Bro it’s like the silence that ensues when people ask you about your hobbies

Whereas Grant is off doing something else

Yes, emotional soup is what I’m going to be calling my internal state from now on

Me!

Me when I lid:

The longer you don’t respond the more daunting it gets

I wish people just came and saw me in person

AI is going to make this so much worse. It can make unlimited fake news including photo and video ‘evidence’. And everyone can have their own to fit their preferred personal narrative. We truly do live in times.

I’m not sure they even have noses

Actually I think we need to put it in a pot on tables next to the salt and pepper

It’s so cost effective too. You only need a few grains for it to make a difference

Those buggers must be filthy rich

Thank you for all this work. These sound great!

Did I understand correctly that you are working on tag and multi community support then?

Ah, that’s what that symbol was for

Fail. Didn’t try hard enough

Why is he giving such Jerry Seinfeld vibes in this pic

Seeing as software dev is full of stubborn, opinionated autists (might be projecting a bit here hehe) I’m not at all surprised

She’s not gay, she’s just Nicole, the Fediverse Chick!

I believe Sisiphean is the word

“that didn’t land right, go back and fix it”

Yes, I engaged in this a bit when I was pre-teen, but fortunately the thoughts disappeared once I started ignoring them. My brother has a really extreme, debillitating version of this where he gets stuck on almost anything and it ends up taking him 5x as long as a normal person.

• Keeps tightening his seatbelt in the car
• Closes the door several times
• Tries to place food perfectly in his mouth to eat it
• Placing pencils/cutlery down just right (the noise of this gets really annnoying)
• Repeats sitting down to land just right
• After brushing teeth, needs to drink from the tap in just the right way, tap ends up running for 5 minutes
• Used to have auditory ticks that satisfy this sensation (I used to have these too so I know what it feels like)

Poor guy doesn’t have the mental strength or mindfulness to push back against it. My country is backwards on mental health and doctors haven’t been able to tell us what it is but we suspect it’s some form of OCD. I on the other hand seem(?) to be lightly AuDHD.
