even think about it because the man really does care about me and it’s obvious. I wonder if we just have a different view about things, but he’s the professional.
Maybe he’s right though. I’ve been on suboxone for over a decade.
I just wish I could use my brain.
He agrees that I have adhd, but he is afraid I’ll abuse the medication.
I wish I hadn’t put myself in this position, but adhd might have helped me get here in the first place.
I’m good though. I really am. I just wish I could be better.
The steam deck be pretty popular these days.
My god I dread that day.
A gay made me uncomfortable. That was god talking to me, you know. :/
That’s the thing that bothers me most with religious folks.
Their feelings are interpreted as the will of god.
I really needed to read this. Thank you.
I got so worked up today over someone calling restaurant work “entry level jobs for teenagers that don’t deserve 15 an hour” that I almost had an aneurysm.
I’m just looking away as much as possible. This world belongs to the idiots too and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Thank you for the comment. You woke up some peace in my heart.
Man, looked at my bank statement many years ago and noticed several little charges. A few cents here and a few cents there. The biggest one was maybe .80 cents.
My son had fallen for some scam ran by a YouTuber and was buying and trading skins.
I will say though, now that time has passed, some of those skins are worth insane amounts of money. I’d sell them if I wasn’t so stupid sentimental.
My son got in trouble for doing that, but it still takes me back to a pleasant time when I look at the inventory.
