Revealed Preferences

The other day I walked past a candy bowl at the office and just grabbed the first things that looked good. When I took them back to my desk, I noticed–well, here, I’ll just show you:

A Snickers, Reese's cup, and Mr. Goodbar, all mini-sized.

I mean, I knew I liked peanuts and chocolate, but I didn’t know I liked them this much…

What Are You up To?

Me? Oh, not much, just my normal, healthy coping mechanism of avoiding some minor task because I’m scared I won’t be able to do it well or complete it in time and I’ll fail everyone because I’m an awful person and then I avoid thinking about it because I feel guilty for avoiding it and that makes me even more terrified of doing it and then I avoid talking about it and put off the people who need me to get it done because I’m avoiding thinking about it and that makes me afraid of them and then I end up in a depression spiral because I’ve failed everyone and I’m an awful person and then the depression makes everything worse.

How about you?

Some Days You Wake up and Choose Violence

A "fun-size" Hershey's chocolate bar showing someone took a big bite out of it instead of breaking off the little pieces, like it's a banana or something, what kind of sicko does that??
Been feeling a little unhinged lately πŸ™ƒ

Do you think my razor needs replacing, maybe?

I Guess It Was Me

So, remember that missing “like” button I was talking about last week? Well…

The author scrolls through a WordPress article, then looks for the "like" button at the bottom, which is nowhere to be seen. Then he scrolls back up again, and a toolbar pops up prominently featuring said button. The author then proceeds to feel dumb.

Alternative Revenue Streaming

So… Do any of you know what the market is like right now for skinny, 37-year-old, slightly-queer camboys? Asking for a friend.

Design So Bad It’s Gaslighting

So there I am, reading someone else’s post on WordPress. I get to the bottom and start looking for the “like” button because I did, in fact, like it. I can see it’s been “liked” by about a hundred other people. I can even see which ones! And I can see that I’m logged in, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

And yet, there is no “like” button to be seen–no star, no heart, no thumbs-up, nothing. I look up. I look down. I look from side to side. It’s not anywhere!

I’m not sure if it’s me or the UI, but at least one of us is absolutely moronic.

Millennial Problems

I’ve gotten used to seemingly innocuous things making me feel old, but for some reason learning that the mayor-elect of New York City is younger than me hit especially hard.

An excerpt of the Wikipedia article for Zohran Mamdani. The phrase "first Millennial mayor-elect of New York City" is highlighted.
No. No. That’s not true. That’s impossible!

Mal-Come Again?

Over the years, there have been quite a few contenders for “worst misspelling of my name ever,” but this one’s just taken the top spot easily:

Spooky Scary Skeletons

I walked out the front door the morning after Halloween and saw this:

A small rock in a gravel lot, with black marks and a second, smaller rock below it that give it a striking resemblance to a skull.
πŸ’€

The black stuff was charred-on ash. Where did it come from? Not a clue.

Should I exorcise it or use it as a decoration?
