Yeah. I wouldn’t bring it up as a non sequitur but it’s pretty important.

We’re a stupid country rules by assholes and morons.

You just know if someone tried to make a serious push for it, all the fox news types would go into a frenzy. It’d be an easy way to whip up their idiot base.

I’ve had several girlfriends who were like “you play video games? Like… <worried expression> call of duty?”

They were all relieved when I was like no.

Less relieved when I got them to play cuphead co-op.

I accept that your job likely has different cadences than software development, in addition to personal preference.

Most software engineers I’ve talked to don’t like being interrupted in the middle of some deep thought. Especially if it means shelving current work to check out something else

I didn’t mean I need them to keep it digital. I meant I don’t want my train of thought interrupted. A “take a number” and “now serving” sign would work fine, if it gated the conversation until I was ready. Or just they send a message asking to talk and wait for me to say “ok come on over”

• poor heating/cooling. Usually offices aren’t a comfortable temperature for everybody.

• not getting compensated for the commute. It’s a pay cut. Fuck you, management.

• people that just walk up to your desk and start asking questions. Send a message like “can we talk about XYZ?” and I’ll get to it when I get to it. Though this maybe is a learned behavior from people who are bad at responding to messages.

I had a pair of coworkers that would chat over slack all day. One of them had a laugh. My other coworker at the other side of the large office would message me “what’s so fucking funny over there?”. I never knew because they never shared.

Shouldn’t be allowed. Companies shouldn’t be allowed to buy each other. We already know what happens with consolidation.

Desktop: 0. It’s off. I close the browser when I’m done

Phone: the number says 64, but only 25 “active”. I should probably prune.

Rich people don’t want to give anything up.

Assholes don’t want their out-group to have anything nice. Even if it means they suffer.

Many people don’t know shit about fuck, and they’re just trying to get through the week.

My dad used to rant about how government should be run like a business,

Anyone who sincerely believes that is too fucking ignorant and or stupid to be taken seriously. They’re a hazard to themselves and their polity.

As with all things involving humans, you can’t really change minds with facts. It’s just emotions and peer pressure.

Not a bad post, but I expect it won’t sway people who aren’t already on board.

I think a plain cheese pizza is slightly different than a margherita pizza. It won’t typically have the basil leaves, and the cheese is more uniform.

I’m thinking of like dollar slice pizza. Like these https://secretnyc.co/seamless-dollar-cheese-slice/

But I’m not a pizza-ologist.

Speaking on behalf of a friend, as I prefer toppings: they discovered that a variety of things give them body problems, and it’s easier to just do a plain cheese pie than to try to guess if peppers are going to upset their body today.

The antithesis of a cheese pizza is a pizza with toppings. It’s an idiom, so I wouldn’t recommend thinking too hard on it.

I will continue to not buy EA products. Fuck 'em

Fuck. Fuck all this AI slop.

I suppose. But I remember old games came on multiple disks.

I also think that chasing every higher graphics has reached diminishing returns. Style counts for more than fidelity, I think.

No.

• most people don’t know about it
• many actual children won’t care
• many “gamers” are little better than children

Interesting. I dislike writing bash scripts so this might appeal to me, but probably not before a stable 1.x release.
