A few things to comment on.

| I didn’t get an iPhone until 2021 or so and all of my android phones before then ran slow in a year or so.

Like your computer, smartphones slow down when you have a lot of things running/idling in the background. They also slow down with bloatware. Cleaning your phone’s memory every so often is a smart practice to incorporate into your ownership of the device. CCleaner is the one I download every so often to do a scan and clean what I can. There’s bound to be a better app option, but that’s the one I know about and have used before.

And just so we’re on the same page, I bought a refurbished Pixel 2 back in early 2020 and it’s been running fine for me. Haven’t noticed any issues with operations except for the screen and the battery not holding its charge as long as it once did. But to be fair, my screen has a few hairpin cracks in it from dropping it on accident a couple of times. And the battery hold on any smartphone degrades with age and usage.

| That never happened with my iPhones.

You’re either super lucky or you’re the kind of person that gets a new smartphone every year or so; for some reason or another.

As I mentioned above, smartphones naturally and unnaturally get slower as they age. But let’s not forget that planned obsolescence is very much being used across the board.

What’s the conversion rate of one MeowMeowBeanz to one Schrute buck?

As a recovering karma whore, I can attest to this.

Oh nice. What kind of ‘indie stuff’ are you making?

I did see that you’re into writing. That’s cool. I’ve been trying to stick with it. I have a decent amount of ideas for stories but not enough typed out. =/

You are trapped in a room of 5 old people who barely know how to use a computer. You must survive in there for 1 hours. The catch is, that they will look at you and ask you a lot of questions about computer related things. Often times they will repeat their question moments later.

Ooh my. That’s a toss up. Go through this or cut off my lower leg. I think I’m gonna go with the latter.

That all sounds like some big brains kinda stuff. If I may ask, what does OpenPGP cryptography have to do with live music mixing/balancing?

I second this. But I’m asking for a future friend.

Oh cool! Which bird from New Zealand has impressed you the most and how so?

I had to look it up myself. It means Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It’s a new medieval RPG video game.

That’s rad. How did the beret turn out?

Also, this is the first time reading out trihexaflexagon and also getting a refresher as to what it is. It’s a really fun word to say. Makes me feel like a top tier rapper when I say it out loud. haha

For a few reasons I determined. But feel free to ask it for other TTRPGs.

I’m currently playing in a DnD 5e campaign and wanted to hear and get inspired by others’ wit, charm, and shenanigans.

Something that I believe a lot of people around me misunderstand, is the fact that I hate “people,” but also want to be connected, share moments, create moments, create things with them, and outlive the biggest assholes of the world.

I hate people who have made life for those they will never meet, worse than ever. I hate those who can’t seem to wrap their heads around the idea that no one wants to be owned in any way. I hate those who didn’t pause to put themselves in someone else’s circumstances and realize the negative effects they can have on them; and ultimately, change their course of action accordingly. I hate those who live their lives for the sake of obtaining more and more money, commodities, wealth, or power over others. The list of reasons goes on, but my time to extend it does not.

You deserve this.

I have a thing called ADHD that makes it really hard for me to read novels. Hell, any story really. But I got really into the TV show and was excited to see such a great TV production come about. The stories were often enthralling and the twists and turns of the material in the first four seasons were amazing. It was I believe at the beginning of season 5 that I heard that George R. R. Martin hadn’t finished the sixth book yet, and there was concern that it would conflict with the TV show adaptation. Story, characters, and conclusion being the largest concerns. It was very concerning to me that by the time that season 6 was announced, The Winds of Winter was still not close to being done. After early season 6 is where I (and I believe a lot of others,) felt like the TV show was starting to stall out and then started to come down in story, character, and outcomes. Season 7 was a mess and the enjoyment of watching was lackluster. But I and most likely a large amount of other fans, felt like they had spent to much time getting ‘involved’ in the story and characters that we just wanted to see where this thing would land. They should have extended the time between the release and production of each season when it was clear that George R. R. needed time to finish things. Extending the wait time I strongly believe would have been accepted by most of the fans as it would have in theory, allowed for the seasons to not slope downward in the previously mentioned qualities. Even if I had to wait up to two years for each of the next seasons, I had concluded that I would rather that accrue than for them to release worse and worse seasons and episodes because they didn’t have the full story to utilize.

I was pissed about what they had done to the series. Season 8 was an abomination.

As the years went on, it became clear to me, that George R. R, Martin was not going to finish the last two books. And honestly… How could he?! The sure amount of backlash that the TV show got when it didn’t stick the landing. I can only imagine that he would rather die a hero for making what he did and not die a villain for what people might think of the last two books of the series.

I still hold onto the moment when I saw a crowdfunding video for it back in 2012. I got so excited that I went over to a friend’s house and showed it to him. I remember him not being that excited but did ask how long until it came out. I thought for a moment while I recalled how long it took Blizzard Ent. to prototype, build, fix, and ship (vanilla) WoW. I said to him. “I figure it will be 4 years before they announce a soft or hard release date. So we might hear about it heavily in 2016 as they get ready to release it sometime in 2017. I’d be surprised if they had to wait till 2018.” 💀

R.I.P. to those who said they would hold their breath for it to come out.

Exactly how I interpreted it the second time listening to it, many, many years ago.

'Cause Jesus. He knows me and He knows I’m right I’ve been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes, He knows me and He knows I’m right Well, he’s been telling me everything is alright
