@mikesusz
also yeah i’m sorry - general insecurity hasn’t been part of my “brand” before, but i just had a meeting where i decided i’m a flawed human being in need of some communication outlet to relate to my fellow humans and the “unfollow” button is available from my profile if needed

and the worse part is there are probably 20 reasons and i can’t only think of 10 that’s why i’m incompetent. anyway. thanks for letting me rant.
mike susz
@mikesusz
maybe i need to start recording a podcast every night called “i’m thinking of 10 reasons i can be fired tomorrow” it will be a great companion for my other podcasts “why i can’t sleep at night” and “i’m a huge fraud” sorry just thinking out loud here

the ‘AI’ we have: facebook shows me ads based upon stuff i search for already
the AI we want: i’m in my 40s so my smart watch should see me reaching for a box of triscuits after 9pm and deliver an electric shock to prevent me from ingesting that much sodium and ruining my sleep

update: i took the bathroom scale downstairs and these two pieces of equipment total over 116lbs. probably more valuable as scrap metal than electronics recycling

@mikesusz
also, a life pro-tip: recycle your old computers while you're still able to lift them 🤣

@mikesusz
this is a Compaq ML350 G1 w/SCSI backplane. if you bought coffee at a popular coffee restaurant in the early 2000s, your transaction may have gone through this computer (disks were wiped when i purchased it)

we've been disgusted by the full-screen billboard ads on our @DIRECTV pause screens, and their recent aggressive sales calls. trying out hulu but we can't seem to control bandwidth on our DSL connection, live streams just die randomly.

world mental health day... this time i'd like to appeal to everyone who is not struggling. allow people latitude, assume that everyone you meet has a challenge that you cannot see. you can help them by giving them room. give them the benefit of the doubt.

pro tip for anyone who makes HR changes or decisions about the allocation of responsibility: be transparent with all parties affected, some folks (hI!) take a lot more psychological damage when they see "things changing" but nobody brought them into the loop
