I’m not watching your homophobic video.

yes, maps apps is what mean

Stores that sell clothes branded with one college’s logo / name.

I use it for translation help, speech-to-text, text-to speech, routefinding, and of course controlling mobs in videogames.

I read to sleep.

I’ve spent entire workdays only speaking Spanish here in Chicago.

Some of us get a four-day work week… this week.

used to mean: I love you, coming home, by bike, by train, I like this, I hear you, incomplete to-do, completed to-do, removed to-do, WTF is wrong with them

So… what’s my personality? “Very married”?

No, but I don’t think that’s a moral failing. More of a skill issue. Or maybe motivation.

The Anna Taylor Joy Emma I though was great, and the soundtrack is amazing, but my wife only likes the soundtrack and not the movie.

That summer high energy curve tells me you must live somewhere without much humidity.

Wishing I wasn’t staunch doesn’t sound very staunch to me…

But you answer your question, yes, I’m resolute in my convictions. I don’t have many of them but the ones I have are worth defending.

Thankfully, no.

Work Refirm, Folk Punk, Gardening, Stupid Questions, Chicago, Bicycling, Dad Jokes, all of these have active communities

Proud? No. But I am grateful.

The summer I spend homeless after mooching off my roommate and (now former, due to this) best friend until they couldn’t support me any more. I didn’t know how to adult, basically, how to earn enough money to pay my bills and keep my bills low enough to match my income.

I got back up with some hard work, a lot of help (other friends who found me work, places to live, helped me move and store my most precious possessions while I was homeless), and a huge amount of luck.

As income, it’s poor. As rent, it’s high-to-average depending where you live and how many roommates. As food budget, very high. As disposable income, very very high.

To spend on an Internet sugar baby? Huge amount.

I’d rather a feed that updates twice a day but everything is on-topic and worthwhile than one where I have to sift through reposts and screenshots to find those two worthwhile posts.

I tend to mentally assign my coworkers into three categories: Sharks, Soldiers, and Mercenaries.

Sharks are out for themselves and their money and will do whatever they think they can get away with to get more.

Soldiers are just there to put their head down and work. They won’t do anything extra to get ahead, they just want to make their money and go home.

Mercenaries are the least predictable. They work when they feel like it and will generally seize easy money but won’t hustle for it. They don’t plan and they don’t prep more than they must.

These all take different strategies to get along with as coworkers; I’m enough of a Shark myself to be wise to their tricks and set firm boundaries so they cross someone else’s lines instead of mine. You gotta be friendly with the Soldiers because they are the ones who keep the wheels spinning, but keep some distance as well so you don’t upset their work / life balance. Mercenaries you keep on a leash; you distract them when you need something but tug the chain when they’re trying to be sneaky.
