This. Don’t ever let anyone ever convince you that you’re an NPC in your life. You may not be someone else’s main character, but that’s okay. You are yours.

~Believe me when I say there is nothing more debilitating than losing your sense of self in your life.~

Codeberg is not just for static websites. It’s for FOSS projects. Their FAQ addresses this.

It’s a trade off. It’s not easy either. Even when I was married and had a partner that could tag in and help me out. It’s much harder now that I’m single and I no longer have backup. It’s not like there’s an instruction manual either; each kid/situation is distinct and different.

But you know what, there are moments (more often than not) when they do or say something amazing, and it feels like the world is not such a bad place after all; because of them.

It’s not perfect. We sometimes get mad at each other. But that’s any relationship; it’s love. And I wouldn’t trade it for any amount of money in the world.

Given the rate of inflation, and shrinkflation, I don’t think it’s economically feasible for many people to survive on 65% of their income. At least, I couldn’t. Especially not with two young boys who need clothing, a metric ton of food (and growing!), plus sports, etc. nope. I’m stuck n indentured servitude for the rest of my life.

Oh god. It’s Reddit all over again. 🙄

Personally, and take this with a grain of salt, I feel like you’re overthinking it. Everything at some level is just an abstraction of something else. So what. Dimensional exist whether you acknowledge them or not. 🤷‍♂️

Amazon emailed me to let me know my prime invite (I’m not the prime Prime member) is being cancelled next month, so I have to get my own prime account. And then Spotify emailed about their greedy-ass decision to copycat Netflix and restrict account sharing between different locations.

Timing sucks for me because my health insurance plan is tripling and the state took away my cell phone allowance.

Thanks, Trump!

Changing the original intent versus submitting patches?

Exercise barely burns any calories compared to the calories burned through your daily activities, like breathing, moving around, etc.

Think Mark, think! If you need on average 2k calories to maintain your current weight, that means your body is already burning 2k calories a day for you doing nothing extra like working out.

What working out really helps with (aside of “increasing strength”) is to keep your body in motion and flexible. When your body is in motion it will ramp up your metabolism throughout the day (comparatively to a sedentary lifestyle).

Also, you have a default level of strength that does not need exercise to maintain. So if I can lift a 40lb bag of dog food with ease, then I can keep doing that regardless of I work out. Now, factor in that if my job was to load and unload 40lb bags of dog food every day, I’d probably get stronger just because my job is my exercise.

Sorry for the rambling, but my point is that there is so much more to being fit and healthy than simply exercising (and I imagine super heroes do all those other things too by way of their “job”).

Any tips for moisturizers that don’t leave you feeling even greasier than before you showered?

Honestly, sometimes using just water is fine and good for your skin since soap dries it out.

Who suggested major manufacturers 3d print their parts? That’s not what the analogy said at all. But hey, make your own shit up if that makes you feel smug and superior.

Um. You do know that people already print screws using materials like metal and nylon, which are what a lot of screws are already made out of. Just saying. 😊

Edit: people even 3d print guns.

And one week before my 29th birthday.

Can we take a moment to recognize Good Guy™ Rick Astley for never copyright-striking his Never Gonna Give You Up videos. He is a real hero.

Happy belated birthday! I hope it was a good one.

Ha! I got ya beat. Barely.

It’s my understanding that docker uses a lot of fuckery and hackery to do what they do. And IME they don’t seem to care if it breaks things.

At today’s interest rates and inflation, this is the only viable solution.

I’m so sorry to have done that to you. 😞
