  • My favorite encore might be one time I saw Sincere Engineer. Someone in the audience shouted "play corn dog sonnet!. That’s one of their “hits” as far as small bands go.

    But the band had already played it earlier in the set, and said so. The audience person shouted back “I was late! I missed it!”

    The singer went, “well, I guess we could play it again if everyone wants to hear it again”

    The crowd cheered , so they played it again.



  • given democracy doesn’t work when people vote based on vibes or propaganda feels.

    Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of people are primarily vibes driven. Everyone is, in some cases or other. For example, a lot of otherwise reasonable people will flip their shit if you suggest eating less meat for environmental or animal welfare reasons. You just get excuses and variations of “but i like it” and “but i’m a good person”.

    I would not be surprised if my old coworker-friends started a separate group chat without me after the nth, “Maybe you should come to one of these protests” and “Please at least read the wikipedia summary on this historical topic before you start going off about it” message from me.

    They’re fine people but they’re also kind of very… apolitical.

    I pretty much wash as needed.

    Need a fork? Take out of sink, wash it.

    Need a bowl? Take out of sink, wash it.

    Need more room in sink? Take stuff out of sink and wash until there’s room

    Works pretty well. Never really have a big stack up in the sink. Throws me off when guests come over and just grab stuff out of the cabinets and drawers like normal people, though.





  • Some months ago I was giving a coworker shit for not doing much of anything. No protests. No volunteering. No donations. Just works his mid six figure job, plays video games, and dates his works-at-google girlfriend. He admitted maybe he could do more. I said I could nag him the next time a big protest happened. He said sure.

    Well, I messaged him with a quote from that conversation. He was like “oh it’s Saturday?” And then no further responses until I followed up a day later. He’s not going to do anything.

    The other guys from that group also don’t do anything.

    Something about rich white straight (-passing) men comfortably just keeping their heads down and not even doing a half assed minimum bothers me.

    But I guess there’s nothing to be done. I’ll be doing my best.




  • I think there’s a certain kind of user who doesn’t really learn concepts, but rote actions. They click the start menu and then excel to open excel, but they don’t really understand that the start menu is an application launcher and Excel is an application that can be opened in other ways. It’s very one dimensional.

    Then when something changes, like the application launcher is moved, they freak out. They don’t have a mental model.

    That’s how my mother is, anyway. It’s all magic with no underlying coherent anything. Not sure how to fix that, because it usually comes up when they’re mad or scared, and that’s not a time anyone will learn.
