About bojackstorkman

I like writing, and am trying to learn more basic IT/web development skills. Always happy to chat, and welcoming of advice or mentoring on any topic, since I am always trying to expand my limited skillset.

    To begin, I know that my resume is quite different from many others in this thread, so if my qualifications aren't appropriate, I'll take this down. I figured I would post here any…

    By happenstance I have spent about half of my life living with people with T1D and this post echos pretty much exactly what I have heard over the past decade or two. A lot of non-t…

    I find this post interesting. I moved out of Portland last year because I was summarily priced out of the city. By "Portland" are you including Gresham/Milwaukie/Beaverton in your …

    This was an interesting read. I guess I'll start with the response. As has been pointed out by others, bringing up the book was a weird humblebrag. It kind of makes me think that P…

    This is really neat. The stylization of the hexagonal tile sets reminds me of a tabletop game I played years ago called Heroscape. Is there any chance that it was inspired by that?…

    I find the phrase "oriental philosophy" to be problematic in addition to being quite vague. Additionally, your statement that this "oriental philosophy"(?) doesn't give "due credit…

    I have been homeless in very affluent cities on the California coast, including San Franscisco. I strongly disagree that having a "million dollar view" constitutes "living the drea…

    Though I strongly disagree with the overall sentiment here, as well as some of your specific statements, your post touches on some interesting points. In an earlier post, I mention…

    Thanks for reading! 90% of what I read about on here is stuff I don't fully understand that I read juat for self improvement, so it's nice to be able to contribute to a thread occa…

    In my experience of living in multiple shelters/streets/camps in multiple cities is that there is a lot of truth to this idea. For example, I knew a man that was incredibly ornery,…

    I have personally seen an entire friend group abuse buprenorphine recreationally. It doesn't produce the traditional opiate euphoria, but for people with little opioid tolerance it…

    Oh my gosh, I used to know a guy that went by 'puppies' or something that used to talk extensively about the "AOL progz" and I just got a flashback. This is incredible.
