\*cough\* No, I’m not trying to get your attention. I just have green phlegm in my lungs, that’s all.

@deepend We here in the twtxt universe are too Calm™ for the birdsite. Its dramas — which are neverending — do not concern us. Its madness is not our own. Isn’t it a great feeling to be separate from all that?
Still making Quake maps? Consider making one titled “feed your vore fetish”, where you fight only vores, the four-legged zero-eyed spider things that fling you-seeking purple exploding boogers
One day, I’ll find out when lunch will make me sleepy and when it won’t. Today is not that day.
TF2 had an achievement called “Ubi concordia, ibi victoria”. After hearing that Eris has a counterpart, I’m wondering what an achivement called “Ubi discordia, ibi victoria” would be like.

help I’m trying to get to sleep and I have hiccups
I seem to have way more ideas for things I want to write when I’m out and about than when I’ve got some time to write at the end of the day. I think this has been going on for months with multiple thoughts I’ve had.
Don’t you hate it when you try to get to Inbox Zero, make it to Inbox Three, and then by week’s end you’ve got even more messages that you can’t get out of your inbox permanently?
Briefly tempted to post here as a simple read-until-this-point marker.
@niplav Do you have a particular meaning in mind for “long site”, or do you mean all the possible meanings for “long site”?
@niplav and I thought evidentials were invented by the Lojban people or maybe North American amerinds, not Eastern Europeans
@niplav I have a favorite line of prose written around here somewhere but it’s only understandable by a tiny slice of gamers with literal-Boomer media sensibilities. Posting it would break the Internet.
Old: losing weight by playing Dance Dance Revolution. Bold: losing weight by dancing to the elevator music in The Stanley Parable.
It’s Earth Day today. Sure they’re not as important, but we should also have days for all the other planets, too.
I added pointlessArgument: 'is a taco a sandwich' to a pile-of-arguments object today
@niplav most of what I see on LW doesn’t seem to be at all related to the theory and practice of rationality, so meditation woo on the EA forum sounds about par for the course
@niplav Regarding Conway’s Game of Life: If everything is deterministic, then what is chaos?
@niplav 3½ hours a week…closing your 30-minute Exercise ring right on the dot, with no extra time?
OK, I’m loosening up. Now I’m listening to tracks number 3–10, too.
It’s a “put Moon Safari’s ‘La Femme D’Argent’ on loop tape” kind of day
Trying to get down to Reading List Zero before I need to go back to work next year. The latest to be removed from the list because I read the thing: https://ngnghm.github.io/
I’m starting to think that calorie counting is more effective as a weight-loss tool if you count the calories _before_ you put them in your mouth, especially when it comes to desserts you may not need.
Someone’s BBQing near me. It smells heavenly.
I haven’t had Taco Bell in years
My BO this morning smells like Taco Bell
Realization of the day: I had no idea CFAR was a pun.
To a first approximation, emoji are Lojbanic attitudinals for normal people.
One step forward: skipping the extra quesadilla at lunch. Two steps back: supplementing lunch with the entirety of a milk-chocolate bar (960 calories) that was at the absolutely most perfect temperature, and washing it down with about a cup of milk, maybe more. One step forward: burning 800 calories by walking an hour on a treadmill.
This page I’m writing sure flowed and chunked a lot better when it was keeping me awake for an hour in the middle of the night BEFORE I got out of bed.
The last post notwithstanding, please don’t drink and drive. Or drink and vote. Or drive and vote.
Jokes about Starbucks’ drink-size names are old enough to drink, drive, and vote by now, but calling the 30-oz. size “trenta” is probably the least dumb name in the history of names for sizes
I typed in “trenta” (Starbucks for “XL”) into my iPhone and it didn’t recognize it as a real word. Does Apple not understand its primary audience?
The zoom lens is 3x? Good.
I could use the macro photography sometimes.
ProMotion: Handy, but I don’t need it.
ProMotion: Handy, but I don’t need it.
…“with censorship OAS”? Did I hear that right?
More battery life? Always nice.
Cinematic Mode: not something I need, but super-neat.
Jiggle protection from iPhones Max now migrates down to normal iPhones and iPhones mini. Nice!
So what can we use with more space up top? Showing the “Syncing…” indicator instead of shoving it off to the other screen?
Workouts to get you ready to ski? That’s…interesting. Not something I need, but it’s definitely interesting.
Jeff Williams looks 15 years older than when I last saw him. What happened to the guy?
Nice to see the Touch ID home button isn’t dead in the iPad.
You miss Apple livestream tweeting? DON’T WORRY I GOTCHU AGAIN FAM
The ecstasy of having glasses-free vision is only matched by the complete and total relief that comes with removing rigid gas-permeable contacts. It’s like buying and selling a boat every day of your life.
@niplav artistry, or is this some kind of guitar thing?
One thing that I have to recalculate somewhat frequently is “Do I have any friends in New York?”. New Yorkers tend to drift in and out of my life at a fairly frequent clip and it’s not always easy remembering whom it wouldn’t be weird to say “I’ll be in town for a few days; wanna meet up?” to
Sometimes you’re the good son, sometimes you’re the wicked son, sometimes you’re the simple son, and sometimes you’re the son who doesn’t even know how to ask a question.
Pressed C-t (transpose) for the second time ever today.
Idea for a bio: “I like good things and dislike bad things. Also, I dislike some good things and like some bad things.”
In case you were wondering, AirPods Pro are unable to cancel noise that comes from inside your head, like from an electric toothbrush.
. o O (cat /usr/share/dict/words | egrep "^f.{2}k\$") @niplav so…you like to fink?

