my father was this way - i didnt get to know the real him until i was in my mid-late 20's. though i think its great that he can be himself again, there is a bit of resentment that i didnt mean enough to him to stop working for once and interact with me on a human level while growing up.
we arent super close, but we are friendly to each other. having slightly less money by working less and spending more time with the kid would mean you have to find some free things to do... #worth
there has been a meme making the rounds about "if you work really hard this could be you" with a picture of a gravestone saying you worked hard. dont be that guy <3
i turn my pc off when im not using it to save power; i thought this was normal.
im sad my 20 year ild one just died, but we are going to get a heat pump instead of fixing the broken one. the broken one uses the super toxic old stuff (even though it worked very well, it was missing parts, and hadnt been serviced for a very long time, heh)
this was the google agreement; android.
"Waltzing". cool people dance to 3:3
turning on a phone for the first time after purchase forces contractual agreement to be tracked. there is no decline button (at least on my motorola razr+ 2023). i hate this world.
the fine print for their comparison charts said they were not tested equally; they just made up different benchmarking conditions for each card to make a 1st party slide. you are absolutely right on calling out their BS <3
always wait for 3rd party benchmarks. if you are looking for accurate 3rd party benchmarks, gamers nexus and hardware unboxed have extremely good standards for benchmarking (youtube)
i dont have a problem with her being old, i have a problem with her being in congress for almost as long as i have been alive (i'm 40). tag in someone else after a few terms...
i want my wife to earn more than me; she sure deserves it. she has a higher education and a job that actually matters to humanity. i have a desk job that makes computers go beep. its absurd how low her pay is :(
the original article (linked in this article; from The Guardian) is over 8 months old.
a sore called Claire's (usually found at malls) usually has non-piercing costume earrings for pretty cheap :)
i cant even imagine ~1 in every 15 people using linux. that means we all have a chance of knowing someone else irl that uses it. :o
american football fields or euro football fields? please use the standard cheeseburger 👍
whatever you do, dont visit Steam.
im on the other side of this fence. because curtains (im a curtains guy) cover the whole window, i mount them level and let my window look weird. most of the frame is covered by the curtains, so i feel like there is at least some semblance of level somewhere in the house, hehehehe.
sadly, i have to rely on Carrion from f-droid to block everything (dont have a pixel) :(
i bought something that was over $200 for the cat; she prefers the box it came in. i dont know why i try.
