The mental health care thing is so frustrating.

Let’s enact some gun control laws because most guns used in mass shootings are bought legally.

“No, it’s a mental health issue!”

Well, then let’s fund mental health services and increase access to them.

“No, that’s not my problem.”

Played out again and again. I mean I know it’s all just deflection, but dammit at least try to have a consistent position.

Knowing how easily someone could figure out who I am, I am very cautious to never say anything on the internet that I wouldn’t back up in real life. Keeps me honest, I guess, or at the very least consistent.

They are trying their damndest with this and going after IVF, but so far it hasn’t moved the needle too much.

Cursed with multiple accounts to this day for a stupid service they could barely force me to use.

It’s just self-fulfilling prophecy at this point. No one trust Google to keep anything around for more than a couple years so they don’t use it. Then it gets scrapped as a failure and everyone is proven correct.

I’m learning that I’m just enough of a front end dev to make a very ugly site. Navigating all the various CSS and JS frameworks feels like pulling teeth.

At our company, the person who specializes in that is dubbed Software Architect. Every dev is expected to uphold those values to a certain degree.

Definitely adding “when the deification hits the oscillation” to my vernacular.

The difference to be is when people start whining because you’re not playing the “meta”, or start yelling at teammates when they make a mistake. Even if you’re all about climbing the ranks, there’s fun and polite ways to guide people without ruining the experience for everyone.

Figuring out how to solve one of the early raids in Destiny 2 was some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing a video game. Unfortunately it’s hard to get even my friends to want to go into a raid without knowing how to clear it as fast as possible. I get it, we don’t have as much time to play games as we used to, but man does it suck the fun out of things. Why even bother playing at that point?

I think it’s because, visually, 3:15 puts the minute hand a quarter of the way around the clock face. Digital clocks don’t have a corresponding visual.

Maybe because they simply enjoy what they’re doing and want to share it?

Alright you don’t like the comic, that’s fine, but why so rude?

I swear a solid 60% of what we talk about is our dog. The same jokes every single day but they’re still somehow funny.

We’ll play random little “games” while trying to get to sleep, usually without actually saying anything. Thumb wars, call-and-response tapping, spelling things out by touch, and most often, doing that stupid circle game thing while the other one is trying to hold hands.

I’ll also sometimes hold my phone up to my dog’s ear and he’ll say “Moshi moshi, Puppy desu!” Very stupid but it cracks me up every time.

Nah, no need for this kind of gatekeeping. Anyone who deals with js and its billions of frameworks on a daily basis deserves to be called a developer.

According to this Reddit post, it’s apartments for highway workers. Not sure how to verify that, but you can see from the pictures that it’s not a house.

Reminds me of a cool music video.

Honestly not being able to move the start bar and being told it won’t be changed because their awful new start menu needs it that way was a dealbreaker. Been running Linux Mint exclusively on my desktop for the past few months and it’s been pretty smooth, even for playing games. Thank goodness for Proton!

I wouldn’t call it lazy necessarily, everyone just has limited time and energy to invest in stuff and probably had no idea of the risks.
