        Thats cool. You are still young so be sure to live a bit yourself before the kid(s) come along. I’d suggest to travel a bit if you can. I hope you get where you want to be. 🙏

      No OP, but the question is flawed. Both can’t exist in the same universe according to the standard definition, unless you made a custom definition which would decide whether it can or not.

      Nobody has yet! I’ve only been getting into Linux quite recently, I have a Microsoft surface laptop studio that I’d like to put Linux Mint on, but I’ve been a little scared of pulling the trigger so I haven’t yet :(. I did just get an old desktop pc from my dad because he replaced it, I was gonna put Mint on that but it was having some kind of issue with the bios, I ended up putting Kubuntu on it.

    What advice (uplifting or real-shit depressing) would you give to someone who just turned 18?

      I feel like my life didn’t really amount to much until I started just doing things rather than thinking about them. Keep track of every idea you have, every time you think “maybe I should try that” or “hmm that seems interesting” and then refer back to it whenever you’re bored. If you ever find yourself doom scrolling or anything like that that’s unproductive refer back to that and give something a go. It’s worth trying.

        Well said. I’m 34, totally agree. I would also add to stick with something difficult and get over the initial learning curve. I learned how to longboard in college because my best friend was a natural skater, I was terrible at it starting out, but 16 years later I longboard around the neighborhood when the weather is nice. I have a couple scars from my mistakes, but years later 34 year old me doesn’t regret 18-22 year old me doing that at all.

      I know that people really like mustard so I don’t have any particular problem with it, but I myself do not enjoy mustard so no. Just a preference

              I don’t usually lead with that because I feel like people carry a lot of judgement when it comes to young marriages, so I usually just start with something else and let people get to know me before they can form those judgements.

    Skirts, long or short? What is the name of the character that dies first in breaking bad? Astrological sign? Would you be able to recognize lenf nodes if you looked at them with a microscope? Why 20?

      Short long medium, it doesn’t really matter to me. I think the first character that dies in breaking bad is Crazy 8s partner or cousin or whatever he is, but I don’t remember his name. I would not be able to recognize a lenf node in a microscope, I don’t even know what that is. 20 because I was born 20 years ago.

      I have been unemployed for about 8 months now, I took a 9 month 600 hour marketing course that got me several certifications and helped me start my own projects but have yet to get any employment out of it. My marketing education is actually what helped me open my eyes to how I should care for my privacy more than I do and help others do the same.

      I’ve used what I’ve learned to help grow my own projects, but in a way that is respectful and not malicious. Using it for “good instead of evil” if you will. I honestly don’t think I could work professionally in marketing in my right mind, because most people don’t do it the respectful way and it’d honestly make me feel like a bad person, so I’ve actually been mainly looking for jobs outside of it, or only applying for agencies and companies that I think seem trustworthy.

      But, I’ve been trying to keep myself busy in the time with those projects, kind of trying to turn that into my job. I have a music blog that I run, I do some freelance writing, and more recently have been pursuing a YouTube, all three of which have seen pretty decent success. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a situation where I have the freedom to pursue that as I continue my job search, and I have a deep appreciation for those that help and support me. It’s frustrating and sad to do so many interviews week to week and hear nothing back, but I have a great support system so it’s not so bad. And yes, although I do wish I had better income, I do like my job it’s pretty fun :)

      tldr, I’ve been lucky enough to use my education to support my own projects as my “job” while I pursue a real job, and I do like it. Sorry for the long and complicated answer, I had a lot to say about it.

      I’m pretty open to any and all music but my favorite genres are rap and hip hop, ex the roots, Tyler the Creator etc, jazz, rock and a bunch of its subgenres, and yeah just a bunch of other stuff. And I do think I’m pretty happy with my life right now. 2025 is off to a pretty great start.
