      Last time I crashed out about a cfp rejection, I got into a conference with an even lower acceptance rate the next day.
      
      This time I won a raffle at a charity event for something I was going to buy either way. 🤣
      
      Maybe crashing out increases my luck.

      Every time I think I've overcome cfp rejection sensitivity, I'll get a new type of rejection to crash out over.
      
      "You were runner up, but no one dropped out."
      
      Well, now I know I hate "B+ with no idea how to get an A" way more than pass/fail.

      the year is 2030. a doctor gravely informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people who felt bad for a monkey bought polyester plushies that shed millions of microplastics in the laundry that were were eventually consumed by the fish that you ate

      Just got a call from the doctor's office after I cancelled an appointment. After a minute or so of normal-ish conversation (I moved neighbourhood, so no I don't want to reschedule etc) I detected something very slightly askew in her mannerisms, and she didn't seem to be fully understanding me.

      Glad to see both @tunetheweb.com and @philhawksworth.dev both got the khakis slack notification for @perfnow.nl
      two gentlemen sitting at a small table on a stage, during a q & a. They are both wearing khakis and have their legs crossed, with a black curtain behind them. One has a hand held mike, the other is wearing a cavalier mic.
