Family started to make fun of my pronouns. I'm just tired of people choosing to be cruel for cruel sake. So I deleted Facebook, essentially cutting them out.

My mom refused to use pronouns and I'd given her 6 years to learn and grow, cut her out.

In the past, a coworker on purpose set up a birthday for one of my best friends and didn't invite me. They made up super weird reasons why I wasn't invited. I realized he was manipulative... I cut him out...

Another co-worker was a friend but then one day he wanted to start touching me. I don't like being touched. I kept asking him to stop, he did it more. Til one day he pushed me into a cold case (we worked at a grocery store). I cut him out.

Regardless of who I cut out though, there is ALWAYS room to come back if they change and grow up.

I'm still hoping my mom will before she passes... : /

I loved learning lambda calculus (though for me it was super hard)

Gender assumptions

If a partner moved in with me they absolutely would help pay my mortgage. But I wouldn't lie that I didn't own the place. Just set standards of what I expect

I have tinnitus. Had it my whole life. I live with a fan running in every room except the kitchen and bathroom. They are on 24/7 365. The silence literally makes my head feel like it's about to pop

Not exactly to the title but I was alone with a coworker and explaining my precancerous cells I was being checked up on and a customer walked up as I was explaining.

He said, "that sounds like bullshit and I would know because I have a PHD."

he was an idiot.

If you don't mind a long-ish story:

I have always wanted to get into it. My dad was an RF engineer, but he never would teach me anything.

I moved to Seattle in 2010 (I was about 25yo) and I learned about maker spaces.

Well a guy at that maker space didn't mind showing me the basics. So he taught me briefly how solder works and then asked what I wanted to make. I said, "I want things to light up"

So he gave me a breadboard, LEDs, resistors, wire and a battery and said, "Figure it out". Pretty quick I got them lit up. So I went back to him and said, "I want them to change brightness when its dark or light out."

So he gave me a photo resistor (when there is no light it slows/stops the current of electricity), and he said, "Figure it out". So I learned how to use the photo resistor to make the lights brighter when the ambient light was brighter. Then I told him, "I want them to light up when it's dark out, not light".

So he gave me a transistor and said, "Figure it out". This took me 3 months, all alone, to read the schematic of that transistor. But EVENTUALLY I got it working.

Since then I have learned to create my own PCB's, programmed line followers and have built robots that move around and do image recognition!

I haven't done much as of late but I want to get back to that! (I have moved a lot in my life so the second to last move I did, I had to donate ALL my robotics so I am starting from scratch)

I would look up maker spaces in your area. You can use them to do more than just robotics. The one I went to also had engravers, 3D printers, and knitting machines (or crochet? can't remember)

• I play beat saber.
• watch TV
• draw
• play video games
• crochet
• build robots
• organize
• compose music on the piano

Whatever I can focus on, it helps me release the day

Manjaro. It just worked on any device I installed it on. And wifi just worked with no fiddling.

Then I installed it on surface tablet. What didn't work, I found kernel fixes I could implement.

Of all the distros, for me, it was the easiest to use, install and manipulate!!
