I imagine if all you do is watch films, you get tired of common stuff. You’ve seen it before. But if you only watch films sometimes, some of that is still interesting to you.
Kind of like how some video game nerds will be only “only double soj 2x blan Blah is viable” but like other builds do fine for everything except some optional mega bosses
I was at a major concert the other day waiting in line for the bathroom. So many men just strolled out of there without even looking at the sink.
Oh. Well. I don’t think anger is an appropriate response, unless you’re some sort of evil light mode gremlin that switches people’s settings on them.
I did give some of my old coworkers shit whenever they shared screen with full light mode, because it was like a mini flashbang.
It’s uncomfortably bright, especially if the room isn’t already very bright. My apartment is lit by a single lamp and a little sunlight from the windows. Full screen light mode is like a flashlight in my face, and too big a change in brightness every time I look around my apartment and then back to the screen.
Do you have trouble seeing dark mode? That’s hard for me to imagine.
Microsoft 365 is a worse name than Microsoft Office.
Cis male. Often yes, but there’s always room for improvement. I lean on metaphor a little hard sometimes.
I had a relationship where the other person was very Guess Culture (as opposed to Ask) and that didn’t work very well at all.
I think most people are kind of bad with money, and I think that scales with income.
I think a lot about some old coworkers (six figure salary). We all wanted to go out for a party after work. A bunch of then paid like $80 for a car. I paid $3 for a subway ride. Got there at the same time.
Maybe that’s not so much “bad at money” exactly as have incomprehensible to me values.
When making small talk I usually explicitly differentiate between “what do you do for money?” and “what do you do for fun?”
Sometimes people are surprised by the latter, but it’s usually a more fun topic.
Saw the comic and knew the thread would be a train wreck. So many dudes take this kind of thing deeply personally and throw up colored flags about themselves.
People believe based on feelings, not facts. That’s all it is.
Been pretty happy with Linux for the past year or two.
A few minor problems here and there. I was struggling to figure out how to adjust the screen brightness (pop!_os defaults). Found a command line tool to adjust gamma - my girlfriend was a little baffled. Then I realized I should just adjust the brightness on the display itself, on the hardware.
I make a list between shopping of stuff I realize I should get (eg: peanut butter). When I go, I sometimes just grab stuff that’s cheap or appealing.
I also live like 5 minutes away on foot from several grocery stores, so it’s not a big deal to go.
Maybe I should check out their grocery options. I’ve mostly been using Too Good to Go for like a pizza @ $4.
s it possible for Chic-fil-a to ever redeem itself in your eyes?
I honestly haven’t been following them.
Did they ever admit fault? That’s big for me. An explicit “we were wrong”
I call my cat by his name. Not his full name, just the first name unless he’s being formally introduced or in a lot of trouble.
Yeah I feel like 400 years ago in a life where you’ve never seen sparkling colors, they were impressive. We have many other colors and lights now with fewer downsides.
I feel like every retro I’ve attended has been a farce.
“What went bad? We said doing it this way would be harder and more risk prone. Management insisted we do it that way, and it took longer than and caused a site outage.”
"What should we do differently?’
“Listen to the team next time”
“That won’t happen”
Depending on how the html is structured, you might be able to use adblock or tamper monkey to filter it out (in a browser. Apps are less supportive of this)
Many times the people who would make the best decisions are not authorized to make decisions.
Should we go into the office every day? Well the workers say no, objective productivity measurements say no, the environment says no, but some insipid sack of shit feels like it’s better.
Should we spend twenty minutes improving this process? No, some higher up who doesn’t understand software development decided that we don’t do it that way. Keep doing it manually.
Should we compensate people well enough so they don’t leave after a year or two? No, pay the absolute minimum and keep hiring entry level people. Saving so much on labor costs!
Every Republican that leaves office, by whatever means, is good for the world.
