1 bed/bath to myself (and my cat). Happier here than anywhere I’ve been with a partner.

Birthdays make me so uncomfortable. Even when they’re mentioned in work chat and it’s flooded with gifs/“happy birthday!”s, I just don’t get it.

My daily carry bag always includes my Kindle, my cribbage board, and dog treats.

I don’t even like working.

I’m in favor of calling it X because it’ll die quicker.

Tbh it’s made a pretty significant improvement in my life as a software developer. Yeah, it makes shit up/generates garbage code sometimes, but if you know how to read code, debug, and program in general, it really saves a lot of grunt work and tedious language barriers. It can also be a solid rubber duck for debugging.

Basically any time I just need a little script to take x input and give me y output, or a regex, I’ll have ChatGPT write it for me.

I’ve gotten better about taking book notes.

I was thinking of ways to eliminate as much friction as possible, so I made an iOS shortcut that takes a URL from a share link in The Storygraph (the app I use for tracking my books) and sends it to an API endpoint I made that returns a deep link for Obsidian (the app I use for notes) which automatically creates a note for me with Title - Author format in my preferred subdirectory for book notes.

It seems like a silly thing to go through so much trouble to automate, but it was a tedious barrier to get a new note going when a thought came to me as I was reading, and I actually have gotten much better at taking book notes since I made it.

He’s all good! Just had a hot spot on his neck and needs to cool it on the itching. Had a bath with his medicated shampoo and needs to be careful for a few days and he’ll be good.

Possible the source website just changed the title after the article was shared and Lemmy pulled the metadata.

Stop sucking my dick or I’ll call the police.

Better check with a belly rub.

He should go to prison. He’ll probably be elected president again.

YIFY used to be my go-to, but sadly the quality of the content has really gone down to the point I no longer trust it to not be a cam/hardcoded sub release without clarity on what it is.

That said, I do still use my YIFY RSS as a notification system for new releases and download them elsewhere.
