Hey, I’m not always taking the best care of myself either but I just know not all ways to go are equal and alcoholism is really unpleasant for the drinker in later stages, which is also when it’s too late to change your mind and you just get long drawn out suffering compared to other morbidities.

That said, i do hope you can find some reasons to stick around a while even if it’s just something as simple as making shitposts that make the rest of us chuckle and help brighten our days :)

Alcohol is a really unpleasant way to go, just a heads up

I’m a dude, we seldom think about these kinds of things until women bring them up then suddenly women disliking having large boobs makes a lot more sense. Sounds like a bit of a raw deal, fun to look at, terrible to own.

Hi, former tech support (now cybersecurity) here. You /are/ tier one tech support. You handle it pretty much how they do, knowledge base documents and searching for solutions online. If things get really bad they might poke around directly and see if they can find a root cause before they escalate.

That doesn’t mean they can demand you do anything, but it does mean you shouldn’t underestimate yourself :)

HERE ARE THE FILES IN THEIR COMPLETE AND UNALTERED FORM:

Link to an empty word doc that just says “If I go to jail I’ll kill myself. I sure hate trump.”

It loads! That’s all the function checks we did!

As a Canadian another positive thing about this is that it reassured me that the US is too incompetent to launch any kind of surprise attack on us.

It brings me comfort knowing they aren’t competent enough to surprise attack Canada

Disco inferno baby

Huh. My dad’s credit card statement shows he spends a lot of money there. I’ll have to figure out where he’s hiding the dysons

This entire thread talking about how a distro is better than the next because you “only” have to update keyrings to update so even basic users should get it.

For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East

A metal red uno reverse card sits in my wallet. It was a gift from my girlfriend and an acknowledgement of our in joke of replying no u to compliments and I love yous.

Don’t worry, we’re in the worst one

No ridicule here, only empathy. It’s a rough hand you’ve been dealt. I wish I had some magic advice to give you but I don’t have any relevant knowledge of Cambodia or how to better secure a life for yourself. What I can say is that being in your 20’s you still have plenty of time to figure your life out.

You’re educated and in tech so it’s possible some remote work could come your way, or that you could try your hand at creating something of your own to try and market. Contributing to GitHub projects might help you make some connections and networking for jobs. If all else fails, there’s no shame in doing some retail, sales, or labour work while you wait for the tech market to improve (I’m in IT myself, it’s rough out there right now with all these layoffs.).

Either way, please don’t make any rash choices you can’t take back. It may seem pretty hopeless right now but time has a way of changing that perspective. The world is better with you in it.

Much love from your Canadian brother :)

Thanks, I’m pleased to say it was well worth the wait. Here’s hoping your patience is just as rewarded.

I sympathize, I recently ended nine months of job hunting. I found the internet a great source of free content to enjoy which much improved my penny pinching months. Libraries are also a wonderful asset to the budget conscious

I’m a 10-15 guy myself

Fuck clapping back in a country with that high a level of access to guns and that little mental health access. Anyone could have a gun and I’m not playing that game. I’m not usually too confrontation adverse but I’d change my name to Mat (First name Floor) before arguing with a weirdly aggressive American.

Fuck it, I’m switching to TempleOS
