I you come into my notes to ask for donations or whatever for any cause:

You will be blocked and reported as spam.

I never reblog donation post from people I don’t know well enough to recognise their face. My inbox is for two things: rock-related questions, and shenanigans. Nothing else!

Or, to put it another way:

Aan de deur wordt niet gekocht, en jezus? Zet die maar in de achtertuin.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

shout out to the people in the notes saying "this is so true except actually middle age starts in your 30s and ends at 50". you are completely wrong and you're the target of this post, get help.

funniest response so far is that middle age is actually 35-50 but that you're not 'old' until you're over 60. great news for that decade in between. category error, you're young again.

lmao so y'all know how I'm a software engineer right. and we're mandated to use specific software to build our automated processes in (which only lets us properly deploy packages if we're on Firefox, which is a blocked app within the bank, so it deletes Firefox off my machine overnight and I have to reinstall it every morning and ignore the popup saying it's not allowed)

anyway the bank blocked the software. that we use. to build the processes that the bank runs on

wait no it's chrome too, and sourcetree

@greatscottdoc @massive-tank i'm so thrilled to announce that I logged in this morning to find that they now no longer allow us to reinstall Firefox! and have instead blocked it entirely. which means we can't deploy anything at all, since all other browsers block essential content of the admin screen for the software we use 👍

The secret to being a private person is to overshare dumb shit so people think you are an open book but then not tell them any of the important details of your life.

Cleansing thermonuclear fire

What would it take to turn the world into one big fusion reaction, wiping it clean of life and turning it into a barren rock? Asking for a friend.

By now I’m sure you know about the “Trinity scientists worrying whether the test would set the atmosphere on fire” story, although this post is the most complete examination of the story I’ve found.

One interesting tidbit: the fireball was much brighter and longer-lasting than James Conant had expected, and so for a moment he thought it had really happened:

Then came a burst of white light that seemed to fill the sky and seemed to last for seconds. I had expected a relatively quick and bright flash. The enormity of the light and its length quite stunned me. My instantaneous reaction was that something had gone wrong and that the thermal nuclear [sic] transformational of the atmosphere, once discussed as a possibility and jokingly referred to a few minutes earlier, had actually occurred.

Everyone has had those brief “oh shit!” moments of pure panic, although I’m willing to bet no one has ever had one quite like James Conant briefly thinking he had just annihilated all life on earth.
