  • My highschool girlfriend senior year lived out in the country side, so it was 45 minutes to get there, 30 minutes on back roads. She liked to suck my cock while we drove back to her place, and it takes a lot to make me cum from just head. It always ended up being ~20-30 minutes of foreplay before I would get too frustrated and pull over somewhere so I could fuck her in the back seat of my shitty Honda accord. Some of the hardest and longest orgasms of my life were from cumming inside her after she’d edged me for the better part of half an hour :)







  • There’s a revelation about coding that all programmers realize relatively early in their careers: code is read far more than it’s written.

    You write something once and someone is going to need to read it and understand it for years or decades.

    Managers never understand this if they don’t need to touch code…

    Yes, you can ship product faster. In the coding world we call these “footguns” meaning something ideally suited for removing your foot, sometimes including your entire leg.

    I’ve seen AI produced code bases and they’re unmaintainable. I’m not exaggerating… AI is great at narrowly scoped problems but it can’t see the full project context at once to architect a solution like a senior engineer can. It can’t wrap its head around it fully for a large project. You end up with hundreds or thousands of files (where a dozen or less would suffice for a human made version) and insane amounts of duplication and wasteful code.

    AI is amazing at making rube Goldberg machines in the shape of a code base…

    What AI is phenomenal at is making unit tests and well defined integration tests for your code. Sometimes even regression tests. That is a superpower that can dramatically speed up a programmer.

    I firmly believe AI is a tool, not a replacement for programmers. It doesn’t have the ability to replace them yet (not even mythos. Which is going to be more expensive to run than a senior dev who is more reliable in their output.)

    Low code solutions always cause layoffs and then a mad scramble to hire devs back, often on the terms of developers. The pendulum has always swung back…


  • “AI hangover” feels like the right term. They went on an AI bender, shit out a massive unmaintainable code base nobody understands (and anyone who could have was laid off or fired months ago) then suddenly SHTF and they need to hire real humans to maintain it because Claude hiked their token multiplier by a factor of 9X.

    I’ve heard of companies hiring interns and junior devs again to do the ditch digging work that’s suddenly too expensive for AI to do with token price increases.

    What is AI for then? We already know it can’t do the work of a senior developer…




  • Men also don’t typically take multiple years off to have kids (as a demographic. I’m aware of exceptions even in my own personal life but the rule is typically the wife stays home, or they both work.) that put women behind their peers career wise. If people don’t take that factor into account when talking about the pay gap it’s disingenuous in my opinion.

    The best way I’ve found to sum up the disadvantage boys have in school, is they’re treated like defective girls. The school environment is better suited for girls. Boys have a lot of pent up energy that needs it be burned off for them to pay attention. It was a huge issue when I was in school (and I was one of those hyperactive boys) and I can’t imagine how hard it is now with social media and tablet-babysitters…



  • There are a lot of plants we consider weeds that used to be cultivated as staple crops. Industrialization meant only the most productive species got attention for mechanization. Less productive species fell out of favour and now are kind of lost knowledge.

    Lamb’s quarters: also called goosefoot or wild spinach. It’s related to quinoa and both the seeds and the leaves were eaten.

    Purslane: grows in poor soils and is hardy. Still used in Mediterranean cooking but is considered a garden weed in a lot of the world

    Dandelions and amaranth: both were cultivated, and most amaranth varieties are considered weeds now

    Sorrel: tough leafy green with a tangy flavour used prior to citrus in Europe.

    Ground elder: hated by gardeners and farmers. A nice spring leafy green planted around monestaries

    Mallow: used to thicken soups and stews. Still used in the middle east and Mediterranean but is considered a weed elsewhere.

    Nettles: you’ve probably heard of this one? Not farmed anymore to my knowledge.
