Try if you must, but as a guy after 10 years on and off these dating sites I just completely gave up. It’s like a constant attack on your self worth and for me I just ended up feeling absolutely pathetic and worthless. I’m still lonely but I feel better than getting ignored constantly and literally only getting likes/messages from bots that want to scam you.

In that 10 year span I went on maybe 6 dates total…

One of these centuries I need to go and start… thinking… about maybe possibly one day getting the information about someone I might eventually call for a diagnosis. Eventually… Lol

I keep seeing meme after meme and I just rationalize it like “ok, but I’m sure it’s not exclusive to ADHD” over and over and over and over lol as it stands I’ve been listening to “chasing daylight” from a game I play for like the last week…

Quitting my previous job as an HVAC service technician. The pay was way better than I’m making now and it probably was a mistake, but I was miserable every single day…

I had no set schedule and my weekends weren’t my own because I was almost always on call. I live in an overpopulated area so every day was just sitting in hours and hours of traffic which just adds to the length of my day, there’s no 9-5, it was “if I need to be at X by 8 then I need to leave at Y” and the day wasn’t over until the work was done. Then add on the hours of traffic and worst case scenario pull into the driveway and get a call saying you need to go back out… Then there was the wonder of never knowing what’s coming up next. Start in Connecticut, ok next call is in Brooklyn NY… Ughh… Ok done in Brooklyn, ok surprise now go to NJ! Ughhh…

Now I work in a factory doing 8-4:45 and it’s so much better. I know what the day will bring and I know when I’m done. I’ll just never be able to afford a house lol

Finally! I’ve been holding out for years waiting on steam to release a new VR set, time to finally get one!

Grok- “It was THE JEWS!”

Hey I got one too! I deleted it, but as I always do I thought of a funny response 10 minutes later… I should have replied with “I’m honored to have been considered and I hope to prove my worth. My mail details are [email protected]!”

I’m fairly convinced he’s building it because he has no intention of his regime being over. It will be passed down to his son as the next Reichful ruler. :/

people who don’t even seem to invest are the ones worrying about it. I can’t help but wonder why that is.

If I had to guess it’s probably because those people, like OP and myself, have very limited funds so losing that investment is losing “everything” and putting them back to having nothing.

Having a very inadequate income makes losing your investments tremendously impactful as you know it will take many many many years just to get close to whatever level of investment you had before. We’re counting on years of growth to make it something worthwhile, but if we get kicked back to nothing then by the time we catch back up to where we were the amount of time left to invest and grow is so much shorter.

Yeah I keep up on those too. I was just mentioning unexpected things outside of normal car maintenance that I had to do.

I absolutely love hearing a woman speak with a French accent. Second best is an Australian accent.

While it hasn’t paid for itself yet literally, getting a hybrid electric/gas car has been amazing. I only fill up roughly once a month and it costs ~$20. I’ve already had it 6 years and the only thing I’ve had to do is bring it in for the occasional recall notice for system updates.

Nice update!

…open O&O shut up and disable, disable, disable, disable. Sweet.

It became “my thing” around when I turned 19. I had previously been exposed to a bunch of conspiracy theories that I never really bought into by a friend and in trying to learn more about it all I ended up following politics more, eventually learning my way out of the conspiracy land and instead watching the decline of the US for myself instead of having some internet weirdos say it’s the Jews or the annunaki…

It’s unfortunately more of a sick addiction now, I feel like I need to follow what is happening even though it just makes me extraordinarily depressed, seeing how no matter what we as a population will always be lead to make the wrong decisions and how there are so many people that revel in hatred and inflicting pain on “others.”

The more I learned about politics the stronger my support became for my candidate:

I sing songs to my cat, usually remixes involving “my wittle kitty” or “monkey monkey cat.”

I’m a “grown” man almost 40 I swear. Lol

I’d second Mint suggested below. I mentioned this on another thread today, but if you’re really concerned about being able to play whatever games you want then just dual boot (use a secondary drive for Linux, not a partition) and upgrade to Windows 11 then install O&O shut up as it will allow you to disable all the telemetry and AI bullshit then just search your installed apps/programs for one drive and delete the app.

I use Mint for everything except gaming. It still runs a lot of what I tried with Lutris and a little tweaking, even got a game working where I just dragged the fully installed folder from Windows over to the Linux drive, but I have some things that work better on windows so I just neutered windows and only run that when I want to play something.

I switched to Linux mint for most of my daily stuff but I did upgrade to 11 for games that Linux can’t run. I just installed O&O shut up to disable all the AI and analytics bullshit and deleted one drive.

Antifa has been branded by the GOP as a group that does not follow a specific ideology purely focused on fascism, they’ve been marked as a “dangerous, violent, leftist (important point) group.”

The politicians are using the antifa boogyman as a political tool and the MAGA supporters are just opposing a group they see as “leftist terrorists.” In their eyes it has nothing to do with any kind of “legitimate” resistance to fascism so they’ll outright reject the notion that being against Antifa means your for fascism.

They’ve been conditioned to absolutely loath anyone on the left with the most pure burning hatred, so in using the qualifier “leftist” in their description they invoke the thought terminating process, leftist means you hate them without thought, and antifa is now a label you can put on anyone you want to persecute. The “base” may have been conditioned to despise “the left,” but I think we’re still at the point where the right can’t simply say “we’re arresting them because they’re Democrats that are protesting our actions” so they need this “dangerous terrorist group” to exist as the enemy.

As others have said it seems to be great. I made the switch to Mint a month or so ago and while I haven’t tried anything multiplayer, any game I tried on steam worked fine. I even used Lutris to get some games running that I acquired… 🦜 🏴‍☠️… and they worked as well with a little tinkering.

I was even surprised to see I could transfer an already installed game folder from my windows drive over to Linux and then set up lutris to recognize it and it worked as well! I’ve been pleasantly surprised with it so far, I’d say dual boot (using a separate drive) and test it out!
