  • My phone (pixel 4a) is getting too fucked up to use. I could try replacing the screen and the battery, but not only is that a huge hassle and a rather risky operation, but the parts alone are more expensive than just getting a new phone. But I don’t want to get a new one because all new phones are so god damned huge. I have super long weird spider fingers, and the pixel 4a is already at the limit of what I would consider comfortable. mfs calling 6.3" “compact”. Who the fuck are these 6.7" monstrosities made for??? Who wants this shit??? What the fuck??? I fucking love all this freedom of choice and capitalist innovation we’re having. FUCK






  • Few things are as uninteresting as listening to someone else’s dream, but this one felt different. I had a scary realistic dream last night that the skyscrapers in Helsinki were destroyed by some kind of fucked up artillery shells that burned them to a husk in an instant, and only left the burned out skeleton of the buildings standing. It was during a fireworks display, and three of the boomy sounds were a lot more ominous and deep, and then a few moments later the shells came and hit the buildings at the same time.

    That was scary enough, but I remember being more scared about what the potential reaction will be. Everyone will blame the russians, of course. People were already frothing with bloodlust in the direct aftermath, including the friends I was with. That felt fucked up. But wait a minute, the shells clearly came from the northwest? And why did I hear the artillery firing? Must have been fairly close, how would the russians have gotten there? This was obviously planned to coincide with the fireworks to, idk, mask the sounds? Then I woke up relieved as heck that it was only a dream. Not looking particularly much forward to when this kind of scenario inevitably plays out in the not-too-distant future.






    • Beat my PR in deadlifts! First time in my life I’ve moved that much weight in any context. Hell yeah dude.

    • Swapped the rear cassette and put the summer tires on my nice cool fast bike because most of the snow and ice is gone now. It’s so smooth and fast and fun now. Hell yeah dude.

    • Finally took the time to grind out some right foot bass pedal technique. Drums are too much fun, there’s gotta be some kind of catch or horrible, unforeseen downside to this. Hell yeah dude.

    • Took a couple of weeks off from work because I was starting to burn out a little bit. Feeling a lot better now. Even got paid while I was away. Hell yeah dude.

    • Started working on an old game idea I had a couple of years ago, and it’s going really god damn well. I’m using Godot, it’s quite nice these days, and I am a 100× better programmer now than I was back then so I’m having a blast. It’s gonna be a Mario Kart-esque game about going to the supermarket. Hell yeah dude.
