Updated follow rules:

  • Have something for me to go off on who you are. Posts, bio, something! If you don't, I will deny your request at best and block you at worst. (Probably deny, unless you're a bot.)
  • I post 18+ stuff, so minors don't follow.
  • If you don't support trans folx, enbies, otherkin, or ND folx, just fuck off right now.

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.

Bad habits I need to break 

If I do this to you, I'm really sorry. I'm trying not to act flippant about stuff, I really am.

Bad habits I need to break 

Saying "obviously" when I'm trying to explain something to someone who doesn't know about it. Like, gods fucking damn, brain! You're explaining it to them *precisely because it's not obvious*! Stop saying "obviously"!

Incidentally, like, last week, Mom brought home a pair of kittens. They're adorable, sure, but also fucking trouble. Last night, we had to move the couch to stop them from being able to climb the curtains.

Orange cats are a hivemind.

Unfortunately for them, they're a hivemind with a single brain cell.

Reasons to learn programming:

  • Misery loves company (Join us! It's totally a fun hobby~!)
  • Fun new ways to nerd snipe yourself! ("Hey, I bet I could write a program to do that!")
  • You might actually find a use for it (maybe, possibly, once in a blue moon, rarely)

:promoted: This post brought to you by me spending the last few hours writing a program to turn GPS coordinates into a Maidenhead locator (and vice versa!)

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.

I get that I have peers who disagree with me on this but I have no interest in playing games with GenAI NPCs/dialogue/quests/whatever. If it didn't deserve the author's time then why would it deserve mine? I don't see why I should choose this

Okay, story time. I was asked for the tale of my laser eye injury, so here you go. I'm fine. Customers were fine. No children were harmed. The only victims were me and Bob's career. funraniumlabs.com/2024/07/how-

man, game show themes are amazing

catchy rhythms, amazing percussion, someone going ham on the slap bass and smokin' saxophone solos

From Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies 11e:

The United States was largely spared [from Thalidomide related tragedy] because of the length of time required for review and the rigorous scrutiny of new drug applications by the FDA.

Am I surprised that Frances Kelsey's role in stopping approval of thalidomide was completely erased in favor of what sounds like nationalistic BS? No. But I'm still disappointed.
