we're scared and hateful of people different from ourselves because we're cocooned in our houses and our cars with our takeout delivery and grocery delivery and clothing delivery and gadget delivery and streaming services, and only feebly reach out to others just like ourselves through social media

I just received another job application rejection email... 5 whole months after I applied. Though I suppose receiving even a late rejection is better than no response at all. I'm so thankful I'm not still job hunting. How miserable that was.

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

re: everyone yelling about Google Maps - Maps just ingests the official data source for each country, which is GNIS in this case, and most other online maps will follow for American users nobody at Google is making an active decision to go in and change names in Maps directly

curated comic by known author using a scene from DS9 of Miles and Julian having a pint in Quark's; Julian: Ive been feeling like I dont belong. That I don't deserve being where I am and doing what I do; Miles: Ah. The old impostor syndrome. I've been there; Miles: The key is to remind yourself that everyone else is an impostor, too. And you damn well deserve your share in whatever scam they are all running! Julian: Did you... did you just fix impostor syndrome... with spite?! Miles: You wouldnt believe how many things I fix with spite; *Miles and Julian clink glasses*

CW: dull. A month ago, I'm told the Evo needs brakes. I order pads and rotors, front and rear, online. They ship soon after, with 4 tracking numbers: front pads, rear pads, front rotors, rear rotors. Days later, I get only 3 boxes. No front rotors. UPS tracking says they're still at the first hop.

Over the past 15 years I've really wrapped my "Erorus" name and online persona around WoW. Now I'm wondering how much I want to continue using that name for other things. The last strong tie to WoW I have left is Undermine Exchange. I don't want to keep dragging that WoW baggage with me.

State unemployment is not at all set up for the concept of irregular work, or side hustles, or whatever, or maybe I just don't understand well enough how to split the hairs correctly in all their questions. So I have to file an unemployment claim online every week to get weekly benefits. (cont.)

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

I have an electric vehicle, and solar panels, and various other energy monitoring devices. So let me tell you: It's more fun to call kilowatts "koalas" and kilowatt-hours "koala hats." kW = koalas kWh = koala hats Our solar panels produced 68.7 koala hats so far today. We peaked at 10.1 koalas.

This is your reminder to back up your data. Soon. Collect your files that are important, and copy them somewhere: thumb drive, backup drive, something you can unplug. Cloud doesn't count. Someday you'll lose your phone, or your account is compromised, or hardware will fall, but you'll be okay.

I called all three of mine and left voicemails. I've heard some offices have people answering their phones despite congressional recess. Feels like an exercise in futility but it's still worth doing because nihilism in the face of nuclear war is pathetic.
