Tech bros reinvent broadcast TV.

Have we gotten that stupid?

Something something “these regulations are written in blood” anecdote something something.

To be fair, the original warcraft was supposed to be an rts using the Warhammer IP.

I wish Buffalo was closer in size to Cleveland or Pittsburg, but being within driving distance of Toronto and to a lesser extent NYC (on top of the aforementioned Cleveland and Pittsburg) is pretty friggin great.

Nah, it was still the WW2 generation that fought for Civil rights. The Boomers were in elementary school in the 50s and only the oldest could even vote in 1963, 1964, and 1968.

But once all the Boomers could vote, who got elected? Reagan. So fuck them.

“properly managed” is carrying a whole lotta weight in that first sentence.

I once dropped a table in the production database. I did not replace it with the same table from staging.

On the bright side, we discovered our vendor wasn’t doing daily backups.

I remember taking psych 101 or some equivalent and there was an entire 50 minute lecture about Freud. At the end I raised my hand and was like, “This… This is all considered bullshit now, right?” I can’t remember what exactly the answer was, but I do remember that it wasn’t an unequivocal yes. And that scared me.

Literally how I bought my house. My mom died and I was a beneficiary on her life insurance. That was my down payment. I call it the Dead Parent Lottery.

Eh. I want to fuck a 20 year old. I want to have a relationship with a 40 year old. I’ve been in two different casual relationships with women younger than me (33/23, and 35/26) and they were exhausting. Not having any common cultural touchstones was a much bigger bummer than I thought it would be. So I wanted to spend an hour or two with them, but I find myself perfectly content spending an entire day with my current (39/35) fiance.

I was talking to someone (younger, obviously) and they used the phrase “in the late 1900s” completely unironically. It stopped me dead in my tracks and took my brain about 5 seconds to compute. By the time I was able to speak again, the only thing I could say was “you need to shut the fuck up and leave right now.”

As an elder millennial (84, fuckers) I’m really struggling with entering middle age. But I guess I just approach it the same way my generation has approached everything else, with a weird mix of existential dread and wry humor (hat tip to Gen X for starting that, though).

Welcome to the professional world where everything is iterative and and 95% of your clients (internal or external) are data illiterate and don’t want to learn whatever self service tools you build.

Probably vote blue all the way down the line but I’m going to be shitting on the democratic party publicly and loudly for all the fucked and/or cowardly shit they do because not as bad != not bad.

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to see The Green Bone Saga mentioned. Get the choreographers from Into the Badlands to work on this show. Shit, with half decent make up Daniel Wu could probably play Kaul Hilo.

My dad died when I was 32 and my mom when I was 35. So like, not when I was a kid, but still relatively young. I just thought it was normal, right? Because everyone had their own normal. My therapist had to spend an entire session about how abnormal it was. 'how many of your friends have lost one or both of their parents?" The answer was less than two.

In a row?

Not everything needs to be base 10.

Isn’t nutrition security kind of implied? Like, is there someone who’s like giving away 2200 calories a day in twinkies and ho-hos being like “aha! Gotcha! You just said ‘food’ not ‘healthy food!’” like some sort of lawful evil djinni? The movement to combat food deserts is to get actual grocery stores so that people have access to fresh fruits/vegetables instead of just the processed food available at dollar stores.

Of the list of things I’m struggling with as I’m getting older, this is pretty fuckin low on the list.

Like, I understand the adults in my life as a teenager and why they didn’t really give a shit about what I thought about certain things. I was young and stupid and didn’t know shit about shit.

I think, generally, most people don’t really give a shit about oil and gas workers. They’re just trying get food and housing just like everyone else. People hate oil and gas companies though, and that hatred is righteous and justified.
