Hey hey watch your blood pressure. I'm sure he didn't mean it.

Yeah, it is.

I can support myself but, no one else barring a few piddly donations I make once a month to wikipedia and NPR. I make enough to have a teeny bit of fun on top of my rent. I can buy my tools, work on my car and be the dude I've always been.

how do you work on your car in an apartm-

I drive to O'Reilly's and tear it apart in their parking lot. They see it as advertisement. Win for me. Win for them.

I've come to accept that retirement might be by way of Smith and Wesson, but I'm 37, helping who I can, doing what I can and just trying to be, man, and I think I'm doing an ok job.

I see my folks, visit my mom, pay my taxes and stay out of most people's way. When the time comes that insurance doesn't pay out for some such terminal illness, I won't feel that bad about going out early. I don't have a god to disappoint.

Fuck this "you can't get anywhere without stepping on everyone else" attitude.

The cilantro of beer.

Our best local brew(Red oak) is a Bavarian amber lager. Only the people that hate beer drink IPA.

Suddenly realizes no one under 30 goes to the bars he goes to

Holy shit. I never thought about it, really.

I don't go anywhere exclusive or special, really. They're just not fucking there. 😯

The o'l "can't threaten a man with nothing to lose" gambit.

To rule as road King amongst my band of misfits.

A lot of people dive in as if the entire fediverse has the same level of nerve as 4chan.

There are a lot of sensitive people here. The best thing I learned through my dealings with Mastodon is to be kind, and lurk before hitting that comment button.

The level of discord on the fediverse waxes and wanes depending where you are. There are conversations I'd never have here, that I'd gladly have elsewhere with no ill effects. The right words for the right group of people.

I've gotten to a point where the quality of a PS2 game is higher to me than most AAA releases. I mostly play retro games, more open multiplayer games that don't block users like TF2(and TF2) and indies... so, no. I don't really need Windows for anything.

I hate to be this brash, but for fucks sake...

Throw a fucking brick.

You gonna wrap your car too?
