Good week overall I think. Work has been a bit crazy which I'm trying to sort out with management to slow things down a bit for the sake of my team and my own mental health. Plus being at conferences doesn't help...

Been losing a decent amount of weight too, about 10kg in the last 3-4 weeks and starting to 'regain' the muscle I had when I was younger and a gym freak. I think this is more just getting my muscles used to regular exercise again so it'll plateau soon. Just trying to get in to a health(ier) routine all in all.

Sadly missed the weekly online co-op gaming session with friends since someone messed up the days. Also bought some new furniture to make the place feel a bit more homely.

So all in all, doing pretty well.

Cavalier was a first edition class (Yes I'm old)

This is my thing. I have about 122TB of spinning metal (with the same as an offsite backup) with SSDs as ZIL and L2ARC. And it's awesome. HDDs I think will genuinely be important for for the foreseeable future.

A couple of years ago I ended up in the 1% because of one single thing I posted 2 weeks after I signed up purely to generate some rage because so many subs needed minimum karma... Can completely attest to this.

I used to work in restorative justice and you'd be surprised at the benefits for the offenders AND the victims/families of victims when I worked in criminology so I've had this conversation with the victims.

Does it always work? No. But when it does does it improve things? Generally yes. It's not black and white.

Do you believe in rehabilitation? Would you say your values are exactly the same now as they were when you were a child? Do you think that people who grew up in unhealthy environments come out of it with a well-formed sense of psychonormativity?

I met her at a night some friends run that cater to the comedy crowd. Was also so uplifting and chatty. So sad to hear the news...

Gaming tonight (running in to this morning...) with a bunch of friends. Good to just shit-talk each other. Co-op games only since we're not... Good 😀

Date on Saturday night which I'm looking forward to! Forth date and the last one went super well. Divorced about 5+ years ago. A few dates since but no serious connections.... Also dating when older kinda sucks.

Work has been frustrating but hoping it gets sorted out. Just egos going rampant....

He sounds mentally ill from the sounds of it. I'm sure he'll get the support he needs now cough

That does kinda scream "I would be happy to kill all humans but don't want to say it..."

It's kinda like:

"Are you a nazi?"

"It might be time to move onto a new topic."

"That's not a no..."

Nurgle looks like he'd fit in well in the US. This is him at a food kitchen!

First day back at work after 1 1/2 weeks off. Shit didn't catch fire while I was gone which is nice. Have a chat tomorrow with my 2-up boss about how he has treated me (just before I went on leave). Not looking forward to it but I know my worth so whatever happens happens.

Went on a (2nd) date on the weekend too which was great, but also felt like I wasn't supportive enough about some of her concerns about work etc. so followed up today. We'll see how that goes...
