can we all agree to stop doing 'ugly sweaters' this year? they were only funny when worn unironically or out of obligation

also, for the younger people, middle-aged folks are going to make jokes about "cyber monday" because in the earlier days of the internet "cyber" meant something different.

i want to teach them how to use the tools at their disposal to fix their situation. or, to recognize when it’s not fixable. then decide; is this transient? do i need help? or just deal with it.

i’m frustrated when they complain, e.g. that the car we’re riding in is just too warm or too cold. take off your coat? or put it on. adapt.

ah, to teach my kids that we live in a climate that is inhospitable to mankind and the only way we survive is to build bulwarks of technology to protect us from relentless nature

drop a piece of lettuce on the floor, cats act like you’re trying to poison them. let them near houseplants and they think it’s some sort of buffet.

it's also shameful that i own a car that i'm still making payments on, that is functionally powered by buggy closed-source software that the manufacturer has no intention of ever fixing. i can't even choose to pay for a hardware+software upgrade path.

i had a good idea!

is it really a good idea though? i mean, have we thought about the possible downsides or repercussions?

Sunday night and now I know

Distant highway din
Leaky roof my doubt drips in
And as the streetlights and my prospects dim
She turns in bed and thinks of him

I have to say that I have basically moved on from half-life. In a lot of ways half life is quite adolescent. It’s very linear, not quite a hallway, but very non-deterministic. Small choice of weapons, very few complexities to master.
