This sucks. What sucks even more is that this is going to happen again. And again and again. The fediverse is a threat to hegemony. And world events have emboldened the deplorables.

Best of luck, wherever your new home ends up being.

Deplorian

I’ll be borrowing that one.

Kill me.

Nope. The world is more entertaining with you still in it.

Feel hopeful.

Are those filled with flavored goop? I’ve never been a fan of strawberry so I’ve never had one.

The similarly-packaged orange ones, though? They’re amazing.

This shit would make my day.

Close. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

That’s true for aircraft, yes. But for humanoids, there’s an art, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Ignorance is bliss, fo sho.

That second one just screams joyous Prince Adam.

Ain’t my gate to keep lol. You’re good in my book.

Nerd.

I got my nerd card revoked after a convention when I revealed that I hadn’t seen any of the Marvel movies. And this was about 10 years ago. I eventually made exceptions for Deadpool and GotG.

You had all episode to explain, Lieutenant. You chose to be a creeper instead.

I expect a report when you return, along with an essay about what you did during the summer.

many people I have met are done with computers once they get home.

This is me. After 25 years in corporate IT, I have little to no interest in sitting down at a computer anymore. My personal box only gets turned on a few times a month. Casual browsing and such is done on mobile, gaming on console. Once upon a time I spun up VMs for fun and knew everything that was running on my system. Never had the patience (or desire) to go full Linux, and between work sucking out the joy and enshittification overrunning modern commercial OSes, I just stopped having the energy to get excited. So the box only get used when I have something to do that’s more involved than light spreadsheet work etc.

I am very much a Lemmy outlier lol.

Quest for Glory was one of my first computer games, after almost a decade of console-only play. Good times.
