So I was watching tiktok and happened upon a live stream of someone polishing rocks in like a gigantic tumbler cauldron thing. She was pattering on fast about various crystals and stones, I think they're all for sale.

She holds up this long cylindrical one and a woman off-camera goes, "That one very good boyfriend. You buy. Very good boyfriend."

I am deceased now.

There are very few things like stumbling through getting some stranger's C++ hobby project to compile after both they and I have neglected it for 3 years

For additional challenge, I barely know what I'm doing in C++ and just kind of flail at it until the errors go away.

But then, that's my secret: I'm always flailing at everything until the errors go away.

So I got a new t-shirt

Also, I have engaged in some OBS shenanigans for possible livestreaming this weekend
