I kept my AOL account because it’s in my dads name. He died a few years ago. I don’t think I use it for anything, but I try to log in a few times per year to keep it from being deleted.

It would take awhile, but I’d want to join their Army so that I might be stationed near a border someday. Seems like a good way to secure food as well. If it were possible, I’d try to gain weight before the escape.

Yeah, nearly every time. Gotta be able to laugh at yourself once in awhile

Sounds like a reasonable response (yours).

I block easily, but I tend to unblock everyone shortly thereafter.

The only hot spring I’ve been to didn’t smell like sulfur, or anything really. Not sure what could be in the clouds without googling it

You could get a handful of Roman coins for less than $5 if you don’t care about the quality. Or this $96.94 silver Hadrian coin from approximately 117-138 CE

I’m making an effort to pick more libre/free content, it just takes a lot more effort to fully make the switch than I had anticipated. We should really be pushing for more open, freely licensed content. I’d estimate that most Lemmy users are also Linux users, so it shouldn’t be too hard to convince people. I’ve been under a rock for so long that my issue is simply not know what the alternatives are.

In FFXI, at around level 20, you have to walk from your starter city to the main capital city, Jueno. It takes a couple of hours your first time, because all of the monsters are level 40+, and you have almost no chance of surviving an encounter,. You have to cross several very large maps in the process, usually alone or with a friend at around a similar level, and there is a lot of sneaking around you have to do in order to avoid detection. I always liked this part of the game because of the challenge it presented. When you arrive in Jueno, you finally get your chocobo license and never have to walk across those maps again, unless you really wanted to.

The updated version of the game doesn’t require traveling like this anymore. I think you can just take an airship or teleport there somehow now, but I still take the long way for nostalgia whenever creating a new character.

I rode a bike on that trail once. It was for some kind of event, and we were out there all day.

I went to work with my dad once, but only for a couple of hours. I can’t remember why, but we went to a really nice house, and I just sat in the basement while he did something with wires. I think he was in a hurry because he usually took extra time to explain things to me whenever we did stuff together, but we didn’t really talk about whatever he was doing that day.

Yeah, in most places. Welcome aboard :)

No, I don’t think so. Did they give any reasoning for me? Maybe I’m missing something

I’ll probably go with something more minimalist like sway. I’m trying to branch out and try other things, but I needed a push to get started. I’m really open to anything. AwesomeWM was my goto for the longest time

I’ll give it another try soon. I’m rebuilding my server right now, and this might be something I could get into. Which window manager would you suggest?

No plans this year. I’ll probably go to bed early that day to get it over with.

It seems scary at first, but if you just let go of the things you learned with Windows, you’ll see it’s a lot better. It just takes some getting used to, and it can be frustrating at first if you don’t fully understand. You may be tempted to find an alternative, but this is not always the way. Just accepting that it’s different is a good first step

I don’t think those are intrusive thoughts, at least that’s not what mine are like.

Exactly this. They never guide or try to cause anything, it’s just distressing. The way OP frames it makes it sound like the devil or something is talking to you. It’s more like “hey, do you remember that super embarrassing thing you said/did? Well lets play it on repeat for the next however many minutes”. It’s not something you’d ever want to do.

Hell yeah. Play what you love, who’s stopping you?

Linux for everything, but I’ve been meaning to try out BSD as well. I like that it’s a built by a community with people from around the world contributing to it.
