it's like when you keep putting off the migration and they finally get fed up and pull the plug on the legacy thing

is it crazy to do a bunch of research and interviews to decide where to live next or is it just obviously correct. i'm sick of moving and i want the next spot to be our home forever ideally

did you know you can run something on your local machine and tweak some router settings to make it available on the public internet

my friend just did this for a takehome test and i think you only know how to do this if you were running a server for your counterstrike clan in 2002

back when i was a founder i noticed other founders were 10x more likely to respond to our customer discovery cold emails, and now i am also more willing to respond to those too.

i'm curious to hear if others have noticed any patterns like that? (X type more likely to respond to Y cold outreach)

hi, i'm benedict! i'm a new dad and possibly-semi-retired software engineer.

i am trying to find or build a local community of parents who want to raise resourceful and high-agency children. i like people who are open-minded, ambitious, and affectionate. i do some writing for fun.
Reintroductions? Why not?

I’m Trace. I grew up as a devout Mormon in Utah and was gutted to realize the faith was false. I’m obsessed with recapturing the good in it while understanding how to avoid the bad.

I also rant about education and help find internet nonsense for Blocked and Reported.

New spaces are lovely for reintroductions!

- I’m Visa, born and raised in Singapore

- Grew up as a nerdy Tamil kid who loved books, video games, computers, anime. Then got hugely into live music, playing in bands etc

- I married my childhood sweetheart (met at 9, started dating 14, married 22).

there's this girl i met at a party like a month ago that i keep thinking about because of how great her posture and poise were? just very mind-body aligned. and i didn't even know that was a thing i could notice before, just a whole new dimension of thing

i quit my job a few months back and i'm just now getting to the point where i have enough things i'm excited about doing that it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day

very nice feeling

my writing coach asked me to do an essay in the style of a long discord rant, and it's been getting a shockingly good reception from early readers! mind very blown
April 14, 2023 at 3:38 AM
there's a new The Hold Steady Album! lfggg

i've loved this band since i was in college, i think they are the best storytellers in music maybe besides some rappers. also just good old fashioned rock and roll with some keys and horns thrown in here and there
April 11, 2023 at 2:45 PM
ok that was fun but now it's time to mute the num--

oh. oh no
April 11, 2023 at 4:46 AM
ok shitposting is kinda fun actually. i expect to improve with practice. sorry there's no algo to smooth things out so you'll just get like 20 minutes of benedict firehose then radio silence for three days

holding hands is just better than kissing right, does anyone disagree

the best part about kissing is seeing their face up really close but then if you keep your eyes open too long they think you're a psycho

[straining for unhinged takes] people call them fur babies because they actually do replace the function of babies and that's bad because people should have fewer pets and more babies

you can have a few doggos after the babies, as a treat

ok so i want a very specific kind of hat, maybe someone can help me find it or at least tell me it exists and i'm not crazy

basically it's a baseball cap but printed like a fruit. not like it has little watermelons printed on but maybe the top is a green rind and the bottom is pink with seeds

it really does feel like i just walked into a house party. right now we are in the stage where everyone is packed into the foyer together. looking around for a small group in the kitchen or the back room where people are doing whippets

this will be my meta thread for bluesky reactions

here's a recent panel from killsixbilliondemons.com, the only webcomic i am still reading. "vedicpunk"

i was really proud of the tweetsbenedict handle but it's been surprisingly hard to find a good-sounding noun for each platform. would love suggestions for more universal handle!
April 10, 2023 at 3:33 AM
