I can feel the depression coming back, and I don't like it. Don't like that it's coming back, that I recognize it, that I can't point to a specific reason other than the general world being shitty... don't like it one bit.

I'm pretty proud of my little soldering project. It's literally a "learn soldering project," but it's been a hot minute since I learned a new skill.

Coming up next, swapping the drifty joysticks in my PS5 controller. 😬

I've had a little plastic skull stuck to the top of my monitor for probably 25 years. Cat fucking ate it last night. I'm surprised by how smad I am.

(I don't have proof he ate it. But he was upstairs fucking with my desk, it's gone, and I can't find it. Put two and two together.)

I didn't announce any resolutions this year, but I made a bunch of them. One was "no doomscrolling in bed."

And then today I woke up to news that 45 bombed Venezuela and kidnapped their president? How am I supposed to casualscroll in the face of THAT?

Fucking couldn't even make it three days

Everywhere we go. Turns out it's kind of nice to not get sick all the time, what a fucking concept. And it isn't even hard! I don't get why otherwise healthy and able adults are losing their minds over masking.

Ooh look what I found. Something to practice soldering on?

Haha no, all the repairs I'm interested in don't involve soldering. Oops.

Maybe I'll go find a Game Boy or Game Gear...

So, my migraine preventative, Topamax, is an appetite suppressant. Yay, I'm losing weight. But yikes, this probably isn't a healthy rate.

I am obsessing a little over the scale numbers. I know this is potentially dangerous. But so is uncontrolled weight loss, so.. y'know. Potato potato.

I beat Hades (the boss, not the game) for the first time last night, attempt 36. No THC was involved. But an extremely lucky set of boons (Scintillating Feast) and Well of Charon perks (Braid of Atlas) were!
If you made a graph of How Far I Get In Hades, versus How Much THC I've Had, there would absolutely be a line on that graph, with some parts higher than others.

(right now some parts are higher than others)

In an era where I'm canceling streaming services left and right because they're being shitty greedy shits.. I am also upgrading to @dropout.tv 's Superfan "An Optional Way To Give Us More Money" tier.

Because they are like this.
Pissing Out Cancer, my comedy special produced by and formerly exclusively on Dropout.tv is now available for free and in full on YouTube.

Thank you so much to Dropout for being chill and letting me write this into my contract!

I was super fired up about my project, I was loving it, I was a juggernaut of productivity and code. And now? I haven't written a single line in a week. Because management did something stupid and made me mad. It would be funny if I wasn't so frustrated about the whole thing.

First off, let me be clear that forming parasocial relationships with internet strangers is weird, don't do it.

But yes, I also wish that I had more friends like Astrid. For example, my wife @valuemeal2.bsky.social and I wrote a song together about how fucking cool Pluto is. youtu.be/-COAemfP1YU

If you don't wake up at 3am thinking "I should get my friend a smudge pot so he can use waste oil to keep his mini split working in freezing weather," are you really even taking care of your friends?

My OP brain can be just super dumb sometimes.

When I got this project at work, I immediately knew it was dangerous. Interesting, challenging, uniquely suited to my skill set... a perfect trap.

I almost forgot to eat again today. But man.. I'm getting to flex at work, and total strangers are in awe of what I am doing. Feelsgoodman.
November 22, 2025 at 4:37 AM
Huh. I uh.. completely forgot to eat today. Oops?

However, I did manage to do two weeks' worth of work in about twelve straight hours, and .. enjoyed it? Whaaaat

Am I about to defend, support, or endorse luxury brands? No! When someone spends $700 on a Gucci t-shirt, "expensive and unnecessary" is kind of the point.

That's what the Issey Miyake/Apple iPhone pocket is. It's stupid, expensive, unnecessary, and not for normal (sane) people. Just ignore it.

Dear MAGA: if you get that removing tariffs lowers prices, what does adding tariffs do?

What does adding tariffs do, MAGA?! What does it do?!!!!!

My most woke opinion is that nothing that is necessary for life should cost money. We are so good at growing food, at producing energy, building homes, making medicine, it should all be free. Eliminate insurance and any attempts to profit from necessities.

I kind of get the "secret apartment fantasy" trope now. Mine is for one that's almost completely devoid of possessions. The bare bones of furniture. A few of my favorite books. A clear dining table. A TV, a game console, brand new almost white carpet. I literally have dreams about it.

My whole personality is "I'm a stone hearted, stoic, only takes care of himself, overachieving, perfectionist that can prove it, social recluse."

Just don't ask my friends, they'll probably lie and contradict some of those.
okay but what if i've been mediating my personality through acts of service to others for so long that that's what makes me endearing and as i slowly begin to want things for myself i feel less, like, safe, or fun to be around, or like not as good somehow and wind up being less than i think i am

Hey, wow, this isn't cool. I was kind of leaning on Blue Sky to be like.. not clouded by mods and algorithms controlling what content I see. At least I can turn them off, I guess.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Shared this photo on the Meta sites that my family isn't on (duh), and it's getting near zero views. Algorithms and profanity, oil and water, etc.

I don't care, I've been wanting to see @stevehofstetter.bsky.social live for years, and I hurt myself laughing. @brettdruck.bsky.social killed too, ofc.
