I registered. The landing page was really fancy. It said at the bottom that it was generated entirely by AI. It was honestly probably one of the nicest web pages I’ve interacted with. I’m looking forward to this exciting event.

This is the funniest comment I’ve seen today. But also, how did you both get my IP?!?!

No, but I spent a lot of time and money practicing to cook the perfect steak. Now I can eyeball it and adjust the time as needed for a splendid outcome. My partner does most of the other cooking.

Name all your files *.

It’s the latter one. They want to destroy all government.

I’m in Oakland and have a trans flag hanging in my office window. Gotta support my friends.

I came from a midwest city of ~400k people that was surrounded by small towns. It was a culture shock when I came to the Bay Area and all the servers at a cafe had tattoos and piercings (this was 20 years ago; the midwest has caught up with this). When I lived in the midwest, they made me take my earrings out to deliver pizza.

Big cities are absolutely more accepting of diversity. You said yourself that the Pride parade is pretty large. Go get a feel for things. You don’t have to have some transformational sense of acceptance. It might happen slowly due to the years of repression (but maybe it’s right away, which would be awesome). I’m happy that you’re looking for where you fit well because there are definitely those spaces. Good luck!

I try to live my life happily while causing the least negative impact for others.

May I recommend a book: The Jakarta Method, by Vincent Bevins. Humanized Communism in a way that profoundly changed my thinking.

You make Bender sad.

“Opportunities” when talking about shitty metrics.

Why would we help people? /s

Ehhh… If you don’t get killed catching your meal or die from the wound sustained in doing so, sure. I’ll take the medicine future, thanks.

I thought a lot about getting out of tech about eight years ago. I landed on becoming a history professor as the role that would be most fulfilling. I hated school and I would hate getting accredited, but I believe I’d be able to impart the joy of history to a handful of students. Too bad I hated school. I’m still in tech.

If I could swap to chickens, that’d be interesting. Buckawk.

It’s one of the browsers I use depending on what I’m doing online.

I had no idea. I’m gonna watch that tonight. Thanks!

The elevators that always breakdown. They were doing a repair today and knocked out power to the whole building.

Drawn Together was hilarious. It ended because sponsors were too uncomfortable advertising alongside it. It could never get made today.

I approached someone before the pan and asked for her number. She provided it and while it didn’t go anywhere, she complimented me for doing a real-life approach. But I’m twice your age, so I’d go with what peers your age tell you. The rules could be completely different.

I love it. I’d wear it.
