I am baffled by these people obsessed with being "lions not sheep" and "I'm not a sheep I'm a wolf" and don't step on snake bro I'm a snake. As if they are these tough, unstoppable badasses. And meanwhile these numb nuts get utterly depantsed and swindled sideways out of their mind by propaganda.

I’ve spent the night watching Puppy Dog Pals with my son instead of the Super Bowl and am going to bed early AMA

I know this is probably irrational, but I really prefer the elegance of passing a method a single argument and getting a result. A method having two or more arguments irritates the shit right out of me.

One of my best gaming experiences bar none was Force Unleashed. I ordered it from GameFly, it showed up at my door whenever that was, and I just straight bombed through the game. Couldn't be bothered to prepare meals just ordered pizza and every available minute was FU FU FU. More of that plz.

Security is an illusion that compels both the infiltrator and the one doing the securing to believe in it. That makes it even the more frustrating when they take their big security stick and impose moronic processes in the name of the illusion they aren't accountable to operating under themselves.

It’s a banger of a day in the Ozarks so I took the chance to get my bike out on a motocross track. Ain’t been on a dirt bike for 30 years and boy what a blast.

Wrote a simple extended Euclidean algorithm in python yesterday and want to expand it into generating primes and so forth so you might say I like to party

If the last 32ish years of presidents are any indication, it’s abundantly clear that US foreign policy and many other more long term elements of running a functional government should not be at the mercurial whimsy of vindictive and petty political grandstanding.

I've been using linux on my main rig for awhile now and I use the candy icons for KDE plasma which doesn't feature icons for World of Warcraft, so I'm using ChatGPT to write the SVG for a candy-like WoW icon and it's like a petulant ruler shouting commands to an idiot savant with a hearing problem.

I’m up early before my wife and son and I operate like a ninja. Doors closed silently, rolling my steps and headphones on. I don’t know what the opposite of a ninja is but that’s my wife. Making the kind of noise that challenges the limits of sleeps ability to shut it out.

With the Honey scandal going on, it's a bit more obvious but if someone could just make a legitimate, non-scammy coupon code site or phone number lookup that'd be greeeaaat.

Manuals that unfold like giant maps are unacceptable. It wouldn’t kill you to make it a booklet like everyone else. How dare you man. This shit is never getting refolded exactly the way it was I need to know origami to make it right.

I just wanted to mark into history here that I am the inventor of the Power Sneeze™, where you plug one nostril right before a sneeze. Do not attempt the Power Sneeze™ under any circumstances. It's taking your life into your own hands.

Let me be clear - I hate Creed. That melodramatic wind blown lean into the mic Stapp did in that one video and the vaguely Christian but not overtly so tones just YUCK YUCK YUCK. BUT. My Sacrifice is a banger.

I'm not ashamed to admit I think the first 19 seconds of drums on My Generation by Limp Bizkit go really, really hard.

Just getting around to playing Robocop: Rogue City and honestly it just makes me want a modern FPS remake of the old SNES Robocop VS Terminator.

I've seen many a screenshot of family getting cut out of the holidays lately. This may be a hot take, but as a father I can't imagine a scenario where I'm so precious about my political views or my perspective on government that it's more important to me than my relationship with my son. Not ever.

The true measure of success in the IT field is when someone finally says, "No no - don't waste their time with a printer problem." Until then you're just another bozo.

I don't know how we've made it this far without a solid Punisher third person shooter. It practically writes itself.

People will get all "We could be Starfleet if the world would just get it's shit together!" and right now I'd just be happy with hitting Klingon where we're still violent, self-interested, maniacs but we at least have the mutual guard rails of honor to govern our shitbaggery.

All the various issues and controversy aside, I really enjoyed watching PPV style boxing matches on Netflix and doing these free on some regular interval with actual matches and no circus sideshows would have me tuning in every time.
