Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.

you're thinking a decade ago, unfortunately. it's been dead for at least 7, 8 years

yospos is absurd at its core and it appeals to people with a strong appreciation for that absurdity. it’s not that there isn’t news about technology that we can constantly respond to but there’s nowhere near enough of it to sustain a serious ongoing flamewar and engineers can’t stop themselves from trying to be informatively helpful so it’s kind of inevitable that the fyad-ness would just become window dressing on a weird little community

echi i hope you dont think of it this way. if there is a couple where one makes more than the other, the one that makes less, or spends more than they earn, or whatever, isnt "dragging from behind". its ok to bring something to a relationship besides a paycheck, and if your girl is still with you after a little bit i bet she thinks you do

"getting ahead" is as much of a fake idea as getting in trouble, if the bills are getting paid

appreciate the positivity man. was having a bit of a self pity party when I was writing that, my problem is that i think i’m lazy and useless, altho my partner doesn’t think so, maybe that was the ex wife rather than reality 🤷‍♂️ thankyou. and that line about fake ideas speaks to me, i let my kids know that getting told off doesn’t actually matter so maybe I should take my own advice and accept getting ahead is also fake

altho I would like to be out of debt. pretty sure debt is real

how do we define that tho?
to get out of debt, I can afford for the kids to be ok and for my life to be boring but I can’t afford a threadripper or new graphics card or take the kids away on holiday or a newer car than my 02 honda fit and i’ll probably need a sunday job and end up working 53 hours for the next 5 years and i’ll still only be in a two bedroom house with no section. still i should turn my eyes to africa or south auckland to get some perspective in my life

yeah i remember 2013-2016 i had a bit more of a manic approach to posting in the 'pos

in large part spurred by me being stuck in a lovely job with bizarre people, and towards the end of that period by me sometimes drunkposting at work

Open mic comedy is good fun even if the acts are bad. Especially with a good mate and your drink of choice.

You have talked about your joy in the 'pos before, and you are also a source of joy. have a CHCH Joy Bar
