brain: no you're too tired
me: hey I kinda stayed up a bit late so I'm thinking I should sleep til 11

me: but if I'm in bed, could I just sleep?

brain: no you're gonna lie there, losing at Balatro

distributed systems in theory: we run our code across several networked machines so that a failure of one doesn’t break the system as a whole

distributed systems in practice, apparently: hey it’s probably fine to put all our eggs in the us-east-1 basket right?

I just wanna make a smoothie, why does my blender always have a featureless grey cube in it
Yeah I'm really glad I have Rain for mutual appreciation of each others awesomeness
I can recommend meeting local queers and online mutuals irl. The straights aren't good at seeing how hot we are unless we conform, and that makes me feel ugly, but hanging out with queers fixes it because they see how hot I am.
