  • I’m still a babby programmer and I still haven’t graduated from “hello world” tier for most things, but I pretty got permission from this web development professor I was taking a class under that it’s almost normal to copy/paste code, even in the industry. So I feel less ashamed in doing so.

    Which is good because I have made up my mind to finish my long abandoned CS degree, and eventually get a master’s in biotech specifically if I don’t find any other subgroup of coding I particularly like. Even if I don’t like my working life, I want to solve problems, dammit.


  • No particular order:

    • Being a furry/furry sympathetic.
    • A science major of any kind. IMO the S needs more love in STEM.
    • Ever overhear them say “walkable” in a positive light.
    • Hobbies besides media consumption
    • Not “too cool” to learn something. Likes learning for fun.
    • Not to concerned with looking cool or badass, either. Look at CHUDs, I made a joke the other day that I can sense a decent bit of residual 90’s 'tude in modern CHUDDery, and I think I’m onto something.



  • Holy crap, Lois. Where do I even begin?

    • Microsoft on my desktop. Want to try out Linux but even boomers would make fun of my tech skills. That, and more games are on Windows.

    • Cars. Born in bumfuck nowhere, and cities with public transit are expensive as hell. If I ever get a better paying job, I’m selling that shit and moving anyways, because cars are also a huge money sink in and of themselves.

    • Google. I’ll give them props, it’s a good search engine even in its enshittified form, some of the ads I can deal with because if I am looking for a new t-shirt or something, then it would make perfect sense a Uniqlo ad would pop up. But its privacy that’s the problem, and I try to be as “normal” as possible in this KiwiFarmsified hellscape. In the panopticon, the winning strategy is to not be interesting.

    • My iphone (inb4 avocado toast Venezuela). It would be silly to trash this thing now by principle, but once when its unusable, I’m going for a Linux Pinephone.

    • YouTube. It’s a Monopoly and my broke ass doesn’t want to subscribe to curiosity stream. It’s like Texas though, while it’s mostly derivative cringe, there’s small pockets of gold that keep me there.

    • Linkedin. Pretentious garbage

    • Suburban life. Again, I am not a suburbanite by choice, decent paying jobs are tight and it’s even harder to find an apartment in a state I know I probably won’t be killed in AND I can afford.

    TL;DR: I REALLY need to start learning 2 tech so I can navigate tech alternatives. Oh, and I need to get my shit together in life so I can afford to live in a blue city.
