by far the WORST part about CSS is creating class names and avoiding repetition

figured out the trick to getting those retro-futuristic layouts. instead of thinking of flexboxes as flexboxes, think of them as tables. nest them. a lot. millions. also, use images for every little thing (unless the CSS alternative is worth it)

no matter how hard I try my site still won't look like a futuristic corporate site from the early 2000s. i think it's because i need to fully embrace the jank of the early net and use table layouts and/or Dreamweaver...

why used a gif of a striped background if you can layer 4 background-gradients on top of each other?

i give up on this whole "clean CSS" thing cause oh my FUCK. ive spent more time trying to get rid of repetition than actually designing anything
yeah, trying to have "clean css" is hard. i have like 5 seperate CSS files, i tried to put them together before but it just doesn't work, so i just swept it under the rug
I've managed to make it work easily with just a small amount of CSS, however I have to be careful or else it is a mess to update/change anything (not to mention, I'm intentionally trying to keep my layout simple)
i just don't bother
i'm the only person using/editing the code anyway so it doesn't matter
Style sheets are WAY less clunky if you minimize all those newlines and tabs (which I have never understood) and format each selector on a single line
