they said we'd hear back about whether we got the job "early next week" and it's already 4:30 on tuesday.... getting that "thing is supposed to happen very soon but you don't know when" stress now
...also @connie's stream was supposed to start half an hour ago and we haven't heard from them at all so we're worried about them too now even though it's probably nothing
-F
@connie Is there going to be a stream today? I haven't seen anything about it and you usually post something in advance.

terrible idea: play mario 64 but every time you enter a level immediately lock the camera and leave it there

remember to drink plenty of genderfluids if you're ever feeling dehydrated (i.e. feeling unfortunately single-headed)

Well, we just slept for over twelve hours. How is your morning?

if singleton is a word, why isn't doubleton? or tripleton?

idea for an obscure joke i don't have the spoons to make
"Fun fact:"

as noted in the aside there though, Sony's collaborative formats seem to do well for themselves pretty reliably. The CD-DA (aka audio CD), CD-ROM, and CD-R were unmitigated successes, the DVD and DVD-ROM were similarly massive successes
-F
Historically, Sony's major solo formats seem to have alternated successful and failure--Umatic was a success, at least in the market it was intended for, then beta was a failure, then 3.5" floppy disks were a huge success, then memory stick flopped horribly, then blu-ray managed to somehow beat out hd-dvd
(Sony was involved with the creation of the CD and DVD formats but i'm not counting them because sony didn't do them alone, Philips and Panasonic did a lot of the engineering and marketing)

why was sony so insistent on referring to the memory cards as specifically "Memory Card (8 MB) (For Playstation™ 2)"

We went out to the middle of nowhere to try to see the comet. We either succeeded in seeing it, very faintly, or we had a smudge on our binoculars' lenses.
I'm not sure which, honestly. The viewing conditions around here are not great; lots of forest in the way and a fair bit of light pollution.

why do we parse most standard smileys as really passive-aggressive and condescending
thi sis almost never what they are used to mean

"What is a man? A mis--"
"A featherless biped, Dracula, we've been over this."
"Why did one of my zombies have to be Diogenes? Richter, look, would you just kill this zombie for me and then we can get down to business?"

We see a lot of UFOs, but it's not that there are lots of aliens visiting, we're just really bad at identifying birds

you ever just think about rhombic dodecahedra

Thoughts on dealing with crises
And the thing you tell everyone is that it's okay for them all to have their own emotional reactions to how this will affect them—that's normal and healthy, and it's not "selfish"
But
When you need emotional support, generally speaking, you should lean on the people who are in a circle that's further from the centre of the crisis, not one that's closer
And I feel like this sort of philosophy can be applied to other kinds of crises as well

Thoughts on dealing with crises
One of the things they taught me in school was how to counsel people to provide emotional support to each other during medical crises
Imagine a series of concentric circles; the people who are most affected by the crisis are at the centre—say it's a person who just found out they have cancer
Their partner might be next "closest," their immediate family or very close friends next, but of course who is "next" in being close to this person will vary
shark is friend
