Slamming Windows

I think my favorite thing about MS Windows is when you can’t do anything with a file or folder because “it is open in another program,” but it won’t say which program. That’s the best!

The Realest Struggle?

It’s hard to say what the most difficult part of parenting is overall; there are so many challenges to choose from. I don’t think I’d trade anything I’m dealing with now for having to change diapers again, but with my oldest not too far from entering her tweens, I’m not sure how long that sentiment will last. However, I think I’ve been a parent long enough to know what the most intellectually…

No Representation Without Taxation

Happy birthday, USA! Please don’t die. Here’s an idea: you know how the US Revolution started with “No taxation without representation?” Why don’t we try enforcing the inverse, too? I mean, if someone doesn’t pay what they’re worth in taxes, they shouldn’t be able to lobby or vote either, right? …Right???

Thanks, Toby!

I just found out this morning that my prediction for Deltarune Chapter 5’s release date was partly right: it was indeed announced last-minute. Fifteen days prior, to be exact. That was fifteen days ago, by the way. Meaning it releases today. On– My? BIRTHDAY??? What! So… Happy birthday to me, apparently! Best birthday surprise ever! I’m just gonna go turn off the internet for a couple months…

Thanks, Toby!

Me: “All right, feeling good! Looking forward to locking in and getting some serious work done 😎” My coworkers: *immediately gather around my cubicle to loudly socialize* My family: “When are we going to see you again??” My watch: “It’s literally 4:30 pm, bro” Me: “FFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffff”

Who Am I Really?

I do my best to be self-aware, but it’s kind of hard to tell whether it’s working. Self-improvement has always felt important to me. Growth mindset and all; if there’s something I can do to make myself a better person, why wouldn’t I do it? Maybe there are some improvements that wouldn’t be worth the difficulty, or that I’d have to put off for later, but I’d at least want to know about them. So…

Midterm Predictions

Democrats will win back the majority in the House and Senate. Democrats will not gain enough seats for the supermajority required to override a presidential veto. The House will once again impeach President Trump, and the Senate will once again fail to convict. President Trump will veto nearly every piece of legislation that hits his desk. The few exceptions will either include significant…

If a civil engineer started building a bridge meant to carry a couple hundred cars a day, then said there was a 5% chance the bridge might collapse, they would be fired on the spot and the bridge torn down the next day. If your bank offered you a new, high-interest savings account, but warned you there was a 5% chance all the money in it might vanish without warning and without hope of recovery,…
