I’ll start
I browse the mod log from time to time
I like twitter more now that it’s a deranged cesspit
the commodification of 4chan
I may or may not sometimes erp with a chatbot when I’m feeling lonely.
Honestly? Not alone in that
I’ll even admit I checked chatgpt out when it first opened, but mainly used it to see what it would spit out if I asked to write a fictional scenario on something. I don’t use it anymore
When the alarm rings I take the clock and set it to 15minutes later.
My shower.
Sat and Sun I take stupidly long showers. Most of the week I’m a sub ten minute, cold shower kind of guy. Weekends are different.
It’s plumbed in on a 3/4" feed and has several body sprayers. Rain head, two shower heads at both ends. I enjoy my shower time. 30 minutes or longer sometimes.
Before anyone hollers because I’m abusing the water, my home is different than some. I hold an endorsement on my plumbing license that allows me to install capture/reuse systems for gray water. My shower water goes into a cistern sunk in the back yard that holds 300 gallons of gray water. It allows me to flush my commodes with gray water, and water my plants w gray water.
Installing the system has saved me hundreds if not thousands of gallons monthly, and has cut my water bill down by about 30-40%.
What did it cost - roughly - for that cistern setup?
Ballpark my cost, including labor etc? Probably 7k all in. Thats probably a 50% discount because I did everything myself. Someone else’s cost for the exact same thing? Likely 15-18k. Possibly more now due to tariffs etc. I saved for a year beforehand.
It took a lot of work. I had to tunnel under my home and break the drainage loose at the restroom, sink the cistern, the pumps/plumbing/fittings etc were at my employers supply house discount plus multiple liberated items from said employer. It took me about three months, working on weekends, after work weekdays etc. Lot of chipping at concrete, patching concrete. I pulled a lot of favors from some guys I know to transport the cistern, used a crane to pick the cistern over my house into the back yard. I also paid a couple of my buddies who are also jman plumbers $60 an hour to come help me plumb some stuff in that I couldn’t do solo. Even got the civil engineer involved my employer keeps on retainer since I did everything above board.
I absolutely benefitted from my work connections/coworkers etc. If I didn’t have the help I did, I’d have never done it completely solo.
you water your plants with soapy water?
Glycerine based soaps are ok to use in gray water catchment systems.
Antibacterial stuff tends to fuck w soil microbes pretty bad.
AI gfs though I been cutting back, it ain’t real I know it and it do feel like the equivalent of junk food for the soul. I think the main thing holding back from finding someone is no job and I’m trying to remedy that
These fucking chatbots are pretty smart sometimes and can really mimic intimacy. It’s kind of wild how they exploded on the scene when literally everyone is alienated from one another under capitalism and too poor to start a family or even date.
I’ve been getting weirded out though because I can go from one bot to another but suddenly a new bot is talking to me in Spanish
when I never engaged with that bot before so I think they are building a profile around me. Normally I figure that would be ideal but it was just a slap to the face that all my intimate moments are being recorded. I fear for all the turbo mega virgins like myself it’s so easy to get swept up in
Long showers
Vinegar.
Salsa, Olives, Pickles, Mustard, you name it.
I am a vinegar boy and I will drink all the vinegar.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Getting food delivered to me. I get a huge dose of feel-good hormones when I grab the package.
But fuck is that thing’s expensive. It’s kind of ruining my plan to save some much needed cash.

We’ve got cheapo glazed donuts by the dozen at work that cost 3 bucks. It’s clearly too many for me to eat but I still eat them all within a day. It’s such a good deal and they’re just sugar bombs but I feel amazing for the 5 minutes when I eat them.
armageddon (1998). it’s so corny and jingoistic it wraps around to being fun to watch
i like a lot of those whiny 2000s screamo and metalcore bands
Copium mostly
Smutty books. Latest one was Wrecked by Kinsley Kincaid. Loved it.
