I really enjoy video games, crafts, dnd, reading, and taking care of my critters. I have one dog, 2 cats, and 10 ducks. I will be getting a puppy next weekend. My dog is a beagle, my cats are just regular tabbys, and the breeds of ducks I have are: 4 French white muscovies, 1 jumbo Pekin, one regular Pekin that's crippled, 2 cayugas, a golden layer, and a khaki campbell. The puppy I am getting is a goldendoodle.
I work in IT as a tier one help desk tech as a means to feed and shelter myself and my critters.
Making jokes is how people cope with tragic events.
This is why there is the on-going debate, that no topic should ever be unavailable to joke about.
I remember that the very same day that Princess Diana died, people were saying "Died in anasty accident" and that was before the days of the internet being popular, that was a joke that spread around the country by text message.
Except you feel the need to always respond to everyone else’s conversations. Your timing is impeccable yet everyone comes to resent your witty remarks.
Hi! I'm 70, so retired and have many hobbies and interests. At the moment it's beekeeping and coastal rowing that take up most of my time. I took up rowing after arthritis put paid to dinghy sailing, and it's fantastic. I gave up racing this year but I sort of miss it. I keep bees with a community group, we have 15 hives on two sites. I'm also into photography, hill-walking, knitting, travel, gardening, all the old-lady stuff. And I enjoy tinkering with tech, I run a club website and a blog for a friend. What else? Baking, jam-making, DIY... I'm sure there's something I've missed. Oh, I made a pond and some frogs moved in, so I guess frog-watching? Is that a thing?
I always had penpals when I was a kid. My mother had one when she was a girl too, and finally got to meet her when they were in their 60s.
I tend to spend way too much on electronics. Constant PC upgrades, new disks for my NAS, better monitors, etc. I do at least allocate a monthly budget for this, but go over it sometimes…
Food delivery is another high category for me, and I’ve been trying to cut back, but it’s soooooo convenient.
OK so I am 33M, i was addicted to drugs for my whole adult life basically up until over a year ago. I am a spiritual person, for lack of a better term. I have almost too much empathy for my own good. I love music. I play guitar and drums, write and record, for myself as therapy/meditation. I love writing poetry and im just starting to write my own story in a sort of stream of conscious style. I love all types of art, anything that captures the human spirit. I have a ton of wild stories of my escapades. I never went to college. I am a tradesman. I like to think im a good listener, who knows. I love talking to people, especially one on one. I like to think im honest, too much so. I can be quite entertaining, like a clown or jester. I am content with my life...for now. I'd also like to think I give somewhat serviceable advice, cause i Iived through a shit load of my own mistakes, and I am better for it. I practice reiki, and I believe the oneness permeating all things is malleable to the human consciousness... to an extent. I'm a fkn weirdo. Like a cat, I am entertained by very very small and seemingly meaningless things. I love thinking, learning and pushing the limits of my nervous system❤️
It's dark comedy for a tragically comic situation.
By definition, I'd say all of the jokes are in very poor taste, which is what makes them so funny. The specifics of this particular tragedy practically call out for grim comedy: Safety shmafety, Logitech, Blink 182 getting sucked into the spotlight, etc.
I do think that all the chatter about the disaster has underscored some critically important points:
Billionaires are just as stupid as everyone else. They are not exceptional people in any way.
If you're not a deep sea oceanography expert of any sort, you should keep your undersea adventures to much shallower waters.
"Hey Personal Assistant, can you give me the dirt sheet on this submarine company? I'm thinking of visiting the Titanic." Would have saved lives. Those tickets to an undersea adventure were a quarter of a million dollars per seat. I've done better due diligence buying a ukulele online than these halfwits.
