I left reddit when the mod kerfuffle started but I had a bad experience with r/Anarchism long before that and hadn’t been a member for quite a while.

I went to a Mastodon server where other anarchists are.

I did once because the driver completely ignored my delivery instructions and I called to cancel the tip. They refunded it immediately.

Our building has a problem with theft, which I noted in my instructions, and they left the order in the lobby despite my clear warning to the contrary.

I feel the same way about grocery store club cards. “Let us vacuum up your buying habits to sell to information brokers while simultaneously ripping off everybody that doesn’t use a card.”

I got my first Linux system two years ago when I was 57. I took one of the COVID checks and bought a Linux laptop from System76. I had the choice of PopOS or Ubuntu so I just took straight Ubuntu. It was set up and running when I unboxed it and everything I need to know how to do I can just do a web search for. And that’s really not much. Best of all the thing starts up in seconds, when Windows was always taking its damn sweet time and shutting itself down for two and three hour updates when I needed to use it. As for gaming, that’s what my PS5 is for.

Buying a pre-built, pre-installed Linux system was perfect for me. It might be what would work for you too. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of where to start.

You’ve got to toughen up. If she’s waiting for you when you get home, tell her you don’t have time to hang out and close the door on her. Tell her it’s not appropriate that she keeps inviting herself over and that you can’t be available for her on her whim. The only way to set boundaries is to set them strong and plain and then do what you have to do to enforce them. If that means walking in your door and shutting it in her face that’s what you need to do.

She’s not your kid, she’s not a relative, she’s not your responsibility. Tell yourself that when you feel yourself folding. She’s pushing you because you’re not drawing the line in concrete. It’s not mean to set firm lines with people that take advantage of your good nature.

Well, now she knows he’s not worth the trouble of the first date.

I’ll be 59 this year and have been gaming since Pong. They’ll pry my controller from my cold, dead fingers. Also, I’m a woman as is the circle I play with, who are also all older women (45+). We do exist and couldn’t give a fuck about what society thinks about it.

Better gaming than just being a potato watching TV every spare minute with no other outlet.

Gaming’s been shown to help prevent dementia because it keeps the brain active.

Consider that the women that you’ve been trying to date that don’t appreciate gaming just aren’t the right partner for you.
