You don't know who I am.

[Bath Vader @Robin__Fletcher]

@ShellsPemBroke From the age of about 7 my mother neither knew nor cared where I was as long as I was home at a certain time. As a teen I would disappear after breakfast and get home as the sun was setting.

As a Dad now I wouldn't dream of it!

@Merunas2 @JTAlexander I've gotten black out drunk off less than a dozen shots twice in my life while being egged on by a friend.

Other than that I average about a single bottle of wine *per year*.

If getting black out drunk twice in 49 years makes me an alcoholic, welp.

Cheating is clearly rampant in sports.

Take the Boston Marathon.

When John Korir won Boston, thousands of people plagiarized his work by running the exact same route.

@folkloreamy Didn't date until I was in my 30's, recently celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary. Dating in your 20s is "Meh".

[Bath Vader @Robin__Fletcher]

@onlysammms I only started dating when I was 32, for pretty much this exact reason. Low self esteem is a killer.

Just had a coworker ask me how to do a git push.

The man is a whole ass Senior Developer with 27 years experience...

When my body is straight-up begging for water:

Brain:"Tea? Excellent idea!".

@unordinaryjo @MuloiwaThendo @DDT_PM That's the average for Victory Park where the property in question was.

[Bath Vader @Robin__Fletcher]

@MuloiwaThendo @DDT_PM A) 99% of people simply take the difference between renting and buying and spend it.
B) 2 months ago the average return on the S&P was a "measly" 17% over 3 years.

Rentals also go up 5%+ a year on average, which eats into what you could save monthly.

Bluey is OUT and Peppa Pig is IN at my house. As a father, I don’t want to be compared to Bandit (imaginative, ideal millennial dad). I am much more comfortable with the pace being set by Daddy Pig (slob, Brexit-coded chud).

@AaronRHolloway1 @HariSel57511397 Dungeon Crawler Carl started off as a web serial on Royal Road, and there are plenty of authors doing well for themselves following that route. The disconnect between real world success and authors that still think the only way to make it is via book sales is jarring at times.

[Bath Vader @Robin__Fletcher]

@cirsova @TheMichaelPower @Astr0gh0ul I've tried pointing some struggling indie authors towards going the web serial route and 99% of the time they simply don't seem to grasp the concept. "What do you mean I should publish my work on the internet for free?!"

@talkcentss Shades of Ellerines and African Bank from a decade ago.

[Sridhar Ramesh @RadishHarmers]

Thank you for your critique. You're not someone I respect, so I don't care what you think of me or want from me.

[Bath Vader @Robin__Fletcher]

Meanwhile people I've worked with for 24 years are still just "A coworker of mine" or "This guy I work with" 🙃

[amaliaxoxo @amalnotclooney]

Unfortunately everyone is my friend, even people on twitter I have never met in my life 😅

@ShellsPemBroke The 90 minutes between my kid leaving for school and work starting is how I keep sane. Next week can't come soon enough!

[Bath Vader @Robin__Fletcher]

@basilYam Ok.

[claudia ☆ @4ui12i124u]

checking twitter really feels like u are microdosing mass psychosis wow

[Bath Vader @Robin__Fletcher]

@cambria_edwards @hollowearthterf It was the first time we'd actually communicated clearly on the subject. Simply getting a full view of how the other thought about chores and cleaning ended up allowing us to work better as a team.

[Bath Vader @Robin__Fletcher]

@cambria_edwards @hollowearthterf This fight was around 8 years ago after about 2 years of living together. Over the course of an hour it went from screaming and divorce threats, to a heated argument, to a mostly civilised discussion. We've barely argued about chores since.
