idk if i'm just walking in in a particularly crashtastic day in the life of retoor but
right now I am feeling so superior
I often write code then get really annoyed something random will break for no reason like 6 months down the line. and I absolutely loathe having running projects around because then I have to be doing maintenance and stepping away from whatever adventure I'm on at the time
but retoor's stuff is so immensely broken right now I can't even imagine my stuff getting that bad. I generally get sent up the wall when after 13 very specific steps something is off by 1 pixel
here everything is crashing every few minutes. messages get halfway written out/sent. even if they're sent bots don't reply. most of the bots are inoperable. the bots seem to not be connected to admin panels / information like (claimed to be? i never tested) before. the sites load slow even if they load
dev place just runs off the page to the right, and there's not even a scroll bar at the bottom for it
snek's chat bubble activates at half messages, not full messages
also snek's DING alert noise is still the most annoying thing ever. there is no reason to have a loud, high pitched, DING at 200% volume off a random background tab. It also only triggers like 10% of the time now on new messages instead of every message like it used to before
like so many things are broken in so many ways i don't even know if there's a point in itemizing8 -
I cracked my PS4 a while back and finally got around to simplifying the process and writing about it:

listening to some blue collar conspiracy theorists and it annoys me they keep saying how painful learning is. that whole segment of the population seems to have, what I view, like a suicidal depression about how doing good things is supposed to hurt you and I just find that so messed up. not only because I've never found learning to be painful. so I don't appreciate people, wildly and with 100% absolutely conviction, saying the experience of learning must always be painful like they're a church saying everyone is born with the original sin, or that every form of anger is a "negative" emotion like the psychologists, or that every form of stress degrades a person when eustress has been a concept for thousands of years... like you're literally making up a harmful myth, which becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, and it drives me nuts
do you find learning painful or is it effortless? or does it come with some other flavour of experience or emotion? am I nuts here? how do I deal with these religions -
