....I don't actually know what sect of Christianity my grandparents subscribe to but when we visit family on my mom's side we all hold hands and sing Praise God, From Whom All Blessings Flow before meals

ohhh, yeah, okay. reading through the comments it sounds like Catholic grace is much more of a Ritual TM than (at least) Methodist grace was. Generally speaking someone would just say some prayer or another that roughly boiled down to "thank God for this food and those I'm having it with, amen"

.......I was raised Methodist and I kind of always assumed that all Christians said grace before meals pretty much? was I wrong about that?

it's weird, sometimes these days I'll just not code at all for months at a time

mmm, as an empath I can tell that you're feeling a little distressed by my distress right now. why don't we put this whole "helping me process my emotions" thing on pause so I can help you process your emotions about helping me process my emotions?

you can tell you're talking to me on discord and not an imposter because I'll send you like 10 messages in a row and they'll all have 2-4 extremely minor structural edits and fixes

my most reasonable assumption is that it's flagging my posts more for using mobile browser Twitter which is potentially reasonable because mobile web (undocumented) apis are probably where a lot of those bot posts originate but I'll fuckin skewer myself before I install the twitter app

maybe it's just me and I'm on the edge of being banned or something over there, but as someone who still uses Twitter regularly it's stopping me from sending 2/every 3 posts for "seeming automated/spammy"

if it calms down again I'll fuck off over there some more, but it's actually unusable rn

counterpoint: it is absolutely living up to my exact expectations

...honestly? winx club probably?

pretty sure secretly tuning in to watch it when my parents weren't keeping an eye on me actually awakened the nascent desire to feel pretty in me as a small child

I mean if it wasn't that it would've been something else, but that's rather the joke, isn't it

does it suck? yes. but just be real and acknowledge the context in which it was made, something I'm sure Hwang Dong-hyuk had to acknowledge and compromise with constantly along the way.

Squid Game is a show created by Hwang Dong-hyuk to show the oppressiveness of a hypercapitalist and fascist society. Squid Game is owned by Netflix. Who do you think decided to cast a cis guy as a trans woman? Even if it was him what competing pressures was he under to tell the story. Be serious.

I'm gonna be honest treating the squid game "cis man playing a trans woman" thing as a betrayal kind of exhausts me when we've already seen the tension between "squid game as a media property" and "squid game as a piece of art criticizing capitalism and society" for so long

this makes me think of why I enjoy lazy languages so much. they're counterintuitive for most people and have weird edge cases, but they can often make the most obvious and elegant solution (ex. free monads) actually useful in the real world, albeit perhaps still not the *best* solution

do stuff badly

stop living in a jail of only doing stuff you do well

draw badly write badly code badly sport badly

only way to get good at more things is by doing them through being bad at them

if you enjoy it keep doing it badly even if you don't get good

unless it's a job good isn't the point

I see the transphobia, homophobia, and misogyny. I don't see the joke all the libs think is heckin awesome though.

they've absolutely made mistakes and I think in this modern world some level of fascistic tendency manages to creep in at every level but it's simply unignorable if you actually listen that they're trying (and succeeding) when much of the world isn't

this is something I have said for years. I have my issues with modern-day China for certain, but something you just cannot argue with is that the government reinvests its prosperity into the prosperity of the people of China at almost every step

me when I'm joikin off

ohhh my god I just saw another one

it's crazy that women just look like that. like they're so pretty??? have you ever seen a woman???

I don't understand people who like soft beds. sleeping in a soft bed is actually the least comfortable thing

oh, of course! that was silly of me

very fair though

honestly the ash (æ) is probably also wrong? like historically (the way you probably intended it?) it's the a in happy (...or ash), it's only been recently that it's considered a typographic variant actually pronounced like 'ae' would be

to be clear that would be approximately pronounced mackthilot

ronald reagan: i was going to legalize gay marriage until those uppity faggots criticized my handling of the aids epidemic

As an attempt at restitution, please accept these amazing Boondocks strips about Jar-Jar Binks

side note: can you tell we are extremely white? this is like the whitest possible description of Christmas

the holidays are so fun
