14:16:59 Colleen Your fortune for today is: nice shoes.

14:18:56 PincerAttack I have recovered from the flu

14:22:15 PincerAttack And how were you?

14:40:56 isoraqathedh I dribbled out some idle brain thoughts. https://cohost.org/isoraqathedh/post/4452004-a-note-of-equality

14:56:08 gingerale Welcome back, Pincers. That flu sounded quite bad taking this long. I hope you recovered well. My throat's only now finally alright after the covid last year.

14:56:58 PincerAttack Yeah, it took a while

14:57:45 gingerale Well, glad to have you back. Hopefully it didn't spread to everyone else in the household as well as it tends to.

14:57:52 PincerAttack Thanks

14:58:26 PincerAttack I caught it from mom, and thankfully only the two of us had it

15:02:37 gingerale Ahh, hopefully she's better too

15:03:50 PincerAttack She is

15:07:56 gingerale That's good to hear.

15:08:16 gingerale I should go buy food soon. Hm.. Wish it wasn't already getting dark.

15:08:46 shinmera PincerAttack: careful you don't catch the cooties immediately after now

15:08:53 shinmera I'm makin' piz dough

15:38:17 isoraqathedh I went to do the usual lunar new year things.

15:38:39 isoraqathedh It's fine! I enjoy it. Plus, I get to drive now. It's not my first choice but it is a little enjoyable.

16:41:31 shinmera good lord I just heard elizabeth holmes for the first time and why in the world would you intentionally train your voice to be like that??? she sounds like a boy going through puberty

16:45:16 isoraqathedh shinmera: She's trying to emulate Steve Jobs a lot. Which includes his voice, so she tries a baritone.

16:45:41 isoraqathedh I think she thinks that people won't take her seriously if she uses even an alto register.

16:47:12 isoraqathedh "Being Steve Jobs" is half her dress and behaviour manifesto. Her voice, what she wears, how she presents her thoughts and ideas, her general product direction – it's all Jobs and APple.

16:52:31 shinmera yea I understand what she's trying to do, but sounding like a pubescent teenager is far worse

17:06:47 gingerale I have no idea who that is

17:10:48 isoraqathedh gingerale: Theranos

17:10:56 gingerale Still doesn't tell me anything

17:11:28 isoraqathedh Tech woman tries to sell a machine that can do a lot of blood tests from not enough blood. Managed to dupe a couple of large companies before the con was found out and now she's in jail.

17:14:16 shinmera gingerale: silicon valley grift woman

17:14:37 shinmera listened to a behind the bastards on her just now

17:14:49 shinmera anyway ,pizza was very good

17:15:06 gingerale Oh boy

17:39:46 shinmera bleh, still haven't been able to figure out how to actually end the comic or create a proper arc within

17:40:04 shinmera I know the central crux now, but not how to "drag it out"

17:55:57 isoraqathedh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NtgppV_EsQ I just learnt of her from this.

17:55:57 Colleen www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nt... Website (HTML), Title: Silicon Valley Scammers - Theranos - YouTube

18:25:19 shinmera shaved my "stuff" some days ago. can recommend. feels much nicer.

18:25:31 shinmera it's also a lot harder to cut yourself than I anticipated

18:51:05 shinmera bleh, suddenly feeling melancholy again

18:55:29 PincerAttack Sorry to hear that

18:55:56 PincerAttack Tired already. Guess I'll go to sleep

18:56:01 shinmera sleep well

18:56:04 PincerAttack You too

20:41:14 shinmera almost forgot to do vp, whoops
