  1. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    Never allow your mind to dwell on your own misconduct: that is ruin. The conscience has morbid sensibilities; it must be employed but not indulged, like the imagination or the stomach.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 7.1 “Discipline of Conscience”

  10. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Unless a man has talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Of what avail is freedom to choose if the self be ineffectual? We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, “to be free from freedom.” It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered themselves cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying orders. Had they not joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from responsibility?

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 5, § 26 (1951)

  14. A quotation from Montesquieu

    I suffer from the disease of writing books and being ashamed of them when they are finished.

  19. Turns out, the issue wasn’t the code, the architecture, or the universe conspiring against me

    it was the idiot in the chair. Again. 😅

    This time, I debugged with local Ollama (because zero data leaks, folks) and discovered my masterpiece:

    a .env file nested inside an .env file nested inside another .env file.

    System A had no clue what System B was telling System C to do. Essentially, I built a politician.

  20. #MissKittyRaw #Mental #Health Fuck #self-deprecation. That's not #humility, that's #self-gaslighting. You're way better than you gave yourself credit for most of the time. Here's advice I heard second hand that I have made mine as often as I can remember: I'm not allowed to treat me worse than #God.

  22. I sometimes use self deprecation to tell you "don't llisten to me, I'm no academic...or am I? I don't think I am one!"

    so that you won't listen to me if you have strong feelings about what I talk about.

    But who make the real waves from their ripples if nobody gets upset or interested in what you gotta say?

    Right?

    Neurodiversity so far are only small ripples but when are they going to turn into waves?

  26. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    But when thoughts and words are collected and adjusted, and the whole composition at last concluded, it seldom gratifies the author, when he comes coolly and deliberately to review it, with the hopes which had been excited in the fury of the performance: novelty always captivates the mind; as our thoughts rise fresh upon us, we readily believe them just and original, which, when the pleasure of production is over, we find to be mean and common, or borrowed from the works of others, and supplied by memory rather than invention.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1754-03-02), The Adventurer, No. 138

  30. A quotation from George Washington

    Though in reviewing the incidents of my Administration I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence, and that, after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.

    George Washington (1732–1799) American military leader, Founding Father, US President (1789–1797)
    Letter (1796-09-17), "Farewell Address" [with J. Madison, A. Hamilton]

    My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments on it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.

  41. A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

    My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments on it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)

  43. A quotation from A. A. Milne

       “Wait a moment,” said Winnie-the-Pooh, holding up his paw.
       He sat down and thought, in the most thoughtful way he could think. Then he fitted his paw into one of the Tracks … and then he scratched his nose twice, and stood up.
       “Yes,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
       “I see now,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
       “I have been Foolish and Deluded,” said he, “and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.”

    A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
    Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 3 “Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting” (1926)
