Made it a full 7 days. Still on this train.
I will continue to not drink with you!

I spent most of my time gaming and not going out. Frozen pizzas, top ramen, bulk stuff to keep costs down.

I'm going to approach this from the perspective of someone playing Kerbal Space Program.

I stole it from somewhere else, so seems only fair

The cosmic horrors persist, but so do I

I left reddit and deleted my accounts, post and comment history. I had modded a couple high sub communities there and felt it had become less friendly over the years. I initially joined in 2011 but only really started using it during the Digg exodus.
Lemmy feels like old school reddit. So I use it 99% of the time and only check some very specific subreddits when I need to look up something for work.
