i wonder if i know any normal people

you ever think about how "brain food" is an anagram for "brian food"

it's fine if you don't get it. lots of people walk into art museums and get confused and angry over why stuff is in there. this is the normal reaction to have towards art.

gentoo seems nice. i'm thinking of switching to gentoo

i mained gentoo back in the day and was very proud that i slogged through the really hard installation process and learned a lot from it, but i'm relieved that the docs promise you can power through an installation in about an hour on a modern system if you are really hurried and i think that's great

also I'm enjoying reading through the handbook which is very detailed but also very clear, so that's probably a good sign

got myself a stick of linux ready to install after dinner >:3

my sister asked "how many linuxes do you need" to which I answered "one more"

i told my mom about my backup career plan (simply become a successful independent artist working in a medium I've never worked in significantly before) if the kleptocapitalists who are ripping the figurative copper out of the walls manage to crash the video games industry hard enough that i have to consider regular programming as a backup plan which they're also working around the clock to wall off, and she didn't try to talk me out of it lol

half the jobs I've had in my career involved working in a programming language that I had learned (or re-learned) in a week prior to the interview, to a degree of competence that I could talk intelligently about non-trivial aspects of the language, and demonstrate non-trivial tasks idiomatically. these languages were C#, Ruby, and C++.

anyone got any ideas for how to hurry along this bubble pop

EDIT: specifically interested in ideas that wont get me arrested

you ever think about stroads

can confirm, this is what outside looks like more or less right now

I had a real cool dream last night where I was playing Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, and after murdering my way through a bunker full of cultists I found a device possibly a book that took me to a parallel world where there was this highway over a many lakes and rivers with all these abandoned facilities full of interesting things along the way. Somewhere along the way I found an armored space suit with great stats. This parallel world was very peaceful.

I painted a legally distinct collectable monster to volunteer to a legally distinct collectable monster collecting card game that a colleague of my sister is making. #krita #mastoart
