seeing some really weird routing failures.

I tried for many years to force myself to be comfortable with my body.

It didn't work, The only thing that worked was accepting i wasn't comfortable with my body at the time and trying to move forward and change it so I was.

you don't have to be comfortable with your body.

It doesn't matter what form of art or engineering you do.

remember your ethical obligations to the world before you publish anything.

macOS / Homebrew users.

here is a relatively alright script i'm using to gather up orphaned packages from all the crap i've installed from homebrew. It's likely got some bugs, and it could certainly be improved in so many ways but I've just about had enough of it and it reclaimed me another couple gigs on top of the gig i gained from brew cleanup.

so i had a kinda dumb idea.

A code jam but, all software for self care/accessability/etc.

write that feature you've always wanted to for apps, make an app to help remind you to take your meds, etc.

anyone else interested?

don't get me wrong, i understand why people use them, especially poor people. but we end up spending more and getting less from it.

and they just in general, suck poor people's money out of their pockets and rarely empower people.

every single thing about a dollar store is designed to ensure that they get as much money as possible out of everything. They become a dumping ground for products that are... just not great.

not even the office supplies are usually worth it, you get less dollar for dollar so you're going to spend more if you need it a lot [like paper]

dollar stores aren't cheap. Dollar stores aren't good.

Yes, as a poor person on SSI i use them all the time, but the truth is they are in general harmful to communities and people.

how are they harmful: they displace, replace, and take from Grocery, often in Food Deserts. They sell you cheap, unhealthy, heavily processed food. They trick you into thinking your getting a good deal when you're not, ...

KILL ALL DOLLAR STORES

( echo "# Contributors" ; git log | grep "Author" | sort | uniq -i | while read r ; do printf "* %s\n" "${r/Author: /}" ; done ) > CONTRIBUTORS.md

A quick way to kind of do this. although it will miss users who have used different names or emails and it doesn't COMPLETELY spit out good stuff for markdown

I did end up creating these issues. If you agree with me it'd be great if you could comment and agree.
