I agree with the banter with others. I do it with my friends. The thing is this … it has to go both ways and if they can’t jab back I usually give them a smile/hug and make sure they know I’m being a jerk. Like, they should be smiling after I take a jab at them.

According to the right-wing, “oh what, you wanna outlaw comedy now? it’s just a joke you snowflake!”
If you’re not offended by the father’s comments, just change the offending word to whatever you are. If you think nothing’s wrong with it, it could be worth learning why
I got picked on a lot as a kid. What it did was make me hyper sensitive to other people’s insecurities. I would see you and think: weight, race, bad at school, has a crush on X. I’d memorize it and put it in my back pocket and just dig at someone when they’d take a shot at me. It was a horribly daunting way to live because you’re never really enjoying the moment.

The thing is, I don’t know how to open or close that drawer without spilling the liquid.

It’s just painting a picture. The story could just as easily been putting together a family dinner and focusing on what everyone’s preferences that you’ve learned over the years. Or something more Lemmy based would be dealing with a production issue as a developer and then BAM dick pic.
It’s just story telling to me.

That’s because you need to do things like stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet and keep your cell division count as low as possible.

I mean, he’s said before that shitty code doesn’t make for a good or bad game. He gave examples of lots of successful games that have “bad” code and that it doesn’t matter and people should just make games.
- Comment on 'I'm being paid to fix issues caused by AI' 5 weeks ago:
One of our coworkers keeps telling us to trust AI.
We’re like, we get to to generate some code but we always check it. The coworker was like, nah you should just trust it. We’re like, why? He said you should just train it until it gets to the state where you want.
We were like, we’re competent in our fields and we wouldn’t want to use anything in production that’s not checked by a human. Even if it wasn’t checked by a human we should have some checks for sure. Not sure why he’s so adamant about not checking anything.

- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 1 month ago:
I’m going back to Europe for a few months for a visit. I was looking at other VPNs and they were offering me cheap discounts but I’d have to sign up for 2 years or some shit. Mullvad was very straightforward in their pricing and I was able to generate the VPN config and I have it installed on my travel router really easily.

I think I understand your overall sentiment. Just wanna boot up games and not think about settings, compatibility, framerates and stuff. I know what you mean.

Was funny when they said they needed more original games like Hi Fi rush after firing the people that made Hi Fi rush.

I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain …

As an English “whose-a-ma-whats-it”, I feel like a lot of us don’t care much for the monarchy as well. I don’t speak for all obviously. Many of my friends need to keep up with Royal Family drama for some reason.
- Comment on DERP 1 month ago:
This is why people on Lemmy can be naive. A lot of people on Lemmy say the Dems need to take X position or need Y policies to get the Republican voter base.
It doesn’t matter. They vote against their best interests and they’ll do it again. They have no beliefs.

There’s a good NPR podcast in the same vein as this: www.npr.org/…/episode-779-shrimp-fight-club
It’s about congressman talking about government waste and targeting the sciences. It’s like, you don’t get the “cool” applications without the “weird” research. I’m doing a horrible job describing it, but I thought it was a good listen.

I really want to root for Nintendo but they make it hard.
Opening up my steam library from a console was such a big WTF moment and then being able to suspend games was so mind-blowing.
It’s still not that beefy for triple-A but I’m considering getting GeForce Now running on it.

I had a crush on Jordana Brewster after that movie. I love that movie.
I’ve also been keeping an eye on Josh Harnett and he kinda disappeared off the face of the Earth and then started in a few random flicks again all of a sudden.
- Comment on Pull to enter, you say? 2 months ago:
Many years ago, before we automated our deployment, we got our devs to do it manually. The guy that wrote the instructions in bold red letters at the top, put something like “log in as X” and no one would follow. He asked me what to do, I said, “put it as step 1 instead of bold letters at the top”. Never had anyone mess up afterwards. Thank God we automated it though.
Our brains work in weird ways.

I remember a story where he put millions into a mansion over several years and when it was done he wanted to change it.
I’m sure he’s made bank over the years but also sure he’s blown a lot of it.
