just woke up. had this dream where i was at a dispensary in oregon trying to buy weed and this guy did NOT buy my ID. He grilled me over it for like 20 goddamn minutes before eventually saying "nah, it's not real" and now I'm pissed off

I believe in myself and I trust myself. I feel secure in my ability to get through tough times, listen, and make changes when I need to. I am smart and adaptable. I care for others and for myself. The things I like and the things I do are worthwhile.

OK Stav is actually good in that Netflix show

Very funny how this comm has have more active daily users than the site as a whole

Feel like I should get into yacc

I know there's some so-called legacy code around but are there any yaccheads out there still writing compilers with yacc?

Some people might think it's petty and cringe for me to laugh at the Yankees losing three times to the Mets while not mentioning the deeply embarrassing loss the Red Sox had to the Rockies, but keep in mind that the Yankees are literally Adolph Hitler

I remember seeing an emoji roundup post like 3 years ago. Would love to see just how much we had posted

Death to AmeriKKKa

happy M-26-7 day to everyone

The Long Haired Conservatives: the Children of '68 Reconsidered

interesting read ive had yesterday, heres a great excerpt:

"The purpose of this essay is to correct the oft-made assumption that the children of '68 were Marxists intent on tearing down American society and reconstructing something new, socialistic and, most terrifyingly, foreign in its place. Naturally there were some elements within the New Politics movement (I shall explain that term later) who wanted to do precisely those things. But this article argues that the vast majority of the kids at Chicago were in fact radical conservatives who came from a very American tradition of anti-authoritarianism. Their aim was to challenge and reverse the growth in government that had begun in the 1930s. Not truly belonging to the far left at all, they were anti-bureaucratic and shared many similar traits with their contemporaries on the American right. Therefore, it is my contention that the wrong lessons have been taken from 1968. The New Politics was a fundamentally conservative movement, not a leftist one."

Among the many reasons I work better from home is I swear like a sailor when my code doesn't work.

day 5 of sketching 1 hour a day to grind from practically-zero drawing/visual art priors: tale of two ryabs:

bumped my schedule block up to an hour, we'll see how long that lasts, might bump it back down as school winds up in a month or so. Anyways, yesterday and the day before I practiced heads with hairlines. today is bald boy summer

traced took 40ish min, untraced took 20ish. facial hair is hard

idk has a certain je ne sais quoi

"ijbol" makes me so unreasonably angry every time I see it. worst acronym to pop up on the internet in a very long time. it sucks so much.

I really hate that my special interests are in shit people don't care about or worse, actively hate. Really makes it hard to engage with people and talk about them. There's so few of them too

Neuro-linguist Programming ​ is such a goofy theory. It's like the woo people just threw a bunch of sciency words together to make it look smart. If it was made today, it'll be called non fungible language model therapy, or something.

Got my blood boiling looking up awful stuff Kamala Harris did as an AG and Senator. Very healthy!

Joyeux anniversaire, y'all

I swear we had like a cat looks inside meme emoji already, or did I make that up.

taking a break today on posting sketching today since I sketched my dad for his birthday and that's very much PII lol

Every time I remember that the 1981 ultraclassic Joysticks actually exists, it gives me moderate to severe psychic damage in a way that "meatspace" or Michelle Tea do not.

Libs in my circle getting more and more to me the closer we get to the election

I can't wait for them to get back to brunch

I hate how I get my creative sparks either two hours past my bedtime or half an hour before I have to leave for work

calling out @nothx@hexbear.net for lack of pronoun tag.

recently on chapo they mentioned something about the conservatives being idiots with something about Kamala and throat goat. what the fuck is the deal with the allusions to Kamala and oral sex? is it related to this Hawk Tua thing?

I tried to search for anti-Kamala stuff with "Kamala sucks" and that was a mistake
