Wasn't paying a damn bit of attention and put peanut butter and jelly on a cheddar rice cake (instead of lightly salted) and I'm sure doing so broke several local ordinances

My local grocery stupidity strikes again Guy in front of me just bought 20 gift cards.. ..one at a time... Self check never sounded better, but I'm invested in seething about it now....

I may or may not have put duct tape over the crevices in the windows in my office to keep it a bit warmer in here so i don't have to warm my hands on the bottom of my laptop like a techy Bob Cratchit

Spending a ton of free time lately modifying my blogging software to make it more convenient for me to add new articles as well as prep it for (initially) ActivityPub and (maybe eventually) AT Proto compatibility Here's hoping I have more free time next year to push it over the line in 2026! 🙃

NGL - I often times have more fun hate-watching movies

Day 3978 of me imploring every movie and TV series to end with a happy AF Bollywood style dance/music number

If your argument is "well mathematically anything can and will eventually happen" but you also invest heavily in crypto you are either arguing in bad faith or are a fugging moron

Prior to AI art we had Bored Ape Prior to that we had Fiverr Prior to that we had corporate offshoring Prior to that we had greedy companies Prior to that we just had theft Stay classy corp bros

If AI doesn't kill entry level coders, the inability of Google to function as a useful research tool and the continued vitriol on Stack Overflow will

I approach AI artwork with the same passion that Kristi Noem has for dogs in the newest episodes of South Park

The fuck we are.. Creative people are out of energy from grind-working to pay for essentials Creative companies are disappearing because it may cause stonks-go-down "AI" in science can find patterns based on creative existing research.. but those aren't ideas, ya simp […]

Closing a small business checking account I have because they plan to start charging for it 1/1 Went to CSV download my yearly transactions and it only allows me to download the last 90 days (if I had a premier account I could get more); can see all year online tho Purposely broken UX blows

Bored, social-media-pilled middle class Americans struggling with their finances are starting to realize they are closer to being lower class than they ever will be upper class and trying to gaslight + bot-post them back into voting against their own best interests again is getting harder by the day

Really decent guy I used to work with has been absolutely red-pilled by "LinkedIn thought-leader culture post" is out there engagement farming about improving inconsistencies in healthcare data and man you hate to see it

Fug Paramount - this here is the type of hostile takeover of Warner Bros I can get behind... https://theonion.com/plex-submits-35-bid-for-warner-bros/

My wife when she realized I played Megadeth Radio all year on her phone on mute while she slept solely to fug with her 2025 Spotify Wrapped

Revenge degen eating mass amounts of dried fava beans and protein heavy cottage cheese because my son is home from college and has been crop-dusting me all day Two can play at this game

My son just proclaimed "My sweet potatoes are bad ass" and, honestly? He's not wrong...

If I listened to self proclaimed "professional coders" who have only ever licked the corporate boot for a living I'd have never considered myself "good enough" to make a career out of coding Takeaway - Gatekeepers are assholes

99 problems and having 99 different things to eat on Thanksgiving ain't one

Job interviewer : "I noticed you have a 6 month gap in your resume 15 years ago; could you elaborate on what you were doing during that time?" Me :

We've gotten to the point where it's more convenient to drive out and buy a physical recipe book than it is to find a usable recipe on the internet

There's a larger-than-should-be % of social media power-posters that are going to chastise you for every small decision that brings you convenience or joy until you are as resting-state miserable as they are If someone is working to make you unhappy, it's fine to block/ignore 'em and move on

Retired ex-union members who vote for anti-union candidates are at best the dullest blades in the knife drawer and at worst the most egregious purveyors of the deeply 'mercan "I gots mines so you can blow" brain rot mindset

Truly is amazing how much easier it is to follow a proper diet and reduce poor habits when you are happy with your boss and job

Protip : if you have a public shop/restaurant that plays music, spend a few extra bucks on a cheap speaker and wire to pump the music into your bathroom Signed : Public Poopers everywhere

I don't normally post political shit, but fuck this immediately imposed H1B policy change all to high hell

The last week has been really, really weird in regards to "famous and terminally online" people feeling some weird obligation to respond to its events Hot take : Sometimes.. actually most times... silence is fine. It absolutely beats both insincerity and interaction farming

Many journalists consider themselves social-media aristocracy It's why they hot-take instead of research It's why they won't leave Twitter It's why they twist themselves in knots to sanitize other horrid Twitter celebs They scream "mah job" but that's secondary They prefer serfs to self-respect

It's adorable that my relative negatively used the phrase "terminally online" to describe someone he doesn't personally know in his 17th post on Facebook today

Get my new book : Ditch your bedroom! Learn to Sleep Standing Up In Your Pantry + 98 other life hacks that make being poor sound cute so your CEO can purchase a third beach-house and buy a bunker to protect himself if his side-hustle of ruining livelihoods for profit and sport goes sideways.

..when LinkedIn tries to encourage me to congratulate someone that's been at the same job for 25+ years..

Facebook be like -

...Microsoft specifically warns not to use it (Copilot in Excel) for "any task requiring accuracy or reproducibility"... Imagine that dialogue when the calculator was being marketed. I would say "wild" times, but "stupid" is a far better descriptor. LLMs are ass […]

It really is adorable when it's the golden-parachute-sporting C-Suiters, who haven't had their nose in production code for years, clamoring loudest for rapid AI adoption

Job posting : "Looking for an independent, strategic thinker.." Over promoted, mid-level hiring manager :

If you actually hear someone in the wild raging about the Cracker Barrel logo, the most prudent and mindful thing to do is check the active Silver Alerts in your area

Every year my socially regressive neighborhood has a "music fest" It's usually just a bunch of weekend warriors, young kids, and bad acoustic acts banging out pop-country topped off with a "80s tribute pop band" grand finale.. yet people 'round here simp for this shit like it's Redneck Woodstock

The biggest bootlicking ex-coworkers on your LinkedIn timeline when someone higher in their current company hierarchy posts company slurping or AI propoganda

Scheduled my wellness check yesterday so guess which fatboi is begrudgingly on a healthy eating kick for the next few months?

The problem with being a full-stack developer is you're usually 80%+ qualified for tons of jobs but hiring managers are still like "he's never used TarantuLEET and hasn't formally scaled a Hunkerdong server so lets go with the hyper specific candidate that's had 17 job changes over the last 2 years"

Me after adding canned tuna to my out-of-the-box Kraft garlic and herb Mac and white cheddar Cheese lunch dish

The best social media experiences are those when you see a couple of interesting things in your timeline, click on one and then page back to look at the second one ..but everything refreshes and the page reorders with completely new shit and finding anything you previously saw becomes impossible 😏

Death, taxes, and an unending loop of Showtime squeezing every drop of juice out of their Dexter franchise are about the only things guaranteed in this world

Today's young men are coming of age listening to Joe Rogan instead of Rage Against the Machine and it shows

The only mention of crypto I want to see in my timeline from this point forward doesn't even start with the letter C and stars in the new Superman movie

The irony is not lost on me that some of the biggest tech leaders that pounded the "rigid departmental coding standards" drum for decades were the fastest to embrace the "lulz let AI just vibe code it now" mindset solely to keep the taste of corporate boot as prevalent on their tongues as possible

The best part about writing shit for yourself as a coder is you can shit all over "agreed upon best conventions" that were championed by organizations primarily to make coders interchangeable pieces and instead rely upon your 30+ years of coding experience to write shit efficiently and affordably

There is absolutely a non-zero number of LinkedIn thought leaders that would autofellaciate to their nightly wet-dream of AI causing 90% unemployment if they had the physical capability to do so
