Went to my very first concert this year, actually (Porter Robinson). It was awesome (was in the front row, too!). Now I’m hooked and I already booked tickets for two other ones this year. 🥰
The reason why I never went to any concert in my life was a mixture of having too much social anxiety and not enough money. Tackled both of these problems, but it took me a while.
Silo. I like the music so much!
…and also: Gargoyles!
One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again!
We are defenders of the night. We are gargoyles!
Bear McCreary’s music is such a masterpiece.
“This is the best time of your life, it will never be as easy.”
I wasted more time at school than at work and I didn’t have Fridays off, so that was a lie.
Genau für solche hochqualitativen Pfosten bin ich hier. 😆
Ich wohne direkt neben einer Kirche und der Schall ist kaum hörbar. Ich vermute, weil der direkt über meine Bude hinwegzieht und alle anderen in der Innenstadt belästigt. War so nicht geplant beim Umzug, aber hat mich dennoch sehr gefreut.

Use knockd and iptables, gone are the fucking bots.
And does it get easier to manage as you start to get used to it and make a routine?
European here. I worked many years for 40h/week and I never got used to it, really. There was not enough spare time in my life to enjoy it (especially, since commuting to work took off even more useful time). I neglected cleaning my room, postponed important appointments as much as possible and I was often too tired to do the things I love.
Since 2024, I now work 30h/week, completely from home. I have every Friday off and Thursday is a short day. My life has improved drastically. I am no longer tired all the time, I’m more motivated at work and I am actually capable of going to concerts, parties, cinema. It’s amazing.
Every human is built different. I realized I absolutely cannot function having a 9to5 job from Monday to Friday.
Only as long as Gabe Newell runs it. After that it will enshittify like any other company that needs to make profits.
I regularly visit https://vogons.org/ to talk about retro computers.
TV: Do you ever feel scared? He’s the richest man in the world.
VW: He’s a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don’t give a fk. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he’s rich? Oh, no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don’t give a fk how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.
Absolutely based. The pathetic man-child was probably fuming when reading those lines. :)
The scene where all of those underdeveloped people come on board the Enterprise with their animals and one woman is shouting throughout the whole deck. Patrick Stewart lost it at this point, turns away from the camera and starts to laugh uncontrollably. But they kept the camera rolling and the scene turned out great!
