After working with my therapist, I also understand them to be normal. I appreciate that I don’t have these kind of thoughts anymore about my son!
- Comment on yeet 1 week ago:
This hit a little closer to home than it might have to others. When my son was born in December 2019, one of the first nights I had him alone so my wife could visit a friend, I found myself unable to keep him from crying. At one point an intrusive thought of yeeting him down the stairs popped into my mind and horrified me. I wept alongside him and felt terrible. Told my wife and later my therapists about it.
Even though these thoughts can be normal in high stress/mental fatigue situations, it was still unnerving. Usually, my intrusive thoughts involve only harming myself. I felt comfort knowing that I would never act on it.

Been wondering for a while if it was worth sticking around on this plane of existence. Feeling like nothing was going to get any easier or better, wondering if my life would just be watching horror rafter horror until the tech I loved stop working and the world went dark as they came for me and mine.
Then I saw Benn Jordan’s Anarchist Gift Guide video and realized the same thing as you: I may not have a lot of skills to offer the world, but I’m neurodivergent, a sysadmin for higher ed, and (used to, at least) like to tinker. I realized my disdain for the humanitarian and moral failings of the system we currently reside in could be married to my hobbies and feel like I was doing something more than just protesting, donating, and waiting to die.
My goals are to fix up my home environment, get my 3D printers working, set up an exercise area, set up a Meshtastic relay and other support networks for my local area, update a media server for friends and family to enjoy, including a request system, and do anything else along the way the provide a system of communication and sanity that removes as much reliance on the government and corporations as I can.
It finally got me to fix some bugs in existing services I already manage and this weekend my wife and I are starting the work on the exercise room, for the benefit of our bodies. Not saying Benn’s video saved my life, but it gave me a purpose, again, in a world that feels increasingly aimed at reducing me to a sad data point on some graph. I hate what this world has become and avoid social media at all costs, but now I can do something locally that will feel like I’m doing something to help.
I have a particular set of skills that make me a nightmare for groups like ICE. I just need coffee, my ADHD meth, and some weed gummies to see it through. Thanks for posting this! I will save it and refer to it as I go.
- Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 3 weeks ago:
Dude, that was a GOOD read. It’s been a growing problem, before AI and entirely due to the infinite growth forced on companies and shareholder value.
I code, usually for utility or personal projects. I’m surprised how many software devs have shit code. It’s not that their code doesn’t work, they wouldn’t have a job without it. No, it works well for now, until it needs to be maintained or updated, usually after the sloppy author is gone, and then it’s a shit show. Suddenly all the corners the last guy cut need to be added in somehow, with the whole thing expanded to scope, and the code becomes unworkable, at worst, requiring a complete rewrite, or at best turns into spaghetti code that leads to the shit we have in our aging early adopters.
My biggest fear, and one that is not talked about in the article, is that we won’t have any asbestos removers in the future. Generative AI is being fed it’s own excrement and that’s being leveraged as working code to new coders. When this really becomes a liability we won’t have many left that can fix or figure out the fix cause it will have obfuscated all the usable info.

- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 4 weeks ago:
GoG was the first game platform to release a fully functional, clean, and well rounded experience, enough to get me to send them an unprompted, positive feedback to their devs. I really digged their user-centric approach and feature set. I am hopefully optimistic that their services remain at or better than current. However, it is 2025 (almost 2026) so I’m expecting another shoe to fall, even if all parties have a history of being solid players.

It’s the thought that counts! I keep asking myself, is this it? Living like this. Trying to find joy in a world doing all it can to make every aspect of life miserable and boring.
Also, if you’re an empath like me, chances are you resist the urge because you know you’d only be passing your pain on to others. I hate it, but I know that self checkout won’t take my pain away; just spread it to others in my life.
