Found out about that one the hard way in college. Ew.

Like Abe Lincoln always said, take anything you see written online with a grain of salt and, until you see conclusive evidence otherwise, assume it’s a creative writing exercise.

Late fall - gets cool enough at night that I sleep really well, without being so cold throughout the day that my toes get cold.

Depends on my mood. If I’m feeling good I’m usually pretty nice, but if I’m hangry then I get not-nice.

Taylor Swift. She’s cute I guess but her music is the audio equivalent of a lukewarm stale glass of milk.

Dating apps are at best a crapshoot. They’re more interested in prying money out of you than anything else.

Like others have said, doing things you enjoy is a good way to meet people who enjoy the same things. Maybe you won’t meet your next bf/gf/etc directly, but perhaps someone you’ll meet has a cute single friend.

Being in a positive and healthy relationship is better than being single, but single-hood is better than being in an unhealthy and dysfunctional relationship.

Dating seems a bit like working on your mental health, in that both imply working on self-improvement (which ultimately should be done for intrinsic reasons, not just because it may get you laid).

Like the quote from the Bojack season 2 finale: “It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day. That’s the hard part. But it does get easier.”

Haha good point, i hadn’t considered the odds of 99 out of 8 billion including an identical twin

No identical twin then?

I’m about to be seated for five hours straight with no possibility of standing or moving around. I’m standing while I still have the opportunity.

He does, despite the trouble you normally have when your name is Terrence.

I listen to a synthwave station on Pandora.

It features artists like Com Truise (example: Brokendate) and Magic Sword (example: In The Face Of Evil).

I know it’s not for everyone, but I really dig it.

Do you look back on any aspects of it nostalgically?

I miss having a socially acceptable excuse to hang out at home and not have to spend all my spare time out & about.

I miss having a full workday where I could complete all my actual work in an hour and spend the remaining seven hours playing video games while being available through Teams & email should something arise.

I miss being able to wake up at 755, chug a diet dr pepper, and still get to work on time.

I miss being able to spend the workday in flipflops and boxers, and only putting on a shirt if I had a video call.

I don’t miss all the death & misery & related bullshit, but those are the things that I do miss.

All the longer term users who keep the ecosystem functional will leave in frustration. That is, the ones who didn’t leave already over spez deciding to kneecap third party clients.

Once those users are gone, the death spiral starts.

Stuff that would theoretically have been possible, in no particular order:

• develop better study & time management skills so college doesn’t kick my ass nearly so badly
• walk on to the college’s cross country team. After all, it was a D3 school, they’ll take just about anyone. Would’ve been a great way to avoid putting on 60 pounds in school.
• spend more time taking advantage of the free therapy sessions in the student health center and maybe God forbid not fall as far into the pit of depression

Spez isn’t on here

In some order:

Laundry, grocery shopping, clean up around the house a bit, play some video games, maybe buy some stuff online.
