Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.

Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.

A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.

Addicts always gotta justify how they get their fix, I guess.

I don’t need an alarm.

I wake up every few hours regardless.

And I’m always awake about 20 minutes before my alarm, no matter that time I set it to.

Existence is pain

I’m not sure how Canada feels about a foreign legion, but I’m willing to volunteer.

Note: this applies to any country the Orange Jackass threatens to invade.

But like… Organize first.

Otherwise you’re just a crazed lone gunman dead in the street.

If they all got their proper iron necktie, French revolution style, the only time they would be discussed is when you read another report that the lasting damage they caused has been repaired and the systems they tried to eradicate have been restored.

Well, I’m not a primary target, but if I see someone rolling up on my street trying to force people into a vehicle against their will, I’m definitely grabbing my rifle and preventing a kidnapping.

They may not be coming for me yet, but I sure as fuck am not waiting until they do.

Honestly I think they’re just waiting for people to fight back so they can justify lethal force from then on, “as a precaution”

It happens. I’ve definitely read a sentence, took it the wrong way, and only after rereading it later on (usually when someone responds to my comment) that I was incorrect.

I don’t see anyone shitting on younger generations.

All I see is someone expressing what many in the younger generation are feeling. Like everything the older generations faced is happening again. Like the world is on fire and everyone is pretending it’s fine. And they’re wondering why nobody is as concerned as they are.

In other words, “WTAF is going on?!?!”

Nah, I know for a fact 2/3 of my kills were luck, and the other 1/3 is new players.

I know for a fact I’m opinionated, and don’t have problems sharing them.

Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I’d rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they’re actively trying to make others miserable, but that’s a separate discussion)

The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.

And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I’ve hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.

Yaaaaas queen. 🔫👸💅

Had me in the third quarter, not gonna lie.

“other people have it better, so stop being so happy!”

See how that sounds when you flip the sadness around?

Just because someone else’s situation might be objectively worse than yours, does not for a second discount the situation you are in.

If my wrist breaks, I still have a broken wrist no matter how many people got their arms cut off.

Don’t feel guilty.

Ah, so you just wanted to stand on a soap box and let everyone see how virtuous and moral you are. Got it.

At this point, “university is in the US” would do it.

And with all fads, it’s cyclical. But on the internet, things move quicker so instead of 20-30 years, it’s more like 5-10.

… They didn’t before? Why not? It only makes sense.

Marketing really missed an opportunity for “InfiniTurd” on that one.

He’s something of a messiah, himself.
