Citizen Rat posted:I ... have no idea what this means? And I kinda don't want to ask because aforementioned 'this is the funniest thing I will ever know about my ex,' but at the same time fkn morbid curiosity gets me every time. So. Manly-man? When was Alex ever a manly-man? He was always very proud of being 'metrosexual' and kinda genderqueer when we were involved. If you really want to know, he tried to run an online store selling his own line of "manly" furniture. That's why the piano thing was so funny.

Selling 2 titans, a super, a dozen caps, and evaccing 15 or so jump freighters only took 4 or 5 days for me. I hadn't decided if I was quitting eve or just GSF for a while but either way I wasn't gonna let my stuff rot. I'm in of sound mind now and they're a total 180 in a lotta ways. It's very weird.

Its the fun way of saying I bought a shitload of land at the top of a mountain, whenever I told people they just say "you bought a mountain what the gently caress" so I run with it. Big house, big pool, some big cliff faces on it, shitloads of big trees and as far as i can tell infinite water, the latter 2 of which are something from dream compared to living in socal for most of a decade.

Nice! I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never own land again because of the whole expat thing which makes land ownership complicated and when I bring it up to my cpa he makes unhappy scrunched faces at me. Maybe when I get citizenship.

Knowing how PC Gamer handled when the wormhole corp I was in was being evicted's little article, they interviewed only a single person, probably Mittani himself, and then went to reddit and read like 5 posts for the rest. What a useless rag. Woudln't even wipe my rear end with it.

I wonder if anyone has ever unironically purchased wallpaper past like 1980. I'd rather live in a house that is painted Landlord White in every room than have to deal with wallpaper. Well, maybe not the bedrooms.

I'm best at carpentry and drywall but I can do anything except hvac and I don't trust myself to do plumbing. The biggest problems are expensive or extremely labor intensive like its hot as gently caress I don't wanna go clean all the insulation out of the attic so I can find the mouse holes. And it's raining pretty much every day so fixing driveway cracks is a nonstarter most days. Piddly poo poo like caulking the shower is just me being lazy
