To think at least one person spent dozens of hours sculpting that with strong artistic vision they felt they needed to share with the world. This was their gift.

If I catch even a hint of it, I can’t follow up with another bite. It’s probably one of my least favorite common flavors.

While I still tend to stick to the terminal for updating, I still have fond memories of doing everything through Synaptic Package Manager when I first got into Ubuntu in 2009.

Same here! I can put together a half-descent network in just a few hours, but even programming simple stuff on microcontrollers is a major endeavor. And the documentation is usually terrible or nonexistent. And the tutorials are usually barely able to cover basic questions. At least in the space of networking, there’s enough context clues in the UI that I can piece together the solution I need.

The suffering is like, all on purpose or whatever idk

It just showed up in there one day. No one knows how it got there.

Mine is pretty simple. If you do something with the intention of harming someone else (self-defense excepted), I will not be your friend.

If you are the aggressive, proud, vengeful or petty type, I’m not going to wait for me to do something that you find justifiable to use that same energy against me. If they did it to someone else, they’re capable of doing it to me.

Honestly, the Get Bored advice is huge. I’ve found myself occasionally in between things just giving myself like 2-5 minutes to sit with the moment and let my mind rest and it helps a lot with the day feeling like it’s going too fast.

This scene gets my cry-laughing every time. I want to get into a jam session with some people and lure them into doing this without realizing.

Eraserhead is about the challenges of having a child.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians

The Mistborn Trilogy

His Dark Materials series (The Golden Compass)

These all quickly pulled me into their fantasy worlds and I read through them pretty quickly.

UT2004 still bops. If I suddenly stopped being able to buy new games, that one would keep me entertained for at least another decade.
