@auravulpes if anyone's mad it's because they're enbyous they didn't think of it first.
I would like to sincerely apologize for this joke. Not because it's offensive or anything. Just because it's bad.
Unless it's not bad, in which case, I rescind my apology.
My new bicycle is non-binary.
It's an enbicycle.
Sweaty foxgirl celebrates
Holy shit, peeps. I just walked *an hour and a half* across Arlington just to buy a new bike. I have never been so happy to see a Target in my life, and that's including the time I got lost and struggled to find the exact same Target. I am drenched in sweat, probably lost at least 5 lbs., but I fuckin' did it.

the whole thing reads as outrage marketing to me. to the uninformed, that's the tactic of purposefully being outrageous, then rescinding it with a public apology so consumers feel like purchasing that product is positive reinforcement for the company. why give them the time of day and press coverage when they've made it clear that their views haven't changed and that the whole "0 tolerance policy" and donation to an lgbt rights organization is just a PR act

Heck maple is cute what heck
FreeBSD
So, I finally fixed my audio issues. Turns out, it has to do with an issue in the kernel that apparently only affects a couple of Dell laptops. A couple hours of recompiling later, though, and it's fixed! The static is gone!
tfw you forget you're literally *compiling a kernel*
Current ADHD mood:
Wait a second! I was compiling the FreeBSD kernel earlier, wasn't I? How's that going?
Giving up car ownership
Pros:
- HEALTHY!
- Save money on fuel and maintenance
- IDK, feel more in touch with the world?
Cons:
- Have to already be in decent shape
- Car drivers hate you on the roads
- Pedestrians hate you on the sidewalk
- Cities won't give you bike lanes
- SWEAT
- Seriously, you're gonna spend all the money you're saving on deodorant because you live in an area that regularly experiences highs of ~40°C during summer 
FreeBSD
FreeBSD Complain #52:
Why in the fucking worlds does ports insist on reinstalling shit from scratch? Like, I have lang/ruby24 installed. WHY IS IT TRYING TO REINSTALL IT FROM SOURCE?! All I wanted to do was compile Vim with the Motif toolkit. Why are you reinstalling ruby from source?
Mental health (neg)
I need to fuckin' let it go. The more rational part of me knows nothing was meant by it. But gods fucking damn it. It's so damn hard when all I can do is keep coming back to it.
Mental health (neg), self-harm mention
"The worst they can do is say no"
Ain't that a crock of shit. Oh, yeah, sure, they'll only say no. But no fucking hurts. I'd compare it to a punch to the gut, but I've punched myself there enough to be able to tell you what I'd fuckin' prefer, and guess what? It ain't being told no.
Mental health (neg)
Man, rejection sensitivity is a fucking *bitch*. Someone fucking end me now.

quit worrying about if AI is going to be creating new consciousness
start worrying about AI learning how to enforce things like redlining and the glass ceiling
worry about it because *it's happening now*.

basically if people would just carve off 5% of the sci-fi panic and anxiety and spend that energy being legitimately concerned about how if you tell a computer "learn the rules of this game", the rules it will come back to report to you will be dripping with systemic inequality that must be directly confronted instead of excused or praised as infallible because "a passionless computer did it"
we'd all be much better off

WHAT PEOPLE THINK ETHICAL ISSUES IN AI ARE: wow.... we're creating... new life........
WHAT ETHICAL ISSUES IN AI ACTUALLY ARE: techbros worshiping the almighty algorithm, not caring to look at what bad patterns the machines are picking up (racism, sexism, etc) and how to avert them, and overreliance on neural networks meaning that said algorithms are treated as magical black boxes where nobody wants to (or can, really) point out exactly how the equation works (and why it may be faulty)
Grumbling about Aces (+)
Fucking asexuals, makin' me want garlic bread. Ugh.
It's all your faults that I made two loaves of french bread and am currently turning one into garlic bread, r/aaaaaaacccccccce. I hope you're happy with yourselves.
