    We have a movement in Canada called “Every Child Matters” due to indigenous history. The most annoying thing to experience is the same idiots who complain about BLM commenting on this one. “Black Lives Matter? What the hell dude, ALL lives matter!” then 5 minutes later saying “Every Child Matters? No shit, what a stupid movement name!” Can’t win with these folks.



  • Logically speaking, I would sit with the wolf pack. Airline seatbelts are not made for wolves and I fully believe they would not be held by such paltry restraints. This leads me to the conclusion that my demise is not only certain, but an inevitability. With this in mind I would much rather be the first victim, for my death will be quicker while they are hungrier, and I shall save myself the mental trauma of seeing them devour the poor linux user before I reach my untimely end.


  • They’re called Lego pieces or just “Lego”, not “Legos”. It is the official way to say it, but more importantly I got used to it while growing up. I would always say “Lego ___”, for instance Lego sets, Lego bricks, Lego pieces: “Pass me the Lego brick.” The only time I would say “Lego” is as a group: “Bring the Lego upstairs.” Everytime I hear “Legos” my eye twitches because it sounds so wrong. Not sure where I picked this up but I will die on this hill.






  • I have a bad habit of jumping into programming without a solid plan which results in lots of rewrites and wasted time. Funnily enough, describing to an AI how I want the code to work forces me to lay out a basic plan and get my thoughts in order which helps me make the final product immensely easier.

    This doesn’t require AI, it just gave me an excuse to do it as a solo actor. I should really do it for more problems because I can wrap my head better thinking in human readable terms rather than thinking about what programming method to use.








  • Yes. Also, you can shuffle playlists. Anyway, I have about ~40 current playlists, not counting sub-sets, out of which I use 5-10 day-to-day. They’re basically genre/mood tags but I don’t want to clutter up my entire library with fake genres so playlists it is.

    I used to run a single playlist, essentially just my entire library, but the issue with that is I would be skipping songs constantly and it would jump from upbeat to sad to energetic to slow… it got old. Now, if I’m feeling in a rave mood I put on that playlist. Pop? Got it. Angry, sad, EDM, synthwave, swing, phonk, metal, hip-hop… the list goes on but I’ve got playlists for 'em and I don’t want to listen to each of them every day or at the same time. If I am feeling multiple I just queue up multiple on shuffle. It’s allowed me to be a lot more adventurous in my music taste by separating out the rare listens for only when I need them. Keeps me from getting bored of them.
