Yeah, she’s gone lol, I mean I’m 20 and she was 29 with a 9 year old kid and that’s not really what I want in a relationship. But oh my god she was easily the most attractive girl I’ve ever talked to, both in terms of looks and personality.

The healthiest relationships stem from natural friendships because you build up a base of stuff in common and have a lot of trust before you ever make the jump to “do you wanna go out with me?”

See, that’s where I fucked up. My dumbass texted her at 12AM and asked if she wanted to hang out the next day (She’s usually up around that time, we both goto the gym around 11PM, which is why I thought it was okay). But we had only talked around 4-5 times, each conversation we had was good, but when it comes to texting, I fail miserably there. I think I just got too excited to meet her, and was a bit too forward. I completely messed up. Well, now I know not to do that again at least, lesson learned :(

I have to be honest, this made my day

Speaking of Linux, where can I find a woman who’s into that? Defcon?

Didn’t mean it like that. The girl I just talked to came to me first. I really don’t expect every girl to come of me but you’re right regardless. I just was a bit sad.

Yes, I install Libreboot myself with a RaspberryPi and Pomona 5250 testing clip. Anything that’s already supported by Coreboot, can be supported to Libreboot. They have a list of hardware that they currently support listed here:

I actually sold Libreboot laptops previously on eBay, I used to sell the T440p a lot. Now, I’m about to setup my own website so I can start selling them for even cheaper. I also helped add Libreboot support for the Dell Optiplex 9020/7020 (Real thanks goto Mate Kukri, as I used his Optiplex port from Coreboot).

You right, my bad bro

Exactly, it’s not crazy to think like that. I mean, the person who said that could be right, but still, let’s not immediately jump to conclusions by saying they have mental issues.

Well, who else in the world has been trying to a pass multibillion dollar aid package to Ukraine for the past couple months? The aid is about to get voted on this weekend.

Jobs that only do weekdays are such a blessing, I hated working rotating shift!

Well if you kill everyone, will there be anyone left to shame you? Therefore, it wouldn’t be dumb to kill people then.

Dealing with people like that can be super draining. I had this ‘boss’ once who was actually just a coworker. He loved to pick apart everything I did. When I stopped trying to go above and beyond and just worked at a pace that felt right to me, he got really annoyed. He acted like he had authority, saying our real boss sent him to nag about my ‘bad’ work.

Before I left, he made a big scene about being the best worker there and called everyone else terrible. He’d complain about me sitting down to do inventory and then sit down himself a minute later, just showing off his hypocrisy. If you called him out on anything, he’d sulk and be a pain for the whole day. It’s tough working with someone who’s both a bully and acts like they’re the victim. You never knew what mood he’d be in; if he was mad, he’d come in trying to make everyone else mad too, even yelling at his girlfriend on the phone and blasting music all over the warehouse.

And the drama never stopped with him, always bragging about how he never got help from anyone. But I’m like, you were fed as a baby, right? You had a roof over your head? He just seemed ungrateful. Someone needs to give him a wake-up call. The worst was my new manager never stepped in to stop him, and they both acted like I was the problem, making fun of me every day. I didn’t want to sink to their level, but sometimes you’ve got to stand up for yourself quietly, keep notes, and be ready if they push too far. Some people are just awful.

FUCK ME.

I’m sorry to hear that. If you’d like, you can share more about what’s causing the annoyance, or if there’s anything specific you’d like to discuss or alleviate.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re not doing well. If you feel comfortable, sharing more about what’s going on might help, and I’m here to listen.

Elmo thinks it’s important to be careful on the internet and only ask appropriate questions. Elmo wants everyone to stay safe and have a positive online experience!

That’s great to hear! I’ve been doing okay, things have been up and down for me. Does Adam eat ass?
