AU naming conventions coming from bang paths makes so much sense it's weird I'm only figuring it out now

I was exactly the right age at exactly the right transitional period in history to have been an unsupervised preteen on dial-up BBSes, Usenet, IRC, and first-generation web forums, more or less in that order, so all things considered I think I'm doing pretty well.

I’ve never had a reheading go this horribly before. I’d say I’m pretty good at beheading- I may have broken a neck once or twice, but never any parts I actually liked or intended on keeping, and usually a reheading is the easiest thing, right? Just a little squish and a pop and done, a complete person. But this time it just- it just won’t go back on the body?? Which is incredibly frustrating but also, like, why??

And the funniest thing is, I’m not even swapping a head!! This is a curvy dancer head going onto a curvy dancer body!! They match!! This should have been so simple!! But no, this head’s just flopping around like a limp flaccid idiot and my hands are all red and sore now but the head just isn’t attaching all the way!!

Today I did six beheadings and two other reheadings, and I wanted to get this one attached so I could take a picture, but somehow it just isn’t working!! The head is just getting squished around but isn’t stretching over the neck right!! And I’m way too lazy to go and boil the head just to make the slip easier!! And I don’t wanna keep forcing it cuz I might break something but this is!! So frustrating!!

Like, what could I possibly be doing wrong!! Fuck!!

-_- apparently the cut-off for this thing I want to submit to (which closes tomorrow) is 70k words, and I’ve got 67k

I need to think of three thousand words of bullshit to pad this thing. like a chapter where everyone goes for coffee, or something.

here’s a take straight from the freezer, if we want new users to come to Linux, we should probably a hold on the rust kernel shenanigans. Most people don’t even know what a “C” is, how will they understand why a “multi-language codebase” will make the “kernel” hard to work in?

my sibling in computing you vastly overestimate how many regular people ever even hear about kernel devel discourse, let alone give a shit

«I htink this quote written in the context of a specific religion by someone who practices that specific religion makes no sense if you ignore every base assumption of that specific religion and adopt a worldview radically incompatible with it. I am very smart.»

Sometimes you're not part of a debate and thus your opinion on the arguments used in that debate doesn't matter.

that quote like “god gave us transness for the same reason he made grapes but not wine; yeast but no loaves — so we may partake in the divine act of creation”

As someone who, right now, is the unemployed friend: agreed 100%. There's so much stuff to /do/ in life that you're forced to treat as secondary when you have to spend 8 hours a day working.

I actually do feel like the "unemployed friend on a Tuesday" meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don't have a job you're more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there's a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

Oppenheimer (2023) is a good film but I also want to tear Christopher Nolan’s eyelids off for filming the sex scene that has apparently caused half of Gen Z to believe that sex scenes should be banned from movies because “I watched it with my mom and it was awkward :(“

i feel like we don't appreciate these days how much the twin towers sucked, like, design-wise

they were contemporarily hated for just being these giant grey monoliths

like there probably could've been an easier way to get rid of them, but they probably needed to go either way

I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff
