My time using a computer and trying to have any semblance of organization has taught me the same

Indeed, one of the few mainstream machines where the smallest of human error, mechanical failure, or hell just bad unexpected weather, doesn’t just bring you to a stop, but a deadly rapid unplanned disassembly. Screw that.

Put a rock in your shoe too. Gait identification can be shockingly accurate.

I feel it. Most of the stuff I care about is random projects of mine, most of which are on github. The biggest downside of me losing my local files is honestly just significant, but not insurmountable inconvenience.

If they’ve gone out of their way to draw attention to it, they clearly do care to some degree, whether they directly express it or not.

Random tangent, my dad edited the system file that contained that message to “It’s not safe to turn off your computer” when I was like 5 and it kinda fucked me up for a bit.

His mom and a couple brothers have come out to visit at least, so I’ve met some of his family. I’m hoping his dad will come out at some point.

I just feel really bad about not going out to their family events and what not. I was actually going to go last Christmas, bought a plane ticket and everything. I went to the airport gate, turned around, and went home and cried instead…

My partner is from Texas. We’ve been dating for a year and a half and I have yet to visit his family…

Freedom, my ass. They never cared about freedom.

I dont understand people’s need to share shit like that.

It’s up there with (though obviously not as private and sensitive as) when people tell you a story about someone they interacted with and just have to make sure you know the skin colour of the person when it holds zero relevance to the story.

I’d be fine with you buying me a beer in their place.

Ehhhhhh, I get what you’re trying to say, but also, yikes?

Well, if it was out of an aluminum can, it would already have microplastics from the plastic liner inside every can :D

How does one so stupid get access to so much disposable income…

It is technically recyclable, but it’s so cost prohibitive compared to just building new that no one really does it at this point. Maybe someday.
