That AI would prolly be based af. Might be an asshole from the trolling we do for the "venting".... I'm thinking of a teenager with class consciousness, marx with acne and memes or some such.

Ha! Found another cornbread commie 🫡

GD right

This smells like concessions to avoid larger inconveniences to me. Obviously I say do that shit... But it's a ways away from eating of the rich that I'd prefer.

I'm using connect again because sync shit the bed it seems with the update, I really can't complain!

You're GD right 🖤

I could DEF learn a lot more in that department. Especially in the realm of farming and food storage

Prepping as in hoarding resources? I'm not so big into that. Prepping so that I and a group over dozens, to hundreds, to thousands of miles could maintain communications? That shit's my special interest.

I definitely feel like I could be a much better communist and find and culture actual relationships and arrangements with others to improve situations for us all.

In all fairness I don't doubt that we have total Nazis in the military. But I also believe there's intentional disregard for any other reason to not want to go Bring Democracy™️

So any resistance to fight on the side of apartheid is straight antisemitism? Not wanting to fight against a Semite people? Got it 🙄

TFU!

I'm a salty commie that wants a mate 60! 😭

Mint is Irish? Aaayyy, I'm Irish! Cool beans... or potatoes, I dunno

Where I completely disagree with disallowing people in Cuba from using a distro... I'd wager at least some of it has to do with redhat being a business that makes money and that is at odds with the horseshit blockade and sanctions. And by that logic I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar from canonical, especially support related as that's something you can purchase if I'm remembering correctly.

That's my thoughts without knowing the specifics so I'm quite literally talking out of my ass and spitballing.

I already have YouTube premium and I've moved from Spotify to YouTube music (since that's included) years ago. I've been using Google podcasts for several years and it works well enough. There's several Patreon podcasts I listen to and until YouTube music supports rss podcasts it won't be my main podcast app.

Now, this stupid "commenting on songs" thing YouTube music added I have zero use for. Why tf would I want to have a social interaction while I'm trying to get a dopamine hit from loud music that rattles my bones so I can FORGET ABOUT SOCIAL INTERACTIONS for just a moment. JFC it makes no sense to me. Apologies, rant over.

When Google gets rss podcasts on YouTube music I'll switch over

I have to prioritize other things, it just doesn't have a place in the budget. Absolutely least of which is a piece of paper that tells other people my brain works a little differently. I'm totally averse to taking medication for ADHD, I "self meditated" for years with "trailer park meff". Clean for over 5.5 years now and I don't plan on taking any sort of stimulants for anything. The most caffeine I drink in a day is 2 cups of coffee every morning.

Besides that, I absolutely do not struggle with it. Since I've allowed my scatterbrained ass to shine unimpeded depression never gets a chance to take hold as my brain "turns the page" to something else when I start to go down, I never ever ever get bored, I have hobbies (you could probably call them rotating special interests, but whatever) that I love to learn about. And more than all that I found happiness. Like I might not look forward to everything I need to do but I'm genuinely excited that I'm here today. Every day. After spending so much of my life in full self destruct mode and really really just not wanting to be alive, it feels amazing. It took over 30 years for me to figure out and accept myself and I'm pretty fuckin fond of the person I am.

Yeah I'm super excitable, yeah when I'm in my moment I appear manic as hell. My attention span for things that aren't my special interests may be shorter than convenient, but I'm me. I love me, besides that it's the only me I'm going to get. I'm supposed to be an individual and I embrace the hell out of that.

I'm not trying to just sit here and toot my own horn but if folks knew how my feelings for myself were so much of a polar opposite from that for the majority of my life.... sorry I'm rambling.

I wouldn't know what to do if my weirdness and eccentricities that I've finally embraced were to disappear or change. I take my qualities and quirks as a part of me and while they can be challenging, I far more often lean on them as the strengths they are for me and the way I handle things AND my happiness.

Would healthcare be neat? I'm sure. I wouldn't know what to do with it though, never used it. I supposedly had fantastic coverage when I was a general manager of a Papa John's, but I never had a chance or desire to use it.

"please put used official foil lid on top of your pod to continue"

I do an ok job of hiding it for the most part. If I'm drinking it really comes out. Or when I'm around a client for work and I'm not interested in dealing with serious conversations beyond work related things I let it slide back into the twang and vocabulary.

If one day I had healthcare and access to testing I might get tested for the 'tism but I'm pretty positive I'm ADHD at an absolute minimum.All that to say that I usually feel like I'm pretending to be human in most social interactions, and letting people around me feel as though I'm like a lot of people around here lets me keep the interaction to the necessary minimum. Unless I'm feeling froggy, and my social battery is charged... then I'm ready to walk conversations into theory without the buzzwords so maybe it'll cook in their head a bit.

I'm squeamish about bugs or water bugs.

I also have a tough time eating animals after I see someone clean it.

Do I wish someone would make a grasshopper burger that wouldn't get chitin stuck between my teeth so I could eat more protein with a lot more of a clear conscious? Hell yeah.

I did that with my lip piercing for a few months! Ended up taking it out though and letting it grow in
