Yeah, I'll check on him, don't worry.

Though I don't think he'd be opposed to hearing from you, either.

[Just saying. If Ian's up for trying to reach out.]

[wittingly]

I don't know man
I sent him a private reply and it didn't really go anywhere
I don't wanna
You know

( Smother him?? Come on too strong? Take a bigger risk than that? All of the above maybe. )

[lifetothefullest]

'Didn't go anywhere' as in it was awkward and surface level, or something worse?

[Just making sure of if it's something he needs to help with.]

[wittingly]

awkward and surface level
pretty much amounted to 'i'm sorry, that sucked' and 'thanks, i'm gonna go for a walk'
but with a little filler

[lifetothefullest]

Okay. That's a first step, at least.

[So not a bad thing, even if it might've felt like one. Which leads into--]

How are you doing, now that you've had a little more time to adjust?

[Not a lot of time, but you know.]

[wittingly]

Fine
Chronically overthinking myself off the skin of the earth but what else is new

You?

[lifetothefullest]

Regretting the choice to use the network again.

[wittingly]

No fucking kidding
To be honest man I stopped reading after the Riverstone thing
I just don't have the bandwidth for it
It's like reading the comments section on a republican youtube channel

[lifetothefullest]

[That actually made him laugh, so thank you Ian.]

Smart move, and you're not wrong. I'm about to tap out too, I think; there's only so much I can take of people on the moon lecturing me about the situation happening here on Earth.

[wittingly]

( any time, man. )

I feel like that HAS to be a really profound metaphor for something, I just don't have the computing power to get there.

[lifetothefullest]

We'll have to make it a thing later when we have the energy to really decide exactly what it means.

[wittingly]

I'll put it on the whiteboard
also, I made a whiteboard

[lifetothefullest]

That's literally the best thing I've heard all day.

[wittingly]

RIGHT??

you want one?

[lifetothefullest]

I would love that, though you'll have to tell me what you're using to write with on it.

[wittingly]

I made the markers too, it's not super hard. Just ethanol, water, hexyldecanoic acid triglyceride, plysurf, monobasic carb acid ester, liquid parafin, isopropyl myristate and pigment that you kind of funnel into a container and shove a wick into

[lifetothefullest]

[A short delay, and then--]

Okay, so I understood most of those words individually, but I'm going to have to trust that you're not dihydrogen-monoxiding me or something with the chemicals and just nod and agree.

[wittingly]

the dangers of dihydrogen-monoxide aren't a joke, Lance.

[lifetothefullest]

Sorry, you're right, serious issue.

[wittingly]

Thank you
I've been fighting for that cause almost as hard as GMOs

anyway, I'll wheel it over sometime tomorrow

[lifetothefullest]

Thanks. Give me like a half an hour heads up if you can whenever you're on your way, so I can make sure to actually be there.

[Since he's kind of... Everywhere lately.]

[wittingly]

alternatively I could fling open your doors unannounced and accidentally catch you jerking off to really cement the bond of our friendship

that's how we did it in college

[lifetothefullest]

Or you could not do that.

I was underage in college, so my roommates were very careful with their knocking.

[He will turn this awkwardness back on you so far, Ian.]

[wittingly]

wait what

( good job it worked )

[lifetothefullest]

[Excellent, he's still got it.]

Which part?
