Ill upload it soon once I get a final listen, but I think i more juat recorded my most guilty track ever. I noticed that the power drain fro. The heat wave wa makong the input to my amps and pedals pulse. I really couldnt help but take advantage of this soon to be common situation and shouldnt have been using my amps. But the pulse of powe in I to it was rhythmic and I had to take advantage. I got a sick fucking noise track from it that im currently listening to.

my ADHD decided I'm getting into microcontrollers and electronics. I have very little experience with either but I have successfully programmed a ESP32 chip to make an LED blink. I feel like I am science

Mood, my ADHD decided I want a typewriter

Blinking an LED is the Hello World of microcontrollers. Many neat doodads are in your future.

Watched the first episode of Invincible and enjoyed it despite me hating superhero stuff. It scratched that Dragonball Z itch for some reason

Then I see in the credits that Robert Kirkman is the writer and I pulled this face

Robert Kirkman is the Walking Dead guy right? He's a sexist motherfucker and I just generally hate his values over all.

Sometimes I hate how principled I am, it makes it hard to enjoy any media

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The evil space super guys are basically less interesting Saiyans, right?

I don't know anything about the walking dead guy personally, but I do hate the walking dead a lot. It's a deeply reactionary and bad story/setting.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago

viltrumites are like a fusion of saiyans and the freeza force with only flying brick powers so they are less interesting in general

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

they do call it white peoples dragon ball

Making a cup of tea for one of my kids when I put something in the wrong place.

Child: You're silly, daddy

Reminder to my comrades on bicycles to be very careful out there. I thought I saw the FedEx driver see me, but clearly I was mistaken. Now I've got new hardware in my knee (the good one, of course) and seven staples in my noggin.

don't miss out on the easy lawsuit money

[–] isame@hexbear.net 4 points 8 hours ago

I feel awful for the driver. I also drive for work, albeit just a Tacoma. I'm pretty sure it I hit a pedestrian, short of them jumping in front of me, I'd be losing my job. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard regarding driving and especially safety. That said, I do not want the guy to lose his job. BUT, yes, after consulting with a couple trusted friends, one of them the one who got me into communism, and was advised to sue the pants off the company. So I called a lawyer. The truth is I can't afford not to sue, as I will be out of work for potentially months. I have a 80 hours of leave available to me once I go on official medical leave, and I have short-term disability insurance. But both if those things cover 40 hours a week (the STDI only a portion of that, iirc), and I work and budget for 45 to 50. I've got no savings. Things are going to get financially dicey pretty quickly.

