How many restaurants do they need to qualify as a chain?

There is this local burger place that makes fast food burgers but of slightly better quality than the usual suspects.

Otherwise they tend to be the same to me.

I used some app that was basically a gui for ssh/scp. Works wonders.

I don't want kids so that narrows down the dating pool to something more like a dating puddle.

I generally keep to myself. Every social skill I have comes from deliberate practice.

I did manage to find a girl. What I did:

Figure out what my strengths are and in what situations I get to show them. I get compliments on having a pleasant voice. So anywhere I'll talk some is good.

Work on mitigating your weaknesses.

Work on being a {pick one or more: fun/pleasant/useful/positive/etc} person to be around.

What I did not tell you is how long I had to do this.

Carmageddon 2 is the racing game I played the most of. Followed by Need for speed 3.

Both very old because I have not done much racing games since then.

Eggs. I did not like them at all (except as an ingredient in pancakes) for a quarter of a century. Now I do like myself a hard boiled egg with a pinch of salt for breakfast

For me personally? Most likely worse, so far 2024 has been good with unusually few issues. I expect 2025 to regress to the mean amount of misfortune.

Work, gmail with a regrettable name i picked in my teens and can't be bothered to migrate away from. Other gmail that I only have on my phone. Work mail, personal mai with firstname@uniquesurname

Given the opportunity move somewhere where your rent to pay ratio is better.

I'd make more living in a big city. I have much more leftover every month by living in a small town far away from everything.

Am I the only one who can't think of anything like this?

Avoid them when you can. Clear, minimal, a bit more polite than you would like to be when you can't. If it's work related focus on your common goal.

I'd also advise you to take some time to reflect on what makes them dislike you. If you find a lot of people who dislike you for similar reasons you may have to evaluate if you should (and can) change.

Provoking illegal behaviour should not be encouraged.

Attitude: I generally don't care unless they try to tell me what to do based on their religion. This is generally never a problem, I've had more vegans and environmentalists bother me.

Getting along: we have some high faith denomination of Christianity here. I've worked with a few and generally don't notice unless they drop something heavy on their foot and don't swear.

Thought of believing: not since I was 12 or something.

Do not like faiths: I acknowledge they can create a sense of community and belonging. I have a dim view of the dogma that tends to come with them.

Implying I'm hated in real life? I try my best to be reasonably polite and mind my own business. I guess that is reason enough for some.

Shutdown -P now in the wrong terminal window and a server at the other side of the country went down.

Electrical work and blacked out the entire 500m level in the mine.

No, I'm not.

As for social acceptance I like my personal space. Don't care what you do as long as I can opt out.

Technically true If they close the phone line at night.

Increased support for Ukraine.

It's at the moment more important than solving any domestic issues.

(I most likely don't live in your country, only argue for your favored domestic issues if you really have nothing better to do).

Troll grade: C-.

Troll grade: C-.

Vim, I've not given emacs a fair try yet. At work I've got to use what I've got to use and neither is an option. At home the last thing I want to do is write more code.

When I do have a choice I'm not doing much more complicated things than editing a config file and anything more advanced than cat would do I guess.
