finally got the last part i needed in the mail today so i built the computer and have been spending time making sure i have the files and programs i use on here. it runs pretty well. i spec'd it out to where i could game or edit videos and stuff without much trouble, though i'm not sure how much of that i will actually do. i don't have the attention span for gaming. anyway, it just needs an extra hard drive and maybe a webcam. considered a mic, but that's not really necessary. wasn't that hard to put togehter, but still, i've wanted to build one since high school and i finally got the chance

for anyone that's interested, the build has a ryzen 5 six-core, gtx 1650 super, 16gb ram, and a 240gb ssd. going to add a 2tb hdd sometime later. also i get why people put rgb lights in their towers. looks dark and cavernous in there...

i have to get serious about looking for employment now. that said, my mopther just propsed we take a roadtrip to oregon? which i don't entirely believe is a real thing that dcould happen. but still. i guess the chances are non-zero, so i have to see how serious she was about that

i don't think activists should have clout. like, what would you need that for? i rememebr being asked by my professor irf i considered myself an 'activist'. i said no. don't remember the justification i gave him, but in my head, i knew that a label like that requires a lot more work and dicipline than i had at that moment. so to use it would have felt wrong. even now, i still wouldn't use it. so anyone that has it in their social media bio... i see right through it. i can't be fooled

three to four weeks ago, i was biking to my coworkers and this other biker got a flat right in front of me, as i was waiting at my coworkers spot. he eventually came up to me and asked if i had a spare tube, after trying and failing to patch it, which, i did. i gave it to him and told him to just send me a ferw dollars. i said to send three, even though the tube cost seven. he asked me if i biked a lot. have i said this already? he told me of some days that him and his friends meet up. i was out yesterday with diego. his bike got a flat so we had to take the train to where he parked his car. just so happned to be by where the guy told me his meet up happens. so i see them as i'm riding home and pull up to them. see the guy. he introduces me to everyone else. hands me a beer. we're talking a bit and he tells me about how last week a friend of their got robbed by someone that pulled through the group ride. and like momenets after, the guy who did the stealing pulls up. so the vibes are instantly ruined. and i'm just a bystander here. like i barely met them, so seeing a lot of them on edge was kinda funny. anyway nothing happened and i decided to go home. he told me they meet today too at a bar, but i was too busy getting the comp[uter ready and stuff to even try to make it out there. next time tho
