A question for fellow intellectuals who aren't afraid to be cancelled.
What did the two shootings in Oakland this week had in common? Makes you think, doesn't it?
Guns. It was guns. Again.

I don't know why the 100,000 or so nerds on Reddit speak for the millions that are into a thing when they can't even agree amongst themselves lmao.
Or why they think they know what casual fans think.

I'm also "weird" in my spending habits. I don't like spending money on me.
But I can easily spend money on my nieces. I went school shopping with one the other day. While I told her to not buy random crap I also said at a point "I don't care if it costs me €5 more, what can I do with €5 anyway?"

I live in a weird financial place where an amount of money like €300 for tickets both is and isn't a lot of money to me.
My inner accountant and growing up not-that-well-off tells me not to spend that money for the lulz.
But at the same time, I don't "miss" that kind of money when spent.

I went to a concert (Benson Boone) on Saturday with the lil' niece. It'd "fronted" the tickets for her, her grandma and her mom.
I had no intention to have her repay but she said she would "pay me back" with her "first salary" in the future.

How are ADHD devs even employable? A certain developer I know is now using the fourth different method of achieving athing in a (somewhat large) app.
And he's never rewritten the old things because it's too much work.
It's me. I'm the developer.

TIL that even if you're consistent 99 of the times in your app it can still be a huge pain to correct that one time you weren't consistent.
So many database updates.

This is why I don't think I'm a developer. I've built things that work and do what they asked it to do.
I just don't know programming on even an intermediate level.
I'm just really good at collecting the info I need to build and ship something, SADLOL.
I've done this trick in PHP and C# so far.

I'm having a lot of "This is how this works?!" moments in PHP and Laravel lately.
And I can't share it with anyone, because some of that stuff is low key embarassing.
Like how I never realized comparisons existed outside of an "if" statement, because my courses never taught me to use them outside.

I’m not really having fun playing video games lately and that’s a Bad Sign (TM) because usually the good old mental health becomes bad old mental unhealth soon after.
