    There are certain things people say that should be banned:

    • When saying that you haven’t done or seen something in a while, don’t say “a minute” instead. I will ask what happened sixty seconds ago and make you a fool.
    • When talking about where you live, you don’t “stay at”, you live at a place.
    • And being afraid of the word “moist” makes you sound like a toddler who doesn’t want a bath.
    • One more, “amaze-balls” and “automagic” are not words and make you sound like a toddler who doesn’t want a bath.


  • It matters to sponsors. Big companies pay money to have their name slapped on everything, and then huge amount of marketing to ensure the max audience size means many more eyes in the sponsors crap. The NFL makes a killing on these sponsored events, so they will drive up the engagement wherever they are. And since sports matter to many Americans, this needs to REALLY SUPER matter.

    I agree, who cares about teams picking players except for the players?




  • When asked, I usually tell people that I vote Dem because it’s as close to my anarchist ideals as I can get. I would consider myself a social-anarchist, in that I feel laws shouldn’t be written around societal structures and ideals. Society and culture changes, and I shouldn’t be punished because some dude generations ago decided that something was inappropriate back then. It isn’t now, and shouldn’t be codified that way,



  • I was working on a e-commerce site for a large furniture manufacturer. They wanted to add a new attribute to a site that dealt with the fabrics they used. This would have been somewhere near 500 individual products with their own value for this attribute. We had to get this lined up on the product csv because somebody didn’t think to do it in the erp. One of my managers was set to go in and use Excel to merge the lists, but I realized he would have to do this every month until the end of time. I wrote a quick script on the site to do this anytime the product csv needed to be updated. Write once, run forever.


  • I don’t have a problem with competitive sports and such, but I do wish that it wasn’t such a large part of our collective culture. I don’t follow sports, and especially American Football. I have blue hair and last year nearly everyone was asking if I did it for the Detroit Lions. People who knew I had it for two years previous were asking me. Strangers in the store. I see ads for sports adjacent things when I don’t go to the websites like that or watch the games. Tired of seeing it everywhere.
