    A TVT entry that happens to have been written by me was reposted by a blogger. I feel like I am famous now.

    The other day I learned that this (Spanish) autocorrector is aware of the word "tropero".
    If I'm not mistaken, TVT has grown in relevance throughout the internet, so it feels more and more like one of those "we were there" things.

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tropero
    Noun
    tropero m (plural troperos)

    (Latin America) cowboy
    Synonym: caballero

    Not sure whether Wiktionary hasn't caught up yet or it's just that there's another existing meaning.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    Huh.
    I guess it's more likely that that's the intended meaning behind that word, however obscure it can't be more obscure than the alternative.

    A tube under the sink broke, now the kitchen is all flooded. The valve that leads to it doesn't entirely close and for some reason the pipe stoppers I had lying around don't fit (the broken tube's fitting barely fit too) so I had to do some stuff with electrician's tape to block it.
    It shouldn't be too hard to fix it, hopefully, though definitely not at 3 in the morning.

    Ahhhh, reminds me of the time I had to unclog the toilet at midnight. Took me until 2 AM.

    My advice, make sure it's reasonably fixed before the night comes, because that electrician's tape doesn't quite make me unconcerned.

    So far, so good.
    I've noticed lately on Reddit the techie version of the "passionate artist vs. greedy executive" dichotomy, in which there's the assumption that some software's faults are caused by intervention from higher ups who slash budgets, set unreasonable deadlines and introduce money-grabbing features that developers are forced to abide by and never seem to be on with whatever the poster is opposing.
    Somewhat similar, an explanation one often hears (including from the link some time ago) about why NFT art is so awful is because artists are "too good" to work for scams, which means the profession behind weird drawn porn, war propaganda and art for false advertising (and non-NFT scams) can't be bought off to work into doing something better than the monkeys, that that's where they (heh) draw the line.
    (I assume the art is awful because the price is based entirely on speculation and not on artistic value.)

    If Matrix is anything to go by, the basic idea that an IT worker is deep inside a 1337 h2xx0r who'd rather spend time coding in his basement than, uh, coding in his cubicle an artist, was already established by 1999.

    Which leads me to an observation. Like, film and theater directors and actors, everyone accepts the idea that the tendency for artsiness can damage the overall project. There is the trope of "Shakespearean actor stuck in a stupid sci-fi series" to stand for the idea of "artist vs. executive", but in general, it seems that these professions get the least amount of sympathy of all artistic professions stuck in a conflict of this kind. Perhaps it's because they often have the clout to influence the entire project and there's been a few well-publicized cases of negative outcome of this actually happening.

    I has another molar removed today.

    Coincidentally, me too. Storm watch out, you're gonna run out of molars at this rate.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    I has
    Oh wow, anesthesia makes me sound like a lolcat.
    The doctor had trouble removing It, I was concerned that I'd have a molar half-dislodged, which would've required surgery, but in the ende It came off. Though I gotta wonder if it's normal that the aching isn't entirely gone.
    Coincidentally, me too.
    Molar or vaccine?

    Vaccine, but I have had a few unnecessary molars removed back in the day.

    Another nationwide blackout, we hadn't had one of those in a while. Five hours and counting.

    Some two weeks ago I read about a certain rare skin disease, with pictures, and after all this time I still fugging feel like that shizzle's growing out of my hands. Ugh. I say, it's worse than that lice video I watched the other day.

    I don't know why I have this (well, someone else posted this on Discord, which is how I got it, but I don't know why they have this), but

    Oh hi gacek! Long time.

    I have a lot of stuff I want to say; mainly one important thing and then lots of different normal/more general internet things.

    I don't really want to get into politics or anything so I'll try really hard to stay away.

    I don't think this is a permanent return, maybe a couple days sort of thing.

    I didn't expect just 226 comments in this thread whilst I was gone. That's less than one per day through the year. Makes me want to stay around and post way too much.

    I've certainly been checking it way less often than I used to.
    There's also a bunch of pictures I've been meaning to post on the images dump thread. Anytime now...
    Regardless, hello, and Merry (late) Christmas!

    Merry belated Christmas, fourteenwings!

    Amusingly, the politics thread has been largely quiet. (Not that that's a problem.)

    "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"
    Yeah, these days I only bring up the ridiculous stuff, and that feels a better fit to the Silly Regional thread than to politics.

    So hey guys, after getting that big thing off of my chest, I think I'll need to properly re-evaluate whether or not I want to come back full-time.

    If this is my last post here in a long while, possibly another year, I just want to say thanks for always being the great friends you are.

    I was just about to say, welcome back, so I guess I'll say, welcome back, like, either right now or wherever you prefer.

    There once was a limerick about stuff.
    It tried to be funny enough.
    But when subject to flame,
    its writer felt shame,
    and hurriedly left in a huff.

    (a thing i just came up with)
