Space Quest 3. Wonderful story, funny, good music, and it always gave me this wistful feeling for some reason.

Only ignorant people. I had dreams of visiting and maybe doing a road trip, but under Trump I'm definitely not going there voluntarily. Even if my employer wants me to go there on business I'm refusing. I'd rather find another job than cross the US border.

Would you like a spatula? For your bunghole?

It's a Freudian rip

Here we often don't get receipts at all. The kiosk also shows the number on the screen, but for some reason they designed the UX so that when it can't print a receipt the number is only shown for a fraction of a second before it's hidden by a message saying "unfortunately we can't print a receipt right now".

As a developer myself it makes me feel like I want to stab whoever thought this was good enough.

Addiction is always an escape from something. What you escape to is happenstance, and people who have a tendency to get addicted often just find another addiction after leaving one, unless they can face the thing that they're escaping from.

But habit is also a strong force. Whatever you do repeatedly will train your brain to return to those thought patterns automatically. Find other associations for your daily events.

I escape from obligations and social pressure by closing myself off and coding. But I don't really think it has been enough of a hindrance in my life to do anything about it. Often it has been to my benefit (e.g. career) and it's a way to recharge my batteries.

Maybe you just need to find a replacement addiction that makes you happy. Try tea.

Not only that. An LLM read all of it and now we can just ask the LLM what it says.
