  • I like when it insists I’m using escape characters in my text when I absolutely am not and I have to convince a machine I didn’t type a certain string of characters because on its end those are absolutely the characters it recieved.

    The other day I argued with a bot for 10 minutes that I used a right caret and not the html escape sequence that results in a right caret. Then I realized I was arguing with a bot, went outside for a bit, and finished my project without the slot machine.




  • Today I made vegetarian salisbury steaks using impossible patties, store bought broth, and fresh veggies and herbs (and some stuff I had laying around). I spent less than $15 total (costco, price per unit) on the ingredients. It took 2 hours of cooking.

    Assuming a wage of $25/hr, lower than adequate but relatively high in service fields in the US (those who work enough that delivery is super tempting), my meal cost me $65 including my labor. That’s less than it’d cost for delivery of a similar meal, is higher quality than I could get for delivery, and I’ve got leftovers for tomorrow, which I wouldn’t get with delivery.

    Delivery is a scam. Gig economy Based delivery doubly so.



  • Just pay attention and whenever you see or hear something that Makes you say “wait what?” Go look it up and educate yourself.

    You don’t necessarily need to participate in the conversation, observe it, gather opinions and cross reference with trusted sources.

    Of course in person you can’t just whip out your phone and look stuff up, or shit I guess you can, but you can always say “I’m not informed enough to speak on this, can I get back to you?” and in my experience people will respect that, giving you a chance to go educate yourself on whatever the topic at hand was.
