The most frustrating thing about building software is the feeling that I'm building sand castles that will eventually get wiped away. It takes a staggering amount of effort *just to keep software running exactly the same as before*. Not to add improvements! Not to fix bugs! Just to keep it working exactly the same as it once did. It's maddening if you want to have a sense of personal pride at something you built years ago. Your "legacy" is nonexistent, unless you stay on the treadmill.

unpopular opinion: i think those wonky robo dogs with their funny spindly legs are adorable.

lukewarm opinion: they just need to be freed from the clutches of the police and military because they would be so much better utelized as helpers for the disabled.

Gross butt stuff 

Today is one of those days that started out with me wishing I could poop, then quickly turned to me wishing I could stop pooping.

Shout-out to my colon for making the 15 feet between my desk and my toilet an impossibly long marathon.

@anthracite I tried LastPass but I really dislike its UX. I used to use 1Password (which does support notes/security questions) but then it went subscription and got expensive. These days I use Firefox Lockwise because it works everywhere I need it to, but the downside is no notes field.

@anthracite I really should use those “wish it were two-factor” questions as places to add additional random passwords but keeping those in password managers is so difficult :/

iRobot claims to care about robots, but yet they wouldn't let their own products register for support. Hypocrites.

Nothing like playing DDR while high as fuck on a gigantic TV that fills my entire field of view and earning my first S+ ever

re: death and decomposition 

@metapianycist Yeah the traditional cotton shroud is basically that.

@metapianycist yeah I have no idea about the actual chemistry involved. I mean really the best burial is a natural one in like a cotton shroud or the traditional Jewish plain wooden coffin with no nails or liner

Nihilism is easy when you realize there’s nothing involved

@zorinlynx yeah right now I think the only thing I'm watching on Netflix is Pokémon. I was planning on canceling my subscription after She-Ra ended and I might just have to follow through on that.
