(I'm nearly done with the sketchbook I've been using for doodles, and I was flipping through it. I forgot that before I started using it for regular doodling practice that I had used it to sketch out something used for the kiddo's party.

I was kind of uncomfortable with the whole theme of the game, but whatever. I can't control what other people find reasonable, and it's difficult to always be the party pooper.)

The kiddo wanted a princess themed party for their 4th birthday, and their mom had this idea of pin the tail on the donkey, but instead of a donkey, there would be a frog, and instead of a tail, there would be kissy lips. The sketch is pretty close to what I created, only the final thing was large and on a poster board and colored. We ended up giving it away on a buy nothing group, so it had a life beyond the kiddo's party.

• A sketch of the frog talked about in the post. The frog is facing you and wearing a crown, promising to either be a prince or princess should you only release them from the curse. It's lips are puckered with an expression filled with hope for a kiss. Is this curse real, or is it a scam? Only one way to find out, but do you really want to? Who needs a prince or princess?

Idk why people act like it's hard to pick between a guy with an age problem, and guy with the same age problem but also like 20 way bigger problems.

there's been almost twenty years of work on optimizing javascript engines with JIT and complex heuristic-based GC and a wealth of feature-rich profiling and analysis tools and validation and testing frameworks for deployment and integration and syntax improvements and functional and higher-order primitives and serverside transpiled code. and it's all enabled some amazing new stuff, for example github now takes 10 seconds to display a plain text file, and you cant search properly anymore

Years ago, I debated with 2 American coworkers about the fact that they pay twice as much as Canadians for drugs.

Both were smart engineers, leaning towards the progressive side of American politics, and both told me it was because they were bearing the brunt of R&D for the rest of the world.

Really, the Americans were just being gyped to pay execs and shareholders. Full stop.

According to Apple’s lawyers, "no reasonable user would expect that their actions in Apple’s apps would be private from Apple."

I repeat to make it clear: According to Apple itself, no reasonable Apple user should expect privacy when using the device.

So let’s make it even more clear: if you expect basic privacy using your Apple device, you are "unreasonable" (= a fool).

Every time a multimillionaire takes a half-hour trip on their private jet, the rest of us subsidize it.

One in six flights is a private jet. Yet they contribute only 2% of the taxes that fund airports — while the rest of us pay 70%.

It’s time to end tax breaks for the rich.
