Overheard my first "samui desu ne" in the elevator this morning. Meanwhile I'm standing in front of them, still in shorts and short-sleeves.

Of course we invented machines to tell us what we want to hear and side with us whether we're wrong or not. We've already designed our culture around avoiding accountability and consequence, it's only natural we'd plan for a future of perfecting it.

@tokyobybike@famichiki.jp but it's NOT cold at all. sure if you get soaked from the rain it doesn't feel great, but otherwise it's still quite warm out. and humid of course.

I only went as far as the store but it's friggin gorgeous outside today

Apparently people on my dev team are blowing through their approved monthly token credits on claude code well before the month is up. I dunno what the fuck they're doing that is so intensive. On AI day I've forced myself to sit and code with Claude essentially all day, and never use more than like a quarter.

And now a message from the prime minister. Not a robot, but a lich at least.

I'm only on the 4th book, and I am enjoying the Dungeon Crawler Carl series fairly enough, but I also can't understand why it's so incredibly popular suddenly either. It really does not seem like the kind of thing to become widely popular in the mainstream.

Is it actually nice out? Holly hell.

Tempted to have an afternoon nap

Ugh, I always seem to forget that 以前 and 以降 and the like are inclusive.

As is usually the case, once I start asking the most basic of questions, it becomes apparent that nobody has any fucking idea what they are doing.

They're never gonna get past the bad reputation of the previous owners, even though the place is spotless now with fantastic food. #Tokyo #Japan #food #FoodPorn

@FlockOfCats@famichiki.jp Americans: It's a good thing, let certain sectors fail, the hand of the market will fix it...capitalism is a wonderful thing.

"The gaming industry attracts some of the smartest, most talented, and most creative people on the planet and treats them like dog shit."

@softicecreamlesley@famichiki.jp @FlockOfCats@famichiki.jp Sadly, ignorance is not only bliss, it also comes with MAXIMUM confidence.

I'll walk to the market for some fresh fruit just to say I went outside a bit today.

@fgbjr@indieweb.social It's a nice big chunk for sure

@shilkytouch@famichiki.jp Don't even try looking at the comments on any topic about the US, there are paid agitators in those thread (they must be because why else) who slob Trump's knob in every thread even tangentially about him.

"Most people never had an opinion about anime until they met its most devoted fans."

Thank fuck tomorrow's a holiday.

I will say though, the more I see those shuttles with the walkways that go *through* the shuttle nacelles, the more I wanna find whoever is responsible for that design decision and throttle them.

I think if I'm gonna go out today it'll be after the peak heat levels, in the evening...

@gullevek@famichiki.jp 🤮🤮🤮

Cheers #youguys#Tokyo #Japan #beer #CoasterTokyo

And now the worst kind of Monday, the Monday after summer vacation.

TIL: if windows asks you to use CTRL-ALT-DEL for anything, and you're connected via RDP, you need to do CTRL-ALT-END instead...but it'll never tell you that.

I like spicy food and can generally handle it just fine, but many years ago a bad incident caused my body to decide it wants nothing to do with habanero anything. Just vehemently so. Crippling intestinal distress and cramping levels. Anyway, this post is just to say I'm pretty sure the new spicy famichiki has habanero in it. 😫

This evening's plans have been cancelled due to more rain, which is a relief because I kind of didn't really want to go out anyway. Rescheduled to next Sunday, let's hope I'm in more of a social mood by then.

I had thought maybe it was just my home connection acting up and not feedly itself, but it's still in rough shape today from work.

I should be going to bed but instead I'm still up watching Angine de Poitrine videos on youtube.

@sinalana.eurosky.social Japan does not want us, only our money.

What the hell are existential crises doing finding me on a Tuesday night for? That's some Sunday shit, stay in your lane!

CEO: "But what if we took the canaries, ground them up, and fed them to the machine...?"

I submitted feedback to MyFitnessPal about my UI complaints and it's telling that the email you get in response to filing out the feedback form specifically mentions the new update and asking for patience.

Hrm, it's up but really struggling to function properly.

@mdwyer@mastodon.social I'm reading because I don't really like Audiobooks. I guess if the audiobooks are the reason, that makes sense. Nobody these days actually *reads* books....

It's actually kinda hot out today. Maybe I wore too many layers. Sitting at the lunch spot sweating. Naturally they have the AC low because it's autumn.

@chad@mstdn.ca I liked the EU flag with one star as a maple leaf

At one point I was asked, since I've been at the company so long, what's my motivation to stay? Was also brutally honest here and said "motivation" was the wrong word. I'm just used to it, and it's more hassle to leave. But if it keeps getting more hassle to stay than to leave, I may re-think. Not sure how that went over.

Any time I get a new follower and they've got no info and zero posts, that's an instant block. Might I be blocking innocent false positives? Probably. Make an effort.

Made the mistake of reading the comments on JapanToday for the PR rule change article. Tons of armchair experts in America commenting about how entitled people are thinking they "deserve" PR.
