i miss John McAfee
@beardalaxy trombone players are weird
@beardalaxy hopefully you’ve at least heard the song. It’s pretty great.
New gun day is best day
@beardalaxy I wouldn't have it any other way
ohai, I moved to a new state and then Darktide put out a patch and made it fun again so I kind of forgot about the fediverse.
What's going on, did I miss anything in the last... few... uh... months?
Listening to Handel's Messiah while trying to figure out if I should build or buy an NVR for the new house.
Curb stomping a mind flayer. My racist human paladin is doing great so far.
Would have been nice if the early talk about BG3 involved talking about more than bear sex and genital choice.
If anyone had said, "The opening cinematic has a mind flayer spell jammer ship fighting with 3 dragons" I wouldn't have hesitated to buy it.
Instead I had to be convinced over and over that it wasn't just a sexual deviance simulator.
Fiddling with matrix bots only to find that there's no case insensitive match on simple responses (like help) but only on active commands. Ok, simple enough pull request. Write two lines of python, 6 lines of comments, 4 lines of tests.
Try to run the tests and now I'm fighting with python dev environments because python is terrible.
@matrix “the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.”

"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.
@beardalaxy yeah, at the end of the day I know I cause these problems, but in the recent case I don’t really care, it wasn’t a close friendship and the person in question was prone to hysterics anyhow, I just lost my patience for bullshit.
I was just amused at how I sabotage myself now versus 20-30 years ago.
It used to be that I would torpedo friendships by angrily engaging in protracted pedantic arguments. Now I seem to end friendships by angrily disengaging from protracted pedantic arguments.
So I'd call that personal growth.
