If only I had stayed for seconds on bacon that day

Choosing the university near my home village.

If you're still in secondary school, only apply to units far enough away that your parents will have no choice but to let you move out.

YOU of all people should know

Shouldn't have looked

Simultaneously it's saying things but also not saying things.

Panicked at the wrong moment.

[โ€“] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

if yiu keave ua hanging, imaginations run wild.

in the middle of a noodle restaurant, what you thought was explosive diarrhoea turned out to only be a fart as u dashed for the shitter tripping over the waiter and ending up in a sexy love embrace where that fart finally escaped?

sudo rm -rf ../* for a brief moment
I was not at /run/media/F16C-BD43/boot
Sudo lost.
Move lost.
Copy lost.
No cloud.
Undecryptable.
Everything else worked.
I said my goodbyes.

Let the dog in the neighbors open door.

[โ€“] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

This happened some time ago, but I did something kinda bad/cringe and afterwards I thought "I really shouldn't have done that" and it haunts me to this day. That is my biggest regret.

A half measure

[โ€“] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

i "retired" at 40 am now 60, my regret is not retiring sooner.

i had a near death experience at age 35, where I genuinely thought that was the end, this was the catalyst to changing my life.

I would recommend an NDE for anyone to bring into focus what is important vs what you think is important

[โ€“] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Okay as cryptic as possible, hmm, let me see... I encrypted everything and lost the keys?
