Sporting a local as my wallpaper on my laptop. Obviously And using i3 as the desktop manager.

@jameshjacksonjr it's like alcohol. Sometimes it's just a necessary evil. Is it bad for me, sure is. Twitter I can kick, a few folks on there I keep in touch with daily not so much. But they're nowhere else to be reached. But also not on the level of "hey text or call me anytime"

But honestly alcohol also is what keeps me from being hooked on prescription pain meds.

But also I could just be content to live in the hills of Vermont and not bother with a soul and be off the grid.

@jameshjacksonjr I wouldn't doubt it. Don't need to share with me what I can already see coming.

@jameshjacksonjr it's just like Amazon it's a convenient way to get things you want. Rather than hunt down through 50+ physical stores to find what you want. It's like me online is my way to socialize.

Sure I like bars, but I'm not shelling out $50+ on food and beer. And when my partial anxiety kicks in won't talk to a damned soul.

@jameshjacksonjr Keeping in touch with the bands I listen to and such especially when the mail order catalog days died. And also at the time most stores near me didn't sell nearly half the stuff I listened to at the time. So you learn to network and spread out.

If it weren't due to learning to network like that. Hell I wouldn't have one of my longest friends for 20+ years and probably wouldn't have ever met.

@jameshjacksonjr Yeah, I had IRC years ago, I haunt it every now and then especially if I want to find pirated content, etc. Obviously bands, labels aren't trying to promote their content on IRC other than their diehard fans doing it.

On IG I have 30 or 40 of people I keep in touch with daily with on there. So that'll probably remain even after I ditch Twitter.

Back in the days I had myspace, that's how I learned to do HTML my profile looked like a website which I thought was pretty cool.

@jameshjacksonjr No different than losing weight, gotta gradually cut it off or cut some things off . Like sugar, I've stopped using sugar, and avoid sugary drinks pretty much altogether. Not to mention not binging on pizza all the time. And I've lost about 30lbs in a couple of months. So it's all about moderation and will power.

WIth FB I just got sick of everyone on there so that with after I did a back up it was gone in less than a week.

@jameshjacksonjr Been telling quite a few individuals, etc about it, etc

@jameshjacksonjr Possibly. I've cut it off before a few times in past years cold turkey. Or I'll just use it less and less and peek in from time to time. But somehow doubt will see the bands and labels make a mass migration to another network.

Hypnotizing Mick Foley going over the rails. ๐Ÿ˜‚ from Superbrawl 3....

So to follow some of my favorites over at Switter since the connection to that server apparently got killed off through Librem due to someone getting their panties in a twist. I setup an account on that instance to follow & interact with them and others.

@jameshjacksonjr I was keeping tabs anyways between the newsletter and my Twitter feed plus on here. ๐Ÿ˜‰

@applebaps@anarchism.space and why are suggesting I be blocked?

@pbandkate way things are we are apps. All the deities are just playing The Sims. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ˜‰
