I don’t know why parents never brought it up, but same. Rarely talked about the uncle that died early after a life of drug and alcohol abuse. I didn’t find out that my dad’s sperm donor committed suicide until I was in my 30s. Geeze, the depression and self harm and substance abuse makes more sense huh.

I’ve lived in 9 different states (US) and I’m only in my early 30s. Let me count the actual different addresses I’ve had… 19. And I didn’t even count different college dorms as different addresses. I remember them all, but space and time are a blur. I don’t really ‘belong’ anywhere any more, and I don’t feel sentimental about any of them.

Edit: got bored and mapped it out. If I wanted to go on a road trip and visit all the different cities, it would be a ~5,500 mile (~8,850 km) trip, optimized for shortest path

I really liked watching B-grade 90s-00s SciFi movies with my dad when I was a kid. That was the name of one that came out around the time I made a reddit account, I don’t know if I ever even watched it, it just sounded like a good username. Reminds me, I should probably make a new lemmy account that’s not tied to the same name

And… recalling the words later on in the test… is part of the test. Uh oh

I swear I ran into a problem with IMDb having some basic stuff like “what has this actor been in recently” stuck behind their IMDbPro paywall at some point in the last couple years.

But I just went and checked a few movies and shows, can’t seem to replicate that issue anywhere.

I either hallucinated it, or they rolled back the enshittification after seeing a drop in traffic, not sure

Ok this is too damn cool. Will be checking it out soon, but moving to a new apartment this week so I probably shouldn’t dive into new distractions just yet…

It took me a while to bounce back from a verbally abusive ex after I moved away from her. Getting yelled at to “go fucking kill yourself” stuck in my brain for a bit. My meds also further numbed me, but weaned off of those antidepressants eventually, with doctor approval.

It did get better for me, hope you can get out and start healing soon

Yep. I’ve lived in 9 states so far. The only place I consistently used public transit was when I lived in NYC

I grew up in the South (USA) and had to go to church every weekend. So you can imagine the types of conservative ideas I grew up with. A lot has changed for me, if we’re talking politics or religion, I don’t fit in with the rest of my immediate family.

Well she involuntarily quit responding to Mom now that she’s a grandma (not my doing, my siblings have kids). So now I call her the same thing the kids do, Mimi

Nice, I was going to post GPD. Also no personal experience, I’ve wanted one for a while now, maybe one day.

Bumped into something sharp and it cut me. No biggie. Except for the part where I haven’t self harmed in 3.5 years and it looks EXACTLY like something I would’ve done intentionally. Mildly triggering. I’ll live though.

Play on words. They’re saying that fucking someone lower on the 0-10 hotness scale is fucking DOWN, so fucking someone hotter is fucking UP (I don’t really use that scale lol, just easiest way to describe it)

I didn’t realize there were white arrows in that pic at first. I thought they also had some goofy ass clown haircuts

I have beheld your dragon. You may proceed with the extra abilities of the spell you’re casting

(“Behold” is a new magic the gathering mechanic for anyone rightfully confused by my comment https://draftsim.com/mtg-behold/)

Damn, I’ve never blasphemed that one. I may die and end up in heaven due to my religious upbringing. Can’t have that…

FUCK THE HOLY SPIRIT

Fair. I’m the only one that uses my jellyfin server. It’s usually streaming to my local TV, or laptop if I’m traveling. Working on a portable mini lab right now too, travel router + raspberry pi

Yea, I should’ve clarified, was just throwing out a simple option if anyone hadn’t heard of that yet, it was easier than setting up openvpn or something on my router. You can also self host Headscale on your machine if you want to have more control over it.

I use tailscale for accessing my home network remotely, it was a super easy setup

Nice! Congrats my dude. Would’ve been closer to the same day but someone gave me a bottle of whiskey for Christmas that year and I hadn’t told anyone I was trying to quit yet
