I just wanted to know that your last statement brought me a bit of comfort today, thank you. I've been feeling a bit isolated here, since, well, ever, but was never able to make it out yet :/ I'm not that rural, but anywhere outside of Milwaukee or Madison is pretty bleak.

Haha, well you made it farther than I did, I too liked computers growing up but even though I went and got my A+, Network+, MCSA and all that years and years ago, and then went back to school and got an associates in web development, and then didn't do anything with that either. OOF. Well good news is now I know why I wasn't allowing myself to succeed back then, bad news is it's way too late now for any of that with AI poising to take over everything. I'm kind of glad I didn't now, kind of, if it wasn't for the fact I'd actually be financially stable now if I did lol. But life is a journey. I'm actually a bit of a luddite now despite my very early adoption of computers, internet, etc haha. Funny how that works out. Grill sounds great, I love cooking out doors as well, it's just invigorating :)

AH yeah, I had an older account but I deleted it because I couldn't resist the urge to make negative comments about the state of things all the time and I'm trying to be more positive so I made a new one. Yeah it's a bit slow at times but that is kind of refreshing not have to keep up with an endless barrage of stuff ya know.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Martina McBride, Milli Vanilli and his Celebrity Apprentice pal Bret Michaels, deserted him

Ouch lol.

Freedom Williams from C+C Music Factory have yet to cancel

Well that's off the playlists.

Sorry, it was a bad day and it appears I took it the wrong way :( I thought you were talking about me personally and not the name as the name was for Don. I'm a bit sensitive atm, apologies too.

Yes I enjoy it here so far, there's a few hotheads but I guess that can't be avoided anywhere. People seem genuinely interesting and interested in cool stuff, so it's really my jam. All that stuff is just so beyond my, interest I guess. I love doing things with computers, making art, editing photos, games, I can make some simple web pages and put them on a host, etc. Fun stuff. Now it's all.... I dunno lol. I never got into phone apps to begin with so I think I was lost from the start. I like computing on a full computer. Honestly any algorithm besides chronological sort is junk to me, like you said it can all be gamed so it's just all so dumb.

We have some little sparrows that just go in there and motorboat the bird feeder, so there's plants from the seed growing all over under our feeder haha. No corn though, that is pretty cool!

A few times, about music or movies, someone nicely jumped in to defend a misunderstanding yesterday (ty again). I seem to perpetually have my foot in my mouth which doesn't help. I should seek out more things that interest me personally and just stay in my lane I guess. Now that I'm more at peace with myself I should let go of the need to have unproductive rants on political threads.

Erowid, Lycaeum, Bluelight, Rhodium, Hive, sure they are/were all very good. Never tried it myself, I had a dabble with anticholingergics when some metalheads I hung out with in high school suggested doing some Dramamine. The spiders... Anyways, for sure, read up on and preferably test anything before putting it in your body.

I've never been good at making friends and even worse at keeping them, so I haven't really had to deal with this issue so much. Good and bad parts to that. Mostly bad I suppose. I'm hoping that now that I'm not unknowingly pretending to be someone I'm not my interactions can be more genuine.

Soon after, they are pining for the fjords.

Oh gosh well mine was like $5 then lol. Yeah it really doesn't seem worth it to me but then I live in a totally different economy I suppose.
