Do ya’ll have a number you see all the time? Mine’s 1234.
I suspect humans have internal, subconscious metrics to measure “objective” secondary qualities, but then again I’m obviously experiencing apophenia… unless my brain has subconsciously developed the ability to encode messages that float up to my conscious mind…
1234
“mad kudos”
For instance, Clover habitually quotes Amanda Gorman poetry… whaaaaaat?!?
I barely have time to pay attention to contemporary observants, and yet my kid just drops these spells on me (while I’m driving no less), and then @susanmagnolia’s all like, “Oh yeah, I love that one[…]”.
I’m just saying, my families fucking cool, and I’m better off for them. 
Hey, what does it take to create a cola drink, these days? Because I’m down with experimenting and reverse engineering a flavor, and calling it like, Bolt, after the wager between The Unnamed One, Zeus, Shiva, Ọya, and a few others when they decided how awesome their power would be.

fuck your capitalist holiday
I was uploading around 10 photos at once, which is always iffy on my connection, and I’m used to re-uploading images that time out… but today it fucking logged me out!
I’m computing with my hands tied behind my back, I’m getting tired of it.
Occasionally I get an email from a financial institution that has the following:
To protect your privacy, please do not reply to this email.
I’m considering making that my email signature.
What the fuck is wrong with you, Paypal company? You send out email that wastes weeks or years of human time, and for what? So I’ll use your fucking service more? You are not trustworthy, you are incumbent. And you act like it.
If reality happens to be the lowest common denominator, one then understands the influence of diversity, as well as why we choose our measure of it in our reality.
I appreciate the 502 page for NewsBlur. It matches the way I approach my tasks: now I know, and can move on with my day, not wondering what happened, because NewsBlur (Sam) was honest about what’s happening. 
Being a parent is a losing proposition.
And yet, we persist…
We are looking for chairs with back support, and found comfortable chairs at IKEA that are “oversold”, whatever that means. For reference (LISABO):
For year’s I’ve resisted heavily customizing my commandline interface, because I work in so many remote environments.
But now I know what that generic environment is, and likely to be. That means I can change my local settings and it will only make it more apparent when I’m not ~…
When I notice an observant person I generally appreciate their presence. It means there are more people with situational awareness, and that comforts me.
Except with police officers, who are trained to be observant. I find this trait in police officers sinister.
When I search for that meaning I am drawn to the approach of a police officer and everyone else I might encounter: the inherent risk of violence in every interaction with a police officer.
Because an observant person has more leverage to respond knowledgeably and with speed, it is an advantage in emergencies. Most people are not trained to use their advantage to call for reinforcements and use force to assert control over a situation.
Another way of saying it is, some folks look out for others, and some go looking for a fight…
I for one was taken unawares by the continuing influence television has on people. My studies have revealed that technology is not equally distributed, and apparently has difficulties, logistically, to even attempt. There are folks I care for that do not have access to information aside from a tv…
How will we navigate these new waters… I have some thoughts.
I think I shared in Snikket, but not publicly: here are the Switches doing a group software upgrade sync, locally. I had already downloaded the update, and shared it to @susanmagnolia’s and Clover’s Switches:
Nintendo has often done this kind of software distribution, but I rarely see it in non-gaming contexts. I’ve never used it before, but F-Droid has this ability, I believe.
