I'm done with the black market. Now i'm ordering my weed from silk road
Bonus I can get some 2cb and have a psychedelic trip in the wood. My shitty weed deala dont even have 2cb. It's a connoisseur drug. Nobody knows about it. One time I got caught at the airport in the chemical detector and I'm pretty sure the border patrol agent knew what it was but he still let me go.10 -
Someone's slack status shows them as in a meeting until 3:42 and that's just such an oddly specific meeting end time.7

About a year, maybe two years ago I stupidly spill drink on keyboard, immediate RIP.
Got myself a new one right away, obviously. Didn't have much money at the time so I cheaped out on it, got a piece of trash that can't read more than two inputs at once. Like say I can't hold down shift, press W and then space to jump, shit like that. I developed a little muscle memory to get around it, just quickly switching between running and jumping. Dumbest shit ever, it kills your momentum.
Anyway I don't mind that but I've started noticing the caps are disintegrating. Particularly Meta, Shift, Arrows, they're just destroyed. The Enter keycap flat-out shattered. I can see which key I hit the most by how much the plastic has... well, melted and caved in. my touch is fire (baby) oh yeah.
So, go into normie internet to look for stuff to buy. Yay consumerism, everything sucks. Look at these pieces o fshit. And these fucking websites man. Who designed this your mother, don't answer, your mother would've done a WAY better job. Ugh. Fucking bullshit.
And why is everything "gamer" and has that horrible rainbow aRrGeebEe shit. Dafuq, boi. This is some of the most visually displeasing shit I've ever seen, and I am a shit poster by trade, I have witnessed some of the most cavernous depths of the internet's unholy butthole. I thought bleeding through the urethra was painful, but no, this is somehow worse. I am experiencing such profound disgust it has affected me physically. Also am I just a ranting geezer at 31, heh, well best to be a rapidly mentally aging son of a bitch than a fucking jerkwad with an atrocious taste that somehow gets picked up and circlejackaloped off by an entire fucking industry.
But enough about your terrorized rectum, I have money to spend. Is that mechanical shit worth it I wonder. Like those oh so ~ a e s t h e t i c ~ shitbags that take keys away from you and yet charge you more for it. Like I don't care about it being cute, will the keys witstand the ecstasy of my flaming fingers. I type a lot, and I mean a lot, man. Have you ever seen my repos, millions upon millions of pseudo pornographic keystrokes spent on shit that does nothing, I am unashamed to admit it, now where is my medal of sin bestowed on me by the finest of malignant sponsors.
Anyway, fuck this rant, I lost my train of thought midway through and it became an abomination that I am too stubborn to hit delete on.
Also I have no delete key pls halp.20 -
So today I have been feeling some sort of weird anxiety. Way beyond normal. It has slowly been building all day. Right now my ears feel hot, any kind of deviation from what I expect causes me to feel those anxiety pangs as I deal with this event. Driving has felt somewhat surreal today. I felt like I was in control the whole time, but cars being next to me made me extra jumpy.
I assume this is some kind of chemical shit going on that I don't understand. Just wish I knew what was causing this shit.
I feel behind at work and found out I have some rando elevated liver function going on. Nothing I can't logic myself through. What I am feeling does not feel proportionate to what is happening in my life right now.10 -
In Kotlin, I love sealed classes. They're beautiful. The compiler knows every possible subtype. When you use a when expression, it forces you to handle every single case. It's a closed, predictable, and exhaustive world. You can't have a random, unexpected state popping up at runtime.Then I look at my career. My path isn't a neat set of predefined subclasses like JuniorDev, SeniorDev, TeamLead. It's a chaotic mess of SideProjectThatBecameCritical, AccidentalSysAdmin, TemporaryScrumMaster, and ThatTimeIFixedThePrinter.The "when" expression of my professional life has a million unhandled branches and the compiler is screaming at me that there's no else block.
I just want a way to document all these weird, unexpected states so they look less like a series of runtime errors and more like a feature set.6 -
So - as expected - I've eventually been forced to downgrade my job laptop to Windows 11. What a fucking ridiculous piece of bloatware. It's the worst OS since Vista (which in Latvian means chicken = some sort of poultry, like turkey, which is kalkon in Swedish, also meaning inferior, e.g. "kalkonoperativ" = chicken shit OS).22

I think my favorite alternate universe is the one in crimson skies.
Prohibition failed to pass congress in the US, which leads the US to balkanize and close their state borders. Airplanes and zeppelins are ubiquitous and there are space pirates getting loots all over the country4 -
tailwind is trash holy crap.
every div element contains like 30 classes that have their own thing going for them.
just start writing inline css at that point. Why bother putting classes in?9 -
you know how all these annoying body hairs pop up on your laptop in various places? Looks tedious. So the first instinct is to blow them away or remove with fingers.
So I'm sitting w/ my lappy on my lap, writing terraform resources, when I notice 2 short hairs sticking out of the hinge. Sure enough, I try to remove them. But they seem to be stuck. Probably got somehow tangled in the fan or the radiator.
What a stubborn pair of hairs.. okay, let me get a good grip on those buggars and PUUULLLL....... AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
FUCK! THESE WERE MY LEG HAIR! STILL ATTACHED TO MY LEG!

Inspired by netikras leg hair story reminded me of another hair story.
I was training to maintain a Bailey DCS system about 15 years ago. So I was working with the consoles and learning the software. My mentor at the time was talking to me about this. He was a heavy set fellow with a Phd in control theory. His eyes kind of naturally stuck out of his face a bit. I assume blood pressure of some sort.
mentor: "Hey, I can see you have working on the consoles on the system."
me: "How is that?"
mentor: "I found a curly hair." (I have curly hair when it gets longer.)
me: <me, saying this very slowly and deliberately> "How...curly...was...it?"
At this point he started laughing by rapidly blowing air out of his nose, his eyes bulged out further, he kept his mouth mostly closed. He was trying to be professional and not laugh at such base joke.
me: "I mean if its really curly it could be anyone."
Then he lost it and started laughing out loud. We never spoke about it ever again.1 -
Men, fak dis shit. Companies want highly experienced developers, even as Junior dev. Hellooooo, I'm medium-skilled. lol. I started out lacking some skills, then moved onto vendor-locked companies who monopolized and minimized my learning time, ending up learning jack shit in the process. That's how you get stuck. lol.
And on we go.14 -
My employer has made a settlement offer. They also very clearly lay out what they think I might accuse them of and I would have to waive my rights to sue. Primarily harassment, disability discrimination.
I'm not saying "fuck it, we ball" is my decision making process, but...15
