so, um

anyone else had this situation

you're lured to an illicit evening trying something you tend to avoid ("OpenGL"), it passes in a haze

then eight years later a grown-up repo arrives on your doorstep, calls you Daddy and asks to move back in

anyone?

all advice welcome

(as @qdot said elsewhere, "It's a bit odd to be 82230 commits out of sync" is a beautiful phrase)

The collective noun for a series of steps is a "fight".

I've written "fight of stairs" more times than I can count and now I'm just leaning into it

gandrayda literally shapeshifts into samus when they first meet back up in prime 3, which is the shapeshifter equivalent of stealing your girlfriend's hoodie

sometimes i find myself wondering
how is the love life of fish?
how does an electric eel
cook a romantic dish?

how a mimic octopus struggles
to put feelings into form
only to realize the mimic they love
is actually just a worm

a shark may go a-hunting
smelling love from miles away
but to breathe they must keep swimming
"i'm so sorry, i can't stay"

and so for every species
a love life has its flaws
but none of them has to deal with
being a lesbian with claws

spending my new year's eve like I always do: smugly reassuring myself that calendar time is purely arbitrary and conventional in order to avoid being subject its obvious affordance as a means to be introspective about my feelings and behavior over a given period 👍​🗓️​

Her character is supposed to be this innocent girl who doesn't know anything about the world but instead she comes off as INCREDIBLY overpowered and feigning innocence in order to destroy everyone around her, at one point she asks her paralegal co-worker out of the blue "so what exactly... IS a paralegal" and it's so devastating a read that the poor paralegal flees the room, leaving her makeup behind, which Gyllenhaal THEN USES ON HERSELF

My god, look at this absolutely lovely* Venn diagram showing the overlap (and non-overlap) of characters supported by various popular computing systems in 1972. Notably, the ¢ symbol is supported in IBM's EBCDIC but not in anything else. (ASCII here means what we now think of as 7-bit ASCII, only the first 128 ASCII codes. 256-character ASCII wouldn't be formally standardized until 1987 in ISO 8859!)

you ever feel like you're playing by all the wrong rules, like you almost have an idea of what's up and what's down but then you try something that should work out fine and it ruins everything instead?

turns out rocks don't count as a type of dirt. ow
