a low level language that has really nice features when compared to c and c++, but honestly i find it difficult to read. probably my lack of experience with it, tho.

my parents were born in 1953 & 1954.

i was born in 1984. single income household, father is blue collar worker, mother is housewife.

when i was born, we lived in a big, two-story, full-size single family home in a high cost of living area.

when i was 3 years old (1987), my parents decided they wanted another house, so they bought one and we moved to an even higher cost of living area. they didnt sell the first house to afford a new one, they just bought another one and we had two houses.

what the fuck happened.

you forgot that you need to select more options, scroll down, read every box carefully to make sure on doesnt mean off and off doesnt mean on, make sure you dont hit the button that ignores your choices and turns everything on anyways…

i fucking hate what this has turned into.

my ignorance is showing… what is RT?

I’m here 'till thursday; try the veal and tip your server

…and please dont put your cigarettes out in the flower pots - the FSB currently has a shortage of microphones.

i like the happy vacuum. <3

i, too, have a friend that in all-in for elon and made tons of money with tesla stock; he is an elon and trump supporter, etc.

we talk politics regularly, and almost always disagree in these conversations. it can get a little heated sometimes, but we are pretty good at catching ourselves… after all, politics are all opinion-based, so our politics being on the opposite ends if the spectrum are understandable.

if talking politics is too much for the friendship to handle, then i recommend talking about it less (even though it can be difficult when every other story in the news is about it rn). if he brings up a political point, tell him you would rather not talk politics (i say this to my father whenever he comes over, too; its a lot easier to enjoy someone’s company through an enforced facade)

it has always been so weird to me that national public media isnt 100% funded by the government. i honestly didnt realize that the funding was this low, but i figured it would be at least in the 10’s of percents :(

one of my old companies billed monthly, but it wasnt setup to be the same day every month - they charged every 30 days.

i found that weird.

my father was this way - i didnt get to know the real him until i was in my mid-late 20’s. though i think its great that he can be himself again, there is a bit of resentment that i didnt mean enough to him to stop working for once and interact with me on a human level while growing up.

we arent super close, but we are friendly to each other. having slightly less money by working less and spending more time with the kid would mean you have to find some free things to do… #worth

there has been a meme making the rounds about “if you work really hard this could be you” with a picture of a gravestone saying you worked hard. dont be that guy <3

i turn my pc off when im not using it to save power; i thought this was normal.

im sad my 20 year ild one just died, but we are going to get a heat pump instead of fixing the broken one. the broken one uses the super toxic old stuff (even though it worked very well, it was missing parts, and hadnt been serviced for a very long time, heh)

“Waltzing”. cool people dance to 3:3

We need your help, Premature Ejactulation Man!

I’M COMING!

a sore called Claire’s (usually found at malls) usually has non-piercing costume earrings for pretty cheap :)

i cant even imagine ~1 in every 15 people using linux. that means we all have a chance of knowing someone else irl that uses it. :o

i bought something that was over $200 for the cat; she prefers the box it came in. i dont know why i try.
