Agreed, but if the data is important, you need to pay another third party for backups. If something is important and you only have it stored once, that’s on you, no tech is infallable.

Trying my best not to imitate the “wellll acktualllyyy” meme - I agree with your comment lol - but just to spread a little knowledge, if your body is not used to fiber and you intake a large amount, diarrhea is often the body’s way of coping.

This is, ironically, the exact same energy Trump responded with lmao - do better next time!

Where did I say the opposite of anything you are talking about?

Yup I get it, just don’t like marketing speak and downplaying what we are talking about - it takes a ton of joules to get water that hot and it’s dangerous.

with water that’s roughly 200 degrees Fahrenheit

barely warm enough to brew a cup of tea

That is scalding hot water brother LOL

Out of the current “R” brand spread, Romney at least had some character. I wouldn’t beat yourself up too bad about things you did many many years ago, reflection is hard, growing up is hard - you are a champion for being man enough and introspective enough to grow as a person. Also I enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing.

Congrats on 90 days!! Huge fucking milestone, well done! When FOMO kicks in, force yourself to think about low points you’ve had with the fire water - it’s not worth it - plus there is a huge market opening up for non-alcoholic drinks, so when you feel a bit more resilient that’s an option to socialize, YMMV.

In terms of getting out, I whole-hearterdly agree with the other commenter with volunteering. I would further suggest doing something physical, trash cleanups, running/biking club, etc. For me, getting my heart pounding and sweat pouring vanquishes any anxiety I might have had entering the situation or generally.

Best of luck!

I’ve been quoting that line (and the scene has been playing in my head) for months!

Nice red herring you’ve got there - I’ll leave you in your dark, depressing hole to enjoy eating it in peace. 👋

History proves you wrong. Every major challenge to our democracy, from our inception, has been overcome with blood, sweat and plenty of tears.

Americans will roll over and let it happen like they have for fifty-some odd years now or more.

You’re old now but apparently can’t remember all the victories over the last 50 years? Title IX? ADA? Same-sex marriage? First black president? First woman speaker? That’s just off the top of my head - your willful ignorance is actually shocking to me, shameful.

I was kinda going down the list of more involved to least, but def they have game/trivia nights at most local pubs, plus a bunch of random events that if you participate in you are going to meet people.

It is funny and it is true! (also fuck steve)

I keep telling my s/o we need a sister wife and she keeps slapping me. That’s what dating is to me now.

I’ve said this a bunch here and elsewhere but it bears repeating - get out there in spaces where you are forced to interact with others: rockclimbing gym, mma/martial arts gym, cooking classes (either free at the library or paid at Le’ Bon’ Too’ Expensive’), social spaces for vices like hookah bars or bar bars (come on green lounges already!!!).

Forced interaction where hooking up is not expected is where the real hooking up takes place. Get out there and have fun and forget about (pussy/dick/w/e) for a few weeks and it will magically start coming into your life.

lmao - ‘salt life’ was what really triggered it for me in the south east before I left.

The ‘this-brand-represents-me’ stickers always give me the ick.

Most relationships I’ve had in my life, both platonic and sexual, just sort of ‘clicked.’ I never found myself wondering about what was going on, most effort was recipricated without much thought. I would just move on. She directly communicated she needed space, she’s not reaching out - I think the writing is on the wall.

Showed all of Charlie Murphy’s real hollywood stories to my s/o who had never seen them. They hold up, we were crying laughing.

Makes me yearn for another thru-hike.

Some ass-hat thinks ‘activism’ (slacktivism) is bot-spamming his same comment thousands of time.
