the "iced coffee at a job interview" discussion is obviously stupid but also a great representation of the fact that every single HR person/recruiter has their own different made up rules for candidates and all of them think they are absolutely correct

It is so mentally corrosive to try to ascertain, every day, whether the images I am seeing or the texts I am getting or the phone calls I am receiving are real - produced by a human who is trying to communicate something with me, even indirectly. It makes me feel insane and paranoid all the time

There are three kinds of emails: 1) An email from Temu that says "This Requires Immediate Action Or Face Consequences" 2) An email from your bank saying you have a notice that it sent you an email 3) An email from a doctor's office asking you to sign up to their new portal

One dumb thing about return-to-office mandates that actually track days spent in the office is that, like, if you have a cold on an in-office day they force you to either take the day off entirely (even if you're well enough to work) or come in & risk getting others sick

A lot of people don't know this, but when you brush a cat, you are legally required to show them the wad of cat hair that came off of them and tell them "this is enough for another whole cat"

The alert system is for when immediate action is needed in response to a very specific threat. It’s not a watch, it’s a warning. It is for when the wildfire is two miles from your house and not controlled and you need to RUN. It is not for the message the govt should have been running all summer.

as video game graphics get more and more advanced i think their achilles heel is LOD draw distance. i understand technically why it happens but i'd just rather play a game with lower fidelity than one where i can see grass and shadows springing into existence 3 feet in front of me

Rules for Using a Camera
1. Assume every camera has film unless you personally verify otherwise
2. Never point a camera at something you're not willing to photograph.
3. Never put your finger on the shutter button until you're ready to take a photograph.
4. Always be aware of the subject of your photograph and what is behind the subject.

continually blows my mind that — despite being the only way i’ve consumed news my entire life — the publishing industry still hasn’t caught up to the fact that i want to consume a couple stories from like 50 different outlets every month and instead they all think they’re worth an ongoing commitment

i'm sharing this because i truly believe that you can do anything, given a bit of root cause analysis and attention to detail. it might take longer than someone who's done it before. and it might be harder work if you don't know how to do it efficiently. but you can do stuff

The white-hot take here is that Display itself is a mistake and should not exist as there is no inherent way to display and data to the user (without input from a presentation layer including localisation and accessibility, etc)

thinkin about stuff
the time when I was most immersed in Joni Mitchell's music (1990-1995ish) was also a time when I wasn't very in touch with a lot of pain I carried but the pain was there, looking for a place to be felt, and I'd locate that place in Joni Mitchell records, specifically Blue & Court + Spark & The Hissing of Summer Lawns, and while there's certainly plenty of hurt in those records it's still kind of funny when I'll cue up "In France They Kiss on Main Street" and a body memory of beginning to give myself permission to feel something very difficult will ripple through me, and it's in a way delicious, luxuriant; and I think one error in listening is to attribute agency to the artist when this sort of connection is formed, artists are just playing in their sandboxes, but it's also nearly impossible as a listener to not holler in gratitude from the heart of this process, seeking a person or Person to whom one might express that profound gratitude, someone to whom we can say "thank you, what would I be without this," but there are two people to thank for this and it's harder to thank them than to enter into the easy recourse of icon worship, and sources vary on whether those two people are actually just one person but one of them is God and the other one is you.

"do what you like" is a bit like hearing "did you try winning the lottery" the thing that makes people like their job is stuff like having agency and feeling that the work is meaningful, being trusted as a peer, etc and then way down the bottom of the list is things like "the actual work"
