Feels vindicating that after the anti-open-source rhetoric from certain people I’ve experienced, I found an issue in a package we use, raised it as an issue in the GitHub repo, received a thanks from a maintainer for writing it up, and someone has a draft of a patch to fix it in less than 24 hours. I don’t take it for granted, but there *is* support out there for this stuff — just not always the traditional “throw money at Microsoft until it works” sort.

@annika that’s very sweet of you but no need to send me a card unless you really want to.

Just found out I’m still gay.

Chex Mix changed the recipe of their bold version and it isn’t good anymore. They made it into a garlic herb variant and it lost the extra savory Worcestershire depth that I loved it for. 🙁

I heard a radio ad for a nursery just now mention “vibrant mums and cheerful pansies” and I wanted to buzz in and answer “What is the mood when your mom puts on her most extra pride outfit because you’re bringing home your partner for the first time?”

@jonty reminds me of a friend’s product: USB A to garden hose converter. https://www.wartoaster.com/store/p81/USB_%3E_Garden_Hose_converter.html

Ugh, that disappointing feeling when the straight friend you have a crush on triples down on his straightness by *not only* smiling and saying he’s flattered but not interested in a BJ, BUT THEN he not only gets a girlfriend, he MARRIES her AND has a kid and posts happy family vacation photos?!

RUDE.

/s. Ish.

@mattl a veteran-owned company that makes t-shirts and patches and stuff for mil-bros with a good heart but a dark sense of humor.

I can’t be held responsible for the investments I make when I’m horny and idealistic.

@mattl these fucking AI bots replying with misinformation…

Why is my brain such a piece of shit

@ai6yr TIL. Apparently one of my favorite plaid shirts is a women’s style button-wise.

@MaxUK @ai6yr

I’m in front, pic is me in a yellow plaid shirt and yellow bandana with the cast of Wham City Comedy behind me.

@mattl is the Cummy Pumpkin made with real cum?

@mattl I’ve heard of it but haven’t looked into it much. I started down the WooCommerce path already, not sure if I wanna ditch the effort so far to switch, but I’ll give it a look.

Shopify is too expensive and I’m not making enough to break even for the cost of using it, so I think at the end of the month I’m not going to renew it. I’m working on moving to WooCommerce but in the meantime, if anyone has a free bucks and wants some stickers, patches, buttons, or puzzle books, I’d appreciate the business!

@mattl TEMPLEOS NOW BLOCK ME IN BULK MFER

@mattl see, this is the problem with you fucking people. I was born in 1988. And now I’m living in a state of near-constant suffering because y’all decided in 1987 to make a weird half-ass database thing instead of giving my mom a roundhouse kick to the belly so she’d miscarry me.

@mattl well if it’s from a database of emotions then why not just use an ENUM that can be mapped to emoji in the UI?

@mattl so emoji reacts?
