What have you tried so far?

You may even find you… enjoy it. 😱

Looks good

Depends if you’re just a hedonist, or a sadist, I imagine.

Yes. All the time

Years.

I don’t usually even start on something unless it’s been swimming in the back burner soup with the other ideas for at least a year. Then when I go to work on it it’s invariably mixed in with other ideas that have been back there waiting for the right moment.

I guess my real answer is that I never give up on an idea. Maybe a decade, realistically? But even then I feel like the spirit of the idea lives on in the soup.

You’re just eating Christmas food early though

I’m sorry that sounds so overwhelming. Is there anyone you press into your service to help out? Also potluck is great for these things because then no one has to cook more than one thing.

My partner’s parents just straight up said they’re not hosting anymore because it’s too much work. It’s allowed.

Thanks for sharing that. My family has been a bunch of loners as soon as the kids went their separate ways, but recently we’re experimenting with getting together for the holidays.

It doesn’t exactly come naturally to any of us, but I’m going to try to appreciate the moments while we have them.

Stress.

But every now and then I get a little whiff of the magic dust that other people seem to love. Like watching my partner dress a tree while listening to Frank Sinatra.

I don’t have any of the nostalgia for the effects, but I can put on a jovial kind of tolerance.

I’m building a new nostalgia, so that in a couple decades maybe I’ll really feel it.

I remember the first time I discovered Comic Sans. Probably like many other people - I was playing around with fonts on a school computer, and was like whoa… what is this font, I love it! It’s like a comic book!!!

Like seriously what is not to love.

Then my generational cohort of cynical millennials took to the internet and bonded over mutual hatred, and dragged this poor typeface which only ever wanted to bring a little levity to otherwise cold, machine produced text.

It’s beautiful

Yes! Weaponized naivety is a powerful tool.

Same. My partner calls me a fortress. She is frequently coming down with colds, like once a year at least. And covid twice. Meanwhile, I haven’t got noticeably sick since the first lockdowns.

Hope that doesn’t just mean I’m contagious af. I keep testing negative on the RATs anyway

The number of times I’ve been “accused” of being gay just because I don’t have a problem with homo couples. Sometime in the 200Xs I stopped correcting people and went with “so what if I am gay” which added a real satisfying record scratch moment to arguments.

Let them believe I’m gay if they want, it’s none of their fucking business, and they should be aware there are queer folk in stealth mode literally in every aspect of their lives.

Yeah nothing to be proud of but I can’t discount how powerful this one is, now that I’m “woke” to it.

Like I have worked for people for years and just not known they were racist or sexist, only for them to let it slip. And then you see behind the mask.

Realising why there are no people of colour in my office, or women with any kind of power. Realising I would not have this job if I was not a white man.

Yeah seriously need something printer quality

It’s interest on a loan, or unfair (high) interest on a loan, depending on where you are.

Why don’t you tell me some more about what you like about Fossil… I’m assuming you’ve used other version control systems - how would you compare the feeling of actually using it in a collaborative workflow? How did you even come across Fossil in the first place?

This is my first time hearing about it, so would love to hear more straight from an actual user.
