Jealous. I will be stuck here for the foreseeable future.

Pool drains. Hate them. Whenever I go swimming, I always avoid them.

I’m listening to an audio book called The Like Switch. I recommend it. It’s about building and maintaining relationships.

Absolutely. I was teaching English with Mormons in Kiev, UA in 2014 (as a volunteer, I am not Mormon). The nonprofit we were with stressed to us that we should absolutely, under no circumstance, go to Maidan (city center). This was when the revolution was just starting. Of course I went anyway.

At least when I was in Ukraine at that time, all the discord was contained within Maidan and the eastern regions. Life elsewhere went on as usual. I’m not sure if it is the same now. But it felt like going between two worlds.

Mechanical Engineering. Germany. Because it would be my dream to work as a roller coaster engineer, haha.

They can.

When it comes from people changing from being dickheads, I think it can take some people rock bottom, or being confronted by a chad who they perceive as worthy of respect to change to change them.

My mom is/was a racist Trumper, until my chad uncle confronted her and told her she was being a dick. He told her that he wouldn’t continue to talk to her if she didn’t change.

She did take heed and ended up not voting for Trump in 2024.

Most people who are like my mom won’t listen to somebody like me. She sees me as not worth listening to because I’m not a man.

And this is why I think only a recovered narcissist male who has seen this happen in real time (and who is also a chad) will probably be successful as an opponent against Trump.

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Kill Bill Volume 2! And I like the Carol (2015) soundtrack (totally not a lesbian).

I was a hipster in high school and I used to have Amelie on my iPod classic. Was such a tiny screen. :)

/e/OS, Fedora, Fediverse, many apps from the F-Droid store.

You can also just prepay on utilities. 6k might be a lot, but maybe if you got another card with a lower spending limit.

281-330-8004 hit Mike Jones up on the low cos Mike Jones is bout to BLOW!

I’m still trying to figure this out for myself.

You just need to put yourself around people as much as possible.

If your circumstances are that it isn’t possible, you shouldn’t beat yourself up about it. You perhaps could then make it your goal to relocate or put yourself in a position where you can be around people.

What kind of stuff are you into?

Animatronics. I like old school Chuck E Cheese and Rockafire Explosion. Also, urban exploration. Train videos.

What are your favorite shows to watch?

I will rent movies and television shows from the library. I don’t watch broadcast TV unless I’m forced to at the gym. Speaking of, I don’t understand why gyms subject people to watching the shitty news while on cardio machines. I wish they would turn them off or just show random inspirational stuff instead.

I appreciate this comment.

Wish I joined the military, sometimes. But my heavy conscience got in the way.
