- Comment on A conversation with my wife 1 week ago:
Honestly, missing a bit of dickskin is a lot less troubling to me then how hard we all work and have no real protection from the hurdles life sometimes throws at us.
Who’s taking care of my elderly family, spread out across the states? My nephews have to choose between affording a home by both going to work, or actually raising their young kids. Where is our eldercare, our universal healthcare, our pre-k benefits?
I have my reasons to gripe about society, and crazy as mutilating a baby under the pretense of health is, I don’t think it’s as deadly or dangerous to us all long term, as these oligarchs and their sycophants robbing us of our dues, enabled by an unregulated economy.
The clock keeps ticking on the detonator.

I don’t hate my doctor or my parents for doing what they thought was a good idea at the time.
I’m fine and I love both my parents just the same. Hopefully you can find peace as well.

What the fuck is a lunga? Teimpo? 🤦
Latine at least sounds better, but I hate how close to latrine it is. The point is that we can identify our roots in Latin America when speaking with others, and unfortunately for the people trying to corrupt our lengua, the vast majority of speakers seem ok with using the subtleties of context in a Spanish sentence to understand that everyone is being referred to when using either Latino or Latina.
If that makes you uncomfortable, play with duo lingo some more until you truly grok this language.
I’d like a queer latino’s take on this, I’m truly interested in their opinion. Even that sentence, the majority understand I’m asking for input from everyone, whether I’d written Latino or Latina.

If you like funky murder mysteries, you’ll like the first one.
It’s pretty damn good, and a bit shocking to see Daniel Craig put on a good take on a southern accent.

Lmao why? It wasn’t as good as the first but still reasonably good.

Fucking same.
Why on earth you gotta grab your food, climb the side of the cage and look me dead in the eyes while crunching the pellets so crumbs shoot out to the side??

That was my biggest gripe of the rest, “bees do poorly” translates directly to “it’s unnatural because it’s unbalanced”.
People: we can have progress, and a beautiful world of living companions on this blue spaceship as well. There is no other place like it!
- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
I hope so, but is it a right to work state? Not a lawyer, but absolutely ask one. Recall that that costs money though, and she no longer has an income. It’s wildly disadvantaged against the workers here.

I love this.

You can rescue some as I have. Birds are very unique and fun, but fragile and want as much love as they give (which is a lot).
I have two conures, one was “too loud” and ignored in the corner of their garage for a few years until he started pulling out all his feathers and chewing off one of his toes, at which point he was donated.
It took about a month to get him to trust me. He will not stop attacking his own feathers, but now does so in a relaxed, quiet way while on my shoulders. He loves to just hang out with me while I’m doing some design work or programming, calling from the open door of his cage in a certain way when he wants to shoulder surf. He’s afraid of everyone else, but I know him, his body language tells me that he likes being around me.
They are a unique gift in terms of a life form. I wouldn’t buy one. Go for a rescue, try to sense their personalities as you talk to them. Image

How the hell were the original rfc designers so creative as to result in such a flexible system?? It’s gets crazier the more you look at it.

Mmm… That doesn’t seem right, it’s usually gotta be fully expanded to at least a particular A record/MX.
How would you tie the tld itself to an MX?

It’s also kind of fun. 🤷
- Comment on Restaurant Bill 5 months ago:
Saw exactly this when I was doing commissioning for a large municipality. No matter how tight the specs were, some of these knuckleheads would do it their own way and get mad when we forced then to do it right.
Some of them would just claim bankruptcy if the mistake was big enough.
Pro-tip, friends: don’t pick the lowest cost of construction bids, I guaran-fucking-tee it’ll cost you more than you saved.

Nothing wrong with wincing, and trying to keep the crabs alive as well. Sure, we gotta live too.
But we gotta degrow a bit. As a species, humanity is running the planet a little too close to the redline, to put it mildly.
Nothing is blank and white, and the older I get, the more shades I see. We can, should, and will strive for better.
- Comment on Blueberry milkshakes 6 months ago:
I don’t like hurting animals. If one believes we really are a special species because of things like our innate curiosity, I think you’ll understand the interesting quest to try to eat without hurting anyone/thing.
Why? Better, why not?
- Consider how difficult “getting off this rock” is with live food onboard. Plants can directly feed humans with limited processing. With some processing, you can make tasty high protein burgers. Admittedly, still not nutritionally the same as beef, but compensable in other ways.
- We’re a concious species (mostly), why not try to avoid hurting our fellow companions in this barren wasteland called space? Who else do we have in the known universe?
I still eat eggs & cheese. Perhaps a day will come where I don’t need those either. I hope you’ll be curious enough to try some alternatives too.
