I’ve found that the best way to utilize alcohol when programming is to code sober and comment drunk. It’s a wonderful way to make commenting both fun to write and to read later.
I have tried coding under the influence, but I can’t do it. Even small amounts of alcohol makes it really hard to do anything complex. But if it works for you, good on ya.
I remember in Revenge of the Sith, when the actor playing Vader yells “nooooooooo”, at what is supposed to be the emotional climax of the trilogy, the theater roared in laughter....

“Christians today have become the most vitriolic tribe,” said Ritchson, who himself identifies as a follower of Jesus. “It is so antithetical to what Jesus was calling us to be and to do.”
Lol. Is that an actual quote? It is hilariously bad. Reminds me of the Remo pulp fiction series I used to read as a kid when there was nothing else to read. That was even more over the top, but by much less than I would’ve thought from watching the Tom Cruise Jack Reacher movie. Might have to read one just for shits and giggles.
The thing is, they want us depressed. Depressed peons doesn’t want to fight injustices, they just hide under the covers and doomscroll the internet. We aren’t built to handle the massive amount of info we are constantly force fed through all available channels. Our lizard brains are not good at prioritizing between threats and media and astroturfing are constantly overstating the importance of the current threat. There are SO many threats and issues to choose from that it seems insurmountable. Where to even start? If you are the kind of person that cares and have a bit of empathy it can be too much to handle.
I don’t have a fits-all solution to combat care-fatigue, I really don’t. That said, it might help to list the shit that needs dealing with that are important to you. Prioritize engagement from that list. How much effort and/or money can you spend? Where can it have the most effect? Put it there and do something. Anything. Just try to be a force for good in this fucked-up world. Helping others will lessen the despair, it really will. Again - you can’t help everyone, but you can help someone. Let that be enough.
Also - eat the rich, it’s all their fault. Don’t let them tell you otherwise.
I do plan to transition, but that is realistically 4-5 years away, which sucks because I’m over 50 and only very recently realized I’m a trans woman. Tempus fugit and all that, but I want it done like tomorrow. So much wasted time already. I know the process needs to happen, but a girl can dream, right?
I was this years old when I realized I’m trans and the wait to even start a medical evaluation is about three years where I live and it’ll take a year or two. So before I get to the transition it’ll be at least 5 years. Fuck that’s depressing…
No, a Nordic country. I’m not sure about why the queue is so long, but it is partly because they have trouble recruiting doctors and probably funding. It’s always money, right?
I guess I’m a trans tomboy? I’m new to all this so I don’t have the lingo down yet. I have two ex-wives and I think I want an ex-husband too. But it’ll have to wait. I recently realized I need someone who sees me as a woman and that’s likely not happening anytime soon. Right now it feels like I want to wait until after bottom surgery. It’ll be a long wait, but I’ve decided not to let old hang ups and preconceived notions dictate my life any longer so it might change if I meet the right person. I’m not sweating it, though.
