  • I've just spent six days on holiday with some of my extended family, all adults, staying in a hotel with my own room and en suite bathroom. It was great and we had a lot of fun but after less than a week I'm VERY happy to be back in my own home with the knowledge that it'll just be me and my cat in the morning. Maybe some people would prefer to keep living with family into adulthood, maybe I would if I'd been used to it but as it stands I love my parents and siblings though the idea of living with them fills me with dread.

  • I've tried PopOS as I have a machine with an Nvidia card but every tine I've done the first apt upgrade it nukes grub and won't boot again. Probably something I'm doing wrong and it has been a couple of years since I last tried.

  • Yea when I said that I excel at Excel I was somewhat exaggerating, much as I have at every job interview I've ever had. It's become something of a reflex these days. But as someone else has said I think that particular issue is just down to Excel being crap.

  • My cat hurt his leg and was limping for a while. I thought it was taking a long time to heal and eventually realised that he was still limping in front of me and walking normally when he thought nobody could see him, I'm guessing on the off chance that people would feel sorry for him and give him food.

  • I'm on holiday right now with my extended family. The youngest is 18. It's been great but today is the sixth and final day and I'm ready to go home so I can chill out on my own. The thought of going home and spending more time with this group of adults I'm related to fills me with dread. I can't imagine what it would be like if one of them was a young child, let alone one that I had to be responsible for.

  • Can we admit how completely fucked we are? Donald Trump is destroying the American economy and the American empire.

    You. How fucked you are. Also if you believe in "the American empire" maybe you should be.

  • My country banned smoking in all public indoor spaces almost 20 years ago. As a smoker at the time I thought it was ridiculous, felt that my rights were being violated and thought it would never last. The quality of life improvement it made is massive. Today I vape rather than smoke but wouldn't dream of doing either indoors or being where someone else is. It was 100% the right move. Not quite the same thing but you sometimes can't really understand the benefits of an alternative to the status quo, even if you understand it logically.

  • Been 20 years exactly almost for an actual "concert", like just seeing one or two bands. Travelling to a venue is expensive for me as I live in the middle of nowhere. Plus I don't really have anyone to go with. I go to local gigs with my brother and his girlfriend once every month or two. They travel all over for concerts but I think I'd feel like a third wheel if I went with them, though I might tag along if it turns out they're seeing a band I really want to at some point.

    I went to some festivals in 2023, it feels easier to justify the cost of travel to see a bunch of bands over a whole weekend. Was actually going to go on my own but my brother came with before he got with his gf. Might actually do one on my own next year. Rebellion in Blackpool is great and indoors which is a big plus in the UK.
