Absolutely. I’ve written multiple paragraph responses, and then I realize I may have to argue that or just engage more than I’m willing to at that time and just delete it. I’ve got more important things to do than engage in Internet discourse.
I’ve deleted posts when I responded to the wrong person, and one time I can think of where I completely missed the mark, but I deleted it within seconds of posting. Past that, I’ll accept what other readers decide. I think there are definitely times where a post has been misunderstood due to bad phrasing, but I don’t ride or die on how a post does. Sometimes when something does bad, I’ll try to have some introspection on why, and if it’s because my views are bad or unpopular, I’ll give it some thought. It’s not often that my views are particularly wrong, but like I mentioned, I just articulated them poorly. Sometimes it is just a bad take, I eat crow, and I try to use that as a learning experience and move on.
I’ve never deleted anything out of shame because my view was unpopular.
Last election in Iowa Mariannette Miller-Meeks won her district by 6 votes to get Republicans a house seat.
I’ll admit, it was a weak role, but I still think his comedic timing was on point.
Heard from where? I feel the majority opinion is that Matt Damon is a great actor. I’ve seen plenty of his work and can’t think of a single film where I’d mark him as bad or even not good.
I have a solid plastic scraper that has never let me down. Doesn’t matter what I cook in it, how much blackened meat gets stuck, or how long I neglect it in the stove top before washing it, I run it under hot water, hit it with the scraper, then the abrasive side of my sponge, then the soft side. After, I towel dry it, put it in the stove top to evaporate left over moisture, then rub a thin layer of oil on it.
The fluoride concentration in toothpaste is not high enough to cause toxicity if not rinsed out. Don’t eat mouthfuls of it, but the small amount left after brushing is beneficial for enamel. Ask literally any qualified dentist. Literally a couple weeks back, my dentist suggested that I can put a little dab on a tender spot of my tooth after brushing before going to sleep to target it.
I could have sworn that this was already litigated previously and that McDs won. Clearly not given this situation, but it has certainly been a topic of discussion in the past.
If enough citizens revolt and take out a shit load of flock cameras while masked to avoid being identified, at the very least it will cost someone a bunch of money. It could be a catalyst for more action. Some cities have cancelled their contracts, this could lead to more of that if there’s enough outrage.
Because the government disappears dissenters.
I was a sys admin at one company for just under 10 years. I left to another company to become a software developer, but ended up as a Servicenow admin for 2 years. Now I’ve a full stack dev. It’s been tough sledding since I came into this role with only a single year of coding in college some scripting skills I learned in my previous system admin job, and some sell learning using free online resources. I’m still way off from where I want to be skill wise, but I’m good enough that I can do most of my work with minimal assistance. I do feel inadequate a lot of the time because I’m surrounded by people with experience, but I’m pretty intelligent, can learn concept quickly, and I put in the work to get better. Being on a supportive team has been the best thing for me. All said, I’ve had the best growth in my career since I moved to my dev role compared to the past 12+ years, both financially and in skills.
Coming from someone who should have left his system admin job 5+ years before I did, I encourage you to take any opportunities you can get to not be miserable in your work life. I took a pay cut to move companies, and it was worth every penny, especially since I’m making more now than before with much better benefits. If I stay with my company for the rest of my career, I can work for the next ~18 years and retire before 60 thanks to offered benefits.
I don’t really understand why voting machines are complicated enough that there are feasible vulnerabilities. They have one job, and it’s to count. It really shouldn’t be too tough for a crack team of competent devs to write the software required to make them work securely. No network access, a memory safe language, and strict business rules should be relatively trivial to setup. Double that will external audits and you’ve got yourself a stew.
I have a lifetime pass and there is remote streaming without needing to setup of a bunch of technical stuff for me and my user base. If I was only using for myself, I’d use jellyfin, but I have over a dozen users that aren’t going to setup tailscale or something similar to access it. Also, I’ve personally never had any issues with the platform. Yes it’s enshittifying, but it hasn’t reached a threshold where I need to do something about it.
I collect all of my cans with deposit and take them in bulk to a local can shed where they have places that you can donate to a charity. The processor I think gives back 3¢ per can instead of 5 but that’s how they make money and stay open. When a full bag is brought in for a charitable donation, they just give a lump sum instead of counting them.
I do wish that I could crush the cans and still get credit because they take up so much space, but it is what it is.
I guess I can’t really relate. Games usually launch within 3-5 seconds for me. Sometimes it can take longer when it has to do whatever it does with vulkan shaders, but that’s usually only first time launches or after some updates.
Do people have issues with steam launcher being slow?
How tone deaf does one have to be to think that claiming they vibe coded an app is some sort of flex? What a fucking tool shed. Fuck Epic. I didn’t want their shit before and this truly solidifies my stance.
Also, is Steam slow for other people? I’ve had probably zero complaints regarding performance speed. If I really put my mind to it, I could maybe come up with something I don’t like, but it would have nothing to do with it’s performance.
The first failure was allowing his kid to have a YT channel at all, or at least not one that is heavily monitored and restricted by him or the other parent. The financial fuck up is the consequences of poor parenting.
Phrasing is definitely important. I see many posts where it seems more like someone is looking for validation rather than advice. When those people don’t get the responses they want to hear, they get defensive and double down.
Sometimes people just have shitty views with no intent to reflect on their views and get dog piled on. I personally have no problem with this. I think much of the world has gotten to soft of some demographics. For example, as an American (I only say this because it’s becoming more prevalent, but it should be universal), I think anyone that comes out supporting white supremacy and Nazi ideals shouldn’t get the benefit of understanding. They should be lambasted and ridiculed for being terrible people. If the masses quit giving these people credence, maybe they’d just go back into being closeted bigots instead of making everyone else miserable.
