Luckily, I've gotten much better at this lately!

what if people coded using a vocoder instead? it's the future. don't be so closed-minded.

Sometimes you can write a long comment online and just decide to not post it. And you'll still have reaped the benefits because you let yourself process the ideas in your head. Maybe this exercise made you more insightful. Maybe you even did some research and unexpectedly learned things.

In light of recent trends, here's Alucard.

I had to check because this was true in Affinity Designer 1.10 But yes, you can still copy and paste outline shapes from Affinity to Clip Studio Paint (and back). In Affinity, you have to enable "Copy items as SVG" in the settings. In CSP, you have to use "Copy vectors as SVG"

Interesting to think that some people have slow forms of some (liver) enzymes that break down certain neurotransmitters. It means stuff like caffeine, and adrenaline, and cortisol, can stay circulating in your body much longer than in other people, depending on what types you inherited.

My recent pet peeve is internet sentences trailing off with "so..." I really hope you're not implying you've considered all the possibilities, seeing that shadows of causality leave only one conclusion. Because it's usually blatantly not the case. I just assume it tickles them in the brain.

I think that post going around about frustration tolerance misses the point. It sounds more like conflation and lamentation about why humans are born with the ability to care about what other people think.

Hello? Is anyone home? It's Manul Monday!

The funny thing about the recent bsky/discord scams is that last year, I actually did have to contact someone who I hadn't contacted for years because someone was impersonating them. But not here.

I've had to deal with customer service stuff for the past few weeks and I can say LLMs, combined with red tape, has made the processes a lot more confusing and a lot less responsive to the actual issues. All it does is give the illusion that things getting attention.

Conversations about how other people are stupid is a dangerous drug.

Not enough people enjoy corn Lysaris (Lysaris is @steamedturnips.bsky.social 's corn-eating oc)

I wish I had mentors. You know those cool ones with neat, really effective tricks, and super deep wisdom that picks you up from your doubts and insecurities.

Fun fact: you can still use a touchscreen through a bandaid. but ow.

Happy Manew Year

As cheesy as it sounds, I think "analysis paralysis" is a better term than "overthinking". Because the problem isn't the amount, and the solution isn't to just do less thinking. The amount is just a side effect of the type of thinking that's happening.

I think we *are* meant to save each other. Now more than ever. It's just that we shouldn't think we know all the answers for someone else.
