also characters don't really need to be deep in fiction, they just have to serve the narrative. the Joker can absolutely be compelling as a random crisis generator for hypermethodical batman

I don't think the joker should ever present coherent reasons for what he does. he shouldn't have a traumatic past or any past at all. I dont think he should strictly even be intentionally criminal. I think the joker should just be someone who continually does things with no clear connective logic or purpose

doom eternal spoilers, politic 

i really appreciate the narrative thread where authority and those subservient to it both excuse industrialised genocide and blame the Doom Guy for it, despite the fact he is trying to stop it, and him trying to stop it has no effect on whether they do it, and they could just not do it.
It's like how in real life when you point out that a politician is murdering people for no reason and a bunch of scum come out the woodowork to tell you well maybe you shouldn't have been so rude to Oldmoney J. Turbohitler it's not his fault that he had to kill all those natives in order to poison their sacred land sucking some inefficient fuel out from under it with a massive dangerous machine

on one hand I'm glad for fairly standardised computers with similar layouts from the RPI0 up to weird carbon fibre water cooler computo-pyramid from alienware
but on the other hand im gonna miss weird architecturally unique machines

I think I can get a lot out of just an "interact" primitive

as a non-american, theres a lot of things in The Simpsons which i thought were surreal jokes, but turned out to actually be real and normal in america

PSA: last night one of our pyrex cooking dishes exploded.

not fractured, exploded. “pyrex isn’t supposed to do that” we thought.

as of a few years ago, Pyrex sold their brand, the new company changed glass recipe as a cost cutting measure, resulting in a pandemic of exploding cookware and a class action lawsuit.

thankfully the patent has expired and the keyword to look for in competing glass cookware products is “borosilicate glass”

I remember when I joined flagship and it was literally just Josef and 3 or 4 other people including garg
it was wild watching this platform happen

my android phone: "im connected to wifi. here's your 70mb/s"
every windows machine in the house: "what is this "why phi"? by what method is the net ethere'd? why would I "connect" to this "interconnected-network". Ok, fine. I'll fulfil your foul request. but only at .7kb/s"

vent, employment 

too qualified for menial jobs, too "unqualified" for skilled jobs (no £36000 printout proclaiming my ability to do thing I plainly can do) Interacting with people fills me with such terror that I can't even maintain a facade of normality. the 2 jobs I did get were plainly scams in retrospect, which despite being at my expense look pretty bad on a CV. plus I'm trans.
I intend to live into my 30s but I dont know how that's going to be possible

I need money to survive, it would be neat if someone paid me to make some images
