"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

I'm on a spiritual journey to find my own internal IP address, but it keeps being dynamically reassigned

train rant 

hello yes I would like to place a curse upon every train executive so that every time they get into a car they are asked for a ticket and then kicked out, given I'm pretty sure they are never subjected to the awful system they have created to squeeze as much capital out of people who have no choice but to use their shit trains

neurodiversity vent 

sometimes is is just far too clear that the world is designed by neurotypical people for neurotypical people

frustration vent 

aaagh just had to spend £50 out of nowhere because I'm an idiot and lost my train ticket, I do this shit all the fucking time, dyspraxia and public transport is a nightmare combination that has cost me hundreds of pounds I cannot afford and I scream

Disappointing naps are like if edging wasn't fun.

turns out everyone can see the future just by closing their eyes, but you are seeing the future through through your future eyes which are also closed

felt cute might punch a hole in the drywall later

a survey of one mastodon user concluded that 100% of mastodon users think that lynne is the hottest girl ever

I love the term "metaphysics of gender" because it implies that its like this arcane mysticism and trans people are like gender-wizards and knowing a lot about gender theory makes you a wise sage

I'm here to write code and flirt with girls and my code isn't compiling so hey, how're *you* doing? 😉

presenting the hot new adjectives of the season, spice up your conversations with "apewild" and "buckshit"

dyspraxia 

the best part of dyspraxia is after a youtube video just being able to put it right back to the beginning and enjoy it again because you weren't paying attention for most of it and have forgotten the rest
