Yup. We can’t repeat the arrogant mistakes of James Carville.

I don’t bend the hinge pins, I bend the hinge “knuckles”. That’s probably what you meant.

This isca sacrifice executives are always willing to make.

I’m not a carpenter, just a stupid homeowner. Learning how to bend hinges to fix problem doors was life changing. Especially in an older house that has shifted over time.

It’s tricky to explain. Fortunately there are videos online that show how it works.

Anyway, I know that’s not the same thing as hanging a door. That’s much more involved.

Yup. Psyllium husk is good stuff.

You kids with your skateboards and dungarees, next you’ll be telling us smoking is bad for you. Let the adults do their jobs. Why are my glasses in the icebox again? Which one of you bobby-soxers put them there!?

Everyone knows WiFi routers generate phlogiston which unbalances the 4 humors and causes brain clouds.

I’m a big fan of Steam, but gog.com also exists, and people should always try to figure out how to preserve copies of their games and media in a self-hosted way wherever possible.

I know with some games it’s not possible because of requiring signons, etc, but even those sometimes get cracked (people run their own WoW servers, etc).

I always download and/or sideload everything I can. My e-books, my music, and my games.

I have been negligent about shows and movies because once I watch them I tend to not watch them again. But, I have friends with extensive video libraries that they built up over the years.

It’s harder now because storage is so fucking expensive. But don’t accept the default mode that your shit has to live in the cloud. The cloud is just somebody else’s storage.

They said the trending thing and got reflexive upvotes. That’s all it was.

We did this at my last job. Couldn’t get user specs or feedback on fucking anything. Total unwillingness to commit.

So we’d build the software wrong just so they could feel powerful and smart ‘making’ us change it. System requirements the stupid-hard way.

For the real advice, watch this hour long video…

People: having fun

Abrahamic religions: no

I sort of understand malignant narcissism and its early victims. I’ll never understand the suckers who fall for it again after it’s been clearly and publicly exposed. Idiots are going to give this POS more money for a new project, if they haven’t already.

Edit: I’m not talking about Fielder. I’m talking about the inevitable investors.

Yup, nature is absolutely brutal, and humans in particular are highly callous and destructive at large scales. Things like empathy only exist at smaller scales.

I am very bad at these kinds of games, so I want to believe this.

Meanwhile, I’m going to go hover around this light bulb until someone turns it off or I die from dehydration.

Feel this in my bones. I enjoy reading books, but they go down the memory hole fast for me, especially names.

Sex, relationships, and loneliness are all distinct domains. There’s important overlap to be sure. But they are not the same things. You can be a casanova and still be lonely. You can be stuck in a bad marriage and feel very lonely indeed.

I think a lot of modern people (regardless of gender identity) have problems making and keeping friends, too. Long-term friendships take work, sacrifice, and compromise. It’s not just compatible interests and personalities.
