“Anyone who calls me out on my shit is undermining the revolution” and other dumb shit you can yell into the void

Familiar with the cost of full leather garb

Infidelity is hilarious!

I can’t control how my coworkers act. I can control how I act. I can’t force my coworkers to adopt a sense of integrity, but I can hold fast to my own. In this way, I try to see those people less as terrible people and more like an immutable part of the job. For example, if you work in sanitation (e.g., picking up trash), it sucks when the weather is bad. But it’s not aggravating–you can’t control the weather, and you don’t blame it for being bad. It’s not a positive thing, but somehow it’s less stressful. (that’s not to say you should dehumanize others, just seeing them as something you can’t control, like the weather).

That being said, it took me quite a few years in the industry to be able to think this way.

Sure, but I’m happy with my given name. I guess I meant I might take the other name if I disliked my given name.

Heather. Always figured if I were trans I might use it. Cis af tho

If you’re not sure who the Linux enthusiast is in your circle, it’s you.

That was my general impression, which is why I figured I’d play them in order. Going back might be less fun.

I have private email for two reasons: using my own domain, and to promote it in general. Sure, everyone else is on Google/MS right now, but as they continue to enshittify things, maybe more people will want to move away from that. And the more people do that now, the faster/easier it will be for others.

Started playing the Witcher. Gonna try to play through all three in order. Picked them up for cheap or free a while ago, never got to them until now. So far, it feels a little clunky, but the aesthetic is great.

Good. Eat each other.

I think I’d be willing to let go of the handful of things that are exclusive, given that I could probably do more with a proper Linux system. It’s the basic phone functionality (as others have mentioned) that keeps me from switching.

This is either blatantly sexist, or super progressive. Unfortunately, I’d probably have to assume the former.

I know it’s not really ready for it yet, but I guess I’m gonna be looking into a Linux phone before I thought I would.

Always fresh, no worry, just harvest this morning.

I believe it’s pronounced “carcoochie”.

Same here! It’s Arch-like in having the latest updates, but I’ve found it to be a lot easier and forgiving than “vanilla” Arch. Been running it for a while now and it’s been a great fit.

I may not know much.

There’s no “but”, I’m just clueless.
