Big ups to the nice and apologetic train driver on the mernda line last night.
Our public transit operators are some real class acts.

Aw nice I’m sure it will work out. One time I replaced a water valve in a washing machine for like $12 when my housemate wanted us to all pony up for $600 for a new one. I still feel pride. Hope you get that satisfaction.

Doing some computer stuff. I like the computer. You can get into shenanigans territory if you don’t treat it like a potential mess though.
- Comment on US Government Official refuses to answer basic question 1 week ago:
It’s similar to a question that doctors will ask you in the emergency department: “who is the president?”
Alongside questions like what “year is it?”

In a pique of frustration, said “dang” yesterday and my coworker loved it.
Pro tip: say “dang” at work and dazzle coworkers

Yes. I wrote a script to make me green even though my employer doesn’t give a shit because I want the peace of mind even though I’m in your situation.
This micromanagement via surveillance is counterproductive any way you slice it. The peace of mind script makes me more valuable to my employer even though it might be inconsequential.
Bentham’s panopticon.

- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 2 months ago:
A lot of nonsense apologia in these comments. Motivated reasoning and carefully cherry-picked sources. A fixation on the long history of western imperialist propaganda. Edgy contrarianism, ultimately.
What you won’t see much of:
Direct and lengthy criticism of China (the kind that isn’t just damage control)
Citations from respectable research journals
Teens and Chinese agents, it is late, go to bed, you’ve got TikTok tomorrow.
