Many people are weirdly helpless about computers. If you’ve ever tried to help someone with tech, you’ve probably encountered the
Kind of user.
I remember one time at a party, in my early 30s, some guy pops out “isn’t love just a social construct?”. Looked at him for a moment and said, “ok, I guess. And so?” but he didn’t have anywhere to go with it.
It was memorable because we were all like whole ass adults, but he still came off as a 13 year old the whole time.
Huh. I did not know this. It might make it a little easier to navigate! It’d still be a lot of options spread out in a weird way, but a filter could help.
A friend of mine at least once ordered delivery from the Mexican place that was directly below her apartment. She said the delivery guy was a little confused. She had a lot of depression at the time.
I don’t think I’ve purchased jelly in like decades, but I eat a lot of peanut butter. Sometimes with bananas.
It’s hard for me to justify buying anything since my job is so crap. I have the money, I just feel spiteful and angry at capitalism.
Isaac is fantastic. With all the expansions, it’s hundreds of hours of goodness.
Grim Dawn didn’t really click with me. None of the classes I tried felt good, and the constellations stuff is hard to work with. There’s a lot of options scattered around, and I feel like I have to read and dozens of things to plan out a coherent build. Or use a guide, which is un-fun.
Path of Exile 2 is my current arpg
I try to prioritize the rare thing. Friends meeting up to play Frisbee in the park? Hades2 will be here when I get back. Let’s go.
But I’m also kind of a cheapskate, so if they were like “let’s go to this fancy dinner and then a cocktail bar” I’d probably skip. Luckily most of my friends don’t really have expensive tastes. $6 beer at the local bar, maybe a hangout where we bring $10-20 of snacks and drinks.
I’m just waiting for some RTO’d workers to be told they’re being mass laid off, and instead they just beat the manager to death. The irony of it only being possible because they were forced back into the office will be delicious.
I remember being impressed when an NPC commented on how I wore combat armor to a clandestine meeting. There were a lot of little touches that were nice.
Is this a joke?
Cars and car-first infrastructure have been massively bad ecologically, socially, and environmentally.
The people at work who use AI the most know the least. They add very little value. AI is rather anti-labor in that way.
I’d also rather have some people who are slow and competent than fast and hallucinating
I think a lot about the job I didn’t get last year. Technical interview was trivial. They said I did very well in the system design. But they ultimately went with someone “more cross functional”. What the fuck does that even mean?
I think it’s just code for “dunno we like the other guy’s vibe better”.
Chex Quest was legitimately good, but mostly because it was just a Doom mod
Your first (only?) job is to service the emotional needs of the employer
This is mostly true even after you get hired. Most people are just large children with poorly managed emotions. It doesn’t matter if you’re right. It matters if your boss feels good.
A lot of HR people are incompetent. Recruiters, too. And when you give incompetent people AI tools it’s a big multiplier of their incompetence.
I don’t understand why so many places still have non-technical people reading technical resumes.
It’s hard to know if they’re laying off the good workers or the parasites that build up in big orgs.
Thought the last frame was going to be pouring the hot oil on the landlord. I guess this is fine, too.
I was curious so I tried to find average sizes in NYC. The Internet is full of slop and I hate it. anyway, I found
Average apartment sizes in NYC in 2026:
But at least in the city you get a walkable living place with mass transit. Very few goats, however.
