    1. I don’t go on vacation to work. I go on vacation to relax. The work phone stays off while I’m away from home.
    2. I work afternoons, so on an average workday I go to bed around 3:30-4:30a and get up around noon. I would never work a job that requires me to get up before then. The only people who get up in the morning are old people, workaholics, and people with kids. I am none of these.




  • The only other thing I can think of is that you’re dual-booting and Windows isn’t playing nice with GRUB as usual.

    If that’s the case, well then this is why I gave Linux and Windows their own dedicated drives, with a switch installed on my case to physically select the drive. That way they can both have their own bootloaders so Windows can’t get in the way. They’re not even aware that the other OS exists.


  • You think that’s crazy, try being in the same house as a cat when you’re tripping on psychedelics. They know when you’ve entered their realm, and the cheeky little bastards like to take advantage of that fact.

    I had this one cat that was a normal cat when I was sober, but liked to pop in and out of existence whenever I was on 25i/2c-e/LSD/etc. This one time I hear him meowing from across the house; I turn towards the sound, and suddenly he’s rubbing against my legs and purring. Reach down to pet him and he’s gone. It was some seriously freaky shit.

    If they’re an indoor cat, buy a cat harness and take them on a walk. Preferably one with a long leash.

    Do not try to walk them like a dog; that will never work.

    Cats are fiercely independent; try to force them in a particular direction and they’ll protest. Let them lead the way.

    If they try to go somewhere dangerous, simply stand in place and do not allow them to progress any further. Do not tug, they will eventually get the message on their own.

    Be prepared to spend a half hour minimum outside, ideally an hour or more. Cats like to take their time on a walk.

    I keep telling my girlfriend this but she doesn’t listen. “I see her drinking her water all the time!”, she says. Yeah well she’d drink a lot more if you moved her water bowl!

    It frustrates me so much because kidney failure is extremely common in cats due to low water intake. She claims that she loves her cat so much yet refuses to research this shit.

    Meanwhile I have two water fountains for my kitty—both far away from the food—and let him drink from sink anytime he wants. She never lets him because he gets in the way of her “skincare routine”, but I am of the opinion that you should never pass up on an opportunity for your cat to drink more water.
