Oh, and all you 20/30-somethings complaining about your lives having no milestones to look forward to? You remind me of a Peanuts comic in which Lucy asks Linus what he's going to do about his security blanket when he gets to be 10 or 20, or even 30. Linus replies: "Don't be silly. People don't live to be THAT old!"

In other words: Get over it. There are some days when I feel physically about 80, because everything hurts and my vision isn't great (I can't even thread a damn needle anymore)... but at least my mind isn't 80. Just think of each birthday as one more trip around the Sun and be glad that hasn't been monetized yet. Someone will come up with a way to do that some day.

Wow, thanks, I'm cured. Apparently all I needed was a lecture and a "get over it."

Thanks for 'splaining that to me.

Rant: doctor's appointments here have the same office hours I do. I'd just like to be able to go to the doctor without using up my limited PTO.

I have it also, reading stuff makes us harder to sleep, the only things that often works is listening things, try to listen a university lecture or an ebook, just listen and try to follow, it works sometime for me, well if my wife start to kick my leg randomly I will wake up and stay awake till morning.

I hate this part of me sometime

Get a blue light filter for your phone, tablet, or PC if you use them after sunset. Trust me. It's literally a night and day difference.

For computers, you can also use f.lux. It's nice not to have a super bright monitor when its dark.

 

[cardgame]

f.lux is the gold standard for PC light filtering. I think they're also on iOS but not Android because of some weird exclusivity thing. Google offers a light filter by default now with OS 9, possibly 8 I skipped that version.

You are correct, and I apologize. That was mean of me, and also hypocritical, since I've had "just get over it" thrown at me (apparently I'm supposed to "just get over" chronic illnesses and depression over my grandmother's death).

Blame a very bad mood that day for the insensitivity of my post. I shouldn't have said what I did, and I am genuinely sorry.

Thank you, I was too harsh to you myself. Apologies.

Finally getting the chance to read Leviathan's Wake. I tried back in May but only read 100 pages before needing to return it to the library. This time I'm reading through it relatively quickly.

Don't quite know how to feel about it, but I can say that the term "vomit zombies" is super dumb.

Oh look, it works natively on Linux.

My cute and kind hello kitty boss want us, HRD division to go to work on sunday, take off on wednesday andddddddd no more half day working hours on Saturday. Now my working hour is 48 hours start from tomorrow. I hardly say anything because he just increased my salary a lot and being super nice by keep sending money several time to my sick mother. What should I tell him, God help me

A seagull just shat on me and my bike.

Maybe animals know that you have a soft spot for them, it is too coincidence to be at the exact spot and time, more likely you are chosen in a way, consider it as a friendly greet

Are you saying I should return the favour?

Don't take it personally, it was probably aiming for the bike and you just got in the way.

I think Tim understand Seagull better than I do, you may ask him how to return the courtesy

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Small, silly rant: I was cataloging some of my paper books in Calibre, but for one batch they downloaded all the covers and metadata...in French. The books are in English. That was a bit of a pain to fix.

 

[Takhisis]

Yeah, Snerk, return the courtesy by showing the seagull how it's really done and take a dump on the bike yourself.
