Why did school want me doing math with a pencil?
It just leads to repeating errors
Took the day off to bake herbed bread and play games. This was a good idea.
Last night:
1) thunder. Doggo spooked, tucked tail and followed me around the house trying to hide everywhere she could. Many trippings.
2) toddler awoke near midnight. I slept in a toddler bed.
3) 2AM received headbutt directly on front tooth. Not a good way to wake up. Offending forehead was also not pleased at this turn of events.
4) continued sleeping in toddler bed.
Tonight's goals:
sleep in own bed, do not trip on dog, protect teeth
If you're #unemployed it's not because there isn't any #work.

That new battletech game is tempting
Medical, possible death Show more
I don't remember doing anything at work today
Programming:
Why is it I feel useless and slow working on my own projects at work, but the moment I go to help someone else it's superfast coding no problem?
Alone with toddler today. Made us both French toast sandwiches with melted cheddar and blackberry jam. Feel like a culinary genius.
Saw there's a TED talk about leaving social media to be more productive at work.
Why not just aim for everyone to work less and be more social
“The billionaire boom is not a sign of a thriving economy but a symptom of a failing economic system,” said Winnie Byanyima, executive director of Oxfam International. “The people who make our clothes, assemble our phones and grow our food are being exploited.”
No shit. Maybe revolutionary France had the right idea.
Considering making a game. Considering Godot engine. Wondering if I'll be able to stick with it
Been here a while, haven't posted much, might more in the future. Used birdsite but wasn't very active.
I'm a husband, a father to a toddler, a German longsword enthusiast, and in my work time a mathematician and programmer working in bioinformatics. I'm from the south but don't much identify as a southerner.
Hi Mastodon, how's your day going?
This place is so much better than birdsite. Here's hoping some of the authors I follow there try it out
What will it take to end the American adoration of guns?

@aral @starbreaker Basically we need:
1) To ensure money doesn't overpower democracy
2) For ill-gotten gains to be forfeited completely (not just wrist-slap fines)
3) Social programs and safety nets
4) Intrinsic systematic limiting of high-end wealth accumulation (taxation being an example)
5) For businesses to actually pay the social/environmental costs they incur
6) Mechanisms of decentralization to be cultivated
I'm in shock.
There's a flat tax idea that I actually LIKE
You'd all be surprised how few people in this world actually realise how their quips and responses to others create destructive nightmares for people who already struggle heavily with guilt complexes, depression and lack of feeling like they belong in the first place..
Why are straight Americans having bad sex?
Maybe it's because they get such shitty #sex #education. We're lucky if #SexEd goes beyond "wait until marriage" and discusses tools for reducing the risk of unwanted pregnancy and STI transmission, but even that is inadequate.
There's nothing about courtship. There's nothing about how consent alone isn't enough.
There's nothing about how to communicate desire.
There's nothing about pleasure, loving touch, or orgasms.
American #SexEd is utter shit.
