Fuck me I just had to update my bio here.
Time to update the rest.
Hi, I'm Pat, I'm old, gender is a construct for marketing purposes, I mostly use he/him pronouns cause I'm rather lazy about things, Ive been with my wonderful spouse for almost a decade and have a pretty alright teenager.
I'm also the adopted gay dad to a lot of folks!
At any rate, I'm vaguely knowledgeable in the following areas (meaning I don't have to Google every question in these fields):
Mathematics: got a degree in it
IT: puts food on the table
Computers in general
Mechanics, in general
Construction
Politics
Parenting: I have at least one kid
Internet history: I'm fucking old bro
Computing history: see above
Communication, as an academic field
English, as an academic field
Service industry (for qualifications thereof, please see the last two statements)
Chemistry, not including orgo
Education, both primary and secondary as Americans call it (again, see above)
Radio and media
Video game design
Homelessness
ADHD and depression (as if you couldn't tell the former based up *waves hand vaguely*)
Trigger warning things:
Sexual things, drugs and addiction.
In general, if you can think of an experience that somebody that grew up extremely poor would have to go through OR might do in order to stay alive, chances are I know something about it have experienced it, done it, or know somebody who has.
So if you have a question, by all means ask
