- Coding (four different apps I would have not been able to complete by myself).
- Choosing color pallettes for UX design
- Numerous little utility scripts for work (Poweshell, SQL)
- Tabletop RPG prep (NPCs, locations, loot, factions, scenarios)
I appreciate the counterpoint and hope it means something. The polls show Biden trailing Trump by an uncomfortable margin. Not that I put much faith in polls anymore.
The working class folks on the right have a lot more in common with the working class folks on the left than they realize or will admit to themselves. They see “liberals” as both the enemy and the source of all their problems. Trump and the Republicans could dismantle Social Security and Medicare and every social program that exists, causing tremendous harm to working class people on both sides…and Trump’s cult followers would still blame the left for it. They consistently vote against their own interests and fail to acknowledge facts or truth. If that’s not stupidity, I don’t know what stupidity means.
We’re completely fucked. The cult of 45 has a superpower few people understand: bottomless stupidity. It’s more frightening than it sounds. They will destroy themselves for their orange god, and take the rest of us with them. They have nothing to lose, and their only desire is for their dictator to “make the libruls cry”.
And as usual, the leaders of the Democrats are bringing educational pamphlets to a gun fight.
Horse With No Name. Has a limited vocal range, and the humans will give no love.
Invest in aluminum foil now.
Some tropes of the 80s and 90s: Teenagers ignoring their family while listening to a Walkman. Dads reading the newspaper and ignoring their family. Moms talking on the landline phone with friends and neighhbors. Nerds reading comic books. Dads playing golf. Mom shopping. Teens just “hanging out” at some random place like a parking lot, near a lake, under a bridge, behind the band hall, etc. Smoking. Crossword puzzles. Jigsaw puzzles. Cards.
Two laptops? Is one for work? I have to carry two phones, unfortunately. Work and personal.
Interesting, never heard of runner belts. Makes sense that they would sell something like that. Runners need to carry stuff, too. Thanks for mentioning it.
Every option is a compromise.
If you’re slender and wear pants that are fitted (not baggy) it’s challenging. Bigger guys with loose fit pants can get a surprising amount in the naturally larger pockets.
A courier bag AKA messenger bag is the man’s version of a purse, and is certainly an acceptable option. It is annoying to carry all day and keep up with. But you won’t have the weird-looking pocket bulges. They come in myriad sizes and designs.
There’s the “utility belt” thing where you clip a phone holster to your belt. They also make pouches for this. I think one or the other is “OK” but definitely wouldn’t do both. You’ll end up looking like Batman or a police officer. Things clipped to my belt are annoying to me, but some guys do it every day and it works fine for them.
Some guys wear vests with lots of pockets. A select few can actually pull this off, but, it’s going to look dorky 95% of the time, IMHO.
Windbreaker or light jacket with pockets is another good option. But in the summer, not always ideal.
You can vote for more than one candidate, but you rank them by order of preference. This way, third party and independent candidates actually have a chance.
Horizon Forbidden West. Went on sale earlier this week.
That is fascinating. I wonder if the wavelength of green light is better because of something akin to harmonic resonance.
Cool guys use dialup BBS.
I felt bad reading this. Fast food is way too expensive here in 2024. And then you had to write an essay justifying yourself because of all the pedantic jerks who love to pounce on the smallest of things.
These things are less safe, yet I see people driving aggressively and recklessly more than ever.
Niche <> bad.
Ask if they prefer an Irish Goodbye or a Midwestern Goodbye.
