been a programmer for nearly 25 years now… i understand what you mean. i find a lot of joy in not just making a program “go”, but building it elegantly and efficiently. there are a lot of design guidelines and patterns that make that easier and more predictable, but i always feel there is a lot of value in trusting your sense of aesthetic and building stuff by way of discovery and refinement, sculpting.

“get” or “acquire” or “add to collection” or “snag”… or any other vomit inducing roundabout corporate speak

I love how there’s basically nothing but love for Tool in these comments. I’m a big fan of whatever Maynard James Keenan’s touching. I adore Puscifer and listen constantly (Grand Canyon is my current obsessive-replay song… once again), APC literally always fucks hard so it’s always an option, and Tool scratches an itch I can’t get anywhere else. Saw Tool live finally, too, just like last year.

Howdy, fellow buckaroo!

“women are not sexy to be a loud and simple person”

… I don’t agree with this, but my keyboard may have picked up on the fact that I am a gay and a simpleton.

“men are not sexy to be a loud and simple person”

oh nvm it just thinks I hate everyone lmao

you dumb piece of shit.

😢 I know, I’m sorry, I’m trying

they’re so full of themselves they cannot conceive of someone who doesn’t want to comply with them and get a moment of fame on TV. that person denying to be on camera probably destroyed his mood for the whole day as he wondered what he did- “there’s no way she hates me so much she doesn’t want to be seen on TV next to me… I’m famous!”

been noticing the conservatives on Twitter freaking out over the music rights thing, rattling on about how “music should be for everyone”. which is a hoot, because like, wait, you’re telling me you want to take the property of someone else, which they invested time and money into producing, and redistribute it to all people who want it?? HMMMM that sounds like something…

I’ve had a few folks delete their tweets but for the most part they just ignore it or call me very stupid and evil (their go-to when they have no argument) lmao. I actually engaged one Maga musician because he was afraid of what would happen if we allowed the right’s “musical socialism” discussion to continue.

they call him Genocide Joe if they think it will bother the liberal they’re speaking to. if they think it will hurt their enemy, they do not require something they say to align with their principles.

if we get hurt whether we help people or not, shouldn’t we just always help people? we’re gonna get slapped anyway.
