I sleep so much I’ve got plenty to spare! Anybody who needs more sleep, contact me & I’ll sell you some of my reserve. $100/hour.

I agree. There are some extremely niche subreddits that I dearly miss & wish I could participate in.

I haven’t tried it yet but I thought the only way I can try to make a new Reddit user name is logging in on the library computer but even libraries require you register your photo ID with them and then your identity is linked to your library card, so surely reddit & Google & every platform can identify everyone regardless of logging in on new computers, right? That’s my speculation.

Our niche interest communities are slowly being formed on the Fediverse, but if nobody participates then 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m so glad I was permabanned with no possible way to ever login under any new or existing username ever again. That’s the only way they could keep me away. It’s been healthy for me.

People ask me that sometimes. Because I have a unique look that people can’t quite pinpoint. They think Italy or Greece or Latina or one person thought I was Chinese 🙄

But I’m 50% German, 25% Irish, 12.5% Spain, and 12.5% Navajo.

The Navajo olive complexion is strong, with a German big nose, and fiery Irish personality & stoic pragmatic blunt German demeanor.

You just bought it? Well I’ve got news for you. It’s going to start nagging you about ink cartridges in a couple months. Yes even laser printers do this. I thought just like you when I bought a laser printer that I had escaped the ink cartridge nightmare. Nope.

Are people still out there buying new ink cartridges every time they need to print something? I was sick of that s*** in 2019 and returned my printer to Costco and I’m never buying another printer again.

And if that scam will never go away, I just want to know who is on the earning end of that scam, and how can I become that person.

Were you homeschooled? That’s the only way I can imagine a kid could escape homework, because traditional shitty schools require homework. Because schools’ objective is to make children miserable & accustomize them to the agonizing relentless pressures of responsibility. I’m sincerely happy for you that you broke free from that bullshit & found true enjoyment in childhood, while traditional shitty schools rob children of their childhood joy 😥

Never trying alcohol or drugs or cigarettes or gambling. My whole life I’ve had a strong intuitive sense to avoid all that stuff, and I’ve never even had the slightest desire. When I was in the army my colleagues would tease me that eventually some day I would crack and give in to the dark side, but nah.

What year did they change that?

But apartment rental? Car?

So as a consequence of those awful predatory student loans, you can’t buy a house or finance a car or get approved for an apartment or loan?

Did it used to be escapable by filing bankruptcy or something?

True but it’s impossible to default on FAFSA loans. That stuff hangs over people until it’s paid or until they die.

Honestly a lot of education doesn’t stick either way. Repetition and living the lessons is what really makes learning stick.

Damn. Glad you got it back. Good on ya loading it up with alarms & security now, and eff those kids for their repeated attempts.

How did you get it back after they stole it?

I’ve never personally seen him IRL.