So. The building my work in has an evil superintendent. He has a t shirt claiming he is a great grandpa and the theory is he is just a lonely pathetic old man and he's decided the building is his fiefdom. Literally everyone at my work despises this loathsome fuck. He fucking patrols the perimeter of the building all day and night long cause he clearly has nothing better to do. He sits on our patio seats cause front of house are too chickenshit to give him a menu and if he refuses to buy anything tell him it's a seat at a restaurant and he needs to kick rocks. The head chef has encouraged them to, they wouldnt even get in trouble if they did it, cause he had had like 10 years of this guy. My first interaction was taking a smoke break less than a month in, we had a back door key that we left in the kitchen for those who took smoke breaks to let themselves in. He saw me using this key, to the building for which we are tenants on the door and got in my face about it. I didnt even know who this asshole was at the time. He was yell asking who I was and where I got the key from. I told him that I work at the restaurant and eas tsking a smoke break and I got the key from inside the kitchen where I work. This made him really mad at me and he was yelling that I shouldnt have that key and how this is a security door or whatever. Once again, I have no idea he's the building super and tell him to fuck off right now and that i dont answer to random assholes i meet in the hallway. He gets uppity and days he's the building super. I told him he could have opened with that and been significantly less hostile towards someone he's never met before. He told me i had an attitude. I then got in his face and said he didnt know what attitude looks like and if he has an issue he can talk to my fucking manager and there will be problems if he speaks to me like that ever again. He spoke to me like that ever again a few months later. The air conditioner was fucked and leaking into the dish pit. When he came to 'take a look'he asked when I started and was absolutely grilling our very autistic dishwasher about it and I saw it needed to swoop before things got ugly and said we noticed a small trickle lasr night but it had stopped and we chalked it up to steam from the dishwasher machine condensatingand dripping back cause it was warm as hell cause the air conditioner wasnt working right. He started laying into me for not calling the owner at 11 at night as if anything could be done. I left a note. I also had a full restaurant to feed and was in the middle of work. I told him im busy, go through the appropriate channels and ive already told you that you dont get to speak to me anymore. He once again said he'd talk to my boss and that i had an attitude. I told him that he should expect this when he approaches everyone so aggressively and I was surprised he lived long enough to be a great grandparent without someone kicking the shit out of his arrogant ass and then followed up asking how often his children speak to or visit him. I got in no trouble at all cause fuck that guy. There's a brewery in the same building and he came into our fucking restaurant with a bag full of emptied clearly from them cause while we do get beer from them, its on tap. We dont sell cans and if you read the logo on the cans maybe your first suspect should be the fucking brewery. He yelled 'i got a bone to pick with you!' At a new server. I heard him and rushed out front. He left after seeing me. Fuck that guy.

it is august 8 and stalin saved the world from fascism

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Shouldnt have explained ti bew guy at work that the model restaurant evolved from the french revolution cause then he had to give me his ignorant but deeply confident opinions on politics. He likes socialism but is against communism, hates China for reason im not gonna ask about and said they and Cuba are the only 2 comminist countries, theyre socialist and arent the only 2, I did correct him there. He continued to say he still hates them. I just gave 'yeah...cool man.'

Starting a conversation with someone only to realize you've made a mistake and need to eject ASAP.

Classic new guy at work

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 8 hours ago

I have been able to be an open communist at work up to this point. My chef played in punk bands and washed dishes until he had a kid and a government grant for a chef course came along. I saw his band open for DOA when I was 14. We have a lot of friends in common and he hates getting a 'yes chef'. People who kiss ass are a red flag and the guy has been going really off script often. Like, he was making g our roasted Brussels sprouts app and I saw he was deglazing with wine, mentioned we use lemon juice on that and he said he figured wine would work better with the garlic. There is no garlic in that fucking dish. Instead of doing what ive told him to hes decided to do random weird shit. He doesnt seem to understand that I am the boss of him. Probably cause I dont treat my bosses like they're my bosses and often tell them literally 'youre not the boss of me' cause ive been working here for 5 years. Hes been around for a month. I have earned mt ability to call shots. The people technically above me love that im the one willing to boss people around. I run the micro and generally people are happy about it. The sous chef and I sre really good friends and we have split those duties. He is the first mate and im the quartermaster if it was a boat. I run a loose ship cause I trust everybody to do theor job well. Theyre great at it. Except this guy who wants to rock my boat

Wish so much that I had the slightest amount of artistic talent

There’s a gold mine somewhere out there for depictions of normal ass Americans walking into wood chippers when hearing anything vaguely anti-capitalist/anti-protestant. The absurdity of it all is off the Godamn charts, I understand seeing these losers online but they’re unfortunately present outside as well :/

[–] Renin@hexbear.net 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe I should make a thread about this, but I don't think it's important enough to warrant it. There was a small anti-fascist demonstration not that long ago, but among the crowd someone decided to stand out and literally call the counter-protesters a bunch of animals. Which then gets plastered over the news, as you'd expect.

Am I wrong to find this unwise? Aren't you supposed to build forces before you start poking at the tiger?

New Ghost in the Shell anime and I find out bc famous e-streamer gamer grrls are noting how transphobic it is. Cyberpunk will never beat the allegations.
