I have had this very conversation myself, many times.

It's remarkably similar to talking to economists about growth and thermodynamics.

I had a conversation with a bridge engineer one evening not long ago. I said, “Bridges, they are nice, and vital, but they fall down a lot.”

He looked at me with a well-worn frustration and replied, “Falling down is what bridges do. It’s the fate of all bridges to fall down, if you don’t understand that, you don’t understand bridges.”

you're all posting faster than I can read...
please slow down for the slow lizard...

when my family had an XP computer, I installed a hack onto it that allowed me to set a universal password, so I could access anyone's account

it's interesting that if you look at someone's profile on mastodon, they look way less active than they would on bird site, but it's because they're actually interacting with each other!

since being on here, birdsite feels really impersonal...

ah heck, I was in the middle of a long post, then replied to someone and lost the post...

it's midnight and my mind is dying, so I'm gonna go to bed...

good night everyone!

(and especially good night to you. yes, you.)

My firefox is now purple while loading a webpage, which is simultaneously comforting and disconcerting

Ok, so I did this so I could change the colour of the notifications - but instead what hapenned was that the default blank colour of firefox changed, and the notifications didn't change at all

I'm so confused...
