Boy, not often that I re-upload my entire site. Bug fixes, accessibility and navigation improvements, other minor things.

I'm really embarrassed about the Pride & Prejudice index page. Turns out none of the links have a closing tag.

I feel that. I have put pages into prettier.io and essentially gotten back, "YOUR CODE IS SO EFFED UP WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START."

@pudding Pro tip: You don't need closing tags if you're truly never finished with your thoughts.

@emily For what it's worth I took a quick look at the sources for a few of your pages. I wasn't scrutinizing, but I also didn't see anything that made me spontaneously burst into flames. So you're probably good.

If this even cracks the top 50 dumbest things you've ever done, you're killin' it, and also probably have a better written list than many.

The second-dumbest thing I ever did was, upon getting out of the boat to retrieve the fishing lure I cast on shore, telling my father to hold the rope currently tied to the boat so he wouldn't drift away from me.

The "why" of working so hard on that billboard is to pay medical bills and afford enough fun things to soften the blow of never being able to retire- Source: am in marketing

skep 11 months ago

Sure, we're all slaves to capitalism after all, but if you're going to spend the time anyway, may as well make the effort worth it.

skep 11 months ago

For example, if the casino billboard came right out and said "We're your only shot at retirement", I'd respect that a hell of a lot more than trying to sell me on shrimp scampi.

miela583 11 months ago

My thought on how it went would be that, at some point someone had an interesting or fun idea, and they got their paycheck for that, but the sales rep who sold them the billboard got cold feet and yelled at the creatives team until they backed down to “shrimp scampi” so sales could get the safest commission possible.

Hm. Well that's believable but harder to twist into a semi-inspiring blog post.

One of the things that psychedelics always make clear to me is that all of our built environment is the product of human thought, effort, and suffering. How much ANY of it inherently "means" is up for grabs. Understanding the world this way can either be maddeningly nihilistic or it can be humanizing, to know that our built environment is a material manifestation of our collective needs and foibles.

Exactly why I personally shoot for two parts empathy, two parts apathy, and a dash of pointing out all the wrong details.

Trusted media analyst Skep, finally played Sayonara Wild Hearts over here, and am glad I have a time delay on my posts so I don't just type joyous profanity. Thanks for the recs so I finally played it after.... 5 years sitting on my Switch!

Gold rank is pretty fair so long as you don't drop your combo and are decent about hitting the hearts. Anyway you inspired me to have another go through this morning, and now I've already hit my emotional limit for the day.
