Good Morning from just outside of Lake Isabella, California. #travel #traveling #wandering #vanlife #nature #photography

I'm over here enjoying a nice riverside campsite with a few other scattered groups. Come 5pm a huge group joins the area and starts blasting music so loud I can hear it through my earbuds, in my van. It's now 11pm.. the music is still blasting. I may 'accidently' drain my bladder on their tent..

Thank you, Google Maps, for rerouting me halfway thru my 13 1/2 hr trip, and saving 21 minutes from my drive, by having me cross Death Valley in the middle of the day.. Really fucking appreciate that. #travel #traveling #deathvalley

The animated Airbender movie is a fucking masterpiece. That was such an emotional rollercoaster and I'm ready to rewatch already.

Do y'all remember when a full tank of gas cost less than $100?.. Yeah.. me too

The thing I hate most about #vanlife, without having an uber expensive pre built monstrosity, is that anytime I try to look something up regarding my build I get hundreds of conflicting 'reputable' sources telling me different things. For fuck sake.

Some people have therapy. I, myself, have a 12pack of Monsters. I like where I sit in this.

I haven't done any discord-bot related development in.. years. That being said, I'm really enjoying my time on @fluxer.app so far, and as it's early days there's a definite void in the bot space. Time to get started..

So I switched operating systems on my laptop sometime within my insomnia-driven night. I then proceeded to spend an hour, somehow forgetting it was a fresh install, trying to understand why none of my work apps were showing up.

Insomnia's a bitch. Indecisiveness' a bastard. Am I spending my entire night swapping the Linux distro on my laptop, or launching a new unnecessary website? Who the fuck knows. #nosleep

Gaming isn’t just a hobby for some people. It’s an escape when life is difficult. A temporary distraction. A way to connect with friends across the world. Video games help more than some people think. Wish more people could see that.

Congress is completely useless at this point.

I don't consider myself as overly pedantic in regards to continuity in fanfictions I read. That being said.. If the first paragraph of the story describes the MC as 24 years old, the second paragraph, with the same character in focus, really shouldn't start with "The 25 year old man.."

hey man. can you guys stop coding with claude or pierre or whatever so we can have a regularly functioning app

I've been considering getting back into Minecraft plugin development. It's been a solid few years since I've really touched it, and I'm curious to see how the environment has changed.

Trying to decide if I should purchase a new laptop (currently running on an 8gb with a Ryzen 5), to have a better workstation; or; invest in a nice camera so I can take way better photos of the places I travel through. #decisions #imbadatmakingthem

“It looks easy, until a cow tries crossing it.” Santa Fe National Forest, New Mexico #nature #traveling #photography

An hour ago, Trump posted a video of himself saying, "To be a great nation, you must have religion and you must have god." On behalf of those who want neither: Pass and fuck off.

I've never been so sympathetic to the ideals of the Confederacy of Independent Systems..

As is the norm for me this year, and my continued effort to replace a majority of my most-used programs, I'm enthusiastically impressed by @fluxer.app as an alternative to Discord. I've had an almost seamless transition period moving all of my stuff over and setting up a new community (server).

Literally every app and website I use has gotten significantly less user friendly and less reliable once AI is added to the mix. Every. Single. One.

I try so far not to fall down the politics-doomsayer rabbit hole, but I do have to say just this once; Fuck Trump and the imbeciles that enable his bullshit.

Spending my last few days in the Lincoln National Forest before I head up towards Colorado.

I'm all for a Firefly reboot/continuation, it's been damn well long enough of waiting, but that it's animated just makes me feel sorta "meh" about it. I understand *why* they're going the path of animated over live-action, I'm just never as much a fan of animated reboots.

This year has been such a weird upheaval for my software preferences. I no longer use Windows. I severely cut down my use of Discord. I deleted my GMail address. Hell, I even moved off of Trello.

Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico. It figures I'd be here during an unprecedented heat wave.

I spent my entire day laying on my bed reading fanfictions. I'm a grown ass adult. Life is good.

People who run their obnoxiously loud generators through the night at public campgrounds should be treated with the same level of disdain as people who take up multiple parking spots at a grocery store.
