I’m sorry but I’m certain you meant Michelle Rodriguez.

I learned how to do a fucking LOT of statistical shit in my degree. I also learned to get REALLY good at all kinds of shit in Excel.

Guess which helped my career on an actual practical way the most? Guess which made people seek me out at work for help with things?

Sometimes Excel is what’s available. Sometimes it’s just faster to do it that way rather than code up some ridiculously overdone solution in some programming language. Having both skills is best, but don’t shit on opening an excel and just fucking getting it done, whatever it is.

If used right, it can also be a great equalizer with those less technically skilled in your workplace. You can quickly format and tune things and even layer a little bit of vba to make their lives easier without having to get into the complexity of an entire bespoke coded solution.

Also, a reminder for those in the back. For most of us, we aren’t in college to learn a specific skill so much as we are there to learn how to be taught. To prove we are capable of taking instructions and producing results as requested.

If you never understand this, then you’ll never understand later why you fail to land a high quality job.

So apparently if you aren’t a fucking scientist, then dick pics are okay to send to you.

The “type” of people shouldn’t fucking matter.

Thought I’d read bazzite was forked from something no longer updating and they were possibly going to end it?

I’d long been mulling over what distro to switch my family computer to soon. But after years with Steam Deck and digging through so many suggestions for months, I really think I’m just going with SteamOS. Good enough.

Hollywood truly is out of ideas and just outsourcing.

Wait for something fucking idiotic like:

“U.S. government to implement 5,000% tax on new solar technology…”

You’re being disingenuous. I think what OP is getting at might be both that cops are never in the wrong, and that the guilty is always clear.

At this point, I’m tired of glorification of police. They get it wrong. A fucking lot.

There’s a good reason Brooklyn 99 ended. At least that had the balls to do it.

My narcissistic, selfish, and abusive parents abused things like “because I said so,” “you’ll understand when you’re older,” and “you’ll understand when you have kids” among other things.

I now understand. They were shitheads that never wanted to actually explain things or be held accountable for their fucking abuse. I understand that it literally took EFFORT for them to be so goddamn angry and verbally/physically abusive to us, and it takes a serious level of hate to sprinkle in the emotional neglect and somehow be okay with treating your child like that.

I can’t fathom doing half the shit they did.

Jurassic Sith

If you spend more time to consider and think about the differences between spirituality and religion, you’d see what I’m getting at. There’s a blurring of lines sure, but a lot of these religious activities are not at all necessary for their beliefs, and merely a choice that fulfills them in a similar manner as other hobbies.

California’s general mishandling of nature and natural resources is a great example of what I’m talking about. We don’t have a fucking clue, yet we think we know better, and no lessons get learned despite how clearly wrong our solutions are. Like the wildfires and water “management.”

To be clear, most other states are also run by morons making idiotic natural resource decisions. California’s just a good example since you brought it up.

I dunno what counts as big budget, but 30 Minutes or Less was seen as tasteless in how it was based on a real-life serious event that had occurred.

On a false advertising note, the movie’s run time is 1 hour, 23 minutes. Bullshit.

Kirby vaccuums maybe? More like a MLM back in the day.

For a lot of people, when you look at how they spend their time, it is clear that their religion is both their belief system AND their hobby.

Think of the “Bible study” types. They’ve turned it into a hobby-like activity. Some I knew growing up clearly had nothing else. It was their hobby.

Warhammer. The tabletop one with the figures, not the video games.

Vacations/travel for some people. Its clearly something where they have zero clue about their privilege and zero self awareness as they talk about it.

Parenting. Seriously, it becomes some people’s only fucking identity and the way they talk about it feels like religious proselytizing mixed with a bit of used car salesperson energy.

Comic conventions. Some people make it uncomfortable how seriously they take it.

Wasting some time on Lemmy trying to leave shitty comments just looking to rile people up or something.

No! How dare! My unique lived experience is unique to only me and my arbitrary group! You can’t be the same!

What next? You gonna tell me the “wait 5 minutes” joke about weather basically applies everywhere?

Then we go and define things as “invasive” as if the world hasn’t been ever-changing for billions of years. As if we know better and need an environment to remain exactly as we found it, forever. As if nature won’t just fucking figure it out.

I wonder how much Edward Norton got paid to be in this.

Maybe Scotland. If they could fully separate from the dead weight down south.
