Hate an irregular verb. What do you meeeean “just memorize these!!” 😢 What do you meeaaan the helper verb changes when conjugating perfect past tense, depending on the nature of the action of the verb (haben v. seine)!!! “German why u like this, embrace the simple past tense!”, I pleaded. I cried.
Morgen ist mein erster Tag im Deutschkurs! (Tomorrow is my first day of German class!) I’ve been studying a lot even before the class (tend to get obsessed with things). Real excited to have an in-person event where I run the risk of actually meeting new people. It’s been awhile! Aufregend!
6/8N tonight! Lots of Mountain Dew jokes. Some good bosses in there. Still don’t feel fully back into the swing of things yet, having basically only just unlocked the island and gotten folio filled out as prep. Excited to dig in and do some m+ soon. #warcraft
human brains are honestly so overpowered for the basic tasks of being a human, like it's important that I know how to find fruit but why was there so much capacity left over that I can have thoughts like "one time I lost Disco Elysium because Cuno owned me so hard I died of shame"
that felt good, but also kinda feel bad for cruz azul given both teams would've advance with a draw. awesome to see chicago advance though!

I've been messing around with the Pokemon Recomp stuff and what a fun and cool way to revisit gen 1
randomly remembering that as a 12 year old i memorized the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis for fun because it was the longest word in the dictionary this came up b/c i joked with my partner this morning as i walked into my office that i was "headed to the code mines"
i think the internet might be bad for my health, but also i’ve been doing internet for so long that stopping abruptly might also be bad. i need like a nicotine patch but for internet.
The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.
I have an exciting, & somewhat humbling, update. I have been temp restored to employed status w/ ZeniMax Online Studios, along w/ other impacted duly elected members of our Bargaining Committees across all U.S. units still under Status Quo and in the process of bargaining for our First Contract.

Selling something damaged (that I still don’t need, regardless) on FB and someone reached out to let me know how to fix it to make a little more money. Just outta the blue, didn’t even respond to my thanks. Just a drive-by-good-deed. Kinda made my night to he honest.
There's nothing to "join" in the Democratic Party. It's a brand with products I spend my vote on once a year at the democracy store. Most people's experience of it is an endless stream of texts that read like scams, their reward for donating or signing a petition. No wonder DSA is growing
Omar Wasow@owasow.bsky.social · last mo.Why has DSA grown? One argument from this research: not just ideology, but organization. Strong membership plus ongoing and continuous participation in social movements creates credibility, committed volunteers, political skills, and durable electoral capacity. www.niskanencenter.org/inside-the-d...
It must be kind of fascinating to be a 20-year-old today who is into computers & the web and be able to look back at websites (wayback machine, other archives) that existed before you were born. I feel like I would probably have found that interesting.

TIL it's "two-times knock-out". I'm so Smash-pilled that I conflated it with "20XX" which is the humorous conceptual future date in which players are extremely skilled and Fox McCloud is the only viable choice and port-priority decides who wins. 2xko.riotgames.com/en-us/news/a...
