I am very saddened by the general attitude people come at about making new friends with age, on any side of the discussion. I've got like 30 friends right now (active, some friends are still friends but show up once a year or something), and I started with half that in my 20s. It has been growing slowly. Yeah some people fell out (Trump related more than anything else) but like, I just made 7 new friends in the last few years and it wasn't hard. It was just being open to meeting new kinds of people.

By the way: I'm an introvert

That's why I'm thankful I haven't updated mine and it's an older model. People should look out for that for sure.

Bonus is you can buy third party refilled toner in bundles for like $15 for 3. I bought some a couple of years ago and I still haven't burned through the first replacement

I used to think it was making video games. And then my dreams were strangled by the game company I worked for at 21 and they made me watch. I also got sexually assaulted at work.

This world will take advantage of you and your passions. It will work you to death, pay you just enough to afford a meager apartment, and force you to smile through abuse. It will gaslight you into thinking your hard work will always be rewarded. And then it will discard you in your most vulnerable moment.

Dream jobs aren't real. You just get comfortable doing what you're good at in order to afford doing the things you actually dream about

You're simply not paying attention, because you don't have to. Not to be harsh. I went from male to female and how I'm treated is night and day. You've never tried to see how the other side lives, and when you heard stories that went against your experiences you dismissed them like your mind is trying to do right now.

Why does it happen? Nurture. History. Patriarchy. I could blame a lot of things. It's mostly that men never get treated the way they treat women.

Percentile dice (two ten-sided ones) are read with one die representing the 10s digit, the other the ones digit.

00 and 0 = 100

10 and 0 = 10

The shit people come up with as alternatives to reading the results are wrong
