exhausting week but got called pretty by two friends and that sure tips the scales

@bstract_thot Words are hard unless they're easy

mutuals reply to this and i will vibe check you maybe (the words or pictures might not come for everyone so you have to promise to be chill if i skip you)

@LighthavenPR lighthaven (stolen from r/electroBOOM):

@LighthavenPR there is certainly an electrician meme about this

i don't understand why people keep doing this! please stop removing the tape on the breakers! it stops them from flipping! when they flip the electricity stops working!

that feels a bit strong, but my manager did a fiat merge so that we can have nice things immediately instead of waiting for me to log on and clean click a button we can have nice things

stayed late at work Friday for a bit of documentation cleanup that chattyG called "tactical spite" love the coinage, a lot of my best work comes from a deep rooted ?contempt? for what could be better

@selflathing same on this coast

craving for the gentle hum of conversation, massage trade, and lounging on a shaded patio, listening to birds

@getjonwithit I was in the mental move of dismissing this thread (for verbosity ironically), but tying verbosity to error correction pulls on a rich little internal thread

...betrayed the horrifying extent of our own verbosity. Part of that verbosity doubtless arises from the limitations of our formal representation languages (such as programming languages). But part of it also seems inherent, likely as a means of human error-correction. (4/12)

I think one of the conclusions we should draw from the tremendous success of LLMs is how much of human knowledge and society exists at very low levels of Kolmogorov complexity. We are entering an era where the minimal representation of a human cultural artifact... (1/12)

@dundereloise @ouranometrian2 i…thought i understood butt cheek anatomy but now i’m wondering if some butts are different?? my butt goes together when i stand up?? i am stressed out that i feel like i have to explain this right now. what are standing up ppl doing??

Do you wipe your butt standing up or sitting down?

@aarondfrancis ls shows how many balls are in the air, I can run tests against coworkers branches without blocking my own flow, and it's easier to do file compare reconsidering though since even git reflog loses power when you remove a worktree

Why do people like git worktrees over discrete checkouts? (This isn't bait, it's research)

@isosteph gotta stock up on sunshine and fresh air before fire season I do miss good consistent snowpack though

got a kurukulla statue in the mail addressed to a witch shaman I have located on instagram who is not our neighbor, mildly wrathful yidam of love and magnetization I REALLY want to open this package but uh, a little unversed in the magical implications

@selflathing thank you and thank you for the prompt, it's clearly good at bringing up unprocessed material 😅

@selflathing mostly too many other people with their own charge. I've definitely triggered a weird three way fight with a friend defending me from his girlfriend by unpacking similar feelings in that sort of container

@selflathing also went to an event once where they literally quoted wikipedia and I get that they were passing through but if you have no connection to the land or the "real people" then what are we doing?

@selflathing yeah, there's compassion too and curiosity but it's tangled up and I want to move already and the containers in which land acknowledgements are happening don't feel like safe places to unpack any of it
