It’s how I was taught in the Navy to write dates. I stood a lot of watches and made a lot of log entries.

I saw this tip on the Pirate Software YT channel. Nearing the end of the interview when they ask if you have any questions, ask them “If you hired me right now, what position would you put me in that best fits my skillset?”

I write the date a bit different depending on which format its going on.

For example, computers like to sort things alphabetically. If I’m writing electronic diary entries, I’ll name the document as “2025-06-01.”

If I’m hand signing a legal document, I prefer to sign it as “01JUN2025” or “01JUN25” if space is an issue.

If the format is preselected and deviation isn’t allowed, I’ll just write it like everyone else does.

Personally, I like dating things in ascending or descending order. Day month year, or year month day.

My pet goldfish was also sent to a farm when I was a kid. Sending people to farms sounds like a euphemism for extermination.

Doomsday prepping is the answer. Start building up a large supply of non-perishable foods, properly sealed for long term storage.

Have a wide variety of different food storage options. Having nothing to eat but rice will drive you insane (that’s not hyperbole, it’s serious).

Not just food storage, have tons of medical and hygeine priducts stored up as well. Things like toilet paper, toothpaste, wet wipes, ibuprophin, tums, etc. Assume there will be no stores or money in the future, plan acordingly.

Have all of your important documents in paper form. Keep all contact information, passwords, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and other important info on physical paper. There’s a strong possibility the internet will go down for a long period of time.

If possible, download Kiwik. Within the software, you can download all of wikipedia so that you have an accessable offline copy. It’s about 125gb in size.

Start downloading stuff you don’t want to lose. If you have a youtuve video ripper, start ripping videos on how to do things like repair your own car and other repair tutorials. Download videos and tutorials on how to cook if you don’t already know how. Also how to start and maintain a veggie garden.

Have a plan for the electric grid going down for a long period of time. Folding solar panels are a great way to keep phones and battery banks charged.

I could go on all day, but basucally you should prepare for a total government collapse. Internet, electricity, plumbing, trash removal, hospitals, police & fire rescue, depletion of groceries and store goods, etc. I have do doubt we’ll see these things either partially or completely collapse and fail.

As it turns out, having an account on a social media platform full of Nazis, violent racists, and child diddlers is not good for business.

Right now the US is basically a two-party system with both parties bribbed by the same health insurance companies. The will of the people demands change, yet both parties refuse to implement change.

Withholding your vote does nothing as it’s essentially a two-party system. Voting for one party or the other does nothing as they’re both paid off by the same health insurance companies.

In desperate times when the government no longer represents the people, people turn to vigilantism to solve ongoing problems, as we saw with the killing of the CEO.

It’s going to get a lot worse, there WILL be more killings.

I’m a D&D player and DM. If Elon’s threats are to be believed, 2025 is likely to be the worst year for D&D.

In the women’s locker room at the shipyard. Nobody ever goes in there, it’s clean, it’s never used, and I just got off a sixteen hour shift of welding. I was damn tired and couldn’t muster the strength to drive myself home.

I got about five hours of sleep which was enough rest to drive myself home and call out “sick” the next day.

Can confirm with the old thinkpads. They’re not great for gaming, but the keyboard, track pack, and eraser head are solid for writing and other office-like work.

Two shitbirds.

One stone.

Feel free to judge, I’ll own it.

But I like Papa John’s. A stuffed crust with BBQ sauce, bacon, sausage, and pineapple.

My butthole suffers for it, but it’s worth it. Very tasty.

This is why I don’t use my real name on the internet, nor do I post selfies.

It’s the death threats, hate posts, violent rhetoric, and posing misinformation & disinformation. Simply put, conservatives violate social media ToS’ far more often than liberals.

I’m frustrated with all of my friends and acquaintances who claimed they’d love to play D&D some day, yet can never seem to find a group to join.

I’m a DM and I have a brand new campaign starting tomorrow. I’ve been putting out announcement for almost two months now, and those same people are making excuses or ghosting me.

I have the game location, the maps, the miniatures, spare books & dice, and I’m rather adept at teaching new people. I’m just short on people who actually want to play.

It’s not just abortion. Republicans are openly entertaining the idea of jailing women for having miscarriages which is a natural bodily function that happens sometimes.

Imagine if Republicans wanted to lock you up in prison for a bodily function you have no control over, you’d get angry too.

“YouTube does now allow content containing conspiratorial claims that individuals or groups are evil, corrupt, or malicious based on their protected group status.”

Oh yes they absolutely do allow it. Satanism is a protected religion like any other, and YouTube is full of hate videos. Reporting them accomplishes nothing.

The irony is that Trump forced Swift to speak up after the fake AI endorsement. Swift would have remained publicly neutral.

Of course it’s a Republican, its almost always a Republican. It’s the crime party, after all.

A Republican.

I’m shocked, shocked!

…well not that shocked.
