I sometimes end up, what started as small talk, in these long talks with strangers opening up to me. Most people need to vent so I ask follow up questions, but after trauma dumping on me, which I’m super interested in, they get to a part of a story I’m bored with and I feel bad telling them: Ty for opening up completely to me, a random stranger, but you’re boring me now so…bye.

This is me with selfhosting. I can manage my server for one minor issue all day but having to write kills me.

Careful there. Going through life with that mindset will prevent you from learning and growing.
Don’t discount any idea until you’ve picked it apart.
Yeah, people are dumb, but if you assume you’re always right, you will be too.
1.) Totally and completely in jest, and from the experienced view as lifelong captain of this meat-ship powered by an ADHD warp core. I do not disagree.
2.) Let us not forget the immortal words of Saint Tommy, “A person can be smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.”
What’s funny is that I was thinking about that quote immediately after I typed my comment.
Not all ideas are good, but a good idea can come from anywhere.
My download and upload bandwidth rates are not equal.
Im the exact opposite of this meme please infodump at me :3
Actually having to listen to a real person who can tell when you aren’t paying attention is so much more taxing than pretending to absorb information from a screen.
