you know how in 3d video games they make doorways way bigger than they would be in real life because otherwise people miss the door hole and get stuck trying to go through them too often this same logic was used to design all California roads

computer boots successfully after cross country move

My boyfriend who just drove MANY hour denied letting me drive when I offered for many more hour. Reasoning: “If im the one driving, you have to feed me treat. Dog doesn’t feed owner treat. Owner feed dog treat.”

pittsburgh's streets seem to follow any one of like, 20 different grid systems depending on your precise location perfect city

i saw a red leaf and felt a 50 degree breeze. I screamed, “we’re back to HOT COFFEES MOTHERFUCKERS,” and my neighbors watched me run on all fours to the local cafe

Black Sheep by Metric (not the Alison Brie version) in the chicken finger restaurant put me in hitstun today

Me, smiling: "That's Jeremy! He may seem harsh, but trust me, his criticism comes from a place of love!" Smile dropping, eyes disappearing into shadow: "Love, too, is an acronym."

Average midwesterner explaining the rule of social etiquette you just broke:

I have a commission idea

I talk funny and baristas have misheard every conceivable version of my name -- after I got called "Stain" I decided to just use anything. "Moose" is a pup name I go by so I use that most frequently Today, the barista, very earnestly, asked me "do you spell that the way I'd think you spell that"

someday i will learn how to talk about things i have strong feelings about with a socially acceptable level of intensity probably

I have been working alone on a project for the past... 4 or 5 months, and I've been documenting things as I go. But i'm only just now collating that documentation into one final document that others can use to retrace my steps It's dawning on me that this project was not trivial

Also... there are some people I am just not the right person to be that support to. And in those cases, I hope for the sake of everyone involved that that will be understood... before any issues arise.

I understand and have been a support to folks when something goes wrong in their life and they freeze up. Everyone heals in different ways, at different rates, and I get that. Sometimes we go through periods in our life where, even little decisions become hard to make. But, sometimes...

i have one box full of every paper i read in grad school that i have been carrying with me for the 3-4 years since i finished and I won't feel I have truly released myself from grad school until I am able to throw that box into a bonfire

not to be edgy but sometimes it's not about the cute puppyboy aesthetic but instead it's dog as in creature raised alongside you and expected to smother every instinct and behavior to be considered palpable. dog trained not to bite nor bark nor run nor chew. dog as in we love you- but not like that.

One of the best things about being in an international server is that if I mention that I live in Bear Country (CO), the Australians all howl about how we need to shut up about Aussie wildlife, because THEIR large carnivores mostly stay in the water, NOT INVITE THEMSELVES INTO THE KITCHEN. (🧵1/?)

Went to da fair

If a person is passive-aggressive with you or says backhanded things to you regularly, I think it's a normal response to avoid unnecessary interactions with them reminding myself of this today

I LOVE GUNGI

Couple of cuties for @kaiyoht.dog and @opda.bsky.social Had fun drawing these, specially martens of course :3 Never have done a coyote, so thats awesome too!

Okay this is an ice cream place here, not custard, but this is the kind of thing i'm talking about if you want one scoop you don't order a "single", you order a "junior", which is amount of ice cream you will not find described anywhere on the menu. You just have to know to ask for it

I'm glad the movie is finally coming out but I hope they don't do the voice

Waiter, waiter! Bring me your finest "11,000 Young Children are Seated Directly Behind Me Specifically and Coughing", I'll spare no expense!

I'm sorry Windows, I know i've been a bad bad dog for not booting you up in a month, I accept my punishment of not getting to use my computer for a full day while you update

I haven't been full cross country but visiting family in colorado several times and other random trips still gets me some pretty good coverage

We love cryptic replies that aren't clearly positive or negative Are you mad at me? Agreeing with me? Or are you just like, completely skew and yet somehow we have bumped into each other anyways? I will never know. It will haunt me for 30 seconds and then I will cast the anxiety into the abyss

I've ordered a sandwich with fries I've received a sandwich, no fries to be found I hesitate I open the sandwich and look inside Fries are inside the sandwich

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

Sometimes my job is boring as shit and sometimes I get to reverse engineer a different team's logging code because they're asking us for corresponding logs on our side but their logs are nonsense gobbledygook that don't line up with our logs at all

i'm love when the time signature is silly i'm love when the time signature changes frequently

Coworker just posited "If the manager doesn't come to standup by 10 minutes of its scheduled start you are legally allowed to leave"

Sometimes I like to look at systems or policies and reverse engineer why they are the way they are, and it's fun when I realize I have enough domain knowledge to get a pretty good guess. And then I see a bunch of people complaining on social media about the thing who just make up wild theories lmao

Love when I ask my manager in the team slack channel "This company we have a contract with wants us to send them unrelated confidential material, and I'm pretty sure I should just tell them no, right?" and then my coworker responds "here's how I would send them the confidential material"

A higher up has finally explained something concrete to use AI for in my job. Instead of doing actual audits, my company is planning to have AI chatbots open support tickets with teams asking for audit evidence. It's been recommended that we make AI chatbots to respond with said evidence.

little coyote's fantasy 🪢

I've felt like I've been doing the bare minimum at work for the past... a little longer than 6 months. But when I actually sit down and do self-evaluations on what I have accomplished in that time, I'm surprised to realize I did complete a lot... I just had even more I was trying to do.

Love going to cons, but hate figuring out who else is going? You might want to check out the @conlabels.furryli.st labeler 😉
