  I do a lot of rice and (canned) beans, which is pretty cheap and satisfying. I don't have any experience with lentils. My parents never had them because , the story goes, the last time they did my father farted himself out of the bed.

  I hope this is foreshadowing for the trump regime being executed as war criminals.

  I'm really surprised no italian plumbers visited Ross after it became clear there would be no official justice.

  Centralized platforms have obvious and severe problems. Unfortunately, most people don't care.

  I learned in my youth not to read reviews of things I like. It's unpleasant and pointless to read someone savaging your favorite albums or books. (More critical analysis can be fine, but regular Internet reviews are not so worthwhile)

  Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.

  I hope I never become so befuddled that pushing one chat bubble icon instead of the other is confounding. I don’t understand how some people who are ordinarily reasonably smart just turn into subhuman intelligence when faced with a new computer thing. My dad is quite elderly and he manages to run ubuntu fine. My mother, on the other hand, gets confused and angry if anything changes at all on her phone or laptop.

  People make money on it. People don't care enough to organize around stopping it.

  You'd think more libertarian types would be more in favor of walkable cities, biking, and such.

  Half your age plus 7 is an okay rule for finding the floor. Don't aim for the floor. Plus 10 is less eyebrow raising.

Emojis don't. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don't give up. To your point, maybe you're just getting older?

  A. Fuck this guy. He shouldn't have a license, not be entrusted with policing B. That car is too big for NYC.

  This is stupid to do this at the OS level. Where are the small government conservatives demanding the private market meet this need? (They are liars, fools, and scumbags who don't sincerely believe what they say)

  People mandating in-office without a very good reason (vibes based "good for collaboration" don't count) are *climate criminals* and should be treated accordingly.

  Off the top of my head ... - free public health care for all. - forgive all medical debt - free public education for all, including college. - forgive all student loan debt - universal basic income - more public housing. Homes are owned by the people who live in them, or the state. No profit seeking private orgs. - close the "buy borrow die" loopholes, where people get untaxed loans to access their wealth without paying taxes - more tax on the wealthy - look into making property t...

  Yep. Infrastructure shouldn't be privately owned.

  This feels like theft. Maybe not technically legally but the people who did the chatting aren't getting the money. Capitalist hellscape

  I dislike postman. I see job postings that are like "MUST KNOW POSTMAN". Fuck, people should know how to make API requests but postman isn't the only tool for that. Furthermore, if I'm doing automated tests to run on PR I'm not going to use a GUI. Pytest or jest or whatever testing library your language has. I did use Bruno for a while for convenience during local development, though.

  I think a lot about how one time we spent s few hours estimating how long a project would take. Management came back and said no, that’s too long, we’d need to finish in a month. Well if that’s how long it has to take why not lead with that? Bunch of idiot empty husks doing cargo-cult “agile”

  Skyrim. It was at best "fine" for me. I really dislike level scaling. The combat felt unsatisfying. I don't remember the story. It's not weird like Morrowind. The magic and enchanting was over-simplified. But for many people it's their grand joy. So I guess that's good for them.

  Cars ruin everything. The primacy of cars is upstream from a surprising amount of problems with modern life.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do-gooder_derogation Some people are very fragile and have poor emotional regulation. When they see other people doing good, it makes them feel bad, so they lash out. Environmentalism, biking, veganism, all commonly evoke this behavior.

  Bad idea. Fertile ground for abuse, intentional or otherwise. As others have said, it's hubris to think one or two untrained adults can do professional grade teaching.

  People who pollute the earth should have to fix the damage they do. Failing that, they should pay heavy fines.
