  • I empathize with this even as a highly computer literate person who works in tech. I turn 40 this year, and when I’m off the clock, I need to read books, touch grass, and live my life as if I don’t know how computers work.

  • Maybe a capybara. Here’s me dying when I met some.

  • Do any of you actually call your cats by their names?

    Jump

  • I call my cat by his name (and sing songs with his name substituted into the lyrics) all the time.

    He’s deaf.

    What does the confederate flag mean to you?

    Jump

  • Losers.

  • What is your "great I am an old person now" complaint?

    Jump

  • I woke up this morning barely able to walk on my left foot. No idea what happened to it, was fine yesterday.

  • When I worked for a large company, they flew our software development team from Seattle to their financial HQ to kick off a project rebuilding their internal expensing software. We showed up in the usual worn band t-shirts/ripped jeans, most of us tatted up. The receptionist called security on our lead developer because she thought he was a homeless person who got into the building.

  • Anyone else spending Christmas alone?

    Jump

  • Obviously a privileged position, but I wish I were.

  • At your age, what surprises you the most about yourself?

    Jump

  • Same. I turn 40 next year, and remember my dad at that age, but still feel like a kid.

  • Happy Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for?

    Jump

  • I’m thankful I’m dog sitting tomorrow so I have an excuse to keep my family time to a minimum.

  • Do you sing to your pet or have other silly interactions with them?

    Jump

  • I absolutely sing to my deaf cat.

  • Made a Costco run and couldn’t help myself.

    Jump

  • No, thankfully he’s been pretty healthy overall. He had bad infections in both of his eyes when I adopted him, but those are since healed up and he has relatively wide nostrils for a Persian, so we’re looking good.

  • Made a Costco run and couldn’t help myself.

    Jump

  • Same! I adopted him from a rescue that specializes in Persians and Himalayans because they end up in rescue situations so often.

    Is it normal not to care about anyone?

    Jump

  • I do care about people, but I have to admit the only time I cry is when their pets die.

  • What ruins porn videos for you?

    Jump

  • I was going to simply reply “audio.” I watch them all on mute at this point.

  • Master vs main (again)

    Jump

  • I’m fairly confident the random branches I spin off to try out a dumb idea are not equal to main.

  • Which would you pick?

    Jump

  • Books and pumpkins for me.

    Is fediverse turning into reddit?

    Jump

  • We are not related.

  • Washington city officials are using ChatGPT for government work

    Jump

  • So, AI.

  • Good audiobooks

    Jump

  • Project Hail Mary was my first thought when I read “audiobooks” and “sci-fi”. Not only is there an aspect to the story that lends itself particularly well to the audiobook format, but the narrator (Ray Porter) is so good I’ve sought out other books he’s narrated.

  • Microsoft mandates a return to office, 3 days per week

    Jump

  • We’ve looked at how our teams work best, and the data is clear: when people work together in person more often, they thrive — they are more energized, empowered, and they deliver stronger results.

    Would be interested in seeing that data.
