Well, I guess we have several hotlines for major mental health crises. I’ve not found one that’s specifically for sadness. Which is a shame because often the road to major mental health crises is paved with a lot of minor ones.

In The Sims 4, the sims can call this service number if they’re feeling really sad and want to talk to someone about how sad they are.

I wish we had that kind of a service here for real.

Most of this stuff is probably in creative tools/technology side. Nikon cameras, Asus computers, Wacom tablets, stuff like that. Because for these purposes I prefer to buy known-good tools that I’ll be able to use for a decade or more.

Or, rather, most compiled languages are just syntactic sugar on top of assembly, and that’s especially true with C. (Oh, you can use curly brances and stuff for blocks? That’s sure easier to read than the label mess you get with assembly.)

Reminds me of the time when AI image generation was new, and someone generated a bunch of screwed up road intersections with stuff like circular crosswalks and whatnot. Everyone was like “humans can’t fix the traffic, but don’t worry, computers can’t fix it either.” …I think about it a lot.

My other pet peeves besides these:

• Android locking screen a second before I jab the screen, every single time
• YouTube app. Android and smart TVs. What’s wrong with it? (Vague overall gesturing) It’s garbage. How is one of the biggest tech companies in the world able to ship this and expect people to pay money for subscriptions is beyond me.
