Hey, nice seeing you here.
Teachers usually said I was gifted but a pain to teach and I’d get in trouble frequently for disrupting class, this went on even in university. My psychiatrist says it’s likely I’m actually gifted, but I don’t want to know if I am or not because I’m already too arrogant

The main reason why I use open source is precisely because I don’t need or want to worry about this crap. The software is as much property of humanity as it is of the creator, it is basically just knowledge

hahahahaha like asking a train or Gundam question, too

I’m considering the same for my bipolar. Each time I spiral into depression is worse and worse for me and everyone around me

I just decided not to play games that cutthroat with mine

Gotta go with Dwarf Fortress. Been playing on and off for the past 10 years at least, it’s just endless !!FUN!!

Cards destroyed so many lives but if you say it out loud people think you’re a tin foil hat nutjob

It’s just how things are when we are into niche stuff, I went through this a lot when I was younger. You need to adapt: turn the project solo, look for online collaborators, find an established shoegaze community locally and introduce them to your ideas slowly…

I’ve gotten better at saying please and thank you often, I guess

League was the reason I stalled so long, too, but honestly, Riot is just as bad as Microsoft. Vanguard is unacceptable and we should make our voices heard by not playing their games anymore. There are so many great games running just fine on Linux, nowadays I don’t even feel like I’m restricted at all

Sucks with game nights, though. I have had to reschedule after having bought snacks, prepared the table, etc

Would stuff like Fedora be in danger, in this case? I couldn’t find if Red Hat was US based

In the mornings I’ll usually read news while enjoying a cup of coffee and a Zyn, too, forgot to mention that

Does finance count? I’m usually studying something in the alternative data space (that is, using non-financial data to make decisions on investments) so I can, in the end, make a presentation or deliver a product to someone. For example, an analyst decides to study a clothing company and asks me to scrape their prices in the main Latin American markets (because he thinks they can grow there or something). So I do that for a while and report back to him what I found. If it is interesting, I may be tasked with implementing something in our Excel add-in so he can plug that information into his own models, or I’ll need to develop a model myself.
Lots of spacing out, browsing lemmy and playing bullet chess on my phone, too
