We got a set of dominoes and J was like oh haha I don't remember the rules this feels like just a game of chance and then she annihilated me, her final round she got thirty seven points ama

it is 16 12 should I make myself an espresso

if you want to encourage someone but feel that a "go off, king!" is too boisterous, consider a sophisticated "go on, king"

It's me hi I'm the guy who makes an init method with arguments for all the instance variables and also a classmethod called "load" so you can just pass in a file IT MUST BE EXHAUSTING ALWAYS ROOTING FOR THE ANTIHERO

Kumara the little dog has learned that of she sits on the heated blanket and looks sad we'll turn it on for her, and it's fun to imagine her wild ancestors looking down at this tableau being like HELL YEAH GIRL GET THAT BREAD

what's a html document for? content? no you caveman ofc it's the entry point for a pile of javascript that builds the entire layout and pulls in actual content on the fly and if any of the steps craps out any time you are obliged to flush everything already rendered and do a full screen panic

i propose that all web framework developers must undergo one mandatory year of having their internet throttled to simulate the connectivity in antarctica and then reflect on their ass backwards design decisions

Ah well style rules are just sort of conventions, foolish adherence to consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds [sees a directory where the modules are capitalized] I Am Going To Take Your Bones Away

The thing about git submodules is that once it works, you're history's number one genius, but the problem is that it's actually really difficult to be history's number one genius

While my personal philosophy is to rarely trust "YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS VIDEO" on the timeline, I've been having a really good time with PBS talking about the infrastructure of McMurdo Station, Antarctica. Let's all cheer! for the workers! youtu.be/yTaVvSe03TQ?...

I was getting a calendar with pictures of trains on Amazon, and the "people who buy this usually also buy" was 1) a bottle of pre-shave fluid for electric razors 2) bulk AA batteries and 3) a different train calendar

Alright just saw Sense and Sensibility (1995) and lemme just say FUCK John Willoughby all my homies hate John Willoughby

Hey @joechoui.bsky.social I made some clown shoes

I almost walked out, and made my mom walk out, of Fellowship of the Ring, because in the first five minutes the orcs were the most viscerally repulsive thing I'd ever seen, I couldn't handle them but I was strong

I actually have a sweater for Christmas parties this year I'm going to wear this sweater to another party I hope this one everybody else is actually also wearing sweaters unlike the last one where everybody was elegantly and tastefully dressed

I made it better* *worse

I'm in your imports section I'm importing * from the modules. Why am I doing this? You may think it is because it costs me a penny every time I hit a key. But the real answer is because I hate you and want to harm you. I wish opening an MR set off your bomb collar.

It turns out that the same is true for baguettes with the added problem of because it is a Healthy Bread and not Unhealthy Cake, the difficulty in arguing against another slice is much harder

Watched a video on cooking in Antarctica and on one hand I'm hit again with the regret that I never went to Antarctica as a cook and on the other hand Virginia winters make me oscillate continuously between the first four stages of grief for like three months, Antarctica would Unwind Me

ME: yeah so I was cooking rice so I could make fried rice ANUBIS: that's a little ridiculous ME: well I didn't have any leftover rice because I eat it all, is the problem ANUBIS: oh okay that makes sense ME: so we're cool ANUBIS: ah, no AMMIT, DEVOURER OF THE UNRIGHTEOUS DEAD: absolutely not

Mumford y sus hijos and Hozier teamed up to go a song valled "Rubber Band Man" and I'm not 100% sure what it's about, but it contains the immortal line "When I said 'forever,' you said 'get back in the car.'" which I love. The picture it makes in my heart amuses me very much.

i’ll never forget when i found out how far food banks can stretch money i was like well this is dumb i should just give them a bunch of money and i felt like mansa musa throwing out gold on his hajj.

one more hour of work but I am le tired, should I quaff this Potion of Anxiety what we thinkin chat

"Repealing the 19th amendment" is just, that's a fucking fever dream, the last amendment successfully proposed was in '71, the last amendment we ratified was a freak proposed in 1789, we can barely pass a budget these days, but yeah I'm sure in a few years that'll be on the table

Somebody at the all-hands used "Department of War" and the friend chat all lit up at the same time

King size mattresses are too damn big, that's my finding after a year. The pillows as well. Full is sufficient. Queen is the limit. King is bourgeois excess and we will remember them in the revolution.

