Most modern people will blindly accept the fact that horses need humans to build them metal shoes without ever asking "why?".

Even for legitimate uses? That's strange.

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" is great advice if you want to dominate and humiliate your enemies.

If, however, you just want a chill life, then "keep your friends close and your enemies the fuck away" is much better advice.

Some day, maybe, will move the "big picture" button from the place where every other window has its "minimize" button.

If other gay people thought you were gay before you came out, that’s called getting queer reviewed

Imagine just how fucked your party has to be for Ken Buck of all people to be the moral backbone.

The fact that "College Admissions Essay Consultant" is a real job that pays real money is a real indictment of our higher education system.

Tier 5: experienced enough to know when *not* to build large structures and systems

Tier 6: too jaded to be useful anymore; probably a gardener or pilot or something now

When I use Unity now (pretty much only for contract work), I'm starting to feel the absence of key Godot features, most notably the ability to edit multiple prefabs/scenes at once in separate tabs.

Maybe we should require a crayon coloring test as part of our driver's license road tests. Can't stay in the lines? Don't get behind the wheel.

There was some really cool last night just after sunset. The most surreal part was that it caused no . Here's a compilation of some of the cooler strikes I was able to capture with my shitty phone camera:

Ugh, my dog just bit the tail off of a duck while trying to play with her.
