One of the things that's hardest for me to cope with is being gentle with myself while I'm learning. I expect everything to come quickly and it frustrates me no end when it takes longer than I think it should, especially when I'm doing something creative that I want to look good out of the gate.

Folks call this "permission to suck" but it goes even deeper than that. It's more like "permission to move at your own pace and still suck".

@davidrevoy Oh, I like! This is exciting. :)

@kot Oh I've had first-hand experience with that. But things that I thought were unimpeachably good somehow have figured out how to disappoint me.

TFW you're so far behind on upgrading your main desktop machine that Ubuntu's ESM makes sense.

(Don't judge me)

It's like finding out that your childhood crush is actually a horrible person and, spoiler alert, was never the person you thought they were.

Apparently my childhood favorites are just a checklist of things that have become corrupted over the years by corporate greed.

Hoping we can do better for the next few generations, because frankly I'm getting tired of having to put qualifiers on things that I liked.

@Greg I'll bring the firestarters.

Movies by decade:

1960s: look at this spectacle
1970s: look at these effects
1980s: look at this story
1990s: look at this CGI
2000s: everything you know is a lie
2010s: look! It's that thing you liked as a child

@Ahuka I think that's what I'm trying to say; just a small event set in motion a large cascade of things that were only obvious in retrospect.

@Ahuka Oh I know, but we've also been laying the groundwork for a massive blow-up for decades. I listened to Hardcore History's build up to WW1 (and the rest of the podcast) and it painted a lot of parallels from then to today. I'm just wondering what it will take to set the chain reaction.

Shout out to the Hilton Hotels rewards system for sending me a user number that rivals an international phone number as an image.

I might forgive it if it actually didn't look like 1990s "we can't format shit on the internet".

Hire a designer. And an a11y expert.

Remember, kids, all it took for WW1 to start was a measly assassination of a royal heir:

@HackerRadioShow @Rob_T_Firefly @TheGibson @djsundog Well, when folks are paying extra to have the radio removed from their vehicles maybe they'll figure out that what folks really want is diametrically opposed to what these conglomerates are shoveling out. But they haven't learned with Jack stations and they haven't learned with ratings that rival a weak podcast audience so w/e.

@Rob_T_Firefly @TheGibson @HackerRadioShow @djsundog Pretty sure the ideal radio station for corporate radio shit-stains is a one-room studio with transmitters all over the world, playing ads. And that room maintains itself.
