For those who don't know me: I exist in a liminal space of wanting to engage and talk to people about interesting things but abhor being observed. It makes my skin crawl. As a result, I guard how people interact with and about me fairly tightly.

I saw someone showing examples of code they did as a kid, and I am now suffering a visceral flashback of being a child and creating subroutines in basic to route changes to blackjack card variables because I didn't know what an array was. 🤣

I told an acquaintance, who is Christian in that way where they wear a gold cross and say "I Believe" with a certain inflection, that I donwonder how well they grasped the Parable of the Goats and the Sheep. They have certain feelings about immigrants, you see, and a certain goat-like mentality.

There are two product designs that secretly speak about people's cultural tolerance and their philosophy on multiculturalism. The first is X-in-1 products. The second is specialized Made for Y products. You can tell a lot about folks by what they buy and use.

I actually had a new student say something really offensive to me today and he quickly learned why, as a rule, I work with adults or near-adults: Because when you act grown I'm going to speak to you like you're grown, and it isn't my fault if you walk away with some hurt feelings. 🤷🏾♂️

Everyday I wake up and see some people are still breathing and it's reminder that I should cut myself some slack because if even the grim reaper can procrastinate, I'm doing fine.

Was I petty enough to throw an anniversary party for Jessie? No. Did I send her new husband an RSVP for one? Yes. You know how some people send Christmas cards every year to all the people they love? I'm the other side of that. 🤣
(1/3) I may have just done the pettiest, most tacky, thing in my life but if you fuck with my friends, I'm entirely that bitch. Let me set the scene.
So I have a friend, let's call them Sammy. Sammy had a high school friend named Jessie. Jessie and Sammy were super close, like "your mom is my mom"

Imagine using "the fog of war" to incorrectly describe command ambiguity while talking to the Call of Duty generation. Truly, a lack of situational awareness seems to be a reoccurring personality trait.

A basic lesson that bad managers never get?
We all have to make tough choices sometimes, but the people working under you will forever remember if your way of coping with that burden is to make crude jokes at the expense of the people your tough choices impact. They'll know you'd do it to them too.

I had someone tell me "It's a shame that we can't see eye to eye. I think if we could, we'd've been good friends."
We can't see eye to eye because we have completely different moral centers. The person you want to be friends with would just be my most entertaining parts with none of my heart.

"Fairness in school sports"
So you're controlling access to professional trainers? No? Or accounting for developmental stage differences within the same age groups? No? Creating budgets to keep every kid fairly equipped? No? So what is it that defines a fair sporting experience exactly, I wonder?

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but if there's a hot woman on the cover of your fantasy novel and the synopsis is about a man and either doesn't mention her or brings her up as an object of lust/frustration, I know I'm not your target audience and I don't want to read your work.

Men will just say anything that a google search could correct for them. Today's edition: "Jonathan Owens WAS a catch for Simone Biles, he makes more money than her."
...Reader, Simone Biles has almost 10x Owens' net worth. She has done VERY well for herself thanks to her touring and endorsements.

If you ever feel a pang of betrayal after I block you, you're welcome. That's a parasocial relationship and I've severed it for you. Guard against it in the future, because you don't know those people any more than you knew me.

Fun fact: depending on if you measure by weight or value, 50-67% of all goods in the US are transported more than 50 miles before sale. Guess how we do that? We're also already nearing 100k short of the truckers we needed for our current demands. What I'm saying is that this is... unwise.
The U.S. Transportation Department is threatening to shut down thousands of truck driving schools, part of the Trump administration's widening crackdown on industry.

We live in an era where people who have never gone 100% on any creative project hear that AI can get them 90% of the way and think the future is nigh, not understanding that creatives spend their careers honing the skills required to navigate the last 10%.

![I kept a running list of some of what she described, including:
• Kennedy has a pregnancy fetish.
• Kennedy "doesn't actually believe a lot of [the anti-vax stuff], which is actually the weirdest part." (This never made sense to me, as the anti-vax stuff seems to be the one thing he does actually believe, but Olivia's implication was that he just used it to appeal to a highly motivated political constituency to energize his campaign.)
• Kennedy's aides believed he was using drugs again, and Kennedy confessed to Olivia that he was using ketamine.
• Kennedy explained how the testosterone he takes had transformed his body.
• Kennedy told her that his phone had been hacked at some point in 2024, yet he was shockingly cavalier about it and made few changes to how he and Olivia communicated.
• Olivia believed Kennedy was a sex addict and that he was having multiple affairs, including with both his [REDACTED] and his [REDACTED].
• Olivia believed Kennedy had recently cut off contact with her because she was no longer useful to him as someone who gathered political intelligence.
• Olivia told me that she feared that Kennedy would "kill" her if he ever thought she betrayed him, and she assured him she would never do so. She told him that she would "take a bullet" for him and that she deleted all of their communications, which wasn't true.
• Olivia explained that Kennedy had told her he wanted to "bind, "subdue," "tame,"
"possess," and "discipline" her, and that these sexual proclivities for bondage and
"total submission" carried over into the rest of their relationship in the wav that](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:aupbnl6howyquklzdv2jy4l7/bafkreicfuelfp7hpne6b5ovmxmglxc4f4fv2igjuai7llawg3aev7s34ee@jpeg)

It's weird that we haven't seen a superhero/Sentai souls like. We've seen a few anime settings try it, but a street-level superhero game in the vein of the recent Spider-man games would work so well interpreted through a more souls-like formula akin to Elden Ring.
