  • I’ve done the same thing. Was already living off grid when I was surprise unemployed last year. Made it about 3 months with no outside input, but eventually got sick from previous medical issues, so had to file for unemployment so I could have enough money to see a doctor.

    A year later I’m now back in regular society with a regular job, trying to save up and start over.

    I’ve learned that I can be prepared physically to go months on my own. But mentally is a different game altogether. Most of the prepper types would likely struggle without a support group. Being by yourself for long periods of time is FAR harder than most people think (myself included). The first few weeks are pretty easy, but it gets significantly harder every day.


  • Adobe promised that Lingo was the future of ‘PC and internet gaming’

    Luckily by the time I had to learn to write that garbage I already coded in several other languages. Made it easier, but somehow more painful. I’m pretty sure that shit was designed so that executives could look at the code and pretend they understood what was going on. At least with ‘common terms’ it eliminated the need for commenting out most of the time. One line of code would take a paragraph of text lol.











  • Got stopped by a rando while trying to build up the courage to jump. Told him that my car was broken down and that’s why I was stopped in the middle of the bridge in pouring down rain.

    He got out and offered to help me, despite the fact that it was 3AM and the rain was coming down hard.

    Awkward.

    The car of course started just fine and I thanked him and continued my drive home.

    I doubt he had any idea the difference he made.
