If 14 year old me isn’t impressed with all the MILFs I hang out with on the regular now, #1 being my wife, his judgment can’t be trusted.

That’s mandible. You’re thinking of a two player board game where people take turns moving beads around small holes to capture one another’s pieces.

I switched to Fedora. I’m overall happy with the switch and the learning experience, but it could have gone smoother. I’m not the most tech savvy and don’t have a ton of time to dedicate to tinkering. Getting the Nvidia driver running correctly was a hassle. Currently I have Windows 10 and Fedora partitioned on my nvme and I’m fighting with partition managers to reallocate space around. Yesterday I installed a new SATA SSD with the ultimate goal of migrating Windows there and keeping Fedora on the nvme.

I’m going to stick with it because I like the experience and the community, but once I get everything to a workable state I don’t see myself distro hopping.

I love watching these things take off. Somehow it always looks like they’re not quite going to make it.

I have this printed and framed next to my desk. It’s a good reminder of the power we all have to live our lives how we choose and the kind of people we want to be.

Yeah, the secret to getting good bacon is buying it at the butcher deli counter. You can request your preferred thickness, it’s much leaner, and it’s more flavorful. Unless you’ve got a local artisan cured meat hookup available, it’s the way to go.

Yeah this one for me, too. It felt like humans lost one of the people who understood them best and still kept caring about them in spite of it all. It took me a long time to face Discworld again and I had to put down Shepherds Crown for a bit at that one part.

You had me at blame Henry Ford.

If you just got a point for never having written a postcard, go write a postcard! And mail it to someone that you appreciate in your life. It doesn’t need to be from anywhere exotic or say anything profound, it just takes a few sentences. If you really want to get fancy about it, a lot of little art galleries sell postcard sized prints and you can give someone a tiny little piece of art that speaks to you. Or go to a museum and buy like 10 at the gift shop and keep a stockpile to send when you want to reach out. People love it, and you probably will too.

Our rescue was a “lab/beagle” on paper, but yeah she’s definitely got some American Staffordshire Terrier. Our HoA is very dog friendly and she’s a favorite around the neighborhood. If you adopt a mutt in the US they’re going to have at least some kind of pittie in the mix.

Nice to see Discordians represented. Lousy Discordians. They ruined Discordia.

Like everyone’s been saying, learn to take care of yourself. Cook and eat well and exercise and sleep. But also just fuck around a lot. Say yes to things. Try something new every time you can, even if it’s just a dish you’ve never had. Meet people and talk to them and have fun with them. It’s harder to meet people as you get older.

Travel if you can, but you don’t need to be a jet setter to have new experiences. Find trails and museums and go listen to live music. Try creating things, you don’t have to be good at it or keep doing it, just doing it is the point.

Aging comes with a certain amount of solidity, in your energy and mind and responsibilities. It’s amazing and it’s not something to fear, but it does mean you can’t just fuck around as much. And if you’re going to be a person for the rest of your life it might as well be a person you like.
