today’s work story is almost too insane to believe like, no one would make a show about it or anything, but I will be telling the tale of today to other tech people for the rest of my life

I love the trend where people post old photos showing they were an unlikely match for their spouse in high school but unfortunately I cannot participate because my husband and I look like we would have formed an Evanescence cover band if we’d met in 2009

finally, after years of thinking about it, am wanting to do a custom domain for email but figuring out what i want is basically impossible so i'll probably just be stretched across like 7 email services for the rest of my life

i don't really penalize athletes too much for bad takes/opinions, i can just not listen to them but i will love any athlete that champions good stuff and speaks about it and that means i'm a wemby fan

so liberty mutual has biberty and limu emu, and doug so are there separate marketing teams, was it the same team i have logistical questions, i'm very interested just so we know what to never do again, limu emu is a scourge, doug is a witless tool, and we all know the true cost of biberty

ok, now seeing the extent to which so many people are willing to shit on him so thoroughly, i believe this take aged like milk and it is worth perhaps 3-4 seconds of your time to hate this guy's stupid contrarian face

what is with some of these pharma commercials there was one that was like "we don't know how this works but it does!" like, who hears the side effects and is like "i'm going to look up this drug and ask my doctor about this pill that will make my taint fall off"

i wasn't sky-high, or even very high at all on rob dillingham, but like, that's a young player and the bulls are a rebuilding team what the fuck do we need with a buddy hield i like buddy hield, but i don't think the bulls "need his shooting" or something

if you truly care about someone bringing a drink /fuckin' anywhere/ i don't really understand that urge at all there are so many more important things to care about, this is just not one of them and honestly, professional decorum is not an indicator of job performance

civilization v: my civ obsession started at the end of 2 and into 3 + 4, but 5 has had the most hours put into it. 6 didn't feel right and 7 has no soul, i still fire up games of 5 today and probably always will. in a genre of games that are almost impossible to be perfect, civ5 comes the closest

day of defeat: the first shooter i truly obsessed over, it was special in ways that are hard to explain world of warcraft: i've waxed and waned on this game over the years, but the best of times were so great, and it's been the benchmark for mmos for good reasons. wow forever looks great (cont)

heroes of might and magic iii: just a straight dopamine dispenser of a game (complimentary). never got much into the sequels, but have loved other games like this since. will probably waste time with the remake as well (cont)

baldur's gate: it's difficult to understand how the writing of this game was so much better than any other game i had played to that point, and even most of the games i've played since. bg2, icewind dale, and of course planescape torment were all amazing but giving respect to the og here (cont)

mechwarrior 2: so many hours into this. formed my love of modular systems and tactical variety ultima online: the beginning of a mmo addiction that isn't too present today (though i still play some a bit), unforgettable memories with this and on freeservers. no other game is quite like it (cont)

9 PC games that were profoundly influential on me clearly, i am old simcity 2000: i haven't played many actual city-builders since this game, but it led to 4x games and appealed to my still-developing engineer-brain tie fighter: the finest flight sim game ever made don't @ me (cont)

yeah, discord going "hey we just have other ways of figuring out your age, most people won't need an id" is maybe one of the best real-life representations of the humor/terror of the "you do get why that's worse, right?" gif from the good place (which is weirdly not in the gif search here)

that bears game was a game from hell, but chicago-the-city is good for one or two of those a year, where it's just raining or snowing the whole time and the game's a complete mess as a result but the bears had somewhere between 9 and 726,000 chances to win that game and missed all of them

last week was absolutely brutal. this next week has a chance to be way better /and/ way worse all at once. i would like some boring times please.

the real kicker is that i've taken all of this deeply personally, so there's also righteous anger mixed in all this and there's virtually nothing i can do about it. i'm going to be ok, i want to emphasize that, but man i'm just an inconsolable ball of emotions right now

this week his been so stressful and anxiety-ridden. i can't sleep full nights, i'm scarcely able to relax, and impossible to take my mind off of things or create any distance. it's also one of those situations i won't discuss publicly until it's prudent to, so, uh, sorry for the vagueposting

this is all especially jarring to me, someone who has spent most of four+ decades watching technology mostly* produce positive results over-use and hype are no new phenomenon, but "move to the cloud" and nfts don't cook brains or threaten civilizations *i know the exceptions

so we will be pulling llm technology out of the ceilings, like asbestos, for decades, because greed and risk acceptance are proliferating llm use across every surface marketing can penetrate, where even some people who make it are nakedly stating the worst-case scenarios as if it's a selling point
