Thanks, Dad.
installed archlinux

Ironically, my laptop has never truly died until I tried this. /s
Truly living life on the edge I can see
My man, I have been trying. Been trying to dual boot since I still need windows for work but I cannot for the life of me get Grub to work. It shows up in the install terminal, but after I reset it immediately disappears as a boot option from my and Linux. I've been racking my brain for days and no solution online works. The closest I got was getting to the Grub terminal, but it still couldn't boot into arch.
Meanwhile my laptop is dual booting with no problems whatsoever after doing basically the exact same thing. It doesn't make any sense

Been born.
Newborns always seem kind of unhappy about the transition, though.
I mean, yeah! They didn't sign up for this shit!
Stillbirth is the exception. I was about to comment "until you've had a pulse while breathing air".
.....left your home country and traveled the world.
The real trip is coming back home with new eyes
seen why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
It was a tragic day when I grew up and could no longer see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Buzz Aldrin went to the moon, and only then did he understand why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
You haven't truely lived until you've understood that I'm:
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Brilliant
Go away
xD
Dw I'm also guilty of several rickrolls ;-)
Gotten truly and utterly lost without a communication device. Especially powerful if you are in a foreign country where you don't speak the language and/or are alone. Nothing quite like it.
Ok that must truly have been an experience. I'd put it on the same level as being homeless (happened to me for a night).
... until you have seen a subartic tundra lemmings' smile 😋
Second moonraker elited a match of Goldeneye.
...had someone rifle balls at you, as hard as they can, off of a bat or racquet. Something about facing it down and letting your instinctual reactions take over is viscerally primal.
u ok?
Ooh absolutely. The primal feelings of being attacked are truly a part of human existence that many people (thankfully) don't ever experience in their life.
Punched a Nazi.

Moments I have truly known I was alive:
-
Using the restroom after chopping chillies but before washing my hands
-
Hearing my boss say "Can I talk to you in my office...?"
-
Seeing the jerk who swerved around me doing three times the speed limit get stopped by a cop
-
Playing with a kitten I had just adopted
...taken a good dump
Eaten kraft dinner, with fancy ketchup
I don't have a million dollars so I cant afford Dijon ketchup :(
But Kraft Mac goes with franks red hot
Pooped with the bathroom door open.
This is just psycho behaviour 🤨
My dog needs to know I'm ok so I watch him poop and he watches me poop 🙃
Had sex while skydiving with a Santa hat and crocks on
You've fought past the fear and anxiety; then become so comfortable that you don't seem to remember that fear.
Been Birthed (edit been)
I was definitely on one end of that at some point

Experienced certain death if you do not make a choice in seconds. Not, "My gosh! I might get punched in the face!" scared, I mean, "Figure this out or you're dying, right this instant."
It's nice to have a preview of your personal extinction, and it's really nice knowing you will do your best at that time.
tl;dr: Saved my own life twice, maybe three times.
visited the Golden Corral
been homeless
cried?
Masturbated at work in an empty bathroom stall.
