@Mycroft It's like a really big SD card.
So we were playing Mr. Card Game, the Kingdom of Loathing card game last night thanks to @Soreth bringing it over, and it made me want to try the original game again for the first time in like 15 years.
I just became a bugbear plush. I think I can consider that a win condition. :D
venting about depression & suicide
Fuck depression.
Fuck depression for ruining the lives of wonderful people in times of stress.
Fuck depression for leaving scars both mental and physical on so many.
Fuck depression for taking the lives of so many good people before their time.
But most of all? Fuck society for viewing depression as laziness.
For seeing suicide as intentionally selfish.
For voicing thousands of reasons to hate the depressed and berating those who love and care for them.
Observation about Mastodon vs Birdsite
I love that on Mastodon, despite having half the follower count, I'm 10 times more active here than I ever was on Twitter because on the whole, people here seem to care more about community and conversation than they do about self promotion.
I have conversations with people on Mastodon, but if I wanted to talk to my friends on Twitter, it involved asking them for alternate contact info.
oh no: work, marketing, capitalism
I have been included on an email thread in which a marketing manager is repeatedly requesting last minute changes to a web form someone else is creating.
Every last minute feature request reads like a half drunken stranger leaning in to suggest terrible ideas, just with a bit more eloquence -- and includes buzzwords like whoa

i stumble backwards, shielding my eyes from the warm radiance of the takes, hollering "it was only a rhetorical question, it was rhetorical, have mercy"
Reddit link, net neutrality
This is pretty damming tbqh
I was just asked: "Would you sell your pants for otter paws?"
I replied (because what else could I say): "Hell yes! I'd just wear skirts instead!"

Ficlet
They don't know they are all crazy. All 7 billion of them. Every Terran possesses a complex organic computer suspended in fluid and enclosed in [calcium]. It is literally so complex that it doesn't shut off when they [sleep]. And every one is structurally incapable of distinguishing fantasy from reality.
That is what makes them so powerful. They can look at the universe in all of its totally and just… dismiss it. Dream a new one to take its place, and be so convinced, they make it real.
I am unreasonably proud of this.

Thank you @typhlosion for the idea and for running with it :D
work, coding
There are 3 types of release ready
1) It works well, is efficient, passes rigorous QA and is ready for production
2) It works and you're proud enough of your implementation to offer to share it with other coders
3) Other coders have expressed interest in using your code and thus it must be rewritten from the ground up to be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
Dragony plush thing! Friendly, non-binary, anarcho-syndicalist, ace.