halp i want to listen to music but my ears are tired what do
@niplav interesting, it seems like you uploaded at least two weeks worth of posts sometime between yesterday and right now
Wanted to eat, didn’t eat, got distracted, now I don’t want to eat anymore. Win!
Calm-computing tip: While ⌥⌘H may clear off a lot of clutter, sometimes you want just one non-full-screened window. Consider making a new Space, moving that window into it, and enjoying its unclutteredness. Spaces are easy to create, re-order, and destroy.
Finally got to e-mail inbox zero. Now for my other inboxen.
Tired: Inbox Zero. Inspired: Tot Zero.
Just tried looking at some of my site’s pages’ HTML after they’ve been run through Prettier. It sure looks nice in bat(1), but the extra build step would take entire seconds to complete.
Send even more help. I’m having the most millenial of midlife crises — I’m not sure Donatello is my spirit-animal ninja turtle anymore.
send help I’m working on a website with no dark mode and there’s no good way to turn on only some lights in the room I’m in
Free meme: “Shub-mergerrath, the eater of code“
Follow-up question to follow-up thought: “What does it mean if someone replies with a number on [1, 7)?”
Random follow-up thought: “On a scale from 7 to 14, how basic am I?”
@niplav “Markov” sounds more like meaningless babble (maybe from a political opponent). See also: “duckspeak”.
Realization: One day, the only people who say “the future is now, old man” will themselves be old.
I used a computer today. I think that may have been a mistake.
If I never have to hold three rulers perpendicular to each other to find out how big an object is if I buy one, that’ll be great.
”Probably shoud’ve just taken the car.”
Is this woman teeny, or is that a 27″ iMac next to her?
Nope, don’t like the changes for Safari. Not one bit.
Sounds like they’re trying to move Automator things into Shortcuts things.
AirPlay? One fewer thing I keep in the top right.
Universal Control? I could use this.
Yes, let’s talk about macOS.
Listing Taiwan as a country for HomePod mini? Bold.
iCloud+: Not _just_ a VPN. Interesting.
So voice processing is _back_ on-device after a decade or so? _Finally_.
How does Mail Privacy cloak my location? Does it proxy my e-mail through Apple?
Oh, Translate is a thing?
Quick Note: aping features from LiquidText. Not Sherlocked, but still.
Multitasking in the double-tap-Home screen? _Finally_.
