  2. Dudesl love to not post for weeks at a time and then right as the eye doctor’s dialation drops kick in, get brain foam they have a scrape away immediately while squinting and blinking at their dumb phone in a dark room

  3. Pedantly explaining to the fourth wall that i can get away with it because i’m in the third panel, after the person in the second panel pedantly explaining to the fourth wall why people who say what I said can’t get away with what Zi am getting away with because they are in the only other panel than theirs, the second panel of two

    [flicks the light on] whoa! look at all these cockroaches in here! holy shit this is now how we behave! do better!

    [my friends and I scurrying away, unkillable, but diving for cover anyway] “shut up! shut up! get out! get out! turn the lights back off!”

  4. Feeling matchy-matchy, might lean

    a photo of me leaning, with arms crossed, against an avocado green brick building next to a window protected by decorative cast iron security bars also painted avocado greenI’m wearing a black DOOM LOOP had, a black silk jacket with white silk sleeves that have arm length patches of green double-headed snakes running from wrist to shoulder over a light pink oxford, faded maroon corduroy pants, and black on black suede old school vans

  5. Would honestly prefer to give whoever needs it (this morning, an optometry office) a social security number equivalent and my public-persona handle rather than 1) the name I go by (which happens to be my middle name) and 2) my last name-including-how-to-spell-it, and then 3) disambiguating that from my full legal name, which has a different first name as well as a suffix

    the full ritual as we perform it is too close to a cultural conflict and wildly inefficient. let me give you a guid

  6. My eyes also just kind of slide off of paragraph length posts on this website as I scroll through it but I’ll keep posting that shit anyway I guess

  7. Thanks to discord’s hokey use of a command for command-K, officially “Find or Start a Direct Message" per their docs, I am always constantly narrowly avoiding direct messaging someone I do not know who has the last name of Jerke who I assume also idles in an open source community server I idle in, when I try to switch to the chat I made for talking about anything but games on my friend’s gaming-oriented community server which they immediately renamed and locked to #jerk_factory for me

  8. 18th book of 2024: “Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore”, by Robin Sloan ( https://www.robinsloan.com/books/penumbra/).

    Fun, light, very quick read. Very weird to read something so connected to ~2012-techie-San-Francisco (I was here by then) and get 100% of the references (and roll my eyes at a few w/ 12 years of hindsight).

    The paperback cover “Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore”, by Robin Sloan, as I read it. Nine rows of yellow blocks stamped alternating between four or five stacked on their back and four or five upright like books on a shelf but leaning left or right at random. The title and “A Novel” and author name are in hand written script over the entire front.

  9. I think if cars and car parts were stollen at the rates bikes are in U.S. cities, deployed technical controls would look a lot more like off-site valet parking than like racks on the sidewalk, and the compensating control would look a lot more like car insurance than like adding the car to your home insurance policy, and nothing at all like whatever the latest video from some guy in NYC posting how to use three specific locks in very specific ways
