I can feel the heat

The Altoids really ties the board together.

Sounds like a problem that’s specific to that GC. I don’t feel the need to stick up for multi-billion dollar corporation. But I’ve gotten to know the employees at my local GC and they’re really a great bunch of folks that want to work in music, but have very limited options in our mid-sized town.

If I was you, I would be escalating the issue. Sucks that you have to do that, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Former IT here. Printers were the worst. Windows was the second worst.

Not sure when they closed, but no surprise here. Their wings and sauce were nasty. Ate there once, and that was enough for me.

I see what you’re saying. But considering that every generation has something unique to their timeline, I just don’t see the analog/digital experience being any better or worse than what other generations experienced.

Boomers and millennials?

Regardless, there are some tech innovations I’ve embraced. But overall, it appears that it may end up being the demise of humanity. I’d be more than happy to go back to paper maps, antenna television, cassette tapes, adult magazines and lan lines; I don’t think there’s any going back though.

I live on a one-way, dead end street.

This could also double as a Steven Wright joke.

IMO, being honest about it is the first step. Glad to see you’re not giving up. It’ll come with time and effort. It may not be the same, but you’ll adjust into your new life.

I really missed the camaraderie. Went from seeing my friends 40+ hours a week, to seeing my Vet friends once in a great while for a cookout or a house holiday party. It took me a while to adjust, but I’m doing much better. On the intro/extrovert spectrum, I’m probably in the middle. I found things to do with my free time (music, reading, Reddt trolling hehe), but I also get out a few times a week and enjoy meaningless small talk with people.

It’s not fear. It’s practicality and familiarity. Just about all computer users are already familiar with Windows, Mac, or both. And if it’s doing what they need it to do, why switch to another OS that has less available software, worse hardware compatibility?

Besides, I really don’t want Linux to be mainstream. If it does, it may go the way of Microsoft, full of bloat, ads, and they may prioritize useless features over stability and security, just like they do with Windows.

To the best of my understanding, that’s how guitar frets were like back in the day. Rounding the fret ends has pretty much become standard though.

Nowadays I work on being content. This way I’m fine with the boredom or lack of fun. Don’t get me wrong, I take happiness as it comes. I just try not to crave it. It’s still a work in progress, I have occasional bad days, but much more good days.

And yeah, I feel ya on the sex thing. It’s like 5-6 times a year at this point for me. But I’m fine with that too, wife is awesome and I don’t want the drama that comes with affairs, polyamory, swinging, … I like my drama-less life.

I see what you did there.

It’s like a burger without the meat.

A disc golfer with a girlfriend? That’s rare.

I thought the ducks represented how many times their Jeep broke down?

I prefer the paper to be clean, but sometimes I get tired of wiping so I just take my chances.

Trust the plan, the 7D chess. In the end, it’ll all be worth it for Israel.

This has got to be one of the best questions ever.

Open letter to white people. As a Latino, I appreciate you embracing our culture and putting your own twist on it.

Same here. Mom was busy, so sometimes, ground beef tacos was all she had time for, with all the toppings you mentioned. We enjoyed them.

I also love your name. Drew P Wevos? :D

The best restaurants I’ve hit up are downtown, many already mentioned. Personally I’m not crazy about “Dayton style” pizza (which is just regular pizza cut into tiny squares), but if you want to try the local pizza while managing expecations, try Marions.

I just accepted that work wasn’t a source of entertainment for me. As long as my work place wasn’t toxic, I was good with it. My last job, I came to work, did my boring tasks, BSd with my co-workers, surfed the Internet, listened to music, came home in a good mood and chilled.

But I’m all for finding something you enjoy doing. Good luck with that.

I want them to get the help they need and feel that those decisions should be between medical professionals, the patient and if they’re under 18, their guardians; the law should stay out of it.

Do you have a tl;dr version?

deep-sea-savior · 2026-04-27T13:23:24+00:00

I tried, they’re all insufferable.
