BTW, I should probably say that I may put spoilers under posts I CW "Genshin Impact", so if you dont want spoilers for that game, maybe be careful about those posts.

Friendly reminder: it's good to be assertive, but it's not good to be aggressive, and there's a not-so-fine line between assertive and aggressive, and you cross that line (nay, yeet yourself deep into aggressive territory) the moment you decide other people's boundaries don't matter. Assertiveness is a good thing, but assertive people also take others into account and try very hard to not cross others' boundaries. Be assertive, not aggressive.

Mind you, this is a group paper, so my professor's gonna have to read through an 18 page paper.

This is a second-year class at a community college.

Granted, two of those pages are references, but still. I was expecting a five page paper, but it's looking like it's gonna be ten. I was only supposed to write four. Oh geez.

So, it's 02:30, I'm currently working on a paper for my microbiology class. It's supposed to be four pages. It's looking like my paper's gonna be five. Then I remembered it was supposed to be double-spaced...

I may or may not have been on an SCP binge lately... :blobcatmlem:

Listening to the Wii and DSi shop themes and just thinking about the fact that tech used to be fun. It had charm, personality. Nowadays, it's all just sterile. Bring back those Windows 98 Plus! themes. Bring back ambient noises on console home screens. Bring back skeuomorphism. I haven't been excited about technology since 2015. Make me care again.

Or, you know, shove another unnecessary LLM into your product and further turn me off. Might as well.

people should really stop using numerically shortened words like i11n, l10n, a11y. type the whole fucking word, i don't want to play guessing games when reading.

So many World Series-winning opportunities all missed by so improbably little, that the final, series-deciding one was the compromised structural integrity of a baseball bat.

The Blue Jays forced the series to need all seven games, forced two of them (3 and 7) to need extra innings, outscored the Dodgers 34 runs to 26, out-hit them 75-53, and out-fielded them 0 errors to 3.

The worse of the two teams won.

so it turns out a completely heartless team with money and no capacity for love, spirit or joy, can win the world series.

The result of the 2025 World Series is emblematic of everything wrong with the world right now.

Oh, yeah, I left out the thing about me needing new doorknobs for my bedroom because Menace figured out how to open the lever-style knobs we had! Seriously, he's trouble

We've had these two for a year now. The one on the left has earned the name Baby, because him baby. The one on the right is Menace, because he likes to cause problems, like destroying the blinds and waking Mom up at 3 AM with what she describes as "dexterity olympics" (or, you know, knocking her meds off her dressing table)
