I’m a lead developer on a thing many people here use. I hope you enjoy it, whatever it is.

Hello Bluesky! You all seem by and large like wonderful people. I hope I come off as someone who is earnestly trying to be kind and thoughtful and hopefully I earn your trust that if a post ever comes off as not that, that that isn’t the way I intended it.

Staring through my neighbors window at his Christmas tree like I’m Ebenezer Scrooge
Not because I hate Christmas but because I really want to have the time to put mine up
“You there, neighbors boy… what day is it? November 19th? Saints preserve me, there’s still time!”

Kid had his first swear word today when he couldn’t get his lunch bag into his book bag. Given that he’s almost double digits and is a creature inhabiting the world at large I feel fairly proud that it took this long.
Also it was suitably colorful for his age so I’m secretly proud of that too

The one thing that the 2020s have taught me is that not only can money not buy happiness, it doesn’t appear able to buy confidence either

Today I learned that everyone’s drama is unique. Mine centers around exhaustion; a feeling of bone deep weariness from constant fear for my kids, my wife, my parents, my job, my country, my planet…
Others’ drama apparently involves a lot more screwing really old guys

I’ve long had a sense memory of being at my grandparents farm in this little section of the house that was like a greenhouse where they had their old tiny TV set and it was dark out and storming and on the TV was the most terrifying, incomprehensible thing I had ever seen as a kid.

Casually slipping the romancing the stone theme into the kids going to school mix and hoping I don’t seem to eager that they fall in love with it

That sneaking suspicion as I round near the end of the weekend having spent the whole time doing dishes, making lunches, cleaning clothes, making up work work from the week… all while just wanting to sit and read in peace…

So I get that Bluesky might be a bit reclusive, and I get that my social mores might be decades old…
But it’s truly bizarre to see some people be like “why are all my replies like this??”
And it’s just someone supplying their own view or opinion on a topic OP put out into the public square

Putting up a sign well in front of my house saying that I’m not a monster made up of composite parts of various human beings, a creature to be frightened of, a mad perversion of science and God so that should the villagers come they can be prepared when they see me that I just let myself go a bit…

Got a larger collar for my dog today because he’s grown bigger.
I wonder if doms put in as much thought to comfort and color alignment with fur. I suspect the nicer ones do.

Rewatching the Firm…
I remember watching all these legal dramas with my mom growing up.
Do we still make those kinds of movies? I love watching dumb stuff (and don’t get me wrong it’s not high brow but…) but it makes me nostalgic for that era of film where thrillers ruled the day

Son of Sam may have been just one guy who had a dog who told him to do stuff. Imagine the number of crazy people who can do stuff when the Son of God is talking to them!
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

This is an amazing game you should play even if rhythm games aren’t your thing. The sheer personality packed into it is amazing.
So it’s good news that it warranted someone acquiring it. But if the AI first statements are true though it might be a monkeys paw

I’m guessing at the end of the day it’ll be fine but there is one thing that they very obviously didn’t get right about Metroid.
If the ask was to get Samus into Mario Kart she would be driving a souped up muscle car with a hydraulic system that could eventually be made to jump or ride low.

Going to an elementary school cheer thing is always weird because everyone’s super supportive… and then one of them invariably falls from the one level tall pyramid and the parents don’t know what to do… and then we cheer anyway as the fallen girl cries on the sidelines.
America!

“There’s a difference between a 15 and a 5 year old” is such a BONKERS terrible take.
I want to add it to my getting to know you Rolodex. “What’s your favorite color and um… btw… where do you fall on the Megyn Kelly spectrum before I let you know I have children?”

One of my reports made my day today. He said he noticed that in our all hands whenever I discuss the teams accomplishments I say the name of the person that did the work specifically rather than generalizing the work. I make sure, when I can, everyone gets a callout. I dunno if I can always be…

Had a 30 min conversation with the receptionist on language as I was leaving the office. She was teaching me the various nuances of different Spanish dialects, I was geeking on Platt vs Hoch Deutsch. It was wonderful. Sometimes I can forget all the nonsense and love human beings.

To give you an idea of the kind of sicko I am; I woke up after getting kids to sleep last night, worked until 1:30 to do some additional tasks that’d be assigned to me for the week… and then decided the best use of my time till 2:30 in the morning was to beat 2003s Castlevania Lament of innocence
