OK true, technically speaking it is indeed more readable, I guess I really meant that it takes far longer to read. I do admire Lua’s barebones simplicity.

Oh god yea, replicating switch functionality with a huge column of elifs is so gross.

To be fair my IRL best friend is one of you inverted Y monsters. Monsters are people, too.
- Comment on proportional reaction 5 days ago:
For real though I actually find them incredibly useful for creating clean and readable code. I wish Lua 5.1 had a ternary syntax.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 5 days ago:
Some people visualize their Y rotation “lever” as in front of the fulcrum of their neck, and some people visualize it as behind. Thus some people find an inverted Y axis to be intuitive, while others don’t. At least, this is how the reason for the preference has been explained to me.
I still think all you inverted Y axis people are monsters.

Holy shit I’ve met this Sherman. He lives outside of an armory building in Vancouver BC.

It looks like a cast of a uterus made of coagulated blood cause that’s literally what it is. :P

Though overused; medication that effectively combats eating disorders.
I’d argue underused / inappropriately prescribed by social class. There are millions who could benefit from them who have poor access, while if you have money the Rx just gets thrown readily at your feet.

I know you’re joking but “solid menstruation” can actually happen and it’s called a decidual cast and it’s some brutal metal shit.

Is calling mid-2000s stuff “90s” the new meta?

Me, a road cyclist: “I don’t see what the problem is. Why not 110?”

Yeah they could probably stand to lose the more southern of the two ramp sets at Delta Park, feels very extra and overall unhelpful. Of course ODOT’s solution, beyond replacing the bridge, is to widen I-5 south of the bridge - Which anyone with a brain and 50 years of highway traffic studies can tell us would directly contribute to worsening the problem.

This driver is distinct from that driver. We definitely have those too, and they have my sympathies. But this driver is the one who just thinks to themself that it would be nice to go slow for a while, on a lark. Or they don’t think at all and in that brief 15 seconds of brain death their nerves stop sending signals to their foot to press the gas.

It’s usually a complex crowd effect created by many participants trying to maneuver among each other in slightly disperate ways.
In Portland OR, it really is because some dingbat slowed down to 20 MPH on the interstate for literally no fucking reason at all.

Actually for real, at least for the kind of aftermarket stuff I buy I usually do check CL first.

Ebay is a great place to be a buyer. Absolutely fucked place to be a seller. Be nice to your sellers folks, they don’t have it that great.

Back in the day on the very rare occasion that I had a 7 or G train car all to myself, I’d belt out the loudest operatic singing voice I could manage. There’s nowhere on Earth more isolated than an empty NYC subway car, gotta seize that opportunity.

Fairly certain it stacks in more western nations than it doesn’t. I know a woman in Australia who fucked off for almost a full year after saving up time for a decade.

Pretty sure that’s considered wage theft in all 50 states.

Rolling them over would be better, but most full time jobs do cash out your unused PTO onto the last paycheck of the financial year.

Haha I don’t know enough about Parisian culture to be comfortable taking such potshots!
- Comment on Reddit bought a giant ad in Paris, urging young french people to create an account 2 months ago:
My account of 12 years got permabanned presumably after the mods of /r/portland made false reports about me to the admins because my advocacy for the homeless wasn’t what they wanted their controlled discourse to look like. They harassed me across other subreddits before doing so, too. I was the main moderator of a somewhat popular NYC-based subreddit, that sub was suddenly lawless after I poof disappeared and I have no way of explaining to the sub members what happened.

Don’t wait, you’ll thank yourself after you switch. In very frequent cases Windows games literally run faster in Linux under Proton. Get that state-sponsored spyware out of your home!
