Today I read “presser piece” rather than precipice in a comment. Read books people. This is why we keep getting shitty governments. Books are freely available for a reason.

I’m still thinking about fussy eating. How is it a kid supposed to go out into the world if they can’t eat regular food? It seems it could well become an anxiety issue. I’d bet money on those kids lacking ambition and self-confidence, afraid of new situations. Unhealthy food is always fine tho!

There is a pretty strong argument that you shouldn’t be able to vote when you get to 65. Ignoring the fact that many just want to fuck over the young, most can’t tell the difference between fact and fiction on Facebook.

Every single kid who visits the house is a picky eater. Good job they don’t live here. Get no choice in what gets served here, and have to eat it!! 😒

I can’t see anybody who uses Adobe or Microsoft software for their professional life using some vibe-coded stuff. I pay for all the JetBrains apps and the cost is tiny compared to the time saved using something I can trust.

“I can code better than AI” is becoming the new “I can write better machine code than a compiler”. Programming was always about understanding architecture and not being able to write code and nothing has changed.

Just remembered the time our dog ate around 20 OXO cubes and then the next day vomited up the wrappers and pooped out dust. He can consume food in the wrapper and puke the wrappers up days later. How does that even work??

The only version of ST I like is SNW, well these days. But it bugs the hell out of me that they use touchscreens. It makes zero sense to me. Form over function!
