PETTY GRIPE

an adult in front of me on the plane is watching tiktok videos, unmuted, loud enough that i can hear them

before takeoff, an airline attendant notices this and tells her to turn the volume off or use headphones

she does so

...for a while

plane is in the air

she's watching videos again

i can hear them

after a few minutes i lean forward and say "hey, i think maybe your headphones got unplugged?" because (1) maybe that DID happen, & she didn't notice, i've had that happen before, and (2) yes it's an-attempt-at-subtly-saying "mute your fucking phone" but. the polite version. since i don't want to pick a fight on a plane yaknow.

she says "oh i don't have headphones"

that's... that's the entirety of what she says

she continues watching videos loudly

????

am i fucking crazy. that's rude on her part right. do we not have a social norm against watching random shit on your phone without headphones. what even

made some banana bread yesterday and i think this is the best reward/effort ratio of anything i've cooked in a long time. FUCK fancy dishes in the nyt cooking section; now "basic bitch-ass recipe with 4.7+ stars on allrecipes.com" is my best friend

whole lotta op-eds kicking around lately that are like "based on my understanding of the notoriously hard EASY problem of consciousness,,,..." and uhhhh. i'm not tremendously impressed by just about anyone expressing a viewpoint in any direction with that particular framing tbh

Build the ultimate NBA all-time team and see if you can go 82-0

okay this little webgame is really fun. build an NBA team; each round they randomize which decade + team you can pick from; then it runs some model to determine how good you did

my first effort:

#sportsball #seasonally appropriate basketball blogging #basketball #nba

because of my continued interest in The Show In Which The Therapist Guy Is Sad And Also Terrible, i started peeking at the subreddits where therapists talk shop about their jobs, and

man. what a bleak profession. not because of the work itself, just—the billing codes and the dogshit pay and the caseloads-commanded-from-on-high and totally-loosey-goosey standards for evidence, etc, no fucking wonder so many flee to private practice & don't take insurance if they can at all help it

like, here's a guy whose employer sure seems like they're trying to get him to do insurance fraud, which is bad enough, but also: ahgeilahgleia i'm imagining having to keep track of an eight minute difference in session length to avoid Charging The Wrong Code and the part of my soul that abhors micromanagement is like ahhhhh

#caveat: yes yes i understand many professions are like this #and billing by the minute isn't THAT unusual #(and i know e.g. medical doctors are increasingly under pressure like this too)#but. just feels galling to read it in this context somehow

sometimes... it really is shitty python & bash scripts all the way down, huh
