I like spiders

Something about spiders have always been interesting to me. I've spent so many hours on wikipedia reading about spiders, that the spiders have a restraining order against me.

Jumping spiders especially are wonderful. Incredibly cute little guys. Have you ever stared at a jumping spider and they turn and lift their heads to look at you? Fucking adorable. And don't get me started on their "uppies" front leg lift when they're hopping up on your hands. I've got a few jumping spiders around the house. Not pets, they just live here.

They are incredibly smart, excellent hunters. They have object permanence which is suprising for a brain that tiny. They have conical eyes (hence the head lift to look at you), that they can use to focus on fine details over long distances. Nature couldn't have come up with a better design. It is really a treat to watch them wander around and hunt.

The bigger ones although are intimidating. A few years ago I was visited by a huntsman. He just entered my house like he owned the place and for a second I considered moving. I knew he couldn't hurt me. He wouldn't really want to bite me and even if he did, it would just be a little swelling. But my instinct wouldn't let me get close. I ended up using a shakey bowl (my hands weren't shaking, it was just a shakey bowl) and a piece of cardboard to relocate him outside my window. But after we had my window between us, I found the guy really beautiful and impressive.

Another spider encounter was with a wood orb weaver spider when I was visiting Kerala, India. I accidentally touched a bit of web between branches that felt surprisingly strong, almost like a bit of thread. I looked up and there was this magestic web between 2 trees with a giant yellow, black patterned spider with a red dot on it's butt. That butt comment felt innapropriate the moment I realized that it was a lady I was looking at and the male of the spicies was the much smaller spider on the web that I didn't even notice at first. Again scary as hell but I couldn't stop looking. The patterns and her leg movements were mesmerizing.

Anyways, spiders are scary but pretty damn amazing.

Make public executions great again!

Ever since the Reign of Terror, I've been craving some good old fashioned dramatic public executions. Hell yeah, bring that back! Especially now that I don't have to walk all the way to the guillotine and can just watch it online from the comfort and safety of my own home, with my dick in my hand. Honestly kind of sick of watching things online where no one dies. I need to feel something, damn it!

If you're one of those people with empathy, stop pretending. You obviously only care about the people on your side. If you're one of those people who really have empathy, relax a bit. The light hitting the lens of the camera, travelling through the interent as bits, and eventually turning into pixels drawn on your screen washes away all meaning so at the end of the day, it's just a livestream, bro. Like watching a scene from a movie where the bad guy dies. You don't have to feel bad. If you still feel that way, try watching it 10 more times, that'll fix your disability for sure. Or if you wait a few minutes, you'll probably see a bunch of memes about it which is the best way to stay up-to-date on current events since you can laugh about it and the "too soon" laws don't apply. Humanity is evolving, get with the times or go extinct, preferrably in front of a camera so I can watch.

If history repeats itself, it would be really fun to watch all the kings' turn on the guillotine. Isn't this just a wonderful era we're a part of?

Nightmares get a bad rap

Nightmares are so much fun! It's the most immersive horror movie you've ever watched. Or a comedy-horror movie about how you're in school again standing naked in front of all your classmates because you forgot to wear your clothes and you realize that this is more than just about your clothes. You exist in a perpetual state of shame with no end in sight. You talk about acceptance but then use every chance you get to criticize yourself for... Okay, I take it back, nightmares can be bad I guess.

Why is everything broken?

I am the last person who would complain about bugs in tools I use. Being a dev responsible for many bugs over the years, makes me empathize with other devs so even the most frustrating buggy experiences I run into ends with me going "eh, shit happens".

But recently, the web has been a bit more buggy that I'm used to. Websites and apps just breaking all over the place. From the people I've spoken to about this, I no longer think it's just me. The theory that came up is all the AI-driven work done in the software industry but I don't think that's it. As much as I dislike AI's forced involvement in everything, I don't think the problem is just AI, but rather the effect this is having on people. I think the disorientation from being pushed in the deep end with AI is making experienced devs careless and hurting our attention to detail.

Attention to detail is what I appreaciate about the output people produce in the world. So people losing that makes us a lot less interesting and apps a lot more useless. Hope that turns around.

All consume, no produce

Let's just stop creating. What has being creative actually got us, really? Let's just consume. Time to replace every outlet that humans have to produce any kind of output and turn that into an act of consumption as well. We've already succeeded in doing that to all forms of digital works - art, code, writing, videos, etc. but why stop there? I took a shit earlier today, why even that? Let's pass a law that some corporation owns all shit in the world and people are legally obligated to buy it from them for permission to drop it out of their assholes. Otherwise the corporation is well within their right to sue them for damage to their property. Add a toilet-seat + flush monthly subscription to that and boom, utopia!

The powder sticking to my feet can go fuck itself

And the water after I wash my feet but at least that has the decency to dry itself after a bit.
