Dude, what you speak of is just plain silliness. Do you not understand that in the realm of pirating, you take risks just for simply downloading in what the laws say is 'illegal'?

There is no such thing as 'safe' when it comes to downloading except getting a clue or a suspicion about what you're downloading and where it's from.

Again, it is common sense. Pirating is all about risk and reward. Risk, whether you infect your machine or get penalized by your ISP or get fined/jailed for your piracy. Reward, the files you acquire that aren't a blip on the radar of your ISP and doesn't contain malware or viruses.

Common Sense. That's not a joke.

Everyone knows that if I want something, it had better be useful or meaningful. Anything less, I'm discarding.

XMas just makes me feel exhausted and wishing it'd be over. I've steadily grown less and less festive over the years. I just can't get that worked up, every year, over any holiday. And XMas is the worst of it because it's everywhere all around you. You can't go anywhere or listen to anything or talk to anyone without it ever being brought up.

I'm tired of the pressure to buy this or buy that. I'm tired of this month long pause with people because of how hyperfocused they are to celebrate a holiday that's been so tainted by capitalism that any spirit left over has been drained.

Grow up and stop being a sensationalist.

To be quite honest, I've not made a single bit of effort in making a will, nor have I decided on life insurance nor have I made any arrangements to heirs or anything else. My family is beyond trusting, to me, so that is entirely out the window regarding them. And another thing is that my 'retirement' plan is a plan of permanence at my own discretion, so the thought of making a will or having life insurance is on the bottom of a priority list.

My main concerns when I decide my time is up, is where I'm going to be and how much I want to leave behind and for whom. That's pretty much it.

I've not recalled an instance where employers go through your social media. First, it's none of their business and second, they don't even know where to look because I haven't shared or told them. What they should be concerned with is whether I've committed any crimes or if I have anything that jumps out at them that makes them consider or not consider me. Social Media should never be a determinable factor.

Any dumb and vaguely open-ended advice. Like "just be yourself".

What if you're improving yourself because the real you sucked? Do you just give that all up and return to what you were? Whoever first said that piece of advice, obviously didn't think it through enough.

It's Google. Of course not.

Nah, you'll fucking update me anyways whether I want to or not, MIcrosoft.

 

So you buy a nice two shelf bookcase but it's wobbly and you know it won't hold much. I've recently gotten one and my solution was to put L-brackets on it. After installing about 8 of these brackets at the cojoining parts of the shelving, it is now completely stable and ready for use.

 

When all of your exes get to happily move on in relationships that aren't you and you get nobody for extended periods of time.

While you're prideful in yourself to know that whatever relationship you get won't feel as tainted as theirs because maybe they're manipulative. The thing about it is that, I've tried being upfront, honest, detailed and everything to get someone with.

And I guess working on yourself and trying to improve aren't exactly attractable qualities.
