You know you are jaded when you look at a phishing attempt and think, "huh, that one is actually fairly put together."

Management: Use AI to help write your Annual Self Performance Evaluation.
Me: Question: Are you going to use AI to "read" the results?
Man: Yerp.
Me: Why should we even bother? LLMs writing for LLMs to read. Defeats the human part of the process.
Man: ...
Me: ...
Man: You need to do this or else.

I'm sorry your laziness is in direct conflict with maintaining a compliance record of the changes made... Oh, wait, I am *NOT* sorry.

Yup, went to bed after 2 this morning, and my body woke me up at 4:30 as usual. Finally thinking about getting out of bed to do all the Sunday things.

I've been finding inspiration to code on personal projects recently. I miss that feeling of wanting to work on a project and having the energy.

However, I didn't miss the "I blinked, and it is now 2 am" as a result of the focus.

But I'm making progress on rehydrating my home lab.

Ever feel completely and utterly alone?

Yeah, me neither. Carry on.

Damn right, I'm a KANT. And, now, I have the membership card to prove it.
Update: This neo-völkisch neo-pagan turnip who insists he isn't racist has been posting essays demanding that Facebook punish me for being mean to neo-Nazis.

Awkwardly for him, he's gotten supportive comments from folks cheering on hate for immigrants, liberals, Muslims, etc.

Musings during my early meeting...

If your entire party/group/movement is based on hate, then you shouldn't be surprised when it "fractures and falls apart."

Movements based on building up and include tend to linger and maintain relevance.

I am taking the last 2 weeks of the year off... And I am already on vacation in my head. The early meeting is making the struggle harder... but soooooooonnnnnn.... I will be pantsless for 2 weeks.

Time Zones are easy, when you don't give a shit about the people you manage.

Fuck 0800 meetings.

Shadow has come home.
The candle is lit to remind her where home is as she crosses into the beyond. Her journey is complete. We will see her again.

Third strike, and you stood me up to boot. Your loss.

I picked up Shadow's remains from the vet. I started crying when the bag with her box, paw print, and the unexpected fur clipping was handed to me.

I then picked up Mana from boarding. She knows the bag brings me sadness. Mana has been consoling me since we got home.

My girls are the best.

I guess the universe had a "hold my beer" moment and dialed it to eleven... As I was already feeling sad because Shadow wasn't trailing behind me while doing house work.
Apparently, my mom's cell service didn't "store and resend" the messages from last week. She just directly asked about Shadow because I was only messaging about Mana to her questions about tday. All the feelings are bubbling up: sick, sad, guilt, and depressed. And I am low-key crying.

Again, for the people in the back...
Love being reminded that shitty people don't only come from outside, but within our own community as well

Choosing to put down someone based on how they identify makes you a dipshit

Non-binary, trans, side, bear, pup, chub, bator, top, bottom

Like just let people exist and be happy, fuck
