Capitalism is a game where only a few people get to win....

it has been a pretty quiet week, although there was excellent schadenfreude yesterday from Ron Desantis dropping out

I’m trying to get accustomed to writing asynchronous/concurrent Rust or any language!...

I made a post on r/civ (Civilization games subreddit) showing a really funky shaped randomly generated river I saw and most comments were fine but one guy was convinced that I went through the comparatively monumental effort of opening the map editor and changing the river for karma, as opposed to just starting the game and...

Watching the drama around kagi unfold and it has me wondering how much you take into consideration a creator’s view on things like homophobia, sexism, racism, etc. when deciding to use a product. I think most of us have a bar somewhere (I would imagine very few on this website would ever consider registering on an altright...

currently on book 4 for the year (goal of 40)

What are your favorite charities? What do you regularly give to? I have some empty space in my “secular tithing” budget that I’m looking to fill in.

I’m at the limit of survival, which is not ideal. By this, I mean I have no income, no financial support, and my van doesn’t start. This last bit turbocharges the first. If I can’t shower, I can’t go into an interview....

it’s week 2 of 2024 and Holy Fuck Is It Windy Out There right now, oh god

welcome to the new age

Over the years I’ve been trying to encapsulate, as simply as possible, what Beehaw interactions would look like ideally....

I’m drunk. My partner deleted what I originally wrote. It was about how fallible we humans are to put it nicely. Regardless of our failings which we know we have, I really wish y’all as great a 2024 as we can manage. At the very least I hope we can have a better year. I won’t be forgetting any auld acquaintances. Have a...

it’s a special Christmas/New Years edition of the Beehaw weekly thread! post all the shenanigans you’re up to

I was just running through these, and, I think they’re rather illuminating....

I was talking with a friend today about Hallmark movies because we all seem to have at least one grandma who loves them around this time of year, and we’re hashing out the tropes they all share because they’re so formulaic that you could probably boil it down to a mad libs prompt, and something dawned on me because of one...

i am currently munching on a foot long sub and beginning the latest Native map update

If there’s one phrase that has echoed in the back of my mind, it’s that I have no family, and by that I mean no children or spouse - and I’m middle aged....

I worked for many years (hundreds of hours) locating, remastering and uploading content for a fan-based YouTube channel named ‘R.E.M. Archive’. I did 99% of the work and was happy to do this for the huge fan base. I believe the channel existed for about 6 years or so....

just finished part one of my latest big project. not much to report; this has kept me very busy for the past week and change

Anyone recommend any good discord servers for chat/gaming?...

Everywhere you browse, people have such strong opinions about everything and are so toxic or extremely negative. You start playing a game, want to check the forums or something and most of the posts are people being mean to each other. You open social media to keep in touch with people that you’d like to maintain a certain...

hello! this is just a thing i’d like to personally note. it speaks for myself, and where it does not expresses sentiments we’ve already placed somewhere else. this is not a moderator document or anything, and it will not be stickied....

I got diagnosed with a fragrance allergy recently. I break out in hives on my face. My doctor gave me back my allergy results and told me I had to cut all scented things out, from cleaners, to soaps, to shampoos, detergents, whole nine yards. I was crushed at first, because I liked my scented soaps and dryer sheets....
