I'm a dev. I develop little prototypes and things with Rust. I often create a new repository and don't give the project a name, until I've coded enough of it that I know where it's going.

A few years back, the makers of the programming language Rust started punishing people for prepending rust- before the names of their tools and apps. They recommended that people append -rs to the end.

The combination of these two things caused me to end up with a whole bunch of repositories named something like cli-rs or clitool-rs, both of which I'd just pronounce as clitoris.

Retirement is a modern idea. But looking after the elderly or infirm in your tribe probably dates back to when we were using stone tools and living in caves.

Is this your mum?

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

You are going to mighty great lengths to defend a charlatan and alt-right grifter.

I'm allowed to not like and dismiss the opinions of evil people, even if they are sometimes right. Now fuck off.

The actual 12 Rules for Life aren't that bad. I read the book, and it got me into Jordan Peterson. It was only when listening to him on podcasts, and seeing him on the news did I realise that he's a right-wing grifter and slinger of hate and misinformation.
