There's someone at work who has an auto-reply set for every email she gets. She proudly states she only checks her email twice a day. She also refers to herself in the third-person. I don't work with her. I've never even met her in person. I hate her. Smug, condescending bellend.

When I was around 13, my Dad bought a pet snake. It had some sort of birth defect where it was missing one of its eyes. Cue me going around school obliviously bragging about "my Dad's one-eyed snake" not knowing why all the other kids and staff were laughing so hard.

It should be illegal for people's birthdays to be between the 23rd and 27th of December. If you're born on one of those days, your parents should be legally required to choose either 22nd or 28th as your alternate birthday.

“Look. What do you see?”
“Nothing.”
“Billions of atoms, spinning at random, expending energy, running down, achieving nothing.
“Entropy, like the stars. But what is the one thing that stands against entropy, against random decay? Life. See how the atoms are arranged here? They have meaning, purpose.”

KDE Plasma 6.5 released
KDE is on a roll lately, and keeps on rolling with today's release of KDE Plasma 6.5. As the project itself notes, this release focuses on relatively small improvements, refinements, and other niceties, without making any massive changes. With Linux desktops taking accessibility more seriously lately than ever before, I want to focus on the accessibility improvements first.
