I don’t see why not, but I didn’t try that specific genre.

The Brooklyn public library has a form where you can write about whatever you want, and a real human librarian will recommend books for you based on it. It was pretty good when I used it.

I imagine other libraries have similar.

They are prioritizing the financial interests

Sums of why a lot of things are bad

Don’t over think it. Meet other people.

I think that’s my least favorite brand of Christian. Ignore all the sheep and goats, good Samaritan, give to the poor, parts to be smug little shits.

Everywhere I’ve worked that did micro services it was kind of a pain. One of the places I’ve worked had a simple monolith backend and it was great.

I don’t really like the parroting of in-jokes thing. Probably any sufficiently long lived large group will probably have in-jokes, but reddit-isms always grated the most.

I’ve lived here for most of my adult life and never felt like I needed a car.

Having one is a huge pain. Parking. Insurance. Gas. Maintenance. Getting home when you’re drunk.

It’s easier to just get on the train.

I’d like if transit was cheaper and more reliable outside the city. Visiting family in the suburbs via transit is slower and more expensive.

If there’s a good in-game group finder, where you can specify like “first time doing it” or “chill group” vs “speed runner” then it’s probably fine. If you can find players, that is.

I played a lot of guild wars 2. I’d start groups on the lfg with a message like “chill [content] run - I don’t care about your build” and people would join, and we’d have a fine time.

Some other MMO, I forget which, I’d end up sitting at the lfg for a long time and never got a full group

The other day one of the other devs messaged me with “you wanna see a dead body?”

He’d found some code that had been running in production since 2003, with so many problems and smells. Wasn’t in source control, either. Many hard coded plain text passwords.

Sadly, he had to touch it enough to fix a production outage.

People have foolish reasons for voting the way they do

I thought it was going to be pro-ai from the title, but I didn’t vote based on that assumption

Evaluating the whole argument is expensive. “Is the author a known idiot?” is a cheap heuristic to save effort.

Though that does remind me I had a long argument with some bizarre poster on here who insisted that the source of information is not important, and the unwell guy screaming under the bridge is just as viable a source as someone with a PhD on the subject.

“I would be disappointed if it comes in at 225 House seats,” Carville told host Bill Kristol. “I would rather the Republicans keep the House by five than the Democrats to win by five, because, if that happens, they’re hostage to the DSA.”

This person is a shithead.

Teams is a huge piece of shit.

Why is every meeting its own chat? With no threads! Why are the team channels like fucking forums instead of chats? Why do I get notified between 0 and 4 times for the same message?

I hate teams. I have never had a memorable problem with slack. Maybe some things can be fixed with better use behavior, but good software guides users away from bad patterns.

As a tutorial grade react developer (please return me to the backend where I am mediocre instead of bad), having more senior developers take the time to explain why my code was bad was really helpful.

Also I think I just kind of hate JavaScript. It always feels like everything is more complicated and booby trapped than it should be.

I feel like vscode and pycharm both do that out of the box?

Before my big monitor broke I had pycharm split into four panes for the backend project and 3 for the frontend. It was nice.

They just say things in pursuit of their goals. Maybe sometimes they don’t even realize because they’re riding the emotional high of siding with their in-group, but some do. Some know they’re lying scumbags.

But might makes right. What’re you going to do to stop them? Nothing. None of us do anything. So the scumbags keep winning.

I manually start it when I want to play something.

I shut down the computer when I’m done for a while. Like before bed, or if I’m leaving the house.

But if I play a game and then spend some time on the computer doing something else, I don’t explicitly close steam.

That’s my understanding as well.

A kink is also typically something at least a little uncommon. You wouldn’t call “I like putting my hard penis in a woman’s vagina” a kink, typically. But “I like when she slaps me” might be.
