I have committed myself to a plan. If I am fortunate enough to die in a hospital on a drip I will meditate to dig deep into my mind so that I am present in the moment so my last words before I flatline will be “Oh f*** hell is real! Oh no” just to scare the pants off the surrounding doctors and nurses.

A very detailed account of what a stalker really looks like.

I always knew women were being subject to this on social media outside of what the large-follower-count “influencers" could more easily draw attention to.

This is an in-depth and serious read. I hope she has seen the last him, but am sad he wasn’t arrested.

@ninokadic I just have this overwhelming feeling like I am missing out having not mastered or even spent nearly enough quality time with Linux. It is hard to explain. But then again I often take on computer projects and then end up over my head. Don’t get me started in my most recent escapades with Docket.

@ninokadic I use a type of open source VMware for Ubuntu. I never use it, but in a previous life I did have stereotypical ThinkPad (Yes with the little red useless mouse) with Ubuntu only on it. I always go back to Mac. Though imho OSX was much better that the contemporary upgrades. I’d love to spend more quality time with various Linux installations.

I have lost my mind a number of times looking for truth. Truth is not worth losing your mind over.
