@sungo @Elizafox I told my family about the cutting attempt during an argument with them a couple of days after the attempt.

@Elizafox @sungo Agreed, but there are those people that abuse it for non-therapeutic attention.

@Elizafox @sungo Yeah, well. My admin buddy shudders at ansible, and the only reason I know anything about it is his explanations so I can understand when he vents. And an attempt to Docker PiHole killed the connectivity on one of my boxen, necessating a rebuild.

@internetofshitebooks Yeaaaaaaah, no. Preferably the only thing that will get in my pants is something warm and fleshy.

@Elizafox @sungo One the stepmother caught me with after an OD, the other was due to insufficiently sharpened tools.

@sungo @Elizafox Not quite so much. My best bud is the sweetest, nicest BOFH in the world. He works for a big hosting company.

In addition to Krautrock, Introducted housemates to Gil Scott-Heron, which a housemate was only familiar with via a cover done by Jello Barifia. Sot tonight they were able to hear the original "The revolution will not be telivised" which is freaky to think about, but also pretty cool

@sungo @Elizafox My dad and stepmom are REALLY awesome about keeping tabs on me. Especially as I wouldn't have been tooting today had she not come by when my job couldn't reach me to come in early...

@Elizafox @sungo Sounds like she's afraid to feel because something might go wrong.

@Elizafox @sungo I have been reasonably lucky. My parents are split. My mom is okay with it. My dad seems convinced it is defeatable by will alone.

@NinahMarie Eh. I woke up on the right side of the grass today, so I've got that going for me. And a lovely bunch of Mastodonians (I like it. I don't care if it ISN'T the official term, I am using it) to chat with.

@Elizafox @sungo Awesome. I am tired of having to tell people I am the most cheerful depressed person they have ever met because of all the fronting I end up doing.

@internetofshitebooks
Do you SERIOUSLY want us to die in an appliance armageddon?

@Elizafox @sungo Good. The lack of a brownout shows you are getting a handle on it. Go you!

@Elizafox @sungo I just wish it ever left me. Of course, most times I have such an energy debt from pretending to not be depressed in public, it just makes it worse during alone time.

@sungo @Elizafox I won't even mention the digestive side effects (which also showed up with a different mood stabilizer I didn't need) or the constant belching that tasted like what I imagine aluminum shavings taste like.
