  • 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.


  • I offer a compromise of using python’s requests library. It’s got most of the listed benefits, but I like python better than shell scripting.

    It’s weird that I’ve been seeing job posts that list postman as a required skill. It’s not great.

    I did use “Bruno” for a while to have a GUI for making requests. It was fine.




  • 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.
