  • Some of us do hold this stress because of ptsd from having to deal with it so directly. Idk that person’s back-story, but I’ve seen the same type of reaction plenty in my field. They want to eradicate any sense of misinformation that they feel is being said, because of their experience with it. It’s visceral, unfortunately

    I also know exactly where you’re coming from and that you’re legit kinda just talking about a beard (and you’re being friendly on a public forum). Try not to take too much offense I guess; and I personally appreciate the amount of chill you have towards that much reaction. I hope a lot of us can heal one day. And I hope you can continue being as calm and kind as you seem, to those who are still hurting about it all

    Source: I saw too many people die horribly, rapidly, and several times a day for months (and then often times, for years)… while trying to protect myself and loved ones— and some people acted selfishly, according to the mis/disinformation they were fed. It’s still visceral when I think about it, because of the amount of fear/stress it produced. But I’ll never give up on healing myself, just as much as I tried to help those we lost. It’s just hard af dude, but not impossible. I’m sorry for all of us ngl, and truly appreciate you hearing me about it



  • I’ma have to re-remember a facet of my life where “I’ll make do” was a thing. I mean, it still very much so is… but fuck, I could be “making do” even more if I tried just a little. I don’t wanna, because comfortability and all that, but I’ve done more with less in my past. I’m tired, but I guess it is what it is for the time being. Really wish I didn’t have to because of greedy evil, but fuck 'em… good luck in your bunker, I’ll smile at the sun instead


  • Dunno why I never considered that. A VPN over wifi on one, for banking and whatever… and then my phone. Hell, I used to carry an MP3 player, flip phone, and a camera if the time called for it. Making me feel like I lost my way lol, appreciate the succinct tip

    Edit: smacking my head cause I literally have to carry two phones at work, as is. Why tf have I never considered this as an option for myself, even when I knew it was optional? Damn man, gonna grab me a phone for personal use and put this one to (for) work. Thanks again my friend





  • “Hey look, my old af computer works again. Sweet”

    That’s about how I see it. I’ve used other distros for niche projects (like un-bricking my OG Xbox with a 20 year old desktop, cause I fucked up the mod). But I use Mint for my daily computer, cause I’m not much of a software tinkerer… and my wife can use it without issues as well. Fuck, I do love Linux for all the hardware it’s helped me save, regardless of distro
