Case

Pretty much it, I’ve been made an “honorary black man” twice, once for handling my self well at a black fraternity a former roommate was joining, and once… well, for the alleged size of my wedding tackle. I don’t count that last one as a good reason, but I didn’t say it.

Are you black? No? Don’t say it. Don’t sing it. Do your best to remove it from your mental vocabulary and thoughts as well. Its an ugly word from an ugly time, that a fear we’re heading towards again, so… yeah. Just no.

Remember, race doesn’t matter. This is class warfare. We are villagers trying to survive pillaging dragons, ending lives and hoarding wealth with no benefit to any sort of greater good.

This is a time of dragons, look to the dragon slayers of old for guidance.

No no, I get it.

I do my best not to bother with form.

I just make shit work.

If you wanna pretty up my scripts for some sort of distribution, go for it.

But I’m done with it after that. That’s the companies problem now.

Before moving, there was a Goth club called The Church.

That outfit would, from what I’ve heard, be far too formal and restrained.

Apparently, and this was coming from a platonic female friend, anal is like shaking hands there so what do I know. I never had the urge to drive from North Fort Worth to Downtown Dallas to drink, and then turn around and drive back after drinking and possibly making stupid choices.

I have two types, natural redheads, and goth chicks.

Don’t be self conscious, be self aware .

If your wedding tackle has shifted at all during your swim, may be try to get out away from the others a bit, not a creepy amount, but like… Be on one end of the group, turn away slightly when transitioning from water to land, place your hands “casually” in a way to cover yourself without drawing attention, all sorts of little tricks you’ll internalize before you know it, but it starts with being self aware.

Yeah, and if you get out of the water and have a “flattering” outline in your shorts, its suddenly becomes a much larger issue being the only adult male, and with children around… eesh.

I mean, I don’t know if I’d still be interested in women after being a vampire that long, but I’d like to think so.

Go to a country with lax sex laws (or at least enforcement), set up a bordello and feed on the workers while they sleep off their necessary highs for doing sex work for a horrible human (vampire) being.

Plus, under the rules I’m fixating on mentally, drinking the blood of someone who is high will get the vampire high, and after hundreds of years plus immortality, I’m gonna get high at some point lol.

WD-40 is not a lubricant, it can do it short term, but makes things worse long term.

WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement - Formula 40.

Its to keep mechanical components hydrophobic so they don’t rust or otherwise degrade due to the presence of water.

For locks and keyways, you want powdered graphite as a lubricant. I keep a small tube (puffer style) in my pick kit if needed.

Or slightly more expensive, if legal in your area, are actual locksmith tools.

I have a pick set I busted out this morning to unlock a pad lock on our circuit breaker (outside for some stupid reason, locked because its a new development and we had construction workers turn the house off while me and the wife were the only people on our respective jobs working the shift remotely)

We need power to run desktops. A UPS is handy, but its a bandaid to shut down correctly until power is restored fully.

I been dealing with ADHD (diagnosed) since the age of 7.

It is a pendulum, but it doesn’t just swing back and stop.

Throw in bipolar disorder, and your world can go to shit rapidly and you probably will not understand how until after you’ve done the damage of trying to fix it.

Plus how many people have multiple computers in the house?

I sure as fuck do.

I generally run a phone (just because it was mentioned), a desktop, and a laptop.

Plus, my wife technically has three jobs (1 full time, 2 PRN) and hardware (laptop) from each of them, plus she not only has a windows laptop, but a macbook, plus her phone, plus her tablet… it goes on, lol.

My desktop is currently on windows as I’m relying on some third party tools for a game, and I just haven’t had the energy to look into it and get it running on Linux. (EQ private server, well within their rules, though their rules don’t match the live environment - just wanted to clarify I wasn’t cheating anyone, if they include install instructions on the home page, I assume its allowable, plus the GMs give advice in chat for configuration for newbies)

The laptop, is almost, without fail, some flavor of Linux. Its a personal machine, but I’ve mostly worked night shift help desk… sometimes there is time to kill. So I keep it in my backpack of tools and other shit, boot it up and continue whatever I was looking into previously to entertain myself.

Technically, I’m studying for an advanced role at <Insert Company> on the security team, for the most part, lol.

Just because I cracked the coffee shop next doors wifi to borrow their internet (So I can view things that are NOT on my employer’s network on my personal phone) doesn’t mean I’m doing anything nefarious to my employers, and the coffee shop had the wifi password written on a board at their stations, but they were closed because while people may NEED coffee at 2AM (especially to keep fucking children’s hospitals running), they don’t seem to care.
