• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't stop till brimstone⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always wondered about the whole “you are the salt of the earth” thing. Did they mean it in a positive or negative way?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How customer service jobs be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pfft, customers. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them, amirite?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds on a ridiculous job performance metric at tech companies and the prominent figure responsible for it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, code golf?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also skipping them, please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus those 70$ games invest so much of that $ in fucking you with DRM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kid’s table is the secret sauce. So much more fun, adults are happy the kids are looked after, and I don’t have to justify why I still don’t have a girlfriend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This comic is missing a chunk of asbestos.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  *Diorite*: Wait, is that a Mi

  *Netherrack*: Ah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? Pull the horizon closer if the outlook is too much. Can’t plan the project for the foreseeable future? Reduce the foreseeable future, get through the next important things and then try again.

  As Anna in Frozen 2 puts it: Do the next right thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please no, just stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Had an external PM who was given an inflated version of a technical document of mine. He called and you could hear the ??? over the phone. He said we already have the go-ahead, no need to sell it to him again. I offered to send him the original version and he happily accepted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great to see some actual progress over there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How about giant chode?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s always bananas in the money stand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do it at least 35 times just in case⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  dicktation!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Convenience for the shop owner, not you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you say you don't like linux on Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  systemd-webd for me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not literally gassing people, so they can’t be nazis. It’s only after the fact we get to ask who could have seen this coming.

  You know, like they practice with school shootings every day. Desensitization is a big part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unified Theory of American Reality⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The worst part is: yes! Tons of studies come to that conclusion. Be it reading comprehension, lead poisoning, or the active dismantling of the US education system for the last eight decades, it’s all part of the same picture. But what can you do about it if the group of preteens is self governing and won’t see the problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about a time loop where only one person dies, but infinite times?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too soon?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A friend is aghast at how I can react the way I do. My response is “do you think these ‘just opinions’ exist in a void?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake history porn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Something something eating ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My favorite board game!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would that even do much? Apart from frying your hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use this science wisely.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  CHEW ON THAT THANG

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think he'll respond?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “We can fix you ❤️”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So it was of the silent and deadly variation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The concept of numbers doesn’t come up. The way the hands are conveys the fraction of the hour or half day that has passed. There’s never a need to know the exact number, time is continuous and not discrete. The minute hand will move fractional minutes, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nooo my genderinos⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mom: Dad! Come help with the kid!

  Dad: I can’t, I have to do data entry!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m afraid that fight is lost 😞

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marie Curie⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a colleague who knows and told me she doesn’t get sarcasm. The first few weeks were brutal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marie Curie⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure some girls I only met once at the end of high school think I took performance enhancing drugs to pass so easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that’s not the worst of it.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t wait for this shitty bubble to burst and having the CS job market recover.
