D without the slightest hesitation.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 day ago:
Some music gear that I haven’t really used at all, and don’t feel particularly inclined to lean in and really figure out how to use. like a drum machine (arturia drumbrute impact) and a sequencer thingy (arturia beatstep pro). I could sell both of those and not feel like I’ll ever miss them.
Watch collection is pretty dumb and I really only ever wear one of them anyways. But damnit, they’re neat, and I enjoy rebelling against smartwatches.
Arguably, purchasing a custom ordered Taycan wagon with nearly all the options. BUT, car depreciation only matters when selling, and no other cars out there tick all the boxes for me like the Taycan does, so I’m okay with it

me sitting here with five Casios, a Ball, a spring drive Seiko, a Bulova Precisionist, a Brew, and probably one or two I’m forgetting about: yepppppppppp
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 day ago:
Cool site but sadly the link for “Learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) determine how you best learn” being debunked is both dead and missing from archive.org
I’d really like to know more since I’ve very recently been learning about very similar processing modalities for ADHD brains
Still, cool site and resource!

hardly a silver bullet tho. capacity shortages, running up against any of dozens of quotas, or even just shit application code can and will fuck over even the best designed autoscaled cloud shit
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 5 days ago:
yes it does
- Comment on Has this happened to you? 5 days ago:
I’d argue it is worth it because that $300 still came from the employer who laid you off in the first place.
I get it tho, that’s not very motivating when you’ve got all the other bullshit around layoff and job searching to deal with

Craigslist still exists. Use it.

The severance disqualified us from unemployment
That’s false, you should have gotten both. I got severance AND unemployment.
- Comment on Has this happened to you? 6 days ago:
Yep. The invite was sent at nighttime the previous day so I didn’t even show up for it. Manager had to ping me on slack to get me into the meeting to get laid off while I was still in bed slowly waking up that morning.
And I was so completely done with that company that I just broke out in laughter as soon as the call ended. Couldn’t have worked out better for me.

No? I think it’s quite teasty.
- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 1 week ago:
It’s vegan, not actually made from ham
- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 1 week ago:
YES! Make it with vegetable stock (and the vegan “ham” flavoring included) and it’s especially tasty.
I gotta make this again soon

The plumage don’t enter into it! (clearly this owl is in denial about their actual kinks)
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 weeks ago:
is nobody going to define what “runbacks” are?
I’m guessing it’s something like when you lose to a boss you have to travel a senselessly difficult and long way back to the boss to try again?
That does sound annoying and I hate when I even have to sit through a cutscene on each retry of a boss…

it’s all the minus sign to me, I don’t get it at all
- Comment on All I Want for Christmas Is You 2 weeks ago:
Nothing wrong with that, but surely you can understand why a lot of folks are tired of it by now
- Comment on All I Want for Christmas Is You 2 weeks ago:
She’s an exceptionally talented singer, her ability to hit notes higher than anyone else that’s ever been recorded is really fucking cool. And she’s got some really great songs (Someday, Emotions, Fantasy, Dreamlover, Always Be My Baby). But the fucking christmas song is definitely not one of them!
- Comment on All I Want for Christmas Is You 2 weeks ago:
Someone ran the audio of All I Want For Christmas through an audio-to-midi converter, and then played that back with only a piano instrument. The results are hilarious:

edgy trash. first load showed a dildo in the banner. official documentation uses an anti-gay slur.

the problem of age verification
what exactly is the problem, though?
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, definitely agreed. There are so many edge cases. I tend to put new downloads/purchases in an “intake” dir and then run that through picard, which then saves it at the final local storage path with whatever tags I decide to use

I don’t have a fursuit.
The really frustrating thing about that fact is that I commissioned and paid for a fursuit, and yet I have no fursuit.

Why, what does it do better than picard?

I also have that one folder of random shit that I’ve avoided sorting for the last 20 years.
pff I have so many folders like that that I have folders for those kinds of folders. I should probably put those folders all into a single folder…
