Checking in here. I’m 53 and I can still do this. Quake too. Getting old doesn’t mean the fun stops.

Oh dude, yes! And stabbed to death by a little girl at the end.

I helped win that.

About drinking- If you think you’re talking normal, you’re sluring. If you think you’re sluring, you’re not speaking human.

From a keyboardist in a band- have a good time, all the time

From Billy Idol - Too much is never enough (though I did have to unlearn this latter in life and get into treatment. Still, fun while it lasted)

Don’t write anything down you don’t want everyone to read.

Because Mario recognizes a good time when he sees one and isn’t a dick enough to not invite everyone because of a little personal beef.

Communication skills (aka bullshittery) I’m a finish carpenter and project manager so its my job to figure out what my boss thinks the client wants, what the client actually wants, what the fuck the architect is talking about, whatever the interior designer thinks they do, and translate it into usable language to get my carpenters to build it and make everyone think it was their idea that was the best.

If she’d get a decent keyboard with good wrist support, shed have a better time.

I’m torn here. On the one hand, I hope it happens asap. On the other, I hope it hurts a lot and takes a long time and just hurts more and more.

I didn’t watch it but I was hoping for a Budd Dwyer moment.

Ha yeah. it plays hell with AboveVTT too. Tookvme a while to work out it was that.

I like Librewolf on my PC. It shuts down a bunch of stuff right off he bat.

I’m looking for some recommendations for android devices.

Random thoughts in no order.

I started therapy way late in life. I wasn’t against bit in general, I just thought I was too stubborn and private to get anything out of it. Good for you starting earlier than I did.

It started out awkward but I realized this was up to me if i wanted to get any thing out of it. This person went through a lot of trouble to be in a position to help me and I could either just trust that, or I should stop wasting her time and my money.

I got lucky and found someone I could connect to on my first try. My wife had to go through a few till she got someone she felt good about. Don’t feel bad if you dont find a connection with the first few you go to. This is important enough to get right. Do a session or two till you find someone you can be open and honest with.

The one I ended up seeing for a few years was significantly younger than me but we had a couple of big things in common so it worked really well.

Its like seeing a doctor, be honest. They cant help you if you don’t tell them what’s wrong. Doctors and therapists you tell everything to, cops you say nothing to. Everyone else is a case by case thing.

I can only speak from my experience but sessions were just talking and having conversation about what was going on in my head and life. Sometimes she’d suggest a book or something, but mostly she’s ask a few questions and let me work out what was up. Like, she knew the questions to ask to get me thinking about untangling my knots. It wasn’t her making notes about my problems and giving me solutions. Though she did have a few exercises to suggest I do that helped as well.

Once I let my ego or whatever go and started being honest with her and myself, I started feeling better pretty quick. Thats not to say my problems were solved or I had shit figured out, just that I felt like I was actually doing something about it. And that felt good. Like there was a better way to do things if I put in the work to relearn some habits and understand why I did things one way instead of another.

Good luck with this.

This is my goat Lemmy. Named aftercLemmy, but not Lemmy.

Ha, yeah. And later when we figured out how to double the size of 5.25 floppies with a hole punch.

I did say “if”. But I do think once the orange fuck dies it’ll help. It should fracture a lot of sub groups and cause splits. Thats not to say that will end it, but whatever, and I hate to use this word, charisma he has will will be gone and he won’t be the figurehead anymore. Yeah the conspiracy nuts will feast and blame and point and yell false flag and grifters will continue, but maybe that will drive a deep enough wedge in the whole mass of them that there will be a way out.

In the meantime, act hyperrlocal, protect your neighbors and family, post corn memes, and watch for opportunities to help in a greater way.

OK, but it’s not like this is new. The difference here is that people that thought they were safe financially, aren’t anymore. Shit tons of people were just getting by before. It’s going to be important to remember how this feels if we ever make it out of this. I really hope this spreads empathy and understanding if nothing else.

I’m not even kidding but a dude at work today bought me an atole.

Same here with Van. I thought he had something to say or there was something I could learn from him. But really he a just really into himself and thinks hes way more important than he could possibly be.

All of the Neistats. I got tricked into thinking they had something to say and/or teach. Nope, just a few guys up their own ass.
