  • Wow, that’s cool. Like he wanted to be sure you can take care of yourself.

    My friend who used to live with me would feed my cat from her plate, which turned him into a greedy pain in the arse who tries to eat everything. Took a while of me gently moving his head away for him to stop immediately trying to eat everything on my plate as soon as I put it down. He went from having no interest in human food at all to full Garfield.






  • 100%. I’m from the UK and the drinking culture here is ridiculous. People don’t just drink, they get wasted. My best friend died from alcohol abuse at 34.

    There are people at my company who are very obviously alcoholics and spend the workday hungover or still drunk a lot of the time stinking of booze and that’s totally fine apparently. But if I smoked weed at the weekend like I used to and came into work totally sober I’d test positive, get fired immediately, completely fuck my career prospects and very likely get a visit from the police trying to bust me. It is bullshit.








  • First experience was trying to dual boot Slackware and Windows ME on the family computer in 2003 after getting a magazine with the install disc on. Nuked the Windows install and got banned from the family PC for a while.

    Then I got my own laptop with Windows 98 on it at 18. I’d just found dyne:bolic which was one of the first Linux live CDs if I recall correctly and was designed to work on older hardware (this was mid 00s). That machine served me well for 2 or 3 years.

    A few years of bouncing between various distros and Windows followed. Eventually I made the full switch in about 2012 first to Ubuntu then Debian which I’ve been using for the last 5 years or so.
