@Lady i'm currently reading a Michael Moorcock novel that has a fair bit of kinky royal sex (involving AU Elizabeth I). though i assume he's not exactly a fan
@pan it is p common i think. though sometimes with connotations of being especially tired or sleepy beforehand?
minor injury
@pan ty Pan 💟
@Lady that was maybe phrased a bit abrupt of me, sorry about that.
minor injury
ah, the curse of going outside: twisting my ankle
@Lady yeah, and none of those support voseo.
¿¿por qué el autocorrect de iphone no entiende voseo?? la OS tiene una configuración de idioma llamada "Español (Argentina)" pero el teclado no... :(
oh, the free covid tests thing in the US is ending September 2 'cause congress didn't get them any funding to buy more tests. so like, if you're in the US and you haven't already gotten 3 sets of those, consider doing so (https://special.usps.com/testkits)
@aescling i appreciate you, yr catness. though not out of obligation
@pan ehehee
oooh pivotal tracker has a free tier now??
programming
@Lady yeah. i'm not really surprised by that, more just by how unwieldy the DOM is. kinda hoped that was just a javascript problem
programming
xpath sure is a lot more convenient for parsing data out of xml formats than the DOM interface
rotoscoping rules tbh
@aescling that runs into the problem of it also has to be something i have any reason to want to watch. which, tricky needle to thread
i think i'll just rewatch A Scanner Darkly
hmm, anybody got any recs for movies to watch that i will not have to particularly care about or pay attention or regret if i doze off in the middle of?
also, unlike scream, fright night was actually a horror movie with comedic elements rather than a comedy full of horror references
i think, if i compare it to scream (being also a highly referential comedy horror movie), fright night is the more enjoyable film in itself, but its overt metatextual elements were weaker (being mostly just allusions to vampire films as a whole; although then again maybe there's a lot of more specific bits i missed because of my limited familiarity with the genre and the film not namedropping specific films)
