Spreadsheets are one of those technolgies that was supposed to have become like ten times better by now.

The fact that Excel (and/or Sheets) essentially requires you to learn a whole programming language is sinful.

There's no cutesy hand-holding or attempts to make it an instructional read for cis people—this is a trans book by a trans author with a fucked-up trans heroine and I dug it so hard.

What luck! An opportunity to discover whether my year of hardcore-mainlining Contrapoints has been... useful!

EDIT: Aw. I made it 29 pages before becoming too frustrated by her punctualization-and-grammar-and-aspect.

This gif is a very complicated joke, and I don't even know what I mean by it, so let's examine the layers:

1) It means 'I'm with Abbie.' It means 'I am filled with dread and feel a sense of doom — too.' It means that.

2) As such, the gif means "we're in a rough situation, and we don't see a way out... but at least we're not alone."

3) But then, of course, this is all complicated by being a co-opted message from a Disney film. (A Disney sequel!)

4) My favorite aspect of all:

An accurate description of our gif-represented situation is: "we are sliding inexorably into a pit of boiling trash."

Thanks, man.

Truth be told, for reasons that are complicated to explain, I'm not really in a place to feel positive feedback right now, and I was hoping to hold off on replying until I could actually reply in-kind... but, it seemed like the delay was becoming rude, given my normal pattern of quicker public replies, and I didn't want to leave you hangin' for too long... so: 1) sorry about my lack of energy at the moment; 2) I'm really glad you liked it, and that it still holds up with fresh audiences; and: 3) look, the only the only thing I ever wanna do is fix waiting lines... so if y'all wanna have a competition to fix mine, I'd be downright hypocritical to oppose it. smile Hell, I might even join.

Thanks again.

*bang*

Oh, man — dude, you need to come to California; you need to see Yosemite; you need to take pictures of that valley. It's incredible.

Before I quit drinking, I'd usually opt for Makers Mark. This represents 100% of my whiskey knowledge.

(Oh, and I tried Laphroaig at some point. I didn't dislike it... but, it kinda tasted like the inside of a barbecue.)

I'm looking at the poster for the movie you're talking about, and...

...I don't know what movie you're talking about, but the poster is awful.

Wow, we're finally here, huh? Seems like just yesterday I was hearing about this for the first time.

...

Then again, longer and longer periods are beginning to seem like just yesterday, so... nevermind.

Yeah, it's not nothing, but it's an 'either you know how to do it or not' thing, and a couple of folks around here do.

Unfortunately, I'm not set-up [or, honestly, knowledgeable enough] to handle it myself, at the moment, and it looks like the other contenders in DIFworld have their hands full, too.

(That said, Boter, all is not lost: if y'all are capable of paying someone for the gig, I can still ask around a bit and see if any of the 'pros' I know would be willing to knock 'em out for ya. These shots can definitely be done, in any case; it's just a matter of finding the lowest bidder. 'Free' is preferable to 'not,' of course, but... y'know. Options.)
