  • America as a country needs to go fuck itself for a while so it can really learn the lesson of how productive that is.

    Currently fucking ourselves. Unfortunately, I think it's going to have to get a lot more painful before most of the people who need to learn from it actually do.

  • There comes a point, somewhere late in the evening after my ADHD meds have worn off, where it's more productive to not do any coding. If I do, I'm just going to end up throwing most of it out tomorrow because it's a bunch of bug littered spaghetti.

    Unfortunately, I also solve most of my big problems when I'm not staring at a screen. After which I have to resist the temptation to go work on it so I don't make a big mess. It's some kind of cruel irony.

  • I see these types of posts on Craigslist all the time. "1959 Cadillac. Perfect candidate for restoration. $2,500 firm."

    And it's like, uh, no. I'm positive that at one time that WAS a 1959 Cadillac. But, the floor pan is completely rotted out. The engine consists solely of the block. The rest of the drive trane and hood are gone. And the rest of the car looks like someone heard One Piece at a Time on the radio and thought it was a repair manual.

    At best you've got $500 worth of scrap metal and that's if YOU load it on a flat bed and haul it to the junk yard yourself.

  • My childhood did suck. If you offered me $1M to go back and relive it, I wouldn't do it.

    That said, it's pretty common for people to feel like their younger years were the "best years of their life." Some of that comes from being ignorant of or not having to deal with adult level problems. Some of it from just how the human brain stores long term memories; by creating a lot of shortcuts and glossing over details.

    One thing I've learned is that life is hard. But being hard doesn't also mean that it can't be good.
