Hot criminy, your desktop / wallpaper is a functioning terminal that somehow leverages neovim?

Yeah, that's what I'm running on my main computer at the mo'.

Again, you have my apologies for that remark of mine that likely motivated you to make this topic. I wasn't having the best day that day. I actually knew that you'd been living shit-free for some time; I just felt like opening up old wounds for the sake of engaging in social activity, but mostly for a quick laugh to help myself feel better.

So that was it? You have my apologies, then.

don't allow trash into your home

But allowing piles of dog-shit in your home is okay, right?

Technically, they are neither living nor dead.

To answer your question though, there were chalkboards at the college I went to over six years ago. Take that as you will.

thought of having more than 1

You mean because the average working man doesn't exactly have the time to leverage more than one televised entertainment subscription service during a given payment period?

technology give you the tools to become more intelligent, meaning you are able to think more deeply about things.

True, but some technologies enable you to be more lazy when solving problems; for example, some students in college may likely search up the solutions for their homework on stackexchange, instead of using the resources they've been given to try to do it themselves.

It was bad

You mean because of the Kaguya thing?

when really they mean, 'I don't want you to'. I remember classmates I went to school with telling me over again things like, "You don't have to use the computer", "You don't have to write", or "You don't have to do that" in reference to my reading a book, or "You don't have to mark me down" whenever they were convinced that I was a TA after an actual TA told them that so that they wouldn't need to deal with them. "You don't have to go this way", they would say when I tried to go down a corridor with fewer people in it; I had social anxiety. "You don't have to talk back to me", they would say if I tried to scold them. "You don't have to report me to the teacher", they would say if they did hit me. I was afraid of being caught studying, and in school no less. Just earlier this year, I encountered a hair stylist who said that I didn't 'have to' get a haircut that I desperately needed. "Not if I didn't want to," she would keep adding insistently whenever I said 'Yes' to her over again. "You don't have to slow down for me at an intersection that has traffic lights installed, because even though I'm still going 50 MPH near the intersection, I'll stop, probably". That last one was an exaggeration, by the way; but I still feel the need to complain about it. I'm just getting so sick of people nearly giving me heart attacks when they're driving. I'm sick of having to wait for them to come to a complete stop at intersections with traffic lights.

People obviously say this because they don't want to look bad; they don't want to be reminded of how entitled they are. They're lying to themselves and encouraging others to take part in their delusions.

What's this damned world coming to?

That being said, the expression, "That won't be necessary" has been around for a while.

why spend big when everyone will buy your game anyway?

I'm trying to figure out if this is the heart of the mindset of a successful artist who no longer gives a damn about putting in any creative effort, or the mindset of a corporate mogul, laughing as he takes a shower in your money.

You have no idea how much it depresses me to hear that spam is life-support for the U.S. Postal Service.

No, I switched over to Linux Mint over four years ago.

I just stopped caring after a while, I think.

Mental health is important. You can call in sick for mental health reasons, not that you have to give a reason to whomever you have to call in to.

Thanks for the validation, guy. I really appreciate it.

Did you

I did not.

It all started when I had to turn in my car for repairs over a week ago. They still haven't been able to fix it. They said initially that they'd be able to fix it on Thursday. Then on Friday, they claimed that they needed extra parts, which they claimed won't arrive until Monday at the soonest. It's driving me crazy (no pun intended). I am starting to lose it. I used to have this system of cleanlienss in my life that has disintegrated ever since I turned my car in. I used to have a mental store of what had 'inside germs' and what had 'outside germs'. Stuff that had 'inside germs' generally comprised my bed, my kitchenette, and a spot on my couch I'd sit on in order to use my personal computer. Stuff that had 'outside germs' would generally be things I'd have to take outside, like my wallet, my phone and my backpack. But now I've been taking Uber rides to work, and it's just been disastrous for my mental health; the thought of sitting in all these foreign cars, not knowing what other strangers have sat in them before me --- it's been taxing on my mental health. I've been in full-panic mode for over a week now, and it's been hell, to say the least. My memory's been failing as a result of my nerves. It's getting harder and harder for me to remember what I touched, what type of germs it had, and what objects I had touched since then. Now, I feel like everything's just falling apart. I've found myself constantly washing and cleaning, trapped in a cycle of trying to rid myself of germs that I can't even remember were there or not. I won't lie that I give into my OCD-like tendencies like this subconsciously out of spite and a need to see equilibrium restored to my life. My system of cleanliness has essentially been disintegrated, much like that Communism thing in the year 1990, and now the East and the West of my Germany are mixed together in ways that are just driving me insane. I really can't take it anymore. For the past two months, I've had to spend a lot of money on a lot of expenses: a bill for the MRI I had to undergo, a busted tire on my car, a bunch more doctor expenses, the expenses I had to incur when ensuring that my apartment had a water supply I would be unable to fret about, and now my car engine needs maintenance. It's been hectic and trying. I've been waiting for that point in the year when I don't need to spend any more money and I can start recuperating my losses with my income. But so far, that point is yet to come; the anxiousness and anticipation of both this and waiting for my car to be ready are wracking my nerves until they are well wrought. I really need to return to my equilibrium, and wait for it is killing me. I'm about to collapse. I can't focus on my projects anymore, because all I can think about how it'll get contaminated by the 'outside germs' that may or may not be in my 'inside germ' space. I can't stop obsessing over setting everything right once my car is finally ready to be picked up. A part of me is spiteful towards the dealership's shop; my car's my damn sanctuary from it all. People are extremely painful to deal with. One Uber driver pressed me to add an extra seventeen-dollar tip to the thirty-three dollar fare that he already accepted for driving me to work. Not only that, but co-workers have been giving me the finger; they've been whispering about me, giving me dirty looks and such; I really can't stand being around them. I get an awful feeling that something bad is going to happen when I quit soon, a hazing to send me off, as I am wont to endure thanks to all those years I spent in intermediate school, high school, and college as well. All they seem to do is get in my way when I try to get to my desk; as I write this I realize this may not be all accidental. I tell myself that I don't care, and I act like it too. But the truth is, it's way more trying than I let on. I really can't do this anymore. That's not even taking into account my CPTSD from a suppressed childhood that I can only half-remember properly. I can't even trust my so-called family with my troubles; I can't even be sure if they were part of my childhood abuse or not. I want to say they weren't, but I'm not too sure. I'm also remembering traumatic things that may not have even happened; they might be things that actually have happened, but they might be things that I am only afraid have happened. I'm sick of being here. Nobody here can spell right. I feel like the longer I have to spend time around them, the more they'll rub off on me; the thought gives me the damn shivers. I just don't like bad grammar; it makes me wince. Unfortunately, there's so much of it going around. It's like a bad disease that no one gives a damn about because they just lack the ability to notice it. I feel like I'm about to faint.

"For The Children"

Good God, I cannot resist the urge to point out the irony.

I didn't have much if any free time until six in the PM today. And now I'm tired and wanna collapse onto my bed, moaning about how I just can't catch a break in regards to being able to slow down and enjoy myself. Also, I hate my job and I lose sleep during the weekdays over dreading having to go and do stuff there for eight hours straight. Is this what being an adult feels like?

Seconded. I originally migrated because I was sick of Microsoft's constant updates. Now I'm hooked because I can do a lot with the terminal now.

This topic sounds a lot like an episode of that Japanese cartoon with the magical orange orbs with which one can summon forth that eternal wish-granting dragon.
