@ajsadauskas@aus.social @fuck_cars@lemmy.ml I can get to all of those except a hospital and arena, too. Most in much less than 15 min. Granted, I live in a small city with a still vibrant downtown.
Of course, I wouldn't walk right now. It's freezing out there!
Artist, writer, and epic fantasy aficionado by night. Code monster by day.
Big-D Democrat, and small-d democrat.
Gen X, somewhere on the interminable crooked road between "cynical" and "bitter".
I'm a classical nerd. I learned Pascal on a Kaypro 4 CP/M box. I once housed a Data General mainframe in the family chicken shack, terminal and all ($60 at a university auction). I have worked on physical Unix terminals, not one of these new-fangled "terminal emulators".
But, I'm also an artist, writer, and musical hobbyist. When I was younger, I was a quester, seeking some higher truth, if it was possible to be found in what remained of the wilds of America. I lived in the woods for years. Years. In tents, or yurts, or under tarps, or under stars and the sigh and susurus of the wind in the trees.
I've got stories, man. Real stories. True stories.
Life can take many shapes, and it can change shape.
These days I program computers. I got a degree in Pure Math and found a niche. You haven't heard of the company I work for, but I help shape an industry that influences your life. You can try to guess if you want. I don't mind. I'll even tell you if you're right. It's a harmless industry, for the most part. Nothing nefarious.
