The talking to Gods(or chairs or trees) bit is definitely the weirdest bit of psychosis because really you're only talking to yourself, and I've found I can kinda trick myself into revealing it's a psychotic episode by forcing revelation that my brain isn't prepared to fill in and it gets a bit obvious. Odd stuff, the mind.

As the father of a recently-diagnosed ADHD daughter... Stay strong 😅 it's still rewarding but there may be times where you're tempted to question your resolve

The only reason I give the slightest slightly green toilet-bowl-staining shit about this is because it upsets him and he deserves to be upset

One might argue that 'doing nothing' with land was an extremely good way of protecting it, but one would have to be talking to someone who was operating in good faith if they were to bother to do so...

Many years ago, my aunt bought an old, terribly specced laptop and couldn't get Windows to run on it. I installed Ubuntu and everything was fine - she could check her email and browse toxic conspiracy theories on Facebook and all was good with the world.

Two years later when visiting I got my first support request - would I mind showing her how to print something? No problem, but would you mind showing me what you were trying? She was selecting menu items to send to a virtual printer, not the one on the network. I show her the correct printer to send to and the thing prints. Easy. Out of curiosity, I check the outbox queue for the virtual printer. Over a hundred documents, going back two years.

For two years she'd been unable to print, and every single time she'd ever attempted to print something she'd followed the exact same steps that didn't work, and just accepted that this was the way things were.

SMH.

They missed out the context code:

trait DoW { def length: FiniteDuration }
object Monday extends DoW { override def length = 24.hours }
...
implicit def toDoW(s: String): DoW = s match {
 case "Monday" => Monday
...
}
var day: DoW = _

I just want to never have to hear about this cunt again. Is that why people like him?

Kids can be really sweet, when they're not being twats.

I mean, it's red in the middle. That's not normal for a kiwi. Big fan, never seen these
