  • I read a post earlier tonight from tumbler that made me uncomfortably aware that I am naive when it comes to dog whistles and other subtleties people use to spread their hate. It laid out examples of things people are saying, and explained why they’re bad.

    I know I would find it helpful and educational to know where you’re coming from, and to see the examples you’re speaking about.









  • You know what else is overrun? Paywalls or other “requirements” where I need to signup and/or pay to access something that should be free.

    Don’t get me started on those fullscreen ad interstitials that force me to watch an ad I’m not interested in before I can continue either.

    Let’s face it, the Internet today fucking sucks and it’s partly to do with these so-called news outlets like the Atlantic.

    I miss the days when barely anyone heard of the web. Sure, it wasn’t as feature rich, but then again, those features are overly abused in the name of capitalism anyway. It’s like those strip malls that have nothing but shitty restaurants, nail salons, and tax preparers. Gone are the days of fun stores like hobby shops, comic book stores, local mom & pop toy stores.

    They just sucked the fun out of it all. 😡



  • You found an important bug in your short code plugin. Removing the line from .gitkeep is not actually the solution; it was a symptom of a much bigger and more dangerous problem: you are inadvertently including and parsing a file that is not intended to be a short code.

    You, or a crafty hacker, might one day create a file with code in it that should not be parsed as a short code, and not realize that it’s being done. You’re lucky that you’re the one who discovered this and not somebody else.

    The solution is the only parse the files that you need to parse. This means ignoring hidden files that begin with a dot. You might also think about creating a default ignore list for any other non-shortcode file that could exist.

    Very well put. I too have dysthymia. And unfortunately that “long-term functioning depression” can and does last for years on end. Not to mention that you can also suffer bouts of normal depression on top of the dysthymia depression. Double whammy, as it were.

    But yes, I’m pretty sure (at least for me) the only way that I seem to be able to produce dopamine involves food; the junkier the better, but healthy food is not the same. It’s probably the sugar that does it. I’ve noticed the longer I go without eating sugary foods, the worse my moods get.

    That video explains it very well. Thank you.

    I mean yes, change is hard and takes time and happens in sometimes-unnoticeable ways, but come on — throw me a bone and let me have something immediate to help keep motivating me toward the long-term change. If it were as simple as “keep doing it every day”, don’t you think I’d be doing that already?
