A friend of mine at least once ordered delivery from the Mexican place that was directly below her apartment. She said the delivery guy was a little confused. She had a lot of depression at the time.

Oh that reminds me of when I was like 4, one of the neighborhood kids convinced a bunch of the other kids to eat some of those cicada exoskeletons they leave on trees. I did not, but I'm pretty sure some of the other kids did.

Capitalism is incompatible with democracy. Fuck these ghouls.

I'd like to see more spaces converted into like "15 minute loading/unloading". There's a lot of double parking that's just people trying to do something quick.

I think it was on coney Island avenue the other day that the whole right lane was taken up by people double parking. That's absurd. Not sure why so many people needed to drive someplace so close to several subways and bus stops, but there's a lot of ways to discourage that space.

Conservatives don't say things because they're true. They say things because they think it will get them what they want.

It's hard for me to justify buying anything since my job is so crap. I have the money, I just feel spiteful and angry at capitalism.

Tim Sweeney should go away and never come back.

Isaac is fantastic. With all the expansions, it's hundreds of hours of goodness.

Grim Dawn didn't really click with me. None of the classes I tried felt good, and the constellations stuff is hard to work with. There's a lot of options scattered around, and I feel like I have to read and dozens of things to plan out a coherent build. Or use a guide, which is un-fun.

Path of Exile 2 is my current arpg

as should anyone living in the area while demanding lower taxes.

If conservatives had shame about reasonable things, a lot of problems would go away.

Leadership are mostly idiots. They don't know how work gets done. They think like "wow it produced so many lines of code!" and don't know that's not a useful metric.

My job had Microsoft do a four hour copilot demo for the entire team last week. (Surely an immense expense. They won't pay for most people to be full time with benefits). The guy used copilot to make a regex to parse html. A little surprised zalgo didn't show up.

I forgot how much I hated working in an office. Our desks were directly under the vent, so we'd get blasted with cold air. Sales was off in a corner, where it was too warm for them. No amount of adjusting the thermostat would change their local temperature, but they'd try anyway.

In addition to being climate criminals who should all be stripped of their nice things, people who mandate in-office are often causing personal, physical, suffering.
