Sat Sep 15 08:39:52 EDT 2018 Slept from eleven-thirty to six-thirty. Woke once in the night. High of eighty-two and mostly sunny today. Goals - Play with D&D stuff Done. - Register for U-Con events? Nope, still not open. Just scrolled through all the titles in Netflix's "Horror" category. Their catalog has gotten very shallow. They add enough new content that there's always a small handful of things I want to watch, I guess. Watched KL Zombi; dumb but fun. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/9fzdk9/in_ancient_athens_women_were_very_cloistered_and/ > But I suspect that there is also some social anxiety. The men weren't dummies; they seemed aware that their society was bad for women and that the women didn't like it. That did not seem to motivate a desire to reform, but rather a sort of fear that the women would act up. Plays like Medea could be seen as a crystalization of those anxieties. Xfce looks like a nice desktop. It's workspace scheme seems to align more or less with my workflow. Not that I'm looking to ditch i3.... Sitting down to write some JavaScript has illustrated how much Go has improved my code style across languages. Chatted with Ed and Jay online about politics and D&D. Ed about what stance we should take to Russia: "Basically I am arguing for appeasement". Feh. On Russia and immigration, etc., he's totally bought into the Trump/far-right/Fox News fear machine. Even some really disturbing and stupid war against the white race nonsense. I predicted he'd be extremely chagrined about all this in a few years. Breakfast: coffee, perogies Lunch: ice cream Dinner: pizza
