Losing their jobs and still eager to jerk off their Supreme Leader. I wonder sometimes if liberals from blue states actually realize that the overwhelmingly vast majority of people in states like mine (Missouri) have a cult-like devotion to Trump and are 100% irredeemable. You can’t save them or help them. Trump is their KKK messiah. I have no sympathy for them losing their jobs. Fuck em.

My first day was... wonderful. I liked everyone I met and I’m going to have health insurance for the first time in my life. I have my own office which I can decorate however I want and am allowed time to relieve stress guilt-free by taking a walk or listening to music or playing a game. I even got a few people asking me to show them some stuff about Rust and my supervisor said they’d love to integrate some Rust utilities into the fold and I could be a part of that.

Today’s my first day at my new job which is my first “real” job. I’m excited and anxious at the same time but optimistic.

Catching up on season 2. The flashbacks with Serena and Fred are a little too real for me to handle sometimes. Seeing an auditorium full of protestors and just 1 white male standing up shouting “let her speak” and knowing that they go on to win and make their fascist utopia despite all the opposition...

Raspberry pi but it’s huge with all removable/replaceable components and comes with lots of fun manuals to learn about computers and programming. That’s the computer I want.

My breadbin C64 is my favourite overall 8-bit machine but the Apple IIc Plus is such a pleasure to use (that keyboard!) and the C128 is such an interesting machine, no other 8-bit computer is quite as unique as it, I mean it’s got a 6502 and a Z80 on board, almost completely C64 compatible, runs CP/M, comes factory with an empty DIP socket for you to play with, and even has an MMU allowing it to address up to 1MB RAM which is just so cool for an 8-bit computer

Today I went to an electronics recycling center and bought a VIC20, Commodore 128, and Commodore 1702 monitor all in working condition (save for the power brick for the 128). I simply adore old Commodore stuff. Now I can start looking at collecting some Amiga stuff too which is exciting!

I've been doing async stuff with Javascript promises and I hate it. I don't hate the asynchronous nature of it all, in fact I like that part. I hate that writing it feels like perpetually compounding workarounds to things I used to know how to do in the language.
