heartbreaking: watching video of crime not as exciting as committing it in real life

the unfortunate truth is that, when it comes to doing business with friends, you will either sink the friendship, sink the business, or both

i wish i had the microkernel design autism, but instead i got the pornography addiction and freaking out when my taxes aren't lining up over 8 dollars and 17 cents autism

when the 23:29 lightning bolt of inspiration hits, you can either choose to let your muse speak through you and create generational art, or you can forever fade into obscurity

@hazlin@shortstacksran.ch @icedquinn@blob.cat im just thinking in terms of effort. an experienced webdev can do it, or i could make it with ai, but i want to use it as a learning opportunity for webdev and all the messy parts that go into it. and in that sense it is a collosal undertaking on my part

@hazlin@shortstacksran.ch @icedquinn@blob.cat yes. the old shop app plotted out a path of where your package was, from origin to destination (of course, approximately by zip code). i want to make something like that but 3d on a globe, kinda how flighty on ios works, and also something that shows ALL of your packages and their paths at once, rather than just one. the tracking scraping is the easier part, and i know how i could do the backend. but i have literally 0 experience with webdev, like i can barely make a shitty html 1.0 website. which is why i wanna start with a simpler project, maybe even just writing the backend in whatever the popular alternative to node is nowadays with a basic frontend, and then iterating on top of that

@icedquinn@blob.cat i have long wanted to learn webdev for the completely unnecessary task of putting all my items in shipping on a 3d globe, just because i think it'll look cool. i am deranged and determined enough to actually commit to it, but i haven't found a simpler project that i am similarly passionate about to start off with first :(

@druid@princess.wedding i use kodi with real debrid for that. the sopranos was almost always cached and i could watch it whenever without downloading a thing. it was a bit finicky but it was great when i didn't want to take my laptop somewhere but still wanted to watch on my phone. im sure star trak is perpetually cached on services like that. but yeah, definitely get the blu rays. they're awesome collectibles in general 👀

@druid@princess.wedding i usually pirate my shows and then buy merch if i really like them. i enjoyed the sopranos so much that i got a few branded mugs as gifts :)

@r000t@ligma.pro that's the joke

something i will probably never quite get is boomers losing digital object permanence the moment they switch to another tab/program. i see it at work a lot: people signing up to our newsletter at 10:01am and then replying "i accept" to our sign-up email at 10:02am, not realizing that the previous page said "click on the link", as does the email they're reading. we get a few of these a month. i feel sorry for people that get filtered by a sign-up email. what do you even do with that knowledge

i really like cleaning the house. i also like cleaning up after ai tools when they make oopsies all over my codebase. truly, i am a janny at heart

i have a pimple on my head where my headphones usually sit. what the fuck, body. you couldn't have chosen any other spot??????

@whirly@netzsphaere.xyz being a fed is nice. you get a guaranteed pension, all sorts of cool benefits, a real union with some teeth, plenty of career advancement if you're ambitious enough. your school should have a career fair and there should be an fbi guy there, go talk to them :)

boss is finding out firsthand why every ai product includes an "ai makes mistakes" disclaimer. he inserted something into the database manually and wondered why it didn't show up on our dashboard. turns out the date was 2025, not 2026. he could have avoided that by using the dashboard instead of inserting an event manually, which checks for such silly mistakes. two lessons were learned: NEVER insert directly into the database, and include "ai makes mistakes" disclaimers in our upcoming product in a prominent place, not just in the corner with 30% transparent font

@lebronjames75@shitposter.world you have a penchant for not liking anime but being extremely anime adjacent at all times, it's very funny. i think this is why you're accused of being a weeb so much, you're naturally tuned into the culture

@whirly@netzsphaere.xyz forensic accounting is a thing, so is investigative accounting. just as creative people find loopholes in the tax system, the system will breed creative people to discover, catch, and prosecute them

@mer@yourwalls.today @lebronjames75@shitposter.world i think i agree with this. the problem is that there are essentially two sides of a "gooner". the one people outside the fetish think of most often is the negative side, which is associated with negative emotions, like avoidance of discomfort, stress relief, or emotional escape. essentially the classic emotion regulation/impulse control issue, but magnified onto a sexual scale. and to be fair, we gooners play into it a lot lmfao. however i believe that it is possible to goon responsibly ("ethical gooning" is a literal meme, not gonna even talk about it). what matters is the motivation behind it, whether sexual regulation "works" properly. as in using gooning to enhance sexual pleasure or as a framework to explore fantasies within. this also opens a whole can of worms: what is "working" sex regulation? is it the strict biological sense that your baby making neurons only light up when you're making babies? is it the physical sense that you can participate in coitus instead of replacing it with "solosex" (masturbation)? is it the social sense that you can adequately judge boundaries and not overstep them like a creep (admittedly, still learning on this one)? is it everything at once? personally i find it amusing that a fetish can elicit deep, philosophical conversations about the interactions of the nature of sexuality, society, and the self. but i think it's undeniable that gooning can turn into something more than a fetish, a sexuality upon itself. and this is the question lebron asks: is this sexuality the result of the evolutionary trap? i would say no. some people are content with being asexual, being gay but not having kids, etc etc. we do things that aren't advantageous to evolution all the time, what matters is whether these things can truly fulfill us or whether we will be left scarred from longing for something else. my 2c is that gooning is the sexuality for the modern age, where you are more than just a cog in the social machine. it's extremely individualistic and prioritizes absolute freedom. and because it is so new, it takes stumbling steps to learn what's acceptable to yourself/others and what's not. the end result is complete sexual liberation and freedom, the dissolution of the self, and an almost religious obsession with placing roots into the ground and finding out what you're truly happy with, away from social stereotypes or pressures. you are essentially breaking yourself down in order to build a new you, and we fetishize the breaking down aspect a lot because taboo = pp hard, but ultimately the goal is to surface back up, refreshed and content with the self. in that sense, gooning is the purest mirror. whatever you put into it is what you get out, and you have a limitless playground to pick and match whatever parts of your sexuality you want to embrace.

@a1ba@suya.place @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @mer@yourwalls.today but you made it work when i couldn't have at the time, and that made it special to me :)

@Economic_Hitman@shitposter.world they probably will. i know at least mormons are in the area for something like 2 years on their missions, so unless you're literally the last person, they (or whoever else in the future) will probably be back sometime
