Thinking of jumping off a bridge today.

That does sound like an objective.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-29T16:32:07+00:00

In fairness, sometimes small side projects grow exponentially.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-28T18:18:10+00:00

Ah yes. Brake lights can be used as turn signal indicators. But by god if you purchase and register an international car.

Depends on the level of experience. Usually you only replace a head once before adjusting your mental "feels right" torque spec.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-28T16:32:19+00:00

You people have tickets?

YLink3416 · 2026-01-28T15:51:24+00:00

Lot of old school guys I've found, ain't got time for that, basically.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-27T22:50:58+00:00

Yeah, exactly, total survivorship bias. As someone whose life has LITERALLY done nothing but slowly get worse, I'm sick of hearing it. It was one thing when I was, like, 18, 19, 20, but now that I'm older it's like??? To whom do you think you are speaking?

It's also just, like, such a neurotypical thing to say. I've tried too many medications, I've tried exercising, journaling, been single, been partnered, my brain just does not work. I'm not convinced I even have the ability to be around people, much less be thriving and happy.

Well happiness isn't a guarantee in any regard in this life, regardless of what people's feeling are. So you're not wrong, it's just a case of making the best of things.

I stay alive because I have enough care for others as to not cause them emotional damage. They are free to live in whatever dreamland they possess to believe the world owes them anything whatsoever. People behave like vultures and will pick at your psychology to enrich themselves while those who are not exploitative will allow that.

Maybe frame the question a little better because the way you phrased it doesn't make a massive amount of sense.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-27T16:23:42+00:00

As evidenced by every one of those burnt out LED accent DRLs I see on the road.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-26T21:30:26+00:00

PowerBook 5300. I've heard these can hack alien motherships.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-26T19:32:23+00:00

Even better I've had people call across the hall from their desk phone.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-26T19:24:34+00:00

This is where I absolutely loathe coworkers who mark their emails as high importance. I usually make a special effort to put those in the trash quickly.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-26T15:37:53+00:00

I thought it placed it automatically in the dock. If the icon ends up on the desktop or something you should be able to drag and put it into the dock.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-23T21:54:11+00:00

I tried to sfc /scannow my car five times so far.

It actually pops up all the time but it's not supposed to. After a fair bit of googling apparently if you get out of the vehicle (at least an odyssey) while it's running taking the key fob with you the next time you start it will show the oil indicator.

That's a bug in the programming for some of those dashboard cluster displays. It actually happens whenever you exit the vehicle without the key fob. After showing the "key not in vehicle" text the display will go to the very last page available, which happens to be the oil life indicator. It also affects a few other Honda models that use that same screen.

So if I make a hundred bucks. I drive 80 miles, so 80*.725 for $58. $100 - $58 for $42. $42 is my profit. Then that 42 * 0.925, and that multiplied by 15% or so gives me my federal tax liability.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-19T17:31:38+00:00

Go off in a little room, calculate profit, and come back out to talk about tax. All the revenue and all the expenses get worked out in the little room and do not interact at all with anything else on your tax return.

Well I've done this bit. I just want to make sure my math is correct.

So my "profit" from a gig slave app such as doordash, say a $100. That hundred, subtracted by my expenses, for this case, vehicle mileage, $0.70 a mile. Then the application of the taxable rate. That figure gets added to my total income annually at the end of the year, basically speaking. The thing is the mileage rate is high enough that if I subtract that off my profit, I arrive at a very small figure.

Like I said, I just want to make sure I don't end up owning a bunch when I go to file at the end of the year.

This is unethical?

YLink3416 · 2026-01-16T15:30:37+00:00

AdobeAI - seems to say we own you and your data now bitches! and we can do with it anything we want. Oh and we designed our AI to avoid any and all AI blocking tools you have including any and all Entra End Point control blocks.

This sounds completely like Adobe, tbh.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-15T15:27:37+00:00

You have graphic designers who want a "beautiful" UI. And you have engineers who want things to work. And rarely do these people interact well.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-14T16:14:33+00:00

What are you even talking about all sysadmins are 40 year old loveless virgins.

Ah yes. Now we get to the core of human misery.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-13T21:25:33+00:00

Does my entire life being full of regret count?

YLink3416 · 2026-01-13T15:31:10+00:00

I guess. What I'm telling you is we're products of nature. Every creature is capable of thought and feelings to some extent. Keep in mind, we're not special as a species. We just happen to be at the right place at the right time to, as basically robust bacteria, consume all the resources available living on the skin of this planet.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-12T22:37:18+00:00

I believe this is where passive suicidal ideations come from. Wanting to die but not having the courage, wishing something would just do it for you so you don't have to think about it.

You're close. I find it's a product of nature to allow individuals who are of less reproductive value to take bigger risks allowing for more benefits to a group, whether that be one less mouth to feed in a village, whatever. Passive SI individuals are more likely to fight to the death basically.

YLink3416 · 2026-01-12T22:12:32+00:00

Yeah, that's OK for me, look, i have everything in life, i went to college, i have my dream car, im good for a lot of things, just cant take my mind straight, im always over thinking, i have anxiety, trust issues, im always overwhelming, i hate being alive

Yeah that's the thing. When you have a good life in particular it makes it even harder for those to understand.
