All right, that's it, dishonor

Moving to a 1-guy pod, where the only person whose mood swings dictate who federates / defederates with me is myself

* If you don't own it, you're owned by it

Stand by for updates from new acct, inshallah.

"420 reasons to stay away from listicles"

"Help - I have no time in the mornings to do the nine things"

Ya gotta be pretty low on irony + empathy to think that the answer to everyone's "scatterbrained" is to pack their mornings with the same 9 (nine! NEIN!) things. FWIW, the dude on the photo looks like he's happy to stops where I usually stop each morning: thing two: coffee.

There ought to be a paid service out there for transferring your laptop stickers from an old machine to a new. I'd pay good money to retain access to this chunk of history...
