I mentioned to my dad how much windows 11 sucks to use and he agreed that he can’t stand it

So naturally, I told him about Linux, which he literally had never heard of before. I told him I’ll show him how to restore one of his old laptops with it, and he can go from there. Knowing him, I can’t wait to see “how cool” he thinks it is that he can just “fix” his own computer

And I’ve already converted my wife, instead of buying a new MacBook cause hers is showing it’s age. She keeps her Mac for backup, but the main computer is Linux Mint. She’s even started to understand the terminal a little, even though she doesn’t really have to

Slowly converting family and friends, simply because computers are expensive and windows sucks so hard now

We were supposed to go to a Mardi Gras parade with family, but thankfully they cancelled. So now we’re awake early, have valentines day off together with no plans… and we’re gonna go fishing for a bit. Packing a cooler now and about to head out, then we’ll see where the day takes us! Just excited to have the day with my best friend (aka wife)

My wife and I are both allergic. Long story short: we suffered, bought an oversized (HEPA) air-purifier (plus some small ones), suffered some more, then became much more tolerant of the allergens… only took a few years to not have asthma upon waking up

So, it can be done — but your mileage and allergies may vary. Downside is, a lot of my family is very allergic too, so staying at my house is almost non-optional. Upside is, loving best friends and… staying at my house is almost non-optional if allergic

We keep a pet-free guest bedroom for reprieve, but ya gotta want it. Antihistamines available upon request

I’m still struggling. Was OP’s joke an unfinished “type of joke”?

Like saying, ‘I enjoy “you’re momma so fat” jokes’?

Edit: ohhhhhh… as soon as I commented, I read the joke again and got it.

For anyone else struggling, the only kid that doesn’t have a name, literally has no name to write out

My wife and I were adopted last month (I’m pretty sure). We tried finding her home on the social media sites as well as put up picture-flyers around town, still nobody claiming her. So now we have an appointment for vaccinations and a spay, and we’ll go from there

They can also just empty your bank account, and then possibly send you to federal prison. No big deal

Yes, that’s how I always understood it

I’m godsmacked, I tell ya whhat

I would frame that as a token of honor! How weak of them lol

Doodling

Hey, I made something similar!

Lol, edgy and super cool

Mandildo?.. I accept the re-interpretation

Probs should’ve included the /s first, and then rethought the whole thing before posting that. But we’re all learning out here, ain’t trying to shame ya that hard

I only need one kidney, AND I can have 3 legs. Deal

It’s called Spoon Theory

If you ever played a Zelda game, its how many “hearts” you have before you “faint”. It’s a metaphor about how much energy a person has, that can be usefully descriptive when discussing one’s experiences with managing a chronic illness

Wanna shower? That’ll cost ya a spoon. Maybe you’ve got eight of them, so how do you choose to use them? If you run out, you won’t be able to cook yourself dinner, and there’s no amount of “will power” that will help you

Use some medication to help you “push-through” because you’re hungry? That’ll cost ya a spoon on credit (when you wake up)

When it comes to disability — if you over-exert, it can cost you your entire next day while you rest and “restore hearts”. So you have to learn how to manage your energy more conscientiously than you would if you didn’t have “that disability”

The theory can help, not only to teach yourself how to manage your energy for everyday tasks, but also how to discuss the hurdles that your situation presents

In my own experience — it can be especially helpful in discussing how an “invisible illness” affects you… with family, friends, and sometimes acquaintances. And I find that to be kind, because it’s easily digestible for the person who hasn’t had those extremes of experiences

Regardless of my struggles, I’m very grateful for the amount of spoons I’ve been given

didn’t have the spoons to do anything about it

I see you dabble in disability. I always appreciated this metaphor for it’s usefulness and kindness

You’re a troll-y little thing, ain’t ya. It’s also super cool to be kind for no reason, you should try it!

I thought that was just him about to sneeze
