I've had cuts I didn't know about, but the worst was when I worked retail and managed to smash my upper arm on a shelf, and apparently I was bleeding bad enough to leave a broken trail from the front of the store to the break room.

I couldn't feel anything but the aching of the blunt force trauma, I didn't feel the sharp cut or any stinging at all.

I've also had plenty of small spots I have no idea how they happened, but usually I'M the one to figure it out...

and what’s with the bruised legs?

Tldr: inattentiveness, bumping into tons of stuff, and only remembering it when you look at the bruise or someone reminds you.

An explanation that's meant to be humorous because it happens to me and my wife all the time:

"Oh my god, where did THIS bruise come from?"

earlier that day

bump "ow, how did I hit the coffee table..."

bump "fuck that hurt, I swear the counter was another 6 inches over"

smash "FUCK the freezer door closes too quickly!"

has to be reminded of these events to remember tham

I'm not a monkey that dances for coins, if you want to see art go to a museum.

I may have some lasting issues stemming from uncomfortable situations like this that have made me no longer care if people are put off by my reaction when I'm put on the spot. You want to see it? Ask me privately, and I'll show you one on one if you actually care.

No, I'm not bitter about things from my childhood, why do you ask...

I know SSDs need to be powered on occasionally due to how they store data, which is why (also due to cost lol) I have most of my stuff on HDDs, though I know those can have issues if you leave them out unprotected.

Not much more I can do without spending a lot more money than I have already. But so far I've never needed to get my second backup.

Which reminds me I need to re-backup the second drive...

I mean, I guess he gets a tiny fraction of that, since this won't ruin his company or him financially for the rest of his life if it doesn't work out, nor does he actually put in the work any further than a phone call that his assistant sets up. The rest is all done by various departments, all he does is wait for an email saying it's been recieved.

I only buy games on steam when they're like $5 or less.

I have less than $200 spent in total over the last 16/17 years on steam, and I don't see myself breaking the $5 limit.

I even pay GOG non sale prices if a steam sale jogs my memory of a game I want.

Sailing the high seas isn't feasible right now since I don't control the internet here and I'm not going to risk me not knowing something and landing the owner with potential legal trouble. But I will hopefully be dusting my hat off soon.

I need to get a couple more external drives and make at least one Faraday cage to keep one in.

All my installers are on a 1tb hdd that sits in my dresser. Made it a lot easier to put my games on my new laptop since they were installed before I even got to hooking it up to the internet.

Providing nothing that isn't covered by other areas of the business, while profiting off the misery of others?

Guillotine.

A dozen wasps.

Level of aliveness is irrelevant.

Smh my head, it's so obvious now!

Construction companies hate this one weird trick for quick jobs!
