9. Florida, probably

I couldn’t remember if they was Douglas Adams or Kurt Vonnegut. Both work

Learning about science is like learning about magic.

Functional Anxiety, or type A maybe

One Day Later

I just reached my mid-40s, and at the same time, I realized that I have been overthinking everything. Nobody cares, and those that do, you shouldn’t care about. Too many missed opportunities because I thought it worried too much and did too little. I think my new outlook may have been influenced by the ever increasing deaths of people around me. Time keeps speeding up, I’ll be dead soon. So will everyone. Do whatever you want, be nice to people, it’ll all be over too soon.

30 was the beginning of my youth. I became more emotionaly mature, physicaly mature, I had a decade of adult experiences to reference. I wasn’t the new kid, I was the functional adult. I became more me in my 30’s. I really enjoyed the good parts. Then I turned 40… I’ll let you know how that goes

Dwarf Fortress, obviously.

Yes, but we call it a bar. Same thing, just less tea or coffee

The American empire is failing on all fronts. Sad.

I once modded Skyrim to make hunger, thirst, sleep, wounds, infections, and weather as realistic as possible. Then, from nothing, set out to go dungeon diving. My guy had heard there were untold riches, and being dirt poor, it was going to be his ticket out of squalor. The amount of preperation that was needed took days. I had to build a small camp outside the entrance, catch kill and prepare foods that wouldn’t spoil. Make water skins to store enough water. I may be down there for weeks! Finally ready to go in, I have no idea what to expect, only rumors. It’s very dark (mod), but I made torches. Surprise Frost Troll. Dead. Bethesda update corrupted my modded save, but that’s ok, just another death of no one special in the frozen lands.

I once experienced this firsthand. The postdoc kept coming by, trying to find out how we were messing up something he had written a paper on. Eventually, he tried to reproduce it himself. No one could reproduce it, not even him.

Within a Deep Forest

The first game I ever completed and the first time I left a review for a game. The music, the atmosphere, the design, everything blew away. It was freeware from back in 2006. Made by a guy called Nifflas. It’s a sidescrolling platformer where you are an intelligent bouncing ball. I still think about it to this day.

Then the toothbrush, washing machine, thermostat, sous vide circulator, and butt plug start a podcast, “Plugged In”

Make it a good one. Then tell me about it, because I know I’ll never find it on the play store.

If they can negotiate on foreign policy and domestic policy, then they can work it.

I did not know that. What layer of management can unionize?

I know barely anything about programming languages and only ask as a fan, what are the real world usages of languages and what are their practical, pragmatic, or ideological measures that they are used for?

Hi I’m, I’m in.

Exactly, yes! Pretty much everything when left out in direct sunlight eventually fades or breaks down. There’s a reason why UV light kills germs, it damages what is touches.
