just woke up. had this dream where i was at a dispensary in oregon trying to buy weed and this guy did NOT buy my ID. He grilled me over it for like 20 goddamn minutes before eventually saying "nah, it's not real" and now I'm pissed off

OK Stav is actually good in that Netflix show

Feel like I should get into yacc

I know there's some so-called legacy code around but are there any yaccheads out there still writing compilers with yacc?

I remember seeing an emoji roundup post like 3 years ago. Would love to see just how much we had posted

Death to AmeriKKKa

Very funny how this comm has have more active daily users than the site as a whole

I believe in myself and I trust myself. I feel secure in my ability to get through tough times, listen, and make changes when I need to. I am smart and adaptable. I care for others and for myself. The things I like and the things I do are worthwhile.

Some people might think it's petty and cringe for me to laugh at the Yankees losing three times to the Mets while not mentioning the deeply embarrassing loss the Red Sox had to the Rockies, but keep in mind that the Yankees are literally Adolph Hitler

The boy on pokemon showdown has been a pleasant surprise. We just vibe and play pokemon together sometimes, it's really nice.

English major co-worker told me she really enjoys hearing me speak, my vocabulary and word choices are fun and interesting and she catches my literary quotes that I sneak into sentences and stuff. I speak a LOT like Matt Christman and did before I heard the guy, thats what hooks me in the first place. But yeah, it's nice to hear from a qualified person that my rhetoric skill is as high as I think it is. Also I've learned that you really don't need to learn much about English to get an English degree. Her Anglo Saxon etymology crushes mine but her Latin is trash, I think I can just figure those roots easier cause I also speak French but like, I'd expect someone formally educated to run circles around me but I've had to tell.her what words that I've used meant pretty often. Anyway, felt nice.

happy M-26-7 day to everyone

Among the many reasons I work better from home is I swear like a sailor when my code doesn't work.

absolutely terrible idea that won't leave my head: watch every episode of mr. birchum and them do a write up of every last thought i have about each episode and post it to !effort@hexbear.net

day 5 of sketching 1 hour a day to grind from practically-zero drawing/visual art priors: tale of two ryabs:

bumped my schedule block up to an hour, we'll see how long that lasts, might bump it back down as school winds up in a month or so. Anyways, yesterday and the day before I practiced heads with hairlines. today is bald boy summer

traced took 40ish min, untraced took 20ish. facial hair is hard

I swear we had like a cat looks inside meme emoji already, or did I make that up.

I really hate that my special interests are in shit people don't care about or worse, actively hate. Really makes it hard to engage with people and talk about them. There's so few of them too

Joyeux anniversaire, y'all

"ijbol" makes me so unreasonably angry every time I see it. worst acronym to pop up on the internet in a very long time. it sucks so much.

Got my blood boiling looking up awful stuff Kamala Harris did as an AG and Senator. Very healthy!

TikTok algorithm is better today. Getting more pushback against the vote scolds

Libs in my circle getting more and more to me the closer we get to the election

I can't wait for them to get back to brunch

the new porter robinson album is so good

stayed up till midnight to listen and now listening again :>

I hate how I get my creative sparks either two hours past my bedtime or half an hour before I have to leave for work

Phrase I'm really enjoying putting between my loud mouthed blythe theses and examples to show that I'm right is 'history has shown this to be a demonstrated fact'. Feels nice.
