Thanks friend. ❤️

Had to put my dog down a few months ago and it still hurts. I hate coming back to a silent empty home. I hate leaving the house without saying goodbye to my dog. I knew it was going to be painful, but I didn’t know it would hurt this much.

You keep it. I’ve kept a few items like that from my beloved dog.

An underused word to be sure

I did what I could to earn enough money to pay my rent, support my pets, and put food on my table.

Also, my current views on ads have been largely formed in a gradual process over the last 5-7 years, while I’ve been working in VO long before then.

If it’s any consolation to you, AI has devoured most of my market in the last 3 years and left me with maybe 5-10% of the work I used to get.

you’re one of them

More accurately I WAS one of them, but people change 😊

It’s the smarmy, overly excited, commercial voices for me. And I’m saying that as a VO artist who’s produced HUNDREDS of smarmy, overly excited commercials over the years. I’m so sick of it. I’ve taken drastic steps to try and block all ads from my life. Somehow it’s never enough.

For almost everyone it’s gonna be the phone we’re reading this on.

Went over that bridge in Baltimore last year about an hour before it collapsed. Felt lucky

Maybe the dumbest possible idea here from government regulators. You think you’re going to somehow legislate certain geometry out of existence? “Sorry, you can’t print that ILLEGAL SHAPE with the printer you own!” Same vacant headed assholes that think they can ban encryption. Fuck off, shrivel up and perish, please.

I was surprised by how well Garuda KDE just… Works. Many users warned me to stay away from the smaller distros like Garuda but I’ve had zero issues after 6+ months of everyday use on 2 devices.

What’s the singular, then?

Couldn’t possibly agree more. One of the biggest barriers to sharing my enthusiasm for Linux with my friends is filtering out all of the cringey anime weeb shit that somehow gets posted along with it. Why does open source software need to be associated with creepy drawings of little girls? Absolutely the worst vibes.

The first one I remember using was good old Windows 98.

I don’t know, you seem to be using more advanced vocabulary and word choice in this thread than could be explained just with autocorrect.

Sending love to you brother. I wish I knew the right magic words to say that would help you love yourself like you should. I hope one day you find what you need.

I’m throwing shots in the dark here, but your English seems very proficient. Is there a possibility that your excellent English skills could be an avenue to making money in your home country? Forgive my ignorance. I can feel your pain through your posts. Just wanna help.

Black skinnies and a black tee. Every single day lol

I want it to be adopted by Framework

I recently left a job that most people would consider to be a very “cool” job. I previously would have considered the restaurant industry to be in this category of “you couldn’t pay me enough.” But I took a job as a cook, and it’s honestly been pretty good. I am getting used to the work, I get to exercise some creativity, the results are immediate and feedback from satisfied customers is nice. So I guess that changes over time.
