Ton of people here in my town protesting today. I wasn’t able to attend but made sure to drive past a few crowds while blasting Hind’s Hall and honking in support while throwing my fist up to folks. Gotta get the revolution amped up.

I don’t drink because I don’t wanna, and I don’t leave the house often because everything is too expensive. Home is nice and I have everything I need here. I’m basically a mid-40s zoomer I guess.

[…] who he said were unhappy with the tariffs that he had imposed on imports from the country.

Shocking. Gee I wonder why they are unwilling to work with him…

I’ve been playing it on the Deck for the past couple weeks and it runs really well. I think the only thing I changed was UI text size (made it larger). It will hit some slight FPS drops in places, but it’s a manageable dip and doesn’t affect gameplay.

I live in the southeast of the US. Winter is my favorite and summer is miserable. Even spring might as well be summer here. I miss the snow from my childhood in the northeast.

I wfh and do this every day. No regrets.

I have salty watermelon Promix packs that I’ll mix into water when needed. They’re primarily for my workouts, but they’re great for getting you hydrated quickly when drinking.

I’m in my 40s and haven’t drank anything in over a month at this point. I never really drank heavily, but I hate how it makes me feel in general. I also looked around at the men my age and they all have dad bod with the gut. In the words of Radiohead: I’m “fitter, happier, more productive.”

I love the noises it makes ❤️

It came out not super long ago (2023) but Jusant has been a lot of fun and chill.

The fact that this is considered a viable option because we live in a country with a government that refuses to actually provide for its people, is painfully depressing. AI as your therapist… seriously what the fuck is this timeline? I work in tech and the people constantly blowing AI hot air are not folks you want in charge of the tools for your therapy and wellbeing.

Train yourself to use the AI only for doing grunt work. I used it yesterday to split 1 cypress test into 3 separate ones for example. I force myself to solve the problems and don’t lean too heavily on AI (it doesn’t increase output anyway in my experience). Copilot gets tons of shit wrong that I end up having to manually write.

I wish we could trade this dimwitted fuck for Val Kilmer.

That’s how it should’ve been, even if for nothing other than the symbolism. She doesn’t support Palestine, but no one they prop up ever will. Best we can do is keep applying pressure. We also need to run on the assumption that federal elections are a joke in the US at this point, and the Democrats aren’t going to do anything outside of upholding the status quo. Regardless, abstaining is pointless and multiple things can be true at once.

I use it specifically for communists and socialists that lean too much on figures and less so on ideas. Specifically figures that use authoritarianism to achieve their position. No matter how you paint things, I will never agree with the idea of work/re-education camps. If you can look at that and be okay with it, I’m curious what mental gymnastics were required to get there.

For the record, I’m a socialist but I look forward not backwards. We can achieve these things without having to use authoritarian tactics.

I think you misunderstand where my “who cares” comment comes from. I care about the actual outcome (which is currently terrible as everyone predicted). I just think it’s a pointless thing to fight about. I don’t care about “both sides bad” crap. I care about what we’re going to do now that a fascist is here, and planning ahead for the worst.

The whole thing leading up to the election where people argued over who was worse was tiresome and divisive of people that should be aligned. Conservatives still voting for Trump are a lost cause but leftists have common ground and shouldn’t be wasting their time arguing over something that ultimately leads nowhere. They should be preparing for the worst case scenario as a unified front.

I dislike Harris but nobody gains anything of value arguing over who they think will be worse. It’s the most pointless argument made up just so entitled folks living in a hyper-individualized society can feel like they’re correct.

I can tell you one thing though: Harris didn’t have a Project 2025 teed up and ready to go. But also who fucking cares? We’re now all stuck in this boat so let’s quit the leftist infighting and pissing contest. They all benefit from the same thing and they’re all the enemy of the working class. That’s the only knowledge we need.

Edit: seems people misunderstand my tone. The point is stop arguing over candidates in a country that has been in tailspin for years. Talk ideas, not people. We knew we were gonna get stuck with a Project 2025 eventually. That means Hexbear folks should stop coming out of the woodwork when someone mentions Harris, and people still favoring Harris are doing no one any favors. She lost and she wasn’t going to save anyone. And I shouldn’t even have to state how massive a piece of shit Trump is. Let’s move on from this childish bullshit already. They’re both trash (although maybe I should clarify whom I think sucks more so that I don’t get attacked by leftists that don’t understand how revolutionary discipline works).

Yeah, this. They need this to be completely test-driven. Build a foundation and build out/finalize in pieces. If they had an actual dev team that knew what they were doing, someone would set them straight. They also need a ton of time to gain an understanding of what every part of the existing codebase is doing.

I’ve been a programmer for around 20 years now and I can tell you with 100% confidence that this is going to be an absolute fucking disaster. I’ve built project features—not even full projects—that took months. Hell, we launch one on Monday. This would realistically take years, and after seeing how garbage the DOGE site was built, I have zero confidence in the incel team Elon scraped off his Steam friends list.

Best advice I can give is delete all of your US-based social media. I did and I regret nothing.
