Ah, ok

He’s satire

I just assumed he was another one of those McDojo idiots

1. If you’re in this situation, you’ve got about a 95% chance of being boned, regardless of what training you have
2. The fuck is that dude doing wearing a coral belt

My brain doesn’t fully boot until like 10pm

I cannot control it. Life would be a lot easier if i could

The yeast of thoughts and mind

OwO

When I’m doing mental roll call (to make sure I’ve not trapped one somewhere), i call them

• cat 1
• cat 2
• dog 1
• cat 3
• dog 2

In order of their acquisition

Just about every change in communication technologies has caused social and political turmoil

• the printing press
• radio
• TV
• the internet
• social media

One possible explanation is that, new forms of communication often don’t have as much social regulations (intrinsic or extrinsic), which cause the proliferation of socially unacceptable ideas and conspiracy theory

There are a couple of YouTube videos by Hank Green that go into this topic

• Populism, Media Revolutions, and Our Terrible Moment
• and iirc I’ve not been doing well

That’s not to say that i don’t feel the “doomscroll depression”, or that things will 100% get better. Just that there’s a historical trend, and we happen to be in the dip of the largest communications tech change in history

It’s different because it’s 24/7, and global. But it’s the same pattern

I dunno how viable it is, but linux phones with waydroid is a thing

Also, I’d imagine that a small pocket of custom ROM amd root folks will still exist

Come hell or high water, i will retain control of my phone

There’s the FairPhone 6, running e/OS, Which is a deGoogled port of android, running microG

How do we know Lord Ruler isn’t forging the documents as blackmail against Musk?

(Not that i believe they are, but it seems plausible)

(I should probably point out that I’m not really paying attention to the details here)

Well, considering it’s still summer weather outside…

I’m a software developer by hobby and professionally. It can be a bit difficult to thread that needle. While it can be quite fun to get into “the zone” and write code for 6 hours straight until 4am multiple times a week, that’s also the quickest way to burnout (and literally sent me to therapy)

One thing I’m trying to do is write a custom todo / daily planner app for my phone. I’m hoping that i can use this to better manage my free time

It’s slow going, as i can only dedicate a handful of hours during the week to personal projects (before i want to yeet myself out the window at the sight of my computer). And weekends are spent playing catchup to sleep, house chores, and other hobbies

It is still fun though. I just have to remind myself to not get into analysis paralysis, and focus on manageable chunks (some days, those chunks are embarrassingly small). I literally just spent an hour or so fighting with C# csproj files to compile Android libraries (my goal was to get notifications working, but it’s almost midnight)

Most important thing is to get good quality sleep, regularly, at the same time of day. Without that, you will slowly lose your sanity, and will not notice until it becomes a problem

All of my litter boxes are on 3’ tall utility tables

Because that was the only way to prevent the dog from eating it

That is adipose tissue (body fat)

So yes, she’s American

Imo, it’s nice to see tools written in a memory safe systems language

Especially if you use a lot of them. More utility, less attack surface

Being the kid sucks worse

You’re dragged around the store as a living mannequin, while simultaneously being bored out of your mind

Sew your own

There’s a ton of tutorials on YT, and a basic sewing machine is like $80

(Not to say that women’s pants shouldn’t have decent pockets, just that you’re not forced to deal with them)

My cats don’t mind when i pet the neighborhood cats

They do like to sniff my hands after, tho
