  • Its putting me off learning to code properly if anything. I’m cripplingly thin-skinned so until recently I only had to deal with elitism from people who already know what they’re doing. You ask for help and instead of showing you what is wrong, or give you advice on what to learn first, they just rip you apart using words you’ve never heard before.

    Now you’ve got people on the other end of the scale looking down their nose at your puny creation. Not because they know the answer to your problem, but because you spent all week trying to do that and they did in 2 minutes bro.



  • For me, i was raised religious. Fully believed it all because I was a child and the idea that its all a con was way beyond my capabilities. Got a little older, family fell apart and religion stopped being shoved down my throat.

    Decided to read the bible so I could understand the whole story instead of just being lectured about a couple of paragraphs plucked at random.

    God creates everything and then straight up fireballs everyone to death in the first like 5 minutes of reading. Ive been taught since birth that God loves us. Been drilled into my head that God has a perfect plan. Chapter fucking one God says whoops and does a genocide.

    I did not finish the book.












  • I admit I have a pretty juvenile understanding of economics. I meant the sewers still worked, the health care system mostly still worked even while overrun, trains still ran fine, food and supplies stabilised after the original panic-buying fuckup.

    The fact that I personally didnt die was a bonus I’ll grant you that.


  • Remember when covid happened and everyone had to stop working? Well not everyone, just everyone with bullshit jobs.

    Everything was basically fine. The only real problems as far as i could tell were that we all thought we were going to die and were scared to go near our grandparents incase we killed them, and some lines stopped going up.

    I wish we could do it again, share the “real jobs” out amongst everyone so we only had to work a couple days a week, only this time we can also not be terrified of apocalypse-movie scale of death.




  • If its a game that appears on gamepass I probably feature in those stats. I dont have the time/attention span for a big epic game any more, so I’ll play it for a little while and when its obvious the scope is outside of my capabilities I just drop it. RDR2 I dropped as soon as I got past the prologue and into the camp. It showed me the size of the map, and then all the little fetch quests you’d need to reshoe your horse, and you need to keep your camp stocked with food, and I just said nope.

    I’ll also drop games if they don’t feel “unique” enough. This is pretty subjective and open to hypocrisy on my part. I gave up on Hogwarts Legacy after the first fight. I was excited for Bully or Skool Daze in a magical world, but it was just assassin’s creed with magic wands.
