  I kept getting notifications for a UPS delivery I wasn’t expecting. It was finally delivered, my health insurance company partnered with a cancer screening company and yada yada yada they want me to ship them my poop.

  I’ve tried to spend my way to happiness. I’m an enthusiastic beginner to any hobby and have flamed out on watches (twice), sneakers, car modding, PC building/gaming, photography, VR (3 different headsets), handheld/retro gaming, home theater, headphones/IEMs, Magic: the Gathering, KPOP, and travel. Car modding, PC building, and collecting watches, sneakers, and headphones fed my need for attention when I’d post pictures on reddit, and the rest were failed attempts to recapture the joy of my 20s when I shared vacations, gaming, TV/movies, and music with my friends. I’m turning 50 next year and took the last week of my 40s off and am struggling to figure out what to do with it. It’s not like I have unlimited funds but any reasonable travel destination is in reach but all I really want to do with my spare time is get high, smoke cigars, and read light novels or watch anime and spending money to do that somewhere far away seems dumb even to me. If I had more money I do not think it would make planning any easier.

  I got a bunch of temporary bans but never cared, they were always undone. Then I got permabanned so I appealed and the last ban got removed but the permanent ban stuck. I took a couple of months before I decided the internet needed my hot takes once again.

  Get a “hoard bitcoin” tattoo on my thigh.

  The best educators still teach at colleges. It’s certainly very expensive but it’s your best chance to get a better education. You really do get out what you put into it. I challenged myself to get a degree by doing the bare minimum and while it worked, I was not better off for it.

  If I bought one it would end up in the pile of gaming devices I don’t use. I have an RG35XXSP for GBA, GB,and GC, a Retroid Mini for PSP, Vita, NES, SNES, PSX, DC, and arcade, a Retroid Pocket Nova for PS2, GC, and N64, an AYN Odin 2 portal for Android games, PC games/streaming, a 5800X3D/7900XTX PC for 4K OLED gaming, and a 5700X3D/9070XT for 1440P widescreen gaming. I’m nearing 660 games on my steam/epic/gog libraries and I have 2TB of rom dumps for all of the retro systems. I’ve spent thousands of dollars to realize I don’t like gaming, I liked hanging out with my friends.

  I work at a DMV call center. People call me with vehicle registration or driver’s license problems and I help them out. AI is supposed to replace me so the state bought an AI voice recognition system. It can transcribe calls but cannot do anything with the information so a new part of my job is responding to what the AI interprets and then use AI canned responses to reply to the caller via email so I can train the AI.

  Paying for usenet access and an indexer is worth it to me. My ISP’s only ever gotten on me about torrenting so that’s a last resort for me and it doesn’t work well with “file sharing” nodes on my VPN anyway. Nothing saturates my 500GB plan like usenet downloads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Congrats on your big win!!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was a regular dabber for years when I quit cold turkey in anticipation of drug tests during job applications. I was completely sober for 8 months and when I got hired without a drug test I was so mad. I was expecting more drastic changes during sobriety but the only thing I noticed was the return of dreams. I hadn’t really noticed their absence during my decades of cannabis use but while sober they were much more vivid and outlandish than I remember them being. They’ve since disappeared again once I resumed dabbing shortly after starting work.

  I write well enough for the e-mails I’m required to send, I don’t code, I have no use/desire to generate “art,” and I don’t like search results I have to double check so I’ve been blessed (cursed?) to not have to use “AI” in my daily life.

  The fog is moisture condensing on the cold windshield surface. Use heat directed at the windshield with AC on. The AC dries out the moisture and the heater warms up the surface preventing additional condensation.

  Drug problem is a healthcare issue, not a crime issue.
