Today is a national holiday for me and my bestie. Once upon a time, I shared a screenshot of a calendar with some weird font choices wherein the S in September legit looked like an 8. So 8ept 30 became our friendship holiday. We give praise to the Lava Frog on this day.

i learned ants really have no concept of us as humans because of their limited eyesight and how big we are to them.  they see us as moving shadows, or wind, or like obstacles and landscape (i imagine mountains). makes me wonder what's in front of me right now that's too large for me to comprehend.

Thought my office had a new ghost for one hot second. I heard some very... unusually wailing/moaning. Thankfully I checked the security cameras and it's probably one of the two grounds crew members sitting in the shop. No ghost for me!

On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours.

Let's keep the trend of this year's Cup, and vote for the "boring" mineral. Halite, because without salt, none of us would even be here.

Cuprite looks great, but there can only be one #halite. Besides, my blood pressure is low again and halite is so lickable.

Thermohaline circulation drives oceanwater circulation - ocean currents. Salty water sinks, cold, fresh water floats. Inextricably linked to world climate. How many minerals can say that. Vote #halite in the #MinCup26 semifinal

#MinCup26 Ok all you strategic cuprite voters, we get it, you don’t want your beloved quartz or graphite to go head to head with the versatile #HALITE in the final ;) (But, you can technically lick both quartz and graphite wo/poisoning yourself, so there is that )

Pleasant weather means commuting with my windows down. I'm at a red light, rocking out to Guerrilla. A car beside me honks and I look over. Bro says, "You must have an awesome job." I reply, "I absolutely do not. That's why I'm revving up." He laughs with his whole body and nods. Made my day.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

I would like to see XLOV but... They're closest to me on a Thursday which would mean two days off work (day of and day after to get home). Which would mean listening to my parents bitch about my PTO and how use it again and honestly... I don't have the bandwidth for it.
