Work was super stressful last week so I took monday off to have a longer weekend and recharge. Guess who caught a sniff of PHP on friday evening and spent 3 full days building a new Web app project…

Is this AI generated code?

You have paid for Minecraft once, there is nothing immoral about pirating it now.

“-… and I’ll wag my tail and go woof :3”

In some sense, Powerwolf. The only concert I ever went to, I was really surprised to learn that apparently I hate concerts and will never go to one again.

Nono, it feeds me comfortably, I’m just really into saving up since I want to own an apartment one day and I’d definitely be annoyed at having to feed an extra person with no prior notice.

We’d get along fine, but feeding two people on one salary will definitely be annoying (my job has a non-competition clause where I can’t pick up a second job in the same field), and getting enough adhd meds for the both of us will be impossible due to strict regulations here.

One of us still could bring value to the household by being the designated bangmaid though

Oh hey we’re in the exact same boat! My parents are from Russia too and moved to Germany about 20 years ago. If the bureaucracy here wasn’t that slow, they would have had citizenship by now and 100% both voted AfD.

We never had a decent relationship and I’m not concerned about preserving anything, so the goal is to just fully cut all contact at some point 🤷
Until then, I just act ignorant whenever they bring up politics (like literally pretending to not know who Trump is, because “what, why would I pay attention to niche american politics, they’re literally an ocean away??”).
Works pretty well, sometimes it even does make them retrospect about why they would care so much about seemingly random topics (because Russian propaganda channels train them to react to specific buzzwords).
Ultimately, I don’t think they would ever change into better people and any energy put into changing their minds would be better used somewhere else.

I’ve recently caught up on About Oliver’s second season of Minecraft streams. He’s an astrophysicist who never played Minecraft before 2022 and documented his entire blind playthrough. No reading chat, no googling etc. He only knew that he could get to credits somehow, but didn’t even know how.

I highly recommend the entire playthrough, but there is a 6 hour Compilation of season 1 if you want to catch up to current day. Season 2 is about 40 episodes in, with about 4-5h per episode.

The forgotten coffee problem was my main reason for switching to oatmilk. If it stands around uncooled with cow milk for too long it grosses me out, but oatmilk isn’t as volatile so I don’t mind drinking yesterday’s coffee.

Tall & Skinny are the prerequisites for high-fashion modeling, so I bet any luxury-esque store should have sizes approximating yours :)

I almost missed picking up my meds yesterday because I was playing Minecraft VR … took like 2 hours between realizing I need to go pick them up and tearing off the headset and only half-turning everything off, because I got caught in wanting to turn the game off in a state where I’d remember what I was working on, so I had to return home, and then I had to fix a machine I was tinkering with, and then my crops were ready so I had to pick them, and then a trader wandered in and I wanted something before he disappeard so I had to scrape up money…

Sooo… where do we go after stage 3? The meds just make me nap a lot :(

With my partner, we usually gift time/knowledge. As in, one person wants to buy something but doesn’t have the time/expertise to read up it and find the perfect thing. So the other hops in and does the research for them.

This valentine’s my partner helped me decide on a new gaming keyboard, while I got him a custom web domain and email setup.

So maybe if there’s a thing you’ve been meaning to research/buy, let your partner do it as a gift?

Dang, your Adderall keeps you awake? If I even look at a cozy sofa after taking mine I get smitten down by a mandatory 4 hour nap

I’m only a regular so far, but my theory is that seniors don’t have that much more knowledge or skill - they’re just much more comfortable in putting out fires and don’t get as stressed when they don’t know what to do. I aspire to become as hardened as that some day haha

I’m both depressed and grew up poor so idk what you’re on about

Getting jealous at people who appear to have it better isn’t exactly a productive solution to either of those

… do people actually do that? As in, is strong jealousy really a thing?

I’d like to believe that each of us builds their life into the exact thing they need, so swapping places with anyone else would be terribly uncomfortable. So I can’t relate as to why anyone would ever be jealous i guess haha
