Lost Gen

Where y’all Covidians at who told us this “wasn’t happening?” Or even worse, that it didn’t matter because…reasons.

Socio Gen

Agreed. I think Long Covid is real, too, but probably 60-70% of cases have no physical cause because it’s a result of mental trauma and is sociogenic primarily. Thus, no physiological or pharmacological treatment will work that well.

Lash

Indeed. The experience of computing in general has regressed greatly in the last decade. It’s now disturbingly terrible. Tech people like to lie and say it’s for “security” and “for your own good” but that’s just flimflam concealing what’s really happening: the soul of computing was sold to predatory capitalism and there is no going back now.

Volumetric

It is in fact very easy to make two meals that are visually similar, but one has 1,200 calories and the other has 500. Hint: butter, oil, lard, any source of fat, and more protein too. Laughably easy to do. Same appearance and volume but vastly different energy content.

Strain

Work-From-Home Era Ends for Millions of Americans.

Told ya MBAs were going to can WFH ASAP. They really, really hated it and it’ll only persist for some tech people like me who have skills too rare to attempt to constrain. The end of WFH will harm productivity, reduce family formation, increase fossil fuel use and in general hurt America — but that don’t matter as long as some petty MBA can feel a sense of power over others.

Because an aggrieved MBA’s hurt wittle feewings is what really matters in this country.

Harder

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was slightly harder today. Took me three guesses and 1.5 minutes. Got lucky with the first guess; having a letter in the right position already makes it 1,000xย  easier. This cuts down the possibility space immensely.

Pretty Recent

Yeah. I’m old enough now to remember when some glorious, extremely authentic ancient traditions of cultures that we should not appropriate were invented. And it was like when I 10.

As I’ve said many times before, most Extremely Ancient, Definitiely Inviolable traditions are less than 100 years old. Culture changes. Whiny babies cry. It’s just life.

Wish Like

What are some things you wish you liked but just do not?

Mine are audiobooks and anime. I can’t tolerate either one but I see how much many people dig them and wish I could too. But no matter how many times I try I just hate both. I’ve figured out neither one of those things is for me.
