I see now why people avoid going into programming 😔
Is it the programming aspect?
Absolutely lol. Or more so the amount of knowledge you need to memorize.
You don’t need to memorize everything. It’s enough to know what’s possible. Once you know one language really well, all you really need to do is learn the way another language does the same thing. Google is your friend.
Oooof we ikea’d mightily today. I got fuck all done around the house
I’m going to watch Inside Out 2 tomorrow, I’ve decided. To prepare I just rewatched Inside Out at home and honestly every time I fall in love with it all over again. It’s one of the best ever films I’ve watched, period.
This is no mere kid’s film, it’s a goddamn psychology class and therapy rolled into one. It brings me to tears, every time (and this must be the fifth time at least). And every time i notice new details, and events of the film have new meaning…
rambling because seriously guys i love this film
This is the first time I’ve watched it post lockdown and I was honestly ugly crying at the point when Joy realises Sadness needed to take over. I mean i cry at that point every time anyway (also when Sadness sits next to Bing Bong and just listens). But this time it hit so much harder after the huge events of past years: the loss of friends, the irreversible life changes, isolation, the realisation that some joyful parts of the past are truly over and can’t drive us any more, and have to be let go to move on to new joy, the sadness taking over happy memories, the rebuilding of new networks by letting emotions blend, and of course one of the big morals of the story - don’t keep trying to push through and be happy all the time, embrace the difficult feelings or everything starts breaking down. Deny sadness and you get locked out of your brain with depression.
This film has meant so much to me over the years because I’ve always been Sadness - Negative Nelly, Debbie Downer, the character in the film to a tee - and both hated and defended that fact fiercely growing up. This was honestly the first film that gave me the permission to embrace it and be proud of it - especially the mum having Sadness running the show with empathy, it was the first time I truly understood who I could become rather than forcing myself to be someone else.
I can’t get over how the creators weaved these personal experiences we’ve all had and actual psychological concepts into such vivid, coherent, playful imagery that doesn’t just track as a very entertaining kid’s adventure film but also as an incredibly creative and powerful metaphoric film for all ages. I could watch it every year til I die, honestly.
Of course I don’t have such high hopes for the sequel. But I can’t not watch it when the original means so much to me. ❤️🩹
I really feel you on this so, so much. I loved the first movie too, which I watched when it came out. I want to watch the 2nd one, but I just know that I won’t be able to cope if I watch it with where I’m at at the moment
so many hugs, just reading your experience made me cry
It’s on my watchlist now💗
I was gonna go places and do things today, but then I realised bed is warm and decided “nah”
Today is United Nations Public Service Day, and International Widows Day
Oh man, I’m going through it.
Melbcat is having a rough go of it, the cold has flared her arthritis but the nausea from antibiotics means she won’t eat her meals with her regular pain meds in.
She’s been having shots of both pain/anti nausea medication at the vet to break the cycle and I’m giving wafers/liquid meds orally every 12 hours at home. She’s now eaten a little bit twice and takes treats but is still refusing almost every wet meal.
Me, I’ve got some serious health stuff going on and am deeply pissed off about it
Bleh. After yesterday’s nap I somehow managed to strain or pull something and some area of my neck or back shoulder is sore which unfortunately is leading to pain when I move my head.
Taken some Panadol and nurofen but I hope it’s only an minor strain and not anything serious.
It’s a day of keeping warm and resting today.
My brain is mush. Reading in bed and early night I think.
I wish, I have so much to do. Gotta finish cleaning up the cat bathroom , got a few loads of washing to fold and put away, pies to make for dinners and lunches and I want to start on my sewing.
1 doz pies made. That’s good for a few days and then I can freeze some too
Mickey says “zzzzz”
Apparently Spotify has launched a new cheaper tier. It’s billed annually and not monthly. Works out to be the same price as it was before they upped the price again last month. $155 a year ($12.99 a month). The only difference besides the annual billing is that it doesn’t include audiobooks
I don’t care for the audiobook thing, especially considering the audiobooks aren’t unlimited. So if I can scrounge up the annual fee, I might switch
So I went to see friends last night, I always look forward to seeing the wife of the couple, she’s becoming a good friend and I hope I am a friend to her. The guy is a childhood friend of my husband.
And the guys grew up being the smartest person at school and they are both pretty successful in their sci or math respective fields.
here’s the thing, they both treat me like an idiot, or should I say, they both expend quite a bit of energy to keep me in my place
and I really don’t give a shit,
but I noticed the guy treats his wife just as poorly as he treats me, worse since it’s all the time. At first I thought it was just explaining a difficult scientific subject but it’s everything she does.
She’s a highly educated and experienced lawyer who is fluent in 3 languages. She’s no idiot. And even if she was you don’t talk to people like that.
It just saddens me.
and doesn’t surprise me, rude men tend to hang with other rude men
all I can do is continue be a friend with her
Those guys sound very unpleasant to hang around with.
I hate people who look down on others and do that, it’s yucky and demeaning.
They probably bask in their own superiority and have known nothing else through their life and thus treat everyone else like that.
Not much you can do about it since one of them are married to your friend but it’s yucky.
You’re witnessing a dick swinging competition.
But I have no dick???
He’s swinging his dick in the presence of another male
These can be purchased in entertaining colours and improbable sizes from certain establishments should you wish to windmill somebody in the eye.
Insecurity can be repugnant.
I agree and insecurity is crazy. This guy has a phd in sciences. What would it take to make him feel secure.
I suppose I can answer that. Controlling and keeping intelligent women in their place.
So why doesn’t he marry uneducated women? I suppose because it makes him feel smart to control a smart woman and he wouldn’t feel smart to control an uneducated woman.
Always, always there’s an undercurrent of physical intimidation in these cases. 😡 It’s subtle tho.
Men like that are the worst form of coward. I’ve encountered them before, and they quickly receed when challenged by another man.
Disgusting.
Still punching out chillies late june!
had to clear a metric fucktonne of oxalis (again) to find them heh.
I guess the great thing about these things being near the coast is there’s little frost.
Woah, nice haul. Sauce or powder?
My scotch bonnet looks like it might be permanently done after gifting me a bounty in April (it did survive falling down and having half of it torn off), might be the last year for the insanely hot Thai chilli too. But I have a tomato plant that refuses to die and still is attempting to put out flowers like what the hell bro. You can rest now
Sauce or powder
Ooh was thinking powder maybe. Would love to do something like hot honey or chilli jam though.
My rando tomato plant is also doing the same thing as yours! heh. So late to the party. I don’t have the heart to pull it out.
That is a lot of chilies 🔥
Envy!
hey all 😀
I saw a friend’s possum that she feeds , it was so cuuute
The ringies live in a tree next to my house and when I’m feeling down I like to sit outside and watch them scurry around. Sometimes they jump onto the roof and patter about right above me
I’ve never fed them, but I do occasionally feed the maggies that also live in that tree, so I think the possums heard I’m a friendly
That’s a rather interesting error… Task failed successfully, I guess.
All’s well that ends well
Moon pretty. And very bright. And shining through my window onto my face.
