That rascal.

I remember when you could do anything at Zombo.com. Good news, everyone - you still can!

As an internet rando with no credentials, I would say embrace it. Apparently this is something you need right now. Try your hand at publishing fan fiction.

Hey don’t try your backyarding and barneyrubbling on me!

Using cocaine in vibe coding saves me hours of work!

Trivia: cole slaw is an Anglicized version of the Dutch word koolsla, meaning cabbage salad.

Fair enough, good luck with that.

I’m just curious how she’s your “girlfriend” if you’re only able to have “basic interactions”. Being brutally honest it sounds like she needs a lot of professional help before she can have a truly meaningful relationship. Especially since your communication always turns into negative emotions, crying, anger, depression, and her being constantly overwhelmed. That’s not healthy, like at all. As a nonprofessional internet rando I think it would be more responsible of you to back off on the “my new girlfriend” thing and be more of a concerned friend.

In high school my friend’s lawyer dad once had a client named Harry Organ. Sounds like a match made in heaven!

Essentially I think you’re right, we are amusing ourselves. The point is that we seem to be built to do that - we come with a nice set of compulsions that give us happy feelings when we do certain things, and if those feelings are an illusion so what? They feel real.

There’s a really old movie about an eccentric woman who gets awestruck at one point when she spots a workman in overalls with a loop like this - typically used to carry a hammer. She breathlessly explains that “the loop” is the sign of a true master with in-depth knowledge and experience, almost like he’s part of a priesthood. I have no idea what movie it is. I can picture her face vividly but can’t come up with a name.

In my defense I have ADHD.

By then shuttle flights were so routine I didn’t even get up to watch the liftoff. My mom called me before work and told me it blew up.

Christa McAuliffe trivia: she was the only one in her training group who didn’t throw up on the “Vomit Comet”.

I wonder if “human BS” is just the frustration that real human communication is less convenient and demands more attention than the other forms of communication we’ve gotten used to.

In the most absolute historical sense all borders are arbitrary made-up lines on the ground.

IDGAF if it’s the best (mint), it was easy to install, easy to transition to from Windows, and in 6 months hasn’t given me any trouble. I just wanna use my computer.

Only if you believe the prophecies that fell through the time hole.

Helps if you pronounce it “yoo rainus” instead of “yer anus”. We should change it to something sensible like Urectum.

Popup blockers aren’t as satisfying as a browser plugin that adds a “Fuck Off” button to them.
