If you're here to argue with me, go elsewhere. (he/him)

Hi, it's Hulu - I know you just watched seven episodes of that show. Which show? We know, but we're not going to put it up front and center. Happy hunting!
I need to create a holiday that is exclusively about relaxation. No cooking for a bunch of people.
You simply pay homage my taking naps. Maybe you are only asked to buy a new pillow, pajamas, or blanket to honor the occasion.
Company is strictly optional.
Instead of seeing "This Tweet is unavailable." on the web, I would like to see one of the following:
"You blocked them, save yourself"
"They blocked you, save your time"
"This tweet was deleted, don't bother looking"
IDK if I said this before, but one benefit of working from home is being able to say "What the *fuck*, man!" in exasperation when you read an email/slack message.
Then responding professionally, as usual.
Today, we go visit a dog that we can adopt. I haven't been this excited about anything this year. Fingers crossed we come home with this pup. We couldn't sleep cause we're so amped.
Good morning.
The funniest thing is all these other generations are constantly asking Gen X to do a lot of unpaid work and then they're getting upset when we are collectively like "nah".

This thread solidifies that a lot of us are sounding like the paranoid aunts and uncles we know.
However, I'm not ready to go to a DNA testing service yet.
One thing about covid: after slowing down or stopping the normal routine, many of us have been able to reevaluate so much. Our relationship to our jobs, in society at large and our roles in it, our happiness.
And that makes lots of people really upset.
Everyone says "teach kids how to code". I want people to teach kids how to solve problems.
A kid in my building just tried to move a shopping cart down two flights of stairs.
The elevator works JUST FINE. He didn't even think about the elevator.
Serious question: Where did this notion come from that all our grandmas & great grandmas was married and miserable?
Where did this notion come from they were diminished and oppressed by their husbands?
A phlebotomist tried to use the non-approved arm, and she had to bring someone else in to get it right.
Now I tell them "just use the left, no one has success on the right, it's not a badge of honor"
Parents will say some shit that'll cut you to the bone, call your anger disrespectful, then wonder why you don't come around as often.
Also? They're oblivious and loathe to apologize when you bring up their hurtful deeds and statements.
WHEW.
I don't like calling people on Sunday.
I don't like calling people before 11am.
I don't like calling people late.
I don't like calling people, ever, really.

Most of my code belongs to the clients I work on (and then my employer) - I cannot post the code I work on ANYWHERE without risk of termination.

one of my favorite podcasts was like "that racism was so strong that they didn't even share it with rich black people" and I couldn't disagree
Every time an entertainer dies, someone will tweet "Y'all really watched <show> for real?"
Some of us aren't twelve years old, man. We didn't always have a hundred (or a thousand) cable channels.
If someone invites me to their house for dinner and sends me a request to pay them, I'll counter with a request for gas and mileage, then block them everywhere online.
My new year's resolution for you is to not quote tweet people with shitty or ignorant opinions.
I didn't follow those people for a reason, and here you go bringing the trash in the house. Why?
No one tells you that when you get older, you can't sneak around or try to walk quietly around your house. My ankle and knee keep popping. I'd be the worst criminal of all time.
It's wild to me that WCAG lays out bare minimums for accessibility and so many designers and developers have to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the bare minimum to make the web work for disabled people.
And then they'll be proud of it.
