I’m going to make a video game for my kids called “Don’t Wake up Mom” in this game you have to get dressed, get yourself a snack, without screaming or fighting with your brother. If you Wake up Mom, you lose, the game quits, the computer shuts down, the computer is sold on eBay
i wonder if a Waze dev has ever seen this - when you try to navigate with no signal it goes to 18:33 and 22min/12km (my settings are in US regional for time/units)
if you’re reading this now and have wondered what was “up with” me, well, this is it. i’m trying to do better every day. but i think i need to own up to my past before i can move forward. i’m sorry. i’m trying. 5/5
for me, protection was isolation–not trust. retreating was my immediate reaction, and guilt over what i did/how it was perceived kept me away. vulnerability was a weakness. investing in relationships left me open to enormous let-down. 4/5
i have fully ghosted former roommates, college friends, co-workers. i’ve kept distant. i’ve ducked out. i’ve not responded. at the time i didn’t understand why; i just snapped into a mode of self-protection. 3/5
need to write a letter. like AA/12 steps. i need to make amends with people i wronged. not wronged per se, but didn’t react to or treat a person or a situation in the way that was expected. 2/5
as i continue to understand my depression and how it affects my life, i do a lot of reflection on the past, and events and relationships and how i participated (or chose not to participate) in them. i feel almost like, in order to move forward 1/5
tonight i hopped into #fallout76 quickly and saw a whole bunch of low level peeps on my server. crafted up a bunch of weapons and outfits. if you see civil war suit/dress wearing people wielding flaming pitchforks, it was probably my doing :)
listen, i'm not saying you _should_ buy two and a half pounds of cereal marshmallows in a big jug, i'm just showing you that it's _possible_ https://amzn.to/2JZngO5
I keep typing replies to this and then deleting them. I'll think a bit to see if I can formulate something helpful, rather than just sounding like an over-zealous docent at a museum. You are probably not interested in how "it used to be" and are unable to relate to my experiences
It's June which means it's time for me to again talk about getting started in this industry. This is an important milestone year, as I have been professionally making websites for 1/2 of my life; since 1996.
every time my kids touch a computer they act like a youtuber
