"We recommend the tool in gst-plugins-bad" okay so, like, you understand why I might not have initially thought about using that particular repo's tools right

Thinking about that trial balloon the GOP floated that was like "you know, maybe by law you won't get backpay from the shutdown" as though that would galvanize people in favor of *the party in control of the fucking laws*.

Gotta travel for work in a few weeks and while trains are feasible if not convenient (departure time 1AM oof ouch) I am rather, uh, bearish on flying and whether we are going to be paying air traffic controllers at that time

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

I am such a baby thinker on gender but it feels like so much of anti-trans rhetoric is just a socially-acceptable¹ misandry or misogyny

¹ insofar as "oh I'm not talking about ALL of ${GROUP}, just a subcategory" is what makes hate speech socially acceptable

"SHE THINKS BOYS AND GIRLS SHOULD SHARE BATHROOMS" yeah sure that's fine too. Have you ever been in a public bathroom? There are little stalls so nobody can see you. Lower the stall bottoms if you're worried about freaks.

Heard some political ads while in the waiting room yesterday and, man, they radicalized me. Spanberger thinks BOYS should be allowed to play sports with GIRLS? Well you know what me too. Why not. This isn't even a trans issue, just, in general. Who gives a shit. It's a sport.

"Yes" is a perfectly cromulent reply to e.g. "would you like coffee or tea" but also it flags you for pvp, so watch out

Fully sweating on these claims that bonjour is more correctly written ボンジュール am I bad at Japanese or am I bad at French

COOL TRUTH TABLE FACT: "AND" IS A SUBSET OF "OR"

A neat and fun thing about being able to read katakana is getting to squint until English snaps into focus, but the problem is that katakana is useful for all non-Japanese words and also some Japanese words so inevitably sometimes you end up like "what the fuck is ボンジューア supposed to mean"

"Just always have your working directory set to the repo root" but I don't WANT to have my working directory set to the repo root, I want to feel evil!!!

Increasingly driven to a rage by how many things in this codebase are based on relative pathing

Any spell cast above level one now has to succeed at a luck roll (higher level higher DC), on failure randomly casting a low level spell from the recovery mode table instead, and on failure of ten or greater detonating for 3d12 "(null pointer exception)" damage (reflex save doubles)

If you avoid a particular unit test encounter, you get an optional fight at the end where every round goblins spawn that will explode in a 10ft blast upon death or within one turn, whichever comes first. The fight lasts until the wizard makes enough arcana checks to revert to the last stable build.

D&D plot hook, a junior wizard hires you to navigate the tricks and traps that the senior wizard installed so one couldn't just push spell changes directly to prod.

The junior wizard however has some small changes that shouldn't impact anything, so why bother the big guy with an MR (mage request)
