Cute bun :)
Groups of humans are the worst.
I like pretty much everyone as individuals, but once they clique up in their tribes I don't like them anymore.

The guys at the golf course asked me to name an actress I would like to be stuck in an elevator with.
I told them the one who knows how to fix elevators.
I'm old, I'm tired, and I have to pee a lot.
Integers and floating-point numbers have different feels. Integers feel rigid, blocky and practical. Floating-point numbers feel soft, fluid and mathematical.
I rather like floating-point numbers.
My math when calculating how many glasses of wine I would get from this bottle was a little off.
I was dropping acid and reading "Hacker" "News" in my office at Spamly, the latest Silicon Valley unicorn, when a call came in via SlackDiscordMatterMost, a recently created corporate communications conglomerate.
It was the CEO. "Bad news, devs. We've got a situation."
"What? Is Brendan Eich trying to oppress the gays again?"
"Worse. I don't know which command is necessary to cover up the millions of dollars I stole from these venture capitalists. They're going to be pissed when they find out the money is gone."
"Well, you could try reading a man page..."
"WHAT GOOD IS THAT GOING TO DO ME?! I NEED A SYSTEM TO TELL ME WHAT MAN PAGE IS RELEVANT. AND IT NEEDS TO BE WEB SCALE BECAUSE I NEED TO DO THIS A LOT," the CEO yelled.
"What about apro..."
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS AND I DON'T CARE, IT'S NOT FUCKING WEB SCALE. I NEED A SOLUTION, PEOPLE, AND I NEED ONE NOW, OR WE'RE ALL OUT ON THE STREET!"
"Well, we could write a tool using ElasticSearch to find the necessary man page you're looking for... I could write a rails application, but I will need at least 10 servers for the ElasticSearch cluster so we can ensure maximum uptime of this mission critical service."
"LOOK, YOU HAVE A BLANK CHECK TO DO WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO. JUST GET IT DONE."
And with that, the CEO disconnected the call, the developer wrote a blog post about the system and started circulating their resume as to have a new job lined up at the next unicorn.
My coworker asked why I leave my coffee cup in the break room instead of just bringing it into the bathroom with me. I AM NOT BRING MY COFFEE IN WITH ME WHILE I AM MAKING BROWNIE BITES!!! Just seems like a recipe for disaster.
So when I was … let’s see, let’s just say in 1999, I was on a social site called 6Degrees, where I met my first poly first therian person.
My Livejournal account goes back to 2001, iirc.
And we always had forums for games.
Countries where the rain just comes straight down are so odd!
Like, you can hang laundry out on the balcony and it doesn't get wet because of the balcony above.
OMG WTF!
And umbrellas are useful!
I'm used to rain being a sideways affair that takes pride in not only mocking your puny umbrella, but also getting in your ears and up your nose.
Thunder in #Italy is pretty cool though. #Iceland doesn't have much thunder.
#mastohelp yesterday I accidentally managed to sort the list of people I follow in instance order. I have no idea how I did that but I want to be able to do it again, does anyone know how?
