What’s the name of the emotion where you feel a sort of existential dread and general malaise because why aspire when the world is on fire, your efforts go unacknowledged, you don’t feel like you belong, nothing you’ve done seems to have the impact you wanted, and so doing anything new seems futile?

For roughly six hours a day for the past three days I’ve heard a guy at the booth next to the one I’m working at shouting “HENTAI! GET YOUR HENTAI HERE! GET YOUR YAOI HERE!” with the inflection of a circus barker Here to report that this has now become a vocal stim for me lmfao

Our fandom is rarely without some kind of controversy. It’s been like this since the times of message board wars and it feels like social media has only exacerbated this tendency towards grab…

So, two years ago today, almost to the minute, I was getting checked into the hospital after a Pretty Fucking Good suicide attempt I mark that day as my Re-Birthday, the day I chose to be here. Things have certainly not been easier since that day, but they have certainly been better.

One of the worst things about jobs that require a lot of travel is trying to remember what the fuck countries you've been to in the last 5 years when it comes time to renew global entry

Between 2014 and 2022, DigitalOcean sent free t-shirts to developers who completed the Hacktoberfest challenge. For entirely sensible reasons related to sustainability and spammy entrants, they stopped doing physical merchandise in 2023. I'm the sort of hip fashionista who only wears free conference t-shirts.

Being ace is still such an odd experience If you get to feel horny in life, pls pour one out for me 😮‍💨

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that. The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one. This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Why are you trying to start another outrage mob? I used my own CNA, but I could have just as easily used Github's - the results would have been the same. The critical CVEs - both of them - were not reported by me, I just fixed them, with the minimum number of dependencies required to achieve that.

Today marks one year since I joined the Civil Service—what a year it’s been, with department changes and a new government along the way. Navigating digital accessibility challenges in such a large and …

It's so commercialised now, people have forgotten the meaning of flying ant day

Happy ‘flying ant day’ to all those who celebrate, personally I stopped after I learnt it was just invented by Hallmark as a ploy to sell more cards.

Avoiding naming Go packages after common nouns like <code>rate</code> or <code>server</code> so that they don&rsquo;t clash with variable names, and how to find a more fitting name for them instead.
