It’s nice that I can turn off my posting brain by just not taking my adhd meds

Too unfocused without them to actually finish a thought.

I love redefining a word to be only bad valued and feel superior to people who identify with the word without a value judgement. Many cases.
Tourists are an interesting group in that they consistently deny what we all know they are. I can’t think of anything that screams tourist more than reducing each experience down to charm bracelet size and wearing it around. If tourism is your thing, just embrace it!

I imagine people are going to complain about Zendaya in The Odyssey even though it’s inevitably going to be the standard bad female character in a Nolan movie.

spend 5 hours trying to make something work the “right way” to no avail, only to use my jury-rigged method which gets it working in 15 minutes

wonder if “Dems” are related to that Greek thing where power is vested in people (plural)

I hate opening tickets with helpdesk.

I used to do sysadmin-ish work, actually read IT’s troubleshooting guides, and use some finicky applications.

I know I’m the one that always submits weird incidents that just hang on your board for weeks.

Jack also turned down Cheney’s offer to be king of Iraq.

We unfortunately don’t know when the offer was made but I like to imagine it was after the gay bomb since Jack seems like a caring lover.

>a “Bible-based AI buddy who's always got your back with wise words, scripture-inspired guidance…”

that’s what the Bible is for

> “… and a listening ear whenever you need it”

that’s what prayer is for

blatant heresy, we need an inquisition

someone made a data model with 7 fact tables and 7 dimension tables

I don’t understand who thought this was a good idea

i find myself getting really annoyed with the increased usage of “working class” in sense of anyone getting wage labor as though that’s *the* definition

in the US it’s a been a term for blue-collar/low-wage and it’s not really useful to describe me, a surgeon, and a Walmart worker as the same class
at this point I would actually trust someone who confesses, openly, that they are middle class way more than anyone who professes to be working class

annoying things with Windows 11

Used to be able to click the taskbar clock on any screen and get a calendar pop-up. Now you can only do this on the primary screen.

we’re a direct to consumer company cutting out the middleman to save you money

*cost of the middleman’s supply chain, physical store, and sales services will need to be shifted to producer without middleman’s economies of scale. price is higher.
