Aged 32, finding each year more enjoyable as I grow into a career and have more disposable income

Kovid Goyal was extremely unhappy about python2 being sunsetted. He was pondering maintaining it himself at one point because it required such a re-write porting to python3.

Probably shouldn’t have been bringing up my heavy experiences on your light hearted post. Just recently recovered so still marvelling at how thoroughly it messes up your shit.

I had a horrible experience with psychosis earlier this year. The thing I never grasped before is how none of it appears like a hallucination like adventurous people might have experienced in other contexts. The whole thing appears real and totally credible. I had the spotlight effect and had become convinced there was some kind of conspiracy against me where the neighbours had dispatched assassins to my flat.

I seriously doubt someone in the throws of a psychotic episode is able to consent in a meaningful way.

Many people post online because they want to have an argument or bait other people into an argument. I’m not sure how you can correct a fundamental human flaw in a specific online community.

Given my work as a dev I’ve pretty much always got BBC Sounds on in the background while I’m working. Mainly Radio4 but also Radio6 for music and sometimes sports on Radio5 (Australian Open tennis is a personal favourite for cold winter mornings.)
