Big big thanks to my mother for harassing me on social media the minute she heard I was doing well.
Any time I get a peek at the infrastructure of something, it's all kludges and duct tape, it's really a wonder anything works at all.
I was a vote tally worker for the Associated Press once, do you know they do all that shit by having people call in the results from the polls? Clerks type in the numbers by hand. It's not automated in the least.

if your theory of how learned gender roles or innate preferences or w/e is why there're fewer women programmers than men doesn't explain why there used to be *more* women then men doing programming -- why software used to be "women's work" -- your theory is wrong.

did you know: "computer" used to be a *profession,* and it was women's work. The Manhattan Project had rooms full of computers sitting at desks working out the differential equations that nuclear physics needed to work. The computers wore dresses.
Because, somehow, everybody just knew that it was totally okay for girls to do calculus but physics? that was a man's job.

The thing about adult Muppet parodies is, that the Muppets already touch on adult themes, so the best way to approach it would just to play everything very straightfaced and super seriously, instead of going for easy shock humor. Look, we all know Kermit fucks.

We talk about Keanu Reeves not aging, but Will Smith has really barely aged at all.

i would like to take this moment to remind everyone that the HTC Dream, aka T-Mobile G1, aka Google G1, the first consumer Android phone, a real phone made by a real company sold for real money to real customers, had a bug where every keypress on the hardware keyboard was silently forwarded to a root shell

I can't believe my AP English teacher made us read that.
I can't believe I already had a copy because I saw this cover at a thrift store and had to have it
If I had to translate the first line of "The Stranger" for some reason, despite not knowing any French, I would render it as, "Yep, my mommy died lol today or maybe yesterday idk"
Oh, you're not going to tell me about all that boring David Copperfield kind of crap, huh? Gonna cut to the chase, huh? Well, thank you, you oh wait you're actually going to tell me all this other extraneous detail about your day frick damn it
The opening line to "The Catcher in the Rye" is low-key hilarious. Yes, I really do want to hear about it, smartass, that's why I'm reading this book.
@wigglytuffitout That's amazing.
@wigglytuffitout Tbh I had multiple instances of Tumblr trolls screeching at me that I was a superfan of things I either had a mild interest in, or didn't even care about, and most of the times it was completely irrelevant to the conversation anyway.
Especially anime avatars screaming at me that I loved anime too much & wasn't really trans
They could only understand passionate opinions as being something attached to video games and cartoons and things like that. Not, idk, nonfictional things?
