    Most people who know me think I’m a just swell normal guy with perhaps some offputting vibes. But I was raised under circumstances that would fuck up most people. Turning out well-adjusted, educated, and starting a stable family all basically started as a rebellious phase. I still am gutter trash deep down, but I’ve got a wife and a kid now who I somehow support on a single income working 100% from home. I’ve overcommitted to this bit and there’s no going back. I have to “be a sane human” who doesn’t “sleep in storage units” now. I’ve become a man who “updates underwriters” and doesn’t “dress like a wizard, cast spells in public parks, and barf on the sidewalk”. God help me.

      We’re all faking it, at least a bit. The fact that you care enough about your family to keep your shit together proves that you’re not trash inside.

      You can dress like a wizard, just do it at sponsored events, or with your kids. Don’t barf on the sidewalk, but the wizard stuff is fine, in moderation.

        That stuff is behind me, for now. The fact that I’m a bearded recluse in a tower who makes a living staring long and deep into a glowing piece of glass that is slowly driving me insane is pretty cool though

    I use Linux but can not stand Linux users on here. As soon as there is any conversation about windows there’s a line of people “why aren’t you using linux?!” As if it’s the solution for everything. Linux users have become the vegans of the internet.

      Hey, another Linux user here. I like to push for using the best tool for the job, whatever that might be, and I think more people should.

      I think a lot of Linux users need to understand their solution is often creates more problems than it solves, including for themselves. I’ve been guilty of this too, where if I see a distro solving my current problem with XYZ, I’d switch to it, only for the switch to cause many other problems in the process, so I’m worse off than I started.

      Oh my god this is so me. I get obsessed with getting what I want, and then when I finally get it, I use it a couple times and then abandon it.

      all I need is a knife.

      I don’t get why people see eating with hands as barbaric. Been doing this since I was a kid
