There are two big jumps around September 2014 and April 2015; I guess you either downloaded a bunch of stuff at once, or downloaded some very big files then?

Sorry for the very late response; I've been busy lately and haven't logged on in a while. My experience was somewhat different, because I watched Earthlings (a documentary on slaughterhouses and factory farms), and I knew I had to go vegan immediately. I couldn't justify one more non-vegan purchase, not even in the name of a "baby steps" transition, because I would still be causing harm to animals during that process. For me, the switch was actually pretty easy, because I just looked up vegan recipes for all of my favorite foods, and made those. Purging my mind of toxic masculinity was easily ten times more difficult than going vegan. I (and every other feminist) still expect male chauvinists to do that, no matter how difficult it may be for them, because there is no justification for continuing to cause harm once they know better. I don't see why it should be any different with veganism.

If you absolutely must take things one step at a time, just remember that every non-vegan meal is still causing harm to animals. The quicker you can make the switch, the better.

then Sprelt would frequently be asked how their name is spelt

I hope so.

right you are

She responded, and said that's sweet, but she can't claim credit for everything, since it's a group effort of a lot of people. She says one of the coolest lessons to learn is that regular working class people can do nearly anything when they get organized. She encourages you to start your own group!

I will!

is that a mf undertale reference

this certainly is one of the softwares of all time

If you can be vegetarian, going vegan is a pretty easy step from there! It's much better for your health, the environment, and most importantly the animals. https://veganbootcamp.org/ is a great resource!

add a 0 to the end of that number, and maybe that'll satiate me

I don't remember the brand name, but mine is a stainless steel stovetop kind that I got at a middle eastern market.

It's a stovetop one, but I can hear it from the other room when it starts to boil.

imagine spending all of that money instead of grabbing a piece of printer paper and writing "DO NOT DISTURB" on it

going to monch on some croutons in honor of these achievements

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was taken advantage of by my ex-roommates as well, and it's not a pleasant experience. They would never do chores, then get upset with me when I asked them to pick up after themselves. They'd treat me like a stranger in my own home, and one even had the gall to ask me to not be at home as much, when I was letting them stay there for free. I had to learn the hard way what a "taker" is, and why they don't deserve my generosity. I relate to a lot of what you're going through.

My rule of thumb is to only involve the police if the situation cannot possibly be made worse by their presence. The only thing I can think of that'd fit that bill would be a life or death situation. It's definitely a dilemma, because you deserve to be comfortable in your own home, but going to the police might result in brutality against your roommates, which would be an even worse crime than what they're putting you through (emphasis on might, since the police are always an unpredictable variable). I would make sure I've exhausted every other option before even considering it. With my ex-roommates, I set up monthly house meetings with them, where we would discuss interpersonal conflicts and issues with the division of household labor, and attempt to settle them peacefully. They didn't get much better, but it helped a little. Maybe if you're close to the end of the lease, you could try to grin and bear it for a few more months, then just not renew the lease with them. It 100% isn't fair to you that you have to put up with this, but sadly with the "justice" system being the way it is, that might just be the least terrible outcome. In an ideal world, you would have a way to settle this issue without putting them in harm's way.

I've played Minetest, it's fun

dire wolves for dire times

Happy birthday! Sorry for the belated comment, I wanted to answer yesterday, but the website timed out every time I tried to post a comment. I hope you had a great day yesterday, and have another one today!

I had a similarly confusing revelation when I played Puyo Puyo Sun for the first time last month.

that's not untrue...

I'd eat that

I was also being facetious, but I agree, it's far from ideal.
