“Don’t try too hard (in my career). I don’t want you to be disappointed.”

…from my mother.

I stole my friend Andy’s plane, flew it and crashed it into the forest. I survived and hiked out, and he was extremely angry.

In real life, Andy doesn’t have a plane, and I don’t know how to pilot one.

I bought an electric field heater for my dynavap, so that’s good.

Wow. Could you have stated this any more like a douchebag?

While Mike Rowe is kind of a piece of shit, he did say one right thing: “Stop looking for the “right” career, and start looking for a job. Any job. Forget about what you like. Focus on what’s available. Get yourself hired. Show up early. Stay late. Volunteer for the scut work. Become indispensable. You can always quit later, and be no worse off than you are today. But don’t waste another year looking for a career that doesn’t exist.”

There is no perfect job. There are jobs you make perfect for you. If the job you are in prevents that, you move on. Never wait too long for a promotion, as you can promote yourself by having the strength and will to find that promotion at a different company.

But really just the commercials on TV.

Really showing my age here.

I’m kind of specific.

Unless I purposefully want to hear sound, my devices are muted 100% of the time. If I am listening to something, I wear earbuds with over-ear hooks, so that one of them can sit partially out of my ear, so that my hearing is not completely isolated from the world.

Though…autistic.

I have no issues whatsoever with someone who used to have distasteful or evil beliefs. I only have problems with people who have them now.

Change is hard. People who put the effort in and change their upbringing generally have my respect.

I’m about 90% Lemmy, 9% Reddit, 1% Tribel right now.

As soon as Lemmy has enough people and communities to keep me always reading something new that interests me, I’ll be 100%. I’ve already abandoned subreddits that I modded. There’s little to keep me going back.

Install Ublock Origin. Seriously.

I didn’t. I got a computer in 1981 and just carried on from there.

For me it means that true pain is something other than physical.

Pain don’t hurt.

There are currently and there inevitably will be. Instances like Lemmy.ml, Lemmy,world, beehaw.org are already large.

I said ‘afloat’, and was specific about larger instances.
