 The tech industry is uniquely qualified as 
 
 one of the most important components of the modern industrial complex
 
 which requires highly skilled labor to undertake and utilize
 
 which is affected by the dynamic where:education, especially liberal arts
 education, tends to produce humans who can see through the lies of authority
 
 yet which is disadvantaged because:tech workers are paid salaries that are
 just bonkers in relation to their output ("yeah it'll be done compiling once
 this game of League of Legends finishes") (which isn't exactly unfair because
 programming is taxing on the brain)
 
 however, the game industry has shown that passion is a suitable exchange in
 return for monetary compensation, and thereforepeople who make games tend to
 be more leftist, as they are put in situations that higher paid employees are
 likely to be able to ignore due to their higher social class
 
 which kinda makes sense, because the most progress towards unionization is
 happening in the games industry.

  I am currently in a sushi restaurant run by one man, with no other employees, and where your only options* for ordering are "regular order", "large order" and "extra large order". He just decides what you will eat. I am *so excited*.  
                                                                              
  * Although also, and this is why we came here, if you come in and say you are vegetarian he asks "egg"? and makes you vegetarian or vegan sushi depending on what you say. You also in this case do not decide exactly what you get.

tumblr post titled "this is not for you."  this is a post aimed at me and other people who constantly fall into guilt spirals over all the things they can't do, and feel they should somehow magically be able to do anyway.  For me, and for the others, this is a gentle reminder:  - posts asking for monetary donations are speaking to people who *have* money. not your broke ass, still worrying about how to buy food for next month.  - posts asking you to care about [extreme injustice of the day] are speaking to people who HAVE energy to care. not you, hanging onto your sanity by the fingernails.  and, most importantly: posts telling you that you are horrible/cheap/awful/rude/unworthy/unlikable if you don't pay/reblog/signal boost/care? those posts can die in a fucking fire.  too long; didn't listen: posts asking for shit you are not physically or mentally able to give?  THOSE POSTS ARE NOT FOR YOU.

 every program should write it's RAM gamestate to disk before shutting down or
 closing the program and then resume from the same spot, change my mind
 
 (every is a strong word)
 
 (when you re-initialize you can clean the state of leaks)
 
 there shouldn't be leaks in the first place. if you have any leaks at all,
 then you need more padding.
 
 (... you mean boilerplate? error correction?)
 
 ... yeah that's what I meant.
 
 (but why save the state at all?)
 
 because then it can learn!
 
 (... you could just write the relevant data to a config file.)

 @user-1420 
 
 I find that peer support groups are usually better for venting. At least, I
 feel less guilty doing it. With a therapist I am always trying to focus on
 actionable things and usually that means downplaying my emotions, which means
 they pay less attention to me and assume my issues aren't that bad... "you
 seem to be doing fine so we can schedule you for biweekly now? every two
 weeks?" meanwhile I'm nursing suicidal tendencies, and said so, but apparently
 if I'm not crying then it's fine... >.>
 
 but with peer groups it's like, yeah they get it. and if one person's crying,
 everyone else feels more open to crying about their stuff.
 
 sorry for venting. I'm definitely in a MH- mood today.

 On reddit, a good comment will often get 50+ upvotes, sometimes up in the
 hundreds.
 
 10ish is generally pretty good too, especially for smaller subreddits.
 
 0 or 1 or 3 means only a few people saw it.
 
 On Mastodon, 3 different likes on 3 different posts means you're on a hot
 streak and gotta keep posting!!

 I have between one and ten hundred visits to my website every day, but I don't
 really post it anywhere new anymore. I also have zero followers on Neocities.
 
 On Mastodon, I have ~70 followers, most of whom are inactive. Seventy is a
 good amount, a normal amount, a reasonable amount, an unsuspicious amount, and
 yet every time I see someone wearing the colors I can't help but wonder if
 they know me.
 
 I'm too busy being furious to be lonely. I used to be, before I realized how
 important I am. How important? Just as much as you are, I know it.
 
 I'm a sprinter. I didn't spec into endurance at character creation. Nobody
 chastises the mage for skipping leg day.
 
 I act in fits and bursts. I am sharp like a scalpel, but needles dull just a
 bit when piercing the lid of the HRT. Good thing I'm not made out of metal, I
 can bend myself back into place, so long as everyone else can keep pace.

 Oh, it just refreshes the page. At least, that's what it's supposed to do.
 Here's the code:Refresh Page (click me every time you visit)
 
 
 Honestly I'm only 90% sure it actually works. I mostly put it there for people
 on mobile sites who wanted to be absolutely sure there wasn't anything new,
 because Neocities sometimes uses a cached version on your local machine and
 when I'm busy updating things sometimes people can be like "omg dead links?

 I'm sorry I said some rude things about conservatives. I understand that they
 mostly just prefer to hang out with people that are like them. There's nothing
 wrong with that. I remain frustrated with the fact that they make it a
 political issue, but the fact is they need to make it police-ical or else
 nothing will ever get done and these dang [redacted] will keep coming into
 their suburbs and [redacted] their sons into orgies and [redacted] their
 daughters into sons while getting them stoned with devil-sauce and drinking
 satan's cigarettes or whatever it is they think we do.
 
 ... now that I think of it maybe that's not such a bad thing, I mean if they
 can only enforce their will through force, then maybe they should be forced to
 [redacted] - sorry this was supposed to be an apology.
 
 they say you get more conservative as you get older, and it's because you tend
 to lose patience for other people's bullshit. I tell you now: the bullshit
 follows you everywhere.
