How did I, a socialist, raise such a princess bougie bitch (my cat)?

I still have not figured out who in our apt has a pickup truck with a sword made of duct tape that is labeled "Motivator."

I just realized that one of my favorite 'pick me up' videos has been taken off of youtube. I wish there were an Internet Archive for Youtube.

I think this sushi restaurant is playing a mini version of Alejandro by Lady Gaga

The next email says that they fixed their problem. They did NOT install a different product entirely, but after installing the correct one, they opened up all these core files that they should never touch and deleted a bunch of code from them because they thought they wouldn't need them. Not once did this fact get mentioned when they were sending copious emails to the list about their problem. 2/2

Listen to this fun bit of debugging I just did. Someone emails a listserv with a code problem. There are several emails back and forth as people try to help the person determine what could be causing their error. I reply and say, "well it seems the only way that could happen is if you installed this other product entirely, but surely that couldn't be the case, so let's try some other tactics." 1/2
