I asked a guy at the bar if I could say hi to his dog and ended up chatting with him and his wife for a bit. He asked if I smoked weed and mentioned he worked for a single-use vape pen manufacturer, then pulled out a sealed pen he gave me. I laughed and told him this was the first time since DARE that a stranger had actually given me drugs.

Keep at it. I had similar symptoms and tried a handful of SSRIs that made no difference for me, and gave up for a while, but my current doctor got me on a SNRI that did the trick.

Yeah, I think if you’re familiar enough with Plex, it’s not a huge deal. But I did find myself annoyed at how much more difficult it’s going to be to onboard all my friends who use my server and get the update (as well as new people).

I just tried the TestFlight preview. The main page was full of junk when I first loaded it, but I went to the library tab and set my personal libraries in the order I want and my main page is back to normal.

My parents and their endless bigotry.

Yeah, I’m in the “you guys” zone and I say y’all, it’s always better received.

It’s a trip seeing them around. Somehow they look even worse in person.

1 bed/bath to myself (and my cat). Happier here than anywhere I’ve been with a partner.

Birthdays make me so uncomfortable. Even when they’re mentioned in work chat and it’s flooded with gifs/“happy birthday!”s, I just don’t get it.

Those birds are crazy. My dad and I painted our neighbor’s house one summer when I was a kid, and at the end of each day I’d call her name out and let her know the status. After we finished, her African Grey would call her name in my voice every day so well that she thought we were still there.

My daily carry bag always includes my Kindle, my cribbage board, and dog treats.

I don’t even like working.

Even got the zoom-out effect. If you’re nearsighted, totally accurate.

I’m in favor of calling it X because it’ll die quicker.

Tbh it’s made a pretty significant improvement in my life as a software developer. Yeah, it makes shit up/generates garbage code sometimes, but if you know how to read code, debug, and program in general, it really saves a lot of grunt work and tedious language barriers. It can also be a solid rubber duck for debugging.

Basically any time I just need a little script to take x input and give me y output, or a regex, I’ll have ChatGPT write it for me.

Ugh please not GMM.

I know I’m a drop in the bucket but I have always been a diehard Google fanboy and, in the recent years, have switched to iOS, Firefox, and DuckDuckGo. No regrets.

Instagram has been getting me with this. I like to post sometimes, but my friends and I recently compared our screen time stats and I couldn’t believe I was regularly wasting hours a day mindlessly scrolling IG. I uninstalled the app and will just occasionally post from my computer.

It’s Yamaha. I have that piano.
