Started studying web development after dipping my toe in it in university and honestly it's fucking fun. Are you too chronically online and want to make 'something'? This is it.

Yes AI blah blah but fuck man just because factories exist doesn't mean we should forget how to make things ourselves.

My wife, fast asleep, just muttered the word ”Senpai” and I am about 95% sure she has no clue what it means.

The funny thing about having suffered burnout is that my body has a red line and will start SCREAMING the second I cross it.

Work full time and do distance university courses half time? No problems.
A single email that means more stuff to do? Instant migraine.

Incredible

if i knew gamedev i'd make an itch.io-type first person low poly game except instead of it being a horror game it'd be slow-paced and cozy. where you work simple jobs, making money and getting neat stuff for your apartment.

being a board member of a national non-profit organization sounds cool and all until you get an email like
"guess what bestie lock down your monday night because we're spending TWO HOURS on zoom planning another meeting that's in a few months" as if its something any reasonable person wants to do

miss me with that toxic masculinity shit. you gotta be mean to feel like a man? hell no. hug your homies, let them know how much they mean to you. compliments are free to give to others. the most important thing in the world is to be nice to people. how they respond to that is between them and whatever entity they believe in.

i consider my wife to be a pretty intelligent person because she has two university degrees and can hold a lengthy conversation about a range of different topics, but then she suddenly drops something insane like the fact that she doesn't know how to use a shoehorn and has never used one in her life

did you know the reason we're so afraid to be alone is because during the time our brains developed, in hunter-gatherer societies, it was literally a death sentence to be ostracized?

haha oh man look at the time i got to go to bed. goodnight!
