Wow, what powerful words created by a team of writers describing something make-believe that never happened. So inspiring.

“There once was a boy who felt sad about all the awful things in the world, but then he said “Stop it world! Be good instead!” and the world listened and became good and everyone lived happily ever after!”

There, doesn’t that help? Whenever you are overwhelmed with our dying planet, rampant corruption, and the enshittification of society as a whole; just remember my story! If you’re a child, you might just be able to convince yourself it’s really real and matters.

Running out of real world examples where resistance has any effect on stopping or even slowing the glacial slide of fascism so we have to dig into fantasy to find hope and inspiration. We’re so fucking screwed.

2 years seems like a nightmare for indie developers. Do you want a bunch of AI Chinese cash grabs pushing things out like Hollow Knight 2: Microtransaction Edition or Stardew Valley Romance Sims? Because without IP protection, indie developers will get creamed.

My dude… Not only can Asians be racist, they are some of the most racist people around. Go to China and listen to them talk about other races. They make Alabama seem like a pinnacle of equality and tolerance.

Uhg, I’m pretty sure I got 90% of the way through that game and then I took a break for some reason or another. Came back and was just completely lost. And just like you, cant even look up a guide because I don’t know where I’d begin to look.

This is one of those situations where that xkcd comic about experts comes into play.

So removing the ~/.steam directory after doing pkill steam didn’t help? That seems simpler than most Windows tasks.

I don’t know how to convey to you that 99% of the people that use Windows wont know how to do anything beyond trying to kill the app via the task manager. I’m one of them. What you said sounds like mystic gobbledygook to me.

Mass Linux adoption is still far out of reach for the average user.

That’s Pascal, Rapunzel’s trustworthy and loveably chameleon companion.

Is this a photo of irony?

John Goodman is another choice.

soon have only about 7 weeks

I’ll soon buy a house in maybe up to about 6 months or more, possibly less. Give or take a few months. Definitely sometime around then. Or after. Or before.

It’s more like the two previous attempts to remove the boot have involved throwing dandelions at it. Somehow, I don’t think a third tossing of dandelions is going to make a difference. This isn’t saying to stop trying to get the boot off your neck, but there comes a point where you must acknowledge that your methods aren’t going to work and it is, in fact, wasted effort to keep trying without changing anything.

My house is on fire, but I’m standing on the sidewalk spitting at it. At least I’m “actually trying to do something”, right?

Just in Time shipping and manufacturing only serves one purpose, making quarterly reports look good. Managers and equity firms LOVE JiT because keeping inventory on hand doesn’t balance well on their spreadsheets. They can not quantify inventory getting used over the course of a few years because they can’t see past the next quarter. To them, it’s lost profit; even if it doesn’t lose its value and is all but guaranteed to get used/sold eventually.

You would think more companies would have learned the merits of Just in Case manufacturing. Those that did absolutely thrived under COVID as they were the only ones still able to produce.

But no. The COVID crisis “ended” and companies went “Well something like that will certainly never happen again! Back to the old ways!”

As the economy burns, your rights are stripped away, and Palestine is bulldozed to the ground to make room for Trump resorts, I’m sure you’ll be able to sleep soundly while feeling like you kept your moral high-ground.

Eh… They do actually work for most people, unless they have been trained or take drugs to beat them. There is also a small portion of the population that will just throw false positives all over the place due to anxiety. Those are the reasons it’s not admissible in court. People take “not admissible in court” to mean polygraphs don’t work at all and are a pseudoscience, but really they work for like 95% of people.

They’re vastly different than Your Lie in April, which is a romance, but if you enjoy horror/gore, I’d recommend “Gantz” or “Berserk”.

Man Communism needs to step those numbers up.

Maybe if they just made some kind of Great Leap Forward, they too could kill hundreds of millions.

Gmail on mobile is pretty horrendous as well.

Me: “Hey Google, can you pull up the emails with links to the concert tickets I purchased a few months back?”

Google: “Here is every correspondence you’ve had with the ticket seller smashed into a single email with only the latest one visible”

“But I purchased two tickets separately that came in different emails, how do I just get to those?”

“🤷‍♂️”

Here’s my take on it:

On days when I’m working at 100%, I’ll admit, I do better in the office than I do at home.

However, I don’t always work at 100%, and I have MORE 100% days at home than I do at work.

In an average week, I will get more accomplished working from home than I will at work, simply because I am more motivated and energized while at home.

Shaun of the Dead, but this particular scene is nothing like the meme is portraying it as. In fact, the two images arent even from the same scene.
