  • It’s worse because the more bored you get, the more stimming you need. You need to stand up, move around, focus on anything that is NOT the conversation because it’s driving you insane and you NEED to get out. If at least you could fidget with anything but nope! It’s bad manners. It’s even worse if you’re sandwiched between two guests and you need to SIT. STILL.

    And then I end up stimming with my foot anyway until a close relative nudges me hard to stop doing whatever I’m doing because it’s “not polite”.

    Fuck that shit. Since then I don’t go to family meetings anymore, let them say anything but unless I’m really getting something worth it in return, I’m not. Doing. That. Anymore. Fuck that shit, sue me.

    For me the turning point was when a failed Windows forced upgrade ended up deleting me important files. I had backups, but I lost days of work because Microsoft felt so insecure in the face of piracy that they had to upgrade my computer despite me constantly telling them not to do so.

    That was around 10 years ago. I went through various KDE distros; in the end I settled for Kubuntu.

    The recent developments in KDE plasma are excellent. I haven’t had to open a command prompt in years. I hadn’t had a tech problem until this year when my tmp folder got full.