Got goofed by the language of the White House press release, so with malice towards none and charity towards all here's the issue - the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (today) is about Mary who was conceived free of original sin. The Feast of the Annunciation is the one about Mary's "yes".

everyone has those nightmares where you go back to school right?

I was taught extensively about critical thinking and investigating sources during my stint of high school debate in Florida. For many peers, it was a stepping stone to becoming megaphones for demagogues. Merely teaching skills only gets you so far. Incentives determine how you use them.

Somehow my sugar bowl had salt put into it, and let me tell you, the resulting cocktail ("Figgy Pudding: Punishment Forme", Tbsp fig jam tsp salt 3oz gin, top with ginger ale) was Not Good and adding one more teaspoon for sweetening did not improve it

Then women get the thing for a while and people are like “what do you mean women weren’t allowed to have pockets in clothing?” meanwhile someone else with a YouTube channel is like “Video about how female pockets killed masculinity.”

man what is the word for when you're like "hey man, this seems like a cool hobby, how could I get into it?" and the responses are like "well it's incredibly expensive and a huge pain in the ass to do it right"

The judgmental imp

EMILY: This city needs you now LIGHT: The city needs a suicide bomber you say EMILY: This city needs you LIGHT: [flecked with blood and shrapnel] a gunman EMILY: You LIGHT: [smelling of smoke] a second gunman EMILY: Thomas LIGHT: [shrugging into a bulky coat] a COMPETENT suicide bomber EMILY: THOMAS

It has been like two hours and I am still thinking about how Mackenzie says to Bluey "you know, it's like jumping from one sheep to another" and Bluey goes "we don't JUMP on sheep, Mackenzie!" and Mackenzie is like "... really?" BECAUSE MACKENZIE IS A SHEEP DOG, YOU SEE AND BLUEY IS A CATTLE DOG

So J has had to take trainings on AI CSAM (nudify apps: great for bullying, blackmail), and one `silver lining` of "nonconsensual sexual content too cheap to meter" is, when any media is presumptively false, it *may* shift the moral judgment from the person imaged to the person sharing the media.

TROGLODYTES: omp omp omp I love eating orcs and other- DYNAMO: 🐁 TROGS: DYNAMO: 🎶👻🎶🎷🐁 TROG 1: that's the scariest fucking sax I've ever heard TROG 2: should we do something about that TROG 1: dude, still eating TROG 2: ah yeah true, well, let's finish up here and ATANAH [too loudly]: 🔥🧙‍♀️🔥 HELLO

Best teaching advice I’ve ever received: (1) Don’t make a promise you can’t keep. [Whether threat or gift.] (2) Don’t be an asshole.

Thinking about the commenter who was like, the only problem with e.g. AI CSAM is that people might think it's real, once it's understood how easy it is to fake it'll be no more societally dangerous than a pencil drawing of the same, and, I can't put my finger on what my problem with it is.

Went to the church to make some parols for the Simbang Gabi Mass afterparty and for a while I was the only non-Filipina non-grandmother, but I did my best with the instructions provided

The Protomen: got some straight gas 🔥 this strain is called "the final song of Act III" you'll be zonked out of your gourd Me: cool, ready for some resolution 5 minutes later: dude I swear I just saw hidden tracks in the forest My buddy Phillip pacing: Bandcamp is lying to us

online friendship is crazy. like yeah we go way back. we talk about weird shit exclusively and we've seen each other in person between zero and four times

In a fuckin pickle here where an outlet, when created, announces itself over the network, and you can create an inlet to receive it, but if the outlet terminates after announcing itself but before the inlet is created from the announcement, you get a hang that requires SIGKILL to escape.
