the real reason i will never get far in accounting is that spelling "recievable" is impossible

also: its vs it's is stupid. grow up.

english: we will use the apostrophe for both possessives and for contractions and this will never be a problem
also english: turns out... its a problem 😬

i find it kind of interesting but i could never do it for a living because money is such an insane fucking idea its impossible to take seriously

i think i could write command line accounting software

I'm not interested in left unity but I'm looking into left godot

realizing that it's the same aesthetically driven irrational self-destructive part of my brain that wants both of these things. neither are practical, both have incredibly steep learning curves to no obvious benefit, one of them is likely immediately fatal. and yet. and yet.

in super mario bros if you get 100 coins you get an extra life but super mario bros came out in 1983 so adjusted for inflation you would actually have to get 305 coins today for the same extra life...

@gwenprime give me the good shit https://legacy.cplusplus.com/ aawwww yiiisssssssss

gamers are complaining that my "hyperrealistic war game" is mostly fuel logistics and supply line management??

so do the butthole surfers eat ass or do they limit their activities to surfing

like for all the orientalist bullshit belittling indigenous cultures this is some real hocus pocus folklore shit right here

oh you believe in spirits? rituals? ancient gods? primitive, simple. not like me, the rational white man, who creates a person by filing some papers. this paper person I have created has more rights than women. I have fought for this.

you're not allowed to make fun of astrology if you believe in corporate personhood

"a corporation is a person and when it spends money that's it talking" how is it possible to take this society seriously

@technomancy yeah... I agree in principle, but in practice it's been nothing but downsides. my takeaway is that a language has to be designed carefully from scratch for self-hosting and clojure just... isn't. there's all kinds of annoying circularities to resolve just to get the damn thing to boot at all, not even getting into the carnage that spec left in it's wake... it also puts you in a situation where when anything breaks *everything* breaks ☠️

rewriting it in F# mind you. i think the codebase i have in clojure is kind of a dead end. its architecture is... not great to begin with (i was young when i started it) and its further gunked up by a pile of optimizations that turn out to not matter for the primary current use case. its having issues with a particular target that are hard to even diagnose at this point, let alone resolve...

remarkable how much calmer my mind is when i make lists and cross things off the lists as i complete them. its like a fog being lifted. the most valuable thing i got our of years of therapy was the afternoon when my therapist said "what if you made a list?"
