I'm tired of taking breaks, only to find bugs IRL.

I draw the line at my grapes throwing an exception!

Debugging the crane game app, my ISPs aggro DHCPv6 query vs their WAN6 scripting and the label printer at Quest Labs was annoying enough.

I don't even know how to tag this.

A day ago I tried ordering a coffee and doughnut on Doordash. I thought, I must be too tired/missing something. Dunkin' Donuts didn't have doughnuts on the menu, despite the header of "Donuts and Bakery", I called them... A few minutes later the reason was found. Their PoS system upgraded, changing the formatting of the doughnut options so a minor bug caused it to show as fully updated, despite actually disabling the doughnut menu options... today it's the weirdest, possibly inappropriate-looking, grape I've ever seen... and I grow 5 varieties of grapes. Maybe if I get drunk enough(wine?) later, I'll be able to not debug or re-engineer anything for a few hours.

Any suggestions on how to stop iterating through a debugging loop IRL 24/7 is certainly welcolmed.

Now, wtf do I do with this, mildy disturbing, grape?

    @tosensei that was my first thought... but I'm kinda stuck between it looking weird enough that I wanna stare at it more and seeming somehow wrong or diseased.
    It's odd cuz typically i can immediately idenntify what f*'d up things something looks like

    I feel this. I often find bugs in things without trying, and can’t stop myself from figuring out what caused them. It’s tiring!

    @awesomeest it's just two grapes that grew together. don't make such a big fuzz about it.

    @Root do you get extra annoyed when you encounter some UI or minor functionality that seems obvious to do/change? Esp. when you know would only take a couple lines of code to implement.

    I'll find myself in a loop between annoyed/wanting to fix it, and annoyed that I'm using any amount of mental resources even considering it.

    One thing I've found that can break the cycle of constant logic-based over-engineerering on default-- dating apps. I often find something so highly illogical that it's like a break.

    Ex:
    Mid 40s guy messages me. I look at the profile-- ~50% literally incomprehensible (and I know several languages). Profile notes recent effort to improve/revise, so, I mentioned it.
    He said I couldve just ignored him instead of being a bitch, "you look like one of those people that doesn't wash their ass every day"

    Try to logic that one.

    Think of the data extrapolations if he really could gauge, specific, ass washing habit vs a face pic... and where'd he get the inital datasets?

    It's not. It's one grape, grown from one connection to the rest of the plant.

    I'm fully aware it shouldnt be this engaging, in either direction; it just is.
