Sounds utterly weird, but I’m intrigued

Oh man, yes. Dream Scenario. It went so very awry when it became clear what it’s actually about.

Actually they misspelled ‘ware’, they’re talking about who the nation’s biggest hero is afraid of.

Jeeeesus fucking Christ. John Oliver is pretty funny but it almost doesn’t feel acceptable to be laughing during some of that. Anyway, glad I didn’t fall for it 😬

I got one which appeared at first to be a wrong number, just someone asking if I was Catherine or something. I politely informed them of their mistake. They kept messaging, already a bit weird, but then started saying I was “a nice man, nothing like other men” and I slapped that block button. Idk where it was going (not even a man lol, sorry love) but I’m confident it would have ended with asking me for money… Eventually.

What?

It’s an API call which emails a guy who just does it real fast by hand

I hope it has 2 pads and 2 sticks, like the deck! The only think I didn’t like about the original was having to use the right pad instead of a stick.

Oooof. I feel like trying to figure out what’s wrong with some regex I didn’t write is much harder than writing it myself personally.

There’s one small community on Reddit that just doesn’t exist here. Well, it does, but there’s like 5 members lol. If it weren’t for that I’d jump ship entirely. I am thinking maybe I’ll find a separate specific forum just for that one topic…

Simplified view is great on mobile. I just wish you could enable it manually!

The celestial source of all energy on Earth? Vital for life, and yet terrible, agonising to truly behold? Merely remaining in its presence burns the skin, and yet without its touch we become withdrawn, depressed? It’s coming quite literally heralds the dawn?

Not a god? Haha, good one. I’m off to the stone circle.

I was curious about this, did some reading - not only is it true but the effects are farther reaching than that.

Ah but don’t forget, we in the UK left the EU. Bo Jo already considered invading the Netherlands once.

One kid’s getting garbage collected either way

No gambling, one of the rules.

Takes a long time to close sales like that… Although I suspect paying above market rate for things would help grease the wheels.

From The One Sentence Persuasion Course by Blair Warren: “People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions, and help them throw rocks at their enemies”

I’ve found this helpful when trying to convince anyone of anything. The book breaks it down more, of course, but is probably not worth reading Vs the various summaries you can find online.

My summary, at least what I took from it is that you must try to understand the person you are negotiating with/pursuading. Figure out what they want, or what they’re afraid of, and offer that.

Oh, sorry the 45 page document is for something else. The only person who understands this dataset is Dave and he was made redundant 5 years ago. Anyway, can you get this done today?
