Microblog

This is my own private microblog where I post one- or two-sentence thoughts, spur of the moment, with no context. Think Twitter, but instead of the whole internet's poison concentrated in one place, it's just my own. Proceed with caution. (Newest posts are on top.)

Ever since I was a kid, singers with lots of vibrato have really bothered me. Like, why would you sing all around the note? Just sing the note.

"I'm not a libertarian any more." "Ok. What part of 'you shall not steal' and 'you shall not commit murder' do you disagree with?"

My conspiracy theories are all tongue-in-cheek, until they're not.

"I thought you were working on connecting the new helpdesk to our email." tweaking an spf flattening python script "What does it look like I'm doing?"

I guess all I can hope for is that some days, instead of putting my hands in my head and saying 'I'm bad at everything', I can perhaps say 'I'm bad at everything but I practiced my guitar.'

I wonder how many times I've started to type a message/post/email, then halfway through said to myself 'wait, I just remembered I'm an idiot' and then deleted it. Probably far more times than I actually went through with it.

Being somewhat tongue-in-cheek of course, but it sure does feel like the whole world is losing its mind, and it sure does seem like it's completely on purpose. If I disappear to a sheep farm in northern Scotland, or a cabin in northern New Hampshire, or a deserted beach near Acapulco, or a mountain monastery in rural Italy, you'll know why.

Oh, and all the libertarian influencers are probably FBI entrapment/honeypot agents too. I suppose I'll go back to my pre-internet assumptions, namely that I'm the only person in the world with any sense.

At this point, the only thing I can conclude is that literally every person who works for a government is either an AI bot or a lizard/alien person. Which is probably exactly what the CIA wants me to think.

Unpopular opinion: no one who plays music or makes art should expect to be able to earn a living doing it, no matter how good they are. Both exist now as holdovers from a time when their primary purpose was to worship and express adoration for God, and any other use we shoehorn them into now is going to be incomplete at best and vanity at worst.

One of the ways we'll be able to tell robots from humans in the future is whetheror not they pull the little stringy things off before eating a banana.

"Average at best: the story of a man who tried to do too much, but didn't actually try that hard at anything, so he sucked at everything. And also he isn't very good at coming up with book titles."

Probably one of the most important duties of being a dad is introducing your kids to Lord of the Rings. I do not take the responsibility lightly.

It is the year 2026, and my existing wallpaper collection is rapidly being replaced by landscapes of Scotland

Beware those who answer quickly.

I love when I replace brake pads and rotors, only to find out after the first drive that a caliper is sticking. facepalm.jpg
