I'm having this carved on my tombstone.

10 years ago, Microsoft was designing and selling some of the most exciting laptops and tablet PCs on the market and making an absolute feast of Apple's lunch.

Hell yeah!

You know, I feel like a goblin every time I cook pasta in my rice cooker, but I never feel guilty

If you're a shimmer ink enjoyer but having trouble getting the shimmer ink out of your fountain pens afterwards, I've been having a lot of good results with Monteverde ITF ink pulling stubborn shimmer out of your pen as you write. I'd show you my shimmer writing but my camera isn't picking it up

Lead damages brains in a way that allows Hitler particles to take root. This is why GenX are the way they are. But my brain is full of microplatics, which creates a waterproof coating and the particles just roll like water off a duck

Oh good, PHP discourse is back.

You know how cats sometimes will get up in your face and inspect your ear very closely and go SNURFFLE SNURFFLE SNUFFLE SNUFF PRRRR right into your ear hole? Why is that the absolute best?

There is still a nonzero chance that You Can See Everything is just the most epic Nathan Fielder psyop ever, right? Because otherwise that guy made the best documentary ever. THAT GUY.

One of the trickiest things about genuine positive uses for AI, is that it too easily becomes (or likely is interpreted as) positivity about a truly malicious industry that hijacked the term. Similar to smart glasses and blind accessibility, which has been completely tainted by Meta's execution.

Just watch just suggested that if I liked Cabin In The Woods, I should also watch Cannibal Holocaust and I Spit On Your Grave. This is a bad suggestion.

I read A Wrinkle in Time for the first time last night since I was a child, and I think the biggest shock was how it's clearly the story of a girl with ADHD, her weird little autistic brother, her surprise high-masking himbo boyfriend, her neurodivergent parents, and two surprise normal siblings.

I've been cramming frontend systems design interview stuff and honestly all it's doing is reminding me of all the stuff I genuinely loathe about web development that I wilfully forgot. Like I nearly cried when the subject of SSR vs SSG in NUXT/NEXT text-heavy marketing sites and implications on SEO

I really can't recommend going back in time and giving up on the mcu circa iron Man 3 highly enough, I have saved SO much time and money

Void. Slan. Ubik. ... CONRAD??! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME CONRAD

"I'm a Mac! And I'm a PC" guys working together again are a recession indicator.

So I've been reading Berserk and I gotta say, one thing I didn't expect was for it to move fairly quickly? 11 volumes and we're already at the day before the eclipse?

Unpopular opinion: your cheap jinhao is not a hidden gem, it writes like a cheap-ass fountain pen. At best it's an improvement over pre-twsbi Chinese garbage. And I'm pretty sure that one guy on YouTube is being paid to create Chinese stationery propaganda.

Are you around Metro PDX and looking for hourly work? Specifically, doing material handing/fulfillment/shipping work for a marketing agency. Small business, fast paced, white glove service and opportunities for growth. Not your thing? Ok! Pass it on tho! www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/44...

And another thing: if you're looking to expand your gender-inclusive menstrual product line, consider pads with wings compatible with underwear with a gusset more than 2 inches wide

Kids these days really don't comprehend just how breasty the 1980s were

So I'm putting together some job interviews and on the dock are An Incredible Opportunity, A Place With Unreasonably Good Benefits, and Clearly A Very Regular Job. Boring and stable sounds pretty good rn, but the last time I did that we got invaded by the French and I got laid off in technicolor.

You'd think so. You'd really fucking think so.

Why does this man have pockets?

Ok, the idea that "they're trying to manufacture consent around Harry Potter" sounded a little conspiratorial until

Oh, and just to be crystal clear so that there is no confusion on the matter in any way I am entirely a glitter pen girlie I don't choose to dot my i's with little hearts but if you say one cross word about glitter i-hearts to my glitter pen siblings I will end you

ADHD&D Look I know it's not original but I still think it's funny

Building an accessibility anti-example and looking for ideas so I'm just casually scrolling through @aardrian.bsky.social to see what's annoyed him over the past year

An extremely short thread.

GOD I have so much time for crafts and exercising when I'm off work, truly a bummer that I am not financially prepared to retire at 35
