Not true. In Japan you are often guilty until proven innocent—they can hold you for almost a month for an accusation alone.

America, The United States Of.

The solution to world problems is to dress like it’s the 1970’s.

We clearly went to different kinds of colleges.

But if it’s just about conquering an ordeal, then there should be more variety. I’d rather kill Madusa than sit through a 4 year degree.

It’s impossible to understate how much everything hurts.

Well, then, pro tip: take an allergy pill, it will keep you from itching too much on your first go.

If Mythbusters taught me anything, the right answer is to blow it up.

I see now, I missed that qualifier.

If anyone out there is considering heroin, I’d highly recommend giving it a pass. It makes you feel fearless (William Burroughs called it being the “de-anxietized man”), but it also removes all feelings of remorse and regret, until you inevitably become an insufferable asshole. The addiction creeps in slowly, so you don’t feel it for weeks or months, and then one day, you can’t wake up without it.

If you think this story won’t be you, think again. I once thought the same. I’ve been clean now for 15 years, but it still lurks in my mind sometimes.

You sound like you’ve never experienced heroin withdrawal before. Sick is an understatement. It’s more like legs thrashing, everything hurts, you are simultaneously hungry and not hungry, puking, crying…every negative feeling wrapped into one, and the entire time you have the knowledge that one more fix would take it away instantly. That week feels like a year, and everything gets reduced to a second by second basis.

I’ll take my “being bummed I don’t have weed” psychological addiction any day.

I hear so many opportunities in there. He likes painting, you like woodworking, make wood panels to paint, and design the ideas together—you could even paint them while camping and drawing inspiration from what you see. You like gardening, he likes cooking, collaborate on home grown meals together. Hell, you can even design an elaborate garden in the Sims.

There are opportunities to step into each others world and see what fits, but you have to step into his just as much as he steps into yours.

Honestly, from the large list of things you mentioned he likes that you struggle with, and you saying that it would be easy for you to connect with Counter Strike even though other games are on his list, I’m wondering if you are emotionally cut off from your sensitive and creative side. That would definitely make a sensitive and creative kid feel a little lost around you.

Ever been in therapy?

You’re telling me you can’t appreciate art, eating food your son has made, or playing a simple game like the Sims or Minecraft? What do you like then?

And if he’s like his mother, how do you get along with her?

Pretty sure two animals would suffer that day.

Pro tip—stick on hand warmers and a stick on fish tank thermometer. If it’s a little too hot, just take the hand warmer off of it and wait 30 seconds until it cools to a delicious 98.6.

That last sentence is cursed.

We have the technology…

You keep asking these kinds of questions, seemingly looking for proof that your life is ruined. No one event or period of time defines a whole person. Some of the most accomplished and exemplary people have experienced years of severe hardship and isolation at some point.

Maybe look towards making a clean break and creating a new future rather than finding reasons to convince yourself that the past will haunt you for eternity. It doesn’t have to.

Gluetun is the way. Get a transmission docker container, set up a gluetun docker container, set the gluetun container as the network for the transmission container.

Viola, you have a perfectly working VPN with a kill switch.

I have about 60TB in mine. Media, man. Collecting is addictive.
