religion / politics, complaint 

jesus, in like 30AD probably: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"

some dipshit, in 2019: "anyways i think what this all means is our nation should be built on christianity"

Learning about C hacks and realizing the extent of the effort put into making Swift...not be like that.

Food, gross 

All the human characters in Pokemon are named after food.

Brock is named after broccoli.

Misty is named after Seira Mist.

And Ash is named after delicious charcoal ash.

I have studied what memory heaps are multiple times, and I still forget what the heck they are every time I see one

Alphys knows a lot about computers. I guess that makes her a "monitor lizard!"

...Apologies.

Looking up educational videos on network security.

Youtube: Do you want some FUD from rightwing wingnuts???

Hrt 

I went off hormones because my life got too busy to keep up with constantly getting re-prescribed T every month at my fuckass janky clinic.

Now I'm back on and experiencing the rare puberty number 3.

Using Wikipedia markups in fediverse posts is considered[by whom?] to be extremely poor form[weasel words] due to the platform's generally poor handling of rich text[citation needed].

You know, I just went to check if the article/link I am subtooting about is ACTUALLY trending on HackerNews, and it's not...

Admittedly, "The Poorest 20% of Americans Are Richer on Average Than Most Nations of Europe" might have been moderated off in the 49 minutes it took me to look, assuming HN has any moderation.

The Addams family was created when Americans in the late 50s were like, "You know what would be really creepy? Two ambigiously ethnic, maybe even foreign people, married, with children, living happily in a healthy BDSM relationship. And they have a lot of money! And their family not only accepts them...but being creepy is their whole thing!."

HackerNews bot like innocuous techie bullshit, innocuous techie bullshit, link to site presenting propaganda about poverty in the United States completely unrelated to technology news, innocuous techie bullshit...

And Space is, and remains, the idealised Suburb Where Things Are Run Properly that rich white professionals still dream of flying to and abandoning Earth And All Its Unsolveble Problems (Because It Has All Those Other People In It).

Blade Runner (1982) is set in a future Los Angeles in which both of the following are true:

1. Earth is deserted and empty and crumbling because all the best people in the world have run away to the stars and only the dregs are left

2. Earth is also a massively overpopulated and polluted cosmopolitan melting pot of many cultures

If we could grasp the (white upper middle class) worldview which feared both these dystopias simultaneously, we'd probably understand a lot of things about the 1980s.
