I have so many thoughts about so many things, but I know better than to think anyone wants to read them or hear me talk about them. This is a fundamental difference between me and a lot of the people on this app.

We're just back in ambient forever-war now, I guess. Like we are at war, and it's not even news anymore, unless something surprising happens.

I don't know what concerns me more about being gaslighted about a change in the project timeline: the fact that it happened, or the fact that seemingly no one besides me and the TPMs was paying enough attention to the timeline to notice.

I just realized what this tastes like. Tropical Juicy Juice. Remember when that used to be sold in giant cans?
