Jealous. I will be stuck here for the foreseeable future.

At this point, I don’t know why Republicans don’t outright just say they want people who they see as less than them suffering and/or dead. That’s their only consistent political view.

I use /e/OS instead of Lineage now. It comes with MicroG and everything just works. I have a personal profile and a work profile. I keep them separate. No issues at all.

LinkedIn was doing this to me, too. But then I randomly was able to log on again. I wasn’t able to for months and thought it was ridiculous that they were asking for my ID.

You can try logging in on an IP address you previously logged in on. Then, delete your account ofc.

Pool drains. Hate them. Whenever I go swimming, I always avoid them.

I’m listening to an audio book called The Like Switch. I recommend it. It’s about building and maintaining relationships.

Absolutely. I was teaching English with Mormons in Kiev, UA in 2014 (as a volunteer, I am not Mormon). The nonprofit we were with stressed to us that we should absolutely, under no circumstance, go to Maidan (city center). This was when the revolution was just starting. Of course I went anyway.

At least when I was in Ukraine at that time, all the discord was contained within Maidan and the eastern regions. Life elsewhere went on as usual. I’m not sure if it is the same now. But it felt like going between two worlds.

Mechanical Engineering. Germany. Because it would be my dream to work as a roller coaster engineer, haha.

It depends on how you want to approach college. Career is one aspect of college. You should focus on your interests and strengths.

It’s tough. If you’re in a medical emergency type of situation, or are sick and need help, there are a lot of services that can help. You can go to urgent care or ask your doctor. If you don’t have insurance and live in the US, I’d probably encourage you to dial 211 for resources.

Making friends is not easy. But I think you should keep trying and just remember not to give up. I think the first step is just putting yourself around people, and not expecting anything as an outcome. What do you like to do for fun?

Trader Joe’s is okay for some things. I like their cinnamon rolls and think they are worth the five dollars.

I have a towel rotation. I use a towel for a couple of showers then it will go on the floor for a couple of days. Then into the wash.

I have had bath mats before and they have all gotten pretty gross or end up getting thrown out after a while.

They can.

When it comes from people changing from being dickheads, I think it can take some people rock bottom, or being confronted by a chad who they perceive as worthy of respect to change to change them.

My mom is/was a racist Trumper, until my chad uncle confronted her and told her she was being a dick. He told her that he wouldn’t continue to talk to her if she didn’t change.

She did take heed and ended up not voting for Trump in 2024.

Most people who are like my mom won’t listen to somebody like me. She sees me as not worth listening to because I’m not a man.

And this is why I think only a recovered narcissist male who has seen this happen in real time (and who is also a chad) will probably be successful as an opponent against Trump.

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Kill Bill Volume 2! And I like the Carol (2015) soundtrack (totally not a lesbian).

I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)

How do you know they are going to reduce military influence? How are tariffs going to help people who are struggling to afford anything as it is? If the goal is to get people to buy American, what is stopping everything from only being controlled or made by corrupted people or corporations who set up on American soil?

AmTrak is a hill I am willing to die for on.

/e/OS, Fedora, Fediverse, many apps from the F-Droid store.

I think he was practicing it in the mirror, too. There is no way that this is a coincidence or a mistake.
