Ambushed by foul invention!

The human mind - fragile like a robin's egg.

The mind cannot hope to withstand such an assault.

Behold, the abyss is made manifest!

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair.

Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

Elusive, evasive, persistent. Righteous traits for a rogue.

DEEPLY fucking stressful experience at work today

Okay so most of our tanks in broodstock contain at least two fish, one male and one female clown (obviously, we’re a fish breeding facility) so I was Quite Alarmed when I noticed that one of the tanks only contained a single fish. The male was missing.

I start checking around on the floor, assuming he somehow jumped out. He’s not there. I look in adjacent tanks because maybe he somehow hopped into one of them. He’s not there. Finally my flashlight passed over the drain in the floor and I noticed movement.

Holy shit, he jumped out of the tank and went down the drain.

Now, this is not an ideal place for a fish to be. The drains are full of wastewater. It’s where we put the siphon hoses when we’re cleaning the tanks, and it’s only wide enough for a siphon hose. Definitely way too narrow to fit a net or a hand down there. Not to mention, it’s gross stagnant water and the fish could very easily suffocate.

I told my manager and he just looked at me and went “he’s dead.”

But, because we’re crazy fish people, we’re still not going to give up. My manager makes a net on a stick that’s small enough to fit down the drain. Spends a solid 10-15 minutes trying to catch him, but the fish eventually sinks into the murk and disappears from sight. We flushed clean water into the drain to add oxygen and hopefully revive him enough to swim back up, but there’s no sign of him. At this point we’re all thinking he’s probably dead.

But, crazy fish people that we are, we’re going to try one last thing. We get a Big Siphon. And we fucking slurp him out.

And lo and behold, the boy lives!!! And he’s still got enough zest to start flopping around on the floor!

Currently he is recovering in an isolation bucket and we’re monitoring him for any problems, but he honestly seems perfectly fine to me. He’s swimming around and even started begging for food when I checked on him.

But holy shit I’m still Stressed from this

A setback, but not the end of things!

Driving out corruption is an endless battle, but one that must be fought.
