My girlfriend and I visited family in Florida and did a road trip down to Key West. I got the first album from Gorillaz and it was pretty much the only thing we listened to the whole time down US1.

And now, over 20 years later, I still get this relaxed cruising feeling and can smell the humid, salty air. Just wonderful.

I think I understand even less than after the trailers for Death Stranding 1.

So what is the advantage to this over something like Bazzite?

It involved farting all the way home. Like a puff escaping with every step walking a few blocks home. I was so damn glad to be walking late at night. And I just felt miserable with my bubbly, knotty guts the whole night and the next day.

Seriously, I love ice cream and eat as much as I can get my hands on - but nothing in the world would make we want to go through that again. So happy for lactase tablets and vegan options.

Do you want to hear the story about how I figured out how I had lactose intolerance after eating 3 helpings of an ice cream dessert with extra whipped cream?

Godamnit! At that time, we were visiting family stateside. It was like the window let in a chill, like a rug pulled out from under you, it was tangible that something in the very fabric of the USA had changed.

I remember telling my grandpa, who fled soviet Bulgaria in WWII, that if this goes on, they can make anyone their enemy. 9/11 turned the hate siphon on full blast, and I was certain they would turn on their own.

So happy he didn’t live to see what the Republicans became.

I didn’t ask for anything and all I got was a 12" i3 with 8gb of RAM.

As a enterprise architect I understand that I spend most of my time in Teams, outlook, PowerPoint and excel (damn, it hurts reading that) but I also often have to work on, you know, enterprise sized diagrams.

Never ever in my life have I seen three leftys in a row.

So happy RN that I installed CalyxOS on my daughters phone. Um… but that means it might explode in her hands?

Bingo!

My problem is a different opposite. I grew up abroad but haven’t really traveled since. It wasn’t my choice and it’s got fuckall to do with anything, so I loathe talking about it.

And every time I meet someone it’s like “Hey, where’re you coming from? There’s something in your accent I can’t place.”

Um… I thought the loudest component of modern cars are the tires, not the motor?

Fuck Train Sim World. They release regular updates even though all have exactly the same base gameplay. It’s a pain figuring out which DLC requires some other DLC, or if the DLC you got is still compatible with your version of the game, or gets improved, or which version of the game has what included.

Learn to code and you will never stop complaining.

Been playing FFXIII and its Paradigm system is also pretty chill. But the game just. doesn’t. end.

I grew up in the States but never was a citizen. In second grade after a while of this silly ceremony I asked the teacher if I really had to participate, because it didn’t really apply to me. And the teacher was totally cool with it!

It was even wierder afterwards, being the only one sitting and watching everyone.

You see, this is why atomic desktops aren’t a bad idea.

A part of my family is extremely religious, and borderline fundamentalist. After a while I’ve been able accept the fact that some people want to know how the world works, and some want to believe.

I know that my death won’t be much different than if our dog dies. My consciousness will cease to exist, and I’ll either get burnt or decompose. Many people are filled with existential dread and look to religion to comfort them. And that’s cool for them.

And then their things beyond your understanding, that you fill with little stories. Sickness isn’t something that can be prevented by a shot, it’s a punishment. Not getting kids? A punishment. Pork? Haram because Allah said so, not because refrigeration didn’t exist. Whatever makes you happy!

The problem I got is that these people are easily lied to and manipulated by authority. The religious right are so easily played by Trump it’s embarrassing as a human being.

It’s this kind of mental gymnastics that killed church for me. Jesus had a pretty decent moral framework set up, but people mangled into a bunch of hocus pocus.
