i wish jobs were as interesting as side projects

This posting sucks.

Counterpoint, D&D being the presumed lingua franca of the hobby means that absolutely every other rpg is a legit alternative to suggest.

they need to invent a way to work out while programming. i got code to write but now i need to deadlift 😩

If you are in anyway able to go both ways... do so

Finally ... wives have better overall diets yes they enjoy a sweet treat ... but husbands will have you eating like a Rottweiler.... bowel movements hard as toddler tears on a giftless Christmas

people tell me all the time "I'm looking for a husband and cant find one" I tell them look for a wife... what about a husband from the raw historical data that suggest that's something that you want?

me, just a minute a go: "hmm, i need a short version of fragment. oh, i know! `fgt`, that's perfect"

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my $3/month for the last 10 years has paid off!

i know steam reviews are fake and bullshit but it's really annoying when a game comes out and that day it has over 100 positive reviews, all by people with 0.3 hours played. the review system is dumb, the recommendation system that rewards this is dumb, steam is dumb, it's all dumb dumb dumb.

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little to no money in my crypto x FTX wallet, and nothing particular to interest me on twitch, I thought I would discord surf a little and see the wavy part of the chat.

#netrunner I'm in a 30+C heatwave so OpenAI can break Bran 1.0 for 3 credits once

is nothing safe, nothing sacred? must everything be ruined by evil soulless ghouls?

That's part of the broken social contract that I don't think the no-take-only-throw-ass economics overlords don't get. I now see any funds I have as my only defense against indiscriminate predation. I have figured out you will kill me and drain my corpse.

They will lay me off, they will end my health insurance, they will raise my rent until I can't afford it anymore, they will destroy the tools I use by making them shittier or subscription-based or both; everything I depend on or enjoy will be Disrupted for some boy-king dipshit's funding round

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

this feels like when a physicist you admire suddenly gets really into creationism 💔

this is a difficult world for soft and small things

i've posted about the forza article on aftermath, but i note that most of us aren't posting about remap or minnmax or other similar sites that also covered forza 6. is it because those are mostly podcasts and so the coverage is much more limited? do other folks just dislike aftermath? strange imo

I mean, technically 9/11 involved a lot of tearful airport goodbyes (I'm so sorry)

folks are talking about another shitty "vibecession" article from the atlantic, so i'll repost this thread and add that last summer, my tech job boss got fired with no warning because "the cto didn't like him." he spent 9 months jobless after that. i am under no illusions that i have a stable job.

me: watching the matrix reloaded wont fix me the matrix reloaded:

i disagree with aftermath's justifications for covering forza horizon 6 because even small acts of solidarity are meaningful but also because they've abdicated responsibilities they gave themselves tellthemidied.blog/2026/05/25/i...

People don't want inconvenience. I think it comes down to a few things Actual ownership of your media. Simplicity and ease of use Physical objects are cool to hold/collect

i don't think i look gay enough, so i gotta ramp it up a bit. any pointers?

i successfully had the shortest shorts among the men at the gym

so much of the current American Pop Feminism is treating your husband like a biological predisposed sex predator but you’re the bad guy if you point out making your husband sleep in another room while you sleep with all the children at a sleepover is still fuckin weird 😭😭

Never forget that YOU are a data center. Drink some water ffs.

two thoughts: 1) it's annoying that the pope nails this (and immigration), firmly understanding the politics and power disparity, but is still anti-trans and anti-lgbtq in general. it's like, you're so close! i know you could get there if you followed through on this.

oh yeah this is good

i don't care how good you think andor or the mandalorian are they do not justify continuing this zombie franchise for the past decade and at this point even on TV there's so much more bad star wars than good. just let it die.

would you rather go to a church that flies an american flag out front or one that flies a polyamory pride flag

uh oh! that's an inside thought you said out loud! no no, we don't do that.

find one thing that you think your parents didn't do so good, research how to do it better, then focus your parenting fears energy on improving that. the rest will happen pretty naturally. for me, my parents spanked us, so i have worked on improving behavior without violence, to mild success.

6yo, in a dramatic stage whisper: papa, the song said a swear word. me: in kidz bop? i mean i don't care, i've said all the swear words in front of you, but which swear word? 6yo: it said "shut up"

Bröther, I am here to talk shit and sell adult games, and I'm really bad at finishing my game

i was very excited but my job was to convince human rights organizations that it wasn’t just a fad or a toy and that employees would not waste all of their time if they had access to it. AOL printed over one billion free trials. it wasn’t a single universal experience, nothing is.

how do i make bluesky show me all replies, no matter how spammy they look? for example, the post below has a reply from @down.blue but it doesn't appear unless i use atproto.at to find it bsky.app/profile/bart...

i watched the 2001 jet li masterpiece The One the other night. what a fuckin movie. thank you to shelved by genre (@rangedtouch.bsky.social) for giving me a reason to raid my local used book store's dvd section.

Look i don’t give a shit unless he’s dead

i watched a whole movie last night, start to finish, and i might never play another video game or watch another tv show again. all those things take too much damn time

i switched to kagi. as we all know, i love subscriptions so i thought, why not one more

losing my damn mind at this game at Bitsummit that is a dungeon crawler where you use visual scripting to create gambit-like behavior to do everything. there's no direct controls it's all programmed by you. insanely cool store.steampowered.com/app/2731030/...

extremely horny for this one

to be clear when i say "i rode my bike to the store" i am really saying "if you don't have a bike you shouldn't be allowed to vote or own property"

german speakers are always saying stuff like:
