It means the situation is on the brink of consequences due to frustration

No, this is charcoal. If you leave the stove on low enough that the contents don’t reach flashpoint, you basically burn the ingredients without fire
And that gives you lumps of carbon with the rest burned away

You realize it’s an order? They’re a sub organization under the Catholic Church, they have their own leadership
Anyways, there’s a cabal of pedophiles and consulting companies like McKinsey who are the literal global elite fucking everything up. They’re connected to everything and leave a paper trail.
It’s all out in the open, they’ve been grilled before Congress repeatedly, but no one takes it seriously. You can spend an afternoon just in their Wikipedia page, under controversies you have a list of just the things they were caught doing

The Jesuit order? The most reasonable and educated branch of any religion I’ve ever met? The order dedicated to knowledge?

I mean you might be right, but I imagine the martyr thing could go either way
Just putting myself in their shoes, it probably won’t feel nice having their dad constantly praised for doing what they saw him die doing
Plus, Charlie Kirk was more hated than loved. There’s no putting them so deep in a bubble that they aren’t confronted with that fact
Kids tend to either follow or reject their parents beliefs… I’m not sure what this kind of trauma does to that, but I’ll bet it’ll make it more extreme
- Comment on Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" Crowd 3 days ago:
I do too… But I wouldn’t say they don’t stand a chance
Their dad got shot while encouraging gun violence. That might instill some strong opinions in them
The kind of strong opinions that will likely be buried and come out later in therapy
But it could go either way

The holy Roman empire fell centuries ago. The power it held was distributed to organizations we generally refer to as “the West”
The Pope has immense power… But soft power. The only army they can move is the Swiss guard

I’m sorry, what time period do you think we live in exactly?

What do you mean obeyed the Pope? You realize I’ve of his last actions was to donate the popemobile as an aid vehicle for Gaza

Of course we do, we can accept it or not.
Choices don’t always change reality, but they always change us

Sorry friend, but it’s only going to get worse for the foreseeable future
I’m with you lamenting it though, I’m very frustrated too. Everything is breaking, for the stupidest reasons…
For decades now, I’ve joked that the Internet is just a fad… But recently I realized, we might just see it die

I did not know that… That sucks
And I wasn’t being ironic either. I hope his ill gotten gains are enough for his kids to be ok… The damage he did collecting it will never equal what he squirreled away, but hopefully it at least is enough for his kids to grow up with food and therapists

Nah…I don’t think so
Political violence is a symptom. There’s been tons of political violence, this time they aimed low on the totem pole and got away clean
We were already here. Nothing has changed. It’s been done to the left, now the right has lost someone after numerous attempts
They already were trying to do authoritarian crackdowns, it wasn’t working. Now they’re afraid, and probably more likely to make even more mistakes

Lying for money. I hope he saved enough for his family

Agreed… I am very interested to see if they’ll double down or fold

I empathize with him. Live by the sword, die by the sword… In his situation, I’d accept my fate
- Comment on Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" Crowd 4 days ago:
Yeah, the victim literally called for it. He celebrated it against his enemies, I’m not all that tore up about it
Political violence is bad… But what no one seems to be saying is that it’s a symptom.
You can’t stop it. You can’t take all the guns. You can’t crack down on it.
It’s a sign of where we are as a country right now.

Definitely… But you can both streamline an interface for the masses without taking away from power users. OSX was a pretty good example of this - they kept a simple veneer, but if you dug a little deeper you used to be able to do some pretty advanced things and configure it all just how you like it
It just takes more time and effort, so it’s becoming rare
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 5 days ago:
Well, that’s just capitalism for you. Maintaining code takes man hours, so of course the minute they had the slightest excuse to reduce code and fire people, that became the norm
It’s profit dictating style basically
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 6 days ago:
They don’t teach material design or something, they teach you to look at the interfaces people use the most and copy the shorthand and general layout
Then they teach you what not to do… Don’t make buttons appear and disappear, don’t make interactions move things around… These are basically universally confusing
They get into a bit of color theory, making certain actions “weighty” by adding loading, and all sorts of other techniques
But the most important piece is figuring out what the main use cases are, and making the tradeoffs to make the experience as frictionless as possible. Stuff like minimizing clicks, piching things by default, hiding unnecessary information, etc
It’s like teaching art. You put labels on concepts and make them practice picking apart the composition so they can understand the individual elements at play and how they fit together
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 6 days ago:
It depends on how you look at it, and how it’s presented
You don’t fill a hole by grabbing dirt and finding a hole, you realize you need to fill a hole, and then you grab/buy materials to fill it in with.
It’s just a matter of approach. You can frame it in either direction
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 6 days ago:
You realize this is actually a field of study? Like, this isn’t a particularly soft science… Companies have done massive A/B campaigns and written papers on it, universities do studies on it… It’s not just opinion
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 1 week ago:
I mean, I do this professionally, I took courses that break down what makes something feel intuitive
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 1 week ago:
Sure… If I want $300 in an account, that’s my goal. I don’t want to decrease another account by that amount
So my goal is to move X money into Y account, or maybe all but X money into Y account
The second half is where it comes from. It’s not the goal, it’s the means
But again as I said, flipping this is a worse solution than either direction

Yeah… Obviously
Pandora’s box is open, there’s no closing it

Honestly, picking the destination first makes more sense.
But the primary law of UX is you don’t change shit up on people. I’d have taken a stand if I was on that team
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
Fair enough, we can’t all know everything after all. I pride myself on turning on a dime when I learn things in my blind spot, and I respect you for it too
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
I mean it wasn’t frequent, but it was candid. They periodically gave updates, demos at events, etc. They definitely were not radio silent
They just never confirmed a release date, they just said it’d be done when it’s done. Until this year, then they said fall, then 2 weeks ago they gave a solid date
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
Ah yeah they finished up a couple weeks ago and gave a hard date, but it’s been listed as fall 2025 since around whenever Nintendo announced the switch 2
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
Shadow dropped?? I’ve been looking forward to it since like… February?, when we got real confirmation. We’ve been tracking this for years
But I do appreciate you appreciating our day. It doesn’t have to be your thing, but it’s very cool of you to cheer us on. Today has been a big win for a lot of people, and I invite you to celebrate this as a win for gaming in general
