I am not a man of any faith, but prayers for a timely stroke have crossed my mind.

Pointless circles, solved!

Bep bup! German Bot here!

"Das ist richtig" means "That is true"

Like and follow this bot so its creator may someday claw themselves out of the joyless pit they have dug themselves.

This vibes with me, but fifteen years ago me.

Installed Ubuntu on my first netbook and had to sit in the stairs to the second floor jacked into the single Ethernet cable we had for a few hours to troubleshoot it.

I haven't used every distro, but it seems like most of them are plug and play these days.

At the Science and Industry museum in Chicago they have/had step by step see-through models of a woman's guts before, during, and after pregnancy.

I took a date there and we had a great time. Arrived at that exhibit and we just stood there for a minute, witnessing how jumbled up the post pregnancy innards were.

I said, "I'll never do that to you."

She said, "Thank you."

Hey buddy, I can clearly lick my chickens whenever I want.

Somehow I'm getting two-three texts every day from this scumbag, though I've never voted conservative or signed any conservative petitions.

Different number every time, so I can't block them.

Help.

This is very true, but every porch pirate isn't a moral free tweaker willing to do whatever it takes to score. I think the average down on their luck schmuck would have fewer qualms vandalizing an automated delivery system.

I'll be a rare beacon for somewhat positive home schooling. At least when I started it in the late 90s. Graduated highschool in 2000.

Yeah, there is a fair amount of religious nut jobs/conservatives when you get out in bufu, but my group was mostly kids with hippie parents and kids with learning disabilities that would have never thrived in public school.

Maybe our group was more social than some of these extremist religious groups, because I had plenty of friends and social interaction. Homeschool isn't always kids being locked away from society by crazy parents, sometimes it is the last option of a misfit child that would fail to thrive if forced into the mould of a model student.

The main thing that I missed out on, by not going to high school proper, was getting regularly bullied and the stress of having to hurry to the bus every morning. If homeschooling hadn't been an option I'd of just been a drop out.

I suppose a number of people would still consider me a drop out because I wasn't forced to suffer as they did.

Edit: I'll add that my group were mostly naturalist/scientist in learning. As far as I know there weren't any flat-earthers/creationists. Maybe I was lucky because of my geographic location.

Maybe things are different now, but that's how it was for me back in the 90s/2000s.

I miss having knowing there's a Radio Shack around the corner if I need an obscure component or an exotic battery for a project.

Yeah, you can find anything online now, but you have to wait for it to ship, hope it doesn't get lost or stolen, and hope they actually sent the right part.

Edit to add: Basically 80-90s RS, not the husk that it was more recently that sold mostly phones and crap toys around the holidays.
