I don’t know how someone can lurk without the urge to post something or comment, that must take willpower

I ignore them. Since January 2022 I've used exclusively macOS & Linux and you can't go wrong with that. macOS for my daily driver work laptop (M1 MacBook Pro) and Arch Linux for my home server, though I do enjoy using it a lot for work and if this mac ever stops working I will definitely build a framework Linux laptop. Nothing comes close to FoSS, don't have to put up with most of this proprietary business-oriented software.

If you can, move back in with your parents

If I’m unconscious indoors in a safe place then leave me alone I’ll wake up eventually

Are you trying to say that took no effort? Instrumental went hard and the talkbox would have taken some time to develop progression. Especially in the 90s, where digital music technology wasn't widely available. Today, a song like that would be no big deal but at the time, "Around The World" was much ahead of its time.

It’s a duck walking on reflective water no one tells me otherwise

Thanks, I read Wikipedia for an hour a day and that was probably the most interesting biography yet. Mostly I just read about places around the world and musicians.

How do you input a video into ChatGPT though. Could just do the transcript but a brief description to ChatGPT won’t allow it to grasp the context enough.

I cycle 80km all the time

Just need to carb the fuck up!

I can't. I'm in the airport waiting for a plane.

MacBook / Linux Server combo is meta.

I don't care because there's no real difference between 8h and 10h. Your whole day is basically gone either way. I don't care if I'm working 8h or 12h. That extra 4 hours doesn't make a difference. I'd rather have full days to set personal life goals and enjoy life than have to squeeze it in after work.

Ooops, I was only thinking about my own personal circumstances as a young adult who is single and new to full time employment.

Your choice. But you could go for a run instead of gaming or mow the lawn, make your front yard look nicer, start a YouTube channel or a website for some interest, learn to code and write a passion project, do some creative writing and publish your first 200 page novel; the list is endless. All of those things are work, but most things in that list are FUN. Sometimes downtime can be spent working. I spend my time reading and contributing to Wikipedia and supporting FOSS projects like this fantastic social media site! Because… this site doesn’t throw shit at me with intent to grab my attention with some advanced creepy algorithm. The code is publicly available. These fediverse socials are the only ones that aren’t extremely harmful.

You can't sleep with them because you have to work while they sleep and they work when you sleep if it's 12 on 12 off

I'd work 2x 12 hour days and 1x 14 hour day. Heck, I'd work 2x 19 hour days. Or work 38 hours straight in one shift?

If you don't mind me asking what industry? Sounds like security?

It would be cool seeing the same guy at the start and end of the day for 4 days straight, and them seeing you. The overlap from arriving a few minutes early would make for an interesting comradery.

You don't need gaming, it's a way to waste time.

I’d advise to quit gaming and do more work. Then, Linux has no problem. Gaming keeps you poor and lazy.

I know people who make 50k per month and don’t have jets. I make 30k p/m but I’ll get there one day. It’s crazy how when I was broke making $20/hour in a cafe that I thought everyone or most people are broke but now I’m making modest money it’s crazy how many other entrepreneurs are in my circle now. Just wow.
