i thought some amount of the death of hyper energy in my life was, like, being nearly thirty and not a teenager but i regret forgetting how much of that came from listening to hardstyle

signed, Maybe The Fundamentals Were Requirement Solicitation All Along

wow i do not want to sit down and work

no YOU’RE the one putting a Mormon post-hardcore band on repeat

i hate having to raise my eyebrows to look like im not mad

signed, You Have Not Fabbed Enough Chips To Get That Shirty About “Fundamentals”

there isn’t a layer of abstraction that’s the “real” reasonable layer to know-all-the-way-down to. it’s entirely context-dependent. and given the context they actually work in, many Computer Men on the Internet would be better served by spending their time learning the higher and more human-interfacing layers better than bemoaning that the kids these days don’t appreciate SIMD or whatever

this is not a function of the angle at which the photo was taken. no I do not really want a large vehicle still, I’m just saying I understand the arms race logic

and this is why americans end up concluding they too need large vehicles to feel safe on the road

and re the planter : sempervivens MY ASS.

you might think that is a hot tub in the background of this photo. this is a common misunderstanding. it is a frog habitat

she got up there by herself. are the lounge chairs even ours anymore

they don’t advertise how unpleasant it is when you don’t brush out long hair for like two days and then you have to fix whatever happened inside your bun during that time

my originally dibsed formulation was “Illuminaughty” which didn’t have search results at the time, but a friend gently guided me to the light. friends help friends workshop their bits

respectfully, duck duck go, fuck off

i don’t remember whether i’ve posted these to fedi before but even if i have, You’re Welcome For The Reminder

today i am wearing this extremely powerful article of clothing

i like how this is saying Down With Property Rights without sayyyyying down with property rights https://www.newwaysministry.org/2022/09/18/shady-solidarity-a-god-who-lifts-up-the-poor/

neighbor came up to porch and i went scuttling into the bedroom.

it’s one of those things where you can roll some of it around and say that it’s nuanced and complicated and refer to its original context but also then, downstream of tolkien, you look at What The Culture Did With The Idea Of Evil Fantasy Races and….. yike

i feel like there’s probably some obsessive fan forum post rebuttal out there that would be interesting to read (“9 reasons why you CANNOT say that the siege of minas tirith represents the siege of constantinople”) but in sum… yeah https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/sjp.12477

i need a millennials-to-snake-people style extension to do something ludicrous with “virtue-signaling”

dont’ mind me just sitting here on this lounge chair absolutely paralyzed thinking about investigatory vs investigative

i want someone to write the investigatory report into https://www.facebook.com/groups/search/groups_home/?q=crime%20watch

what is the median time from the creation of Facebook group “X” to the creation of Facebook group “X uncensored”

tbh i wonder how much local history people know even the whitewashed version of. https://link.propublica.net/view/6162eee1ddd58d2826373217hcu7g.1gy2/ccd3b132

PSA: porkbun weirdness. i didn’t go in and change anything but A records were missing. all name servers fine, re-adding them fixed it

idk i am equally annoyed with facile “well it’s like the printing press” and “it’s obviously not like the printing press” just because everybody and their uncle thinks They Learned What Was Up With The Printing Press (In High School)

chris i invite you to consider………… the dislocation…….of the huguenots https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/The-Huguenots/

isn’t michael beschloss around to stop them doing this kind of thing https://twitter.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/1571860789895757824

is anyone still on twitter who can tell me if people are talking about how midjourney these days forces everything to be orange and teal

i wrote about homepages and quoted an excerpt from an essay by olia lialina but then when i actually read the essay in the published book there was a link in the footnote to her writing exactly the thing i meant but, like, years earlier. so i added it to the post but dang. i don’t mind riding around with a boombox blasting her message, though. https://maya.land/monologues/2022/09/19/homepages.html

https://thehustle.co/the-small-town-that-saved-its-only-grocery-store-by-buying-it/ I am here for it and what’s more people don’t talk enough about how the gentry in small towns and rural places have crazy unelected power. Imagine getting banned from the only store in reasonable distance

i know it isn’t just reinventing the bookmarklet…. and i love the integrations…. but it’s a little reinventing the bookmarklet https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts/use-the-run-javascript-on-webpage-action-apdb71a01d93/ios

i want to make a /uses page like https://uses.tech/ but i object on principle to segmenting off the “tech” technology that i use. i have a very nice trowel that is very good at cutting roots and it is just as much technology as my light up desk mat

deeply bizarre to realize i have eight years of seasonally created playlists saved in spotify. i wonder how access to this metadata changes how reminiscence will work. not “the kind of thing we were all listening to in our twenties” but “ah, yes, the preserved essence of winter 2015 in 21 hours of songs” https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ZRuutotQLEc8uBopJYdeN?si=7a58d6a2b0144862

do i feel bad listening to bo burnham’s Bezos I outside where neighbors can hear? yes. am i going to stop? no

whattttt is the music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YDfV9jal9Q

notably, the guy driven out was not espousing anything that wasn’t deeply mainstream. this isn’t about qanon vs liberation theology

if you’re an American who doesn’t think about Christianity much I would recommend today’s episode of The Daily. it will sound very familiar if you grew up in something evangelical-adjacent but even there I think there’s good stuff to chew on. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2GszQDrxq741NDMZgmvptW

omg just ran into my first work situation where the documentation is written in latex bless every phd holder

“aren’t you cold?” people say, doubtfully looking at bare legs under a skirt. fools!! the legs have insulation! it is the forearms that are miserable

if i insulate my throat/chest it keeps itself cozy. my fingers/toes get numb as they get cold so they don’t impact my comfort much. the real leverage is at the wrists and ankles which my circulatory system refuses to warm but which still feel the chill

electrically heated green cotton velvet wrist/forearm gauntlets with conspicuous brass power cables

ordinarily, wet cigarette or the last toke or burning hair, not nice cutesy pine. but today? i get to pretend I Am Marshmallow

that’s one thing that i hope people from less wildfire-wrought places know: normally, imagine something closer to a burning oven than a campfire

fun wildfire facts: the fire originating closer doesn’t necessarily make the smoke worse (since lots of factors can dissipate it) but it does seem to make it smell more like you’re being carefully prepared for the table with mesquite grilling pellets
