journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I am now of a certain age. Where there are kids at work with relationship issues. Where *I* have kids. With relationship issues. Where I <gulp> may have lived experience / ad...advice. , Or I'm at least expected to at this point? . Humans haven't really change much, have they? 5k years, same story. 000

journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Scooby survival (Supernatural Buffy etc survival): if you're in the dark and you hear something turn on every light you can everywhere. Especially don't wander around your house in darkness - light it up. You'll see it coming, scare it off, or know (if lights don't work) something BAD's happening. 000

I have no idea what exactly Huston said, I was too busy laughing at Mission Control Teen Werewolf edition. 000

Artemis: "the instruction I just followed earlier? Yes". Huston is now rebooting the toilet. ... surely not funny to them, but I'm rolling 000
journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Today, I am the guy in the office that brought fish for lunch. But really, it's the fault of Sithak Sithrak: the god that hates you. Let him into your heart, blame him for everything :) 000
journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 06/12/2025Take: Trump and Biden are the same. Old guys in decline elected because they're easy to manipulate. Hillary and Kamala had spine; the money behind the politics ran the numbers and they cost more to influence (read: buy). Weak candidates are like black Fri deals; better product passed up 000
journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Tiny gripe: websites titled "How to do " [something] that lead with an often online-recipe-worthy explanation of *why* you should do the [something]. Is it an algo thing? Because if I'm on a site titled "how to", I probably don't need further persuasion on the why :) 000
journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 21/10/2025At what point is debt not real? If I carry a $3k balance on a credit card for 10 years, clearly the lender is perfectly fine with/o $3k and just the fees. If a country carries a balance for 50 years, how is that different than ignoring the debt and just paying the lenders the fees as a wage? 000
journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 21/10/2025So, I'm supposed to unmask, not have to mask, allow me to be me, etc. What if I don't like who the a$$hole under the mask is? 000

journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Does "Golden" from @kpopdemonhunters.bsky.social remind anyone else of "Run Away With Me" by @carlyraejepsen.music-social.com? I don't know which remix: the version she performed on Seth Meyer's show waaaay back when. 000
journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 27/09/2025AFAIK, there is a very decent body of research that suggests plants communicate with each other through the soil, via chemical signaling, and that there is a lot of chatter in the florasphere. I sometimes wonder if it's a cruelty to keep potted plants. Alone. Isolated. Like a lone guinea pig. 000
journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 26/09/2025The joke of smartphones is they can do anything except make an actual voice phone call. I'm not amused anymore. Mostly because when someone is calling me (that is not a scammer/spammer), it's usually urgent and/or un-textable. The worst time for a call to not work. 000

journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Blast from the past today: been a while since a site imposed an *upper* limit on PW length. Way to keep it safe with those standards UL (can't @ them: apparently Bluesky is to modern for them?) 000
journeymanwizard.bsky.social @journeymanwizard.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Work seems very focused on creating and reviewing procedures, but not so concerned with anyone following them. I guess if we document this SOP, it's still ISO? 000
