  Alternatively, they may be complaining about the typo…

  Hey fellow programmer! This is definitely a thing for me too, it’s uncanny how frequently some random tidbit about a piece of architecture that I’ve tinkered with as a hobby years ago becomes relevant, and I just blurt out to a colleague “oh, do this and that, and it should work”.

  But on the other hand I have to pause for like 30 seconds up to a full minute before answering when is my kid’s birthday, just to make sure I’m not getting it wrong somehow. 😭

  As in croissant?

  I’m with you, I’m the one who read my wife’s car manual.

  One of life’s pleasures, for me, is getting home with a shiny new thing and going over the manual and trying out the features, and of course it will work as described, and somehow that’s very satisfying.

  I might be on the spectrum though, my experience is that people find that weird.

  I felt this in my bones.

  Yeah you’d think that, but then 8 marijuanas is a joint and 3.33(3) joints are a high.

  Well you can hear the same song on repeat 272 times and not be autistic, but as far as I can tell, this could be one of the diagnostic criteria.

  From time to time, there’s some new K-pop that my wife goes crazy over, and every single car ride after that will have that song playing multiple times. It’s not on loop only because I would consider throwing us off a cliff if the playlist didn’t have at least 19 other songs on it. :)

  I unplugged the bassist and people went to buy the album.

  For $2000? Is this comic from the 50s?

  Are you a spice dealer Mr. PumpkinEscobar?

  Hehehe. Thanks for the chuckle!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile, in Springfield Ohio⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, not “kind” of dark, but really dark. I mean, the cartoon couldn’t be more direct in comparing the “haitian Simpsons” to the jews and other racial minorities in Nazi Germany, with the last panel being a page from the life of Anne Frank.

  It looks like a fun chair.

  Mr fancy pants here with full euro coins.

  I treasure my red plastic €0.50 coin replica more than my life.

  Why the down votes? Bro asking a question and being legit curious, don’t be hating on someone that’s looking to challenge what they know just because it’s trivial to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BBC Science⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a science article that investigated why the Brits discuss the weather? I’m now mildly curious to know their methodology and conclusions…

  I always knew that THIS is how kidney beans looked, I’ve been lied to my whole life.

  We ingest proper amounts of fiber in our diets.

  Is cool

  Makes a lot of sense, not gonna lie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In 2019, Microsoft tried a 4-day workweek in Japan. Productivity jumped 40%⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the war that’s coming.

  More and more processes are automatic, and AI is now breaking down the last holdout of “manual” jobs.

  How will that future, where only a small percentage of mankind actually needs to work, look like? It could be heaven, but it’s shaping up to be hell unless we win these fights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if this recaps the situation accurately, to be honest.

  Sounds like the publisher is complaining about some article that’s trying to use the game as a reference on why early access can be a bad thing.

  I don’t see how the gamers are an issue though. They will expect what you tell them to expect, this is something for the publisher to manage, and I don’t even think this is a problem for Manor Lords.

  All of it just seems like news sites trying to come up with their clicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not be taking questions.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe this invention revolutionised how we clean our butts, or maybe it was utterly trivial and 20 different ways of cutting paper rolls were patented that same year (note that present day rolls don’t even use this method).

  But that’s irrelevant to the point that seems to be implied here that patents somehow contributed to it’s success. They don’t, an invention will be useful or not based on its own merits, not on the fact they’re patented.

  They exist to ensure whoever registered it makes a profit, which is why they’re being exploited way past the point of making up for any good they were supposed to bring…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not be taking questions.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So the innovation that was patented is literally “cut it partway through”.

  Patents are inherently stupid and only serve to stifle progress. Change my mind or otherwise just downvote away, works as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will not be taking questions.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People here be discussing the wrong thing, or am I the only one thinking that patenting a roll of paper is incredibly stupid?

  It’s a damn roll of paper. How much of a genius do you have to be to come up with that? People have been doing it for millennia, the only difference is that it used to be so expensive that no one would think of whipping their butts with it.

  This is what they want you to believe…

  Not the companies. But some anonymous whistleblower? Sure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm am myself and myself is bad at fitting in⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My point is that coming to terms with who you are isn’t the destination, but the first step in a road of self improvement.

  You’re only garbage if you stop there. Do better, one little bit at a time.
