Hoo boy, JD Vance is achieving *EPIC* levels of dumbass. It’s pretty amazing to see.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Unrelatedly - I have run out of usable brain for today and decided what I want for dinner (did I use up my last working neurons think about what to eat for my next meal? Maybe!) but I'm supposed to work for the next hour and a half. Woes.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Vibe coding sounds like something an evil scientist would do. “Bwah ha ha! Quick! Let us code the vibe mechanism and bend the population’s intuitive state to our will!”
I had to go to the office yesterday to pick up a newer shredder and have my three month evaluation. My manager is pretty happy with me, so I feel a bit more comfortable updating LinkedIn and whatnot. The drive is 1.5 hours each way, and having to be social and on for dozens strangers for 8 hours was pretty draining. They all seem quite nice, but it’s a lot. On the upside, it was the monthly birthday celebration, so there was cake. On the downside, cake turned into networking? With people discussing golf? One of the auditors is a bit of a silver fox, though, and he sent me a teams message with a grammatical question later, so I guess I made a good impression.
