I can't believe people are falling for the charlie kirk shooting psy-op, it's so obviously fake

nobody who gets shot for real squirts blood geysers like that

First, Charlie Kirk murdered and now a school shooting?

Oh yeah it's Wednesday, the fourth day of the week, and it's also the kill date of the month.

9/10/25
9 + 10 + 25 = 44

Looking down on people for not changing their mind because you can find some argument to contradict them is just as silly as changing your outlook on life every time you watch a new TikTok video.
The problem isn't how often you change and refine beliefs, but the question is
why they do or don't change.

I'm just barely awake... I hate waking up tired. Probably gonna scour the corners of my kitchen to see if there's any coffee left, because I'm absolutely running low.

Oh, may as well dump these two here before I completely forget about them - I'll be shaking off the odd mental haze (or trying to, at least) in the meantime.

Yup, enshitification is literally the law, but muh capitalisms!

Also note that the limited liability corporate structure itself is a government fiction (invented by the British government for the east india company), not a market innovation. There is no capitalist mechanism to privatize profits while socializing liability, so in a true free market you would probably not even have megacorps to begin with, because the liability load would be a natural limiting factor.

Realized I never added code to multiply color by alpha and it was screwing up antialiasing on a lot of my menu graphics (not that there was a lot of that in a game to be dominated by pixel art) so I went ahead and fixed that up quick. By the way, I am planning a custom texture container based on QOI and a load of other mostly uncompressed codecs, which I will also be publishing. Wanted a platform agnostic container where I can have the same file name on every platform but with different encodings just for convenience.

There are no "parties": there's only the uniparty theatre.

The one advantage that IT jobs have over CS jobs is that IT jobs don't require you to have both a GitHub profile and a personal website all under your real name.
