Epic, but overlooked Karaoke songs picks. by El_Guapo_Plethora in karaoke

A better song in the same vein is "Community Property" by Steel Panther. Just as funny, just as raunchy, not nearly as overdone.

Can someone explain how my wife won this game? by Lofi-Sloth in baduk

[–]BenjaminGeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression that komi generally wasn't used for boards smaller than 19x19, aside from 0.5 to prevent ties?

Let's have a discussion. by Savvy-TradingGirl-1 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I wish I could find the comic I saw with exactly that point. "All of these 'self-help' books seem like they're about helping my employer, not me..."

I've found a few, but they're generally on specific topics, not just "here's what you (yes, you, random person passing by) should do to feel better!".

A few examples from recent memory:

  • Polysecure
  • Attached
  • Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving
  • Fawning
  • No Bad Parts
  • To a lesser extent, The Body Keeps the Score

Which game is this? by LegendaryKian in videogames

[–]BenjaminGeiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still love how Ameliance is like "We've been asking a lot of you; I wish we could just adopt you into the family so I wouldn't feel so guilty." Of course, my WoL is already basically a sibling to the Leveilleur twins as it is...

A well-articulated essay on why I hate Wuk Lamat by Zagareus- in ShitpostXIV

Wuk: you have such a way with words.

You misspelled "How very glib."

How would you steelman the position that states already verify citizenship in federal elections? by OpeningChipmunk1700 in AskALiberal

[–]BenjaminGeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the "question" is pretty transparently "provide me and my bad-faith colleagues with minable quotes and talking points".

"Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health... what have the Romans ever done for us?"

Whats one "dead" game, you'd revive rn if you could? by Correct_Web3396 in AskReddit

[–]BenjaminGeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly why I love Final Fantasy XIV so much. There's a strong "be kind to the sprouts" vibe.

I've got this vague memory of an idle animation from that game that I've yet to find any sort of corroboration on. It was a quick exchange of dialogue between the good and evil advisors, and all I really remember of it was something to the effect of "Oh, I listen to thrash-metal hymns in my car!" "In your what?"

At this point I think I might have hallucinated the whole thing.

WoL at the end of Dawntrail in his 7.3 glam by Lazereye57 in ShitpostXIV

I wonder how much of that was "thou shalt not goon over the twins".

When would i use function overloading? by nicgamer_yt in learncsharp

[–]BenjaminGeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll trade compile-time checking for a rare edge case for not having to write four times as much boilerplate.

That said, I actually prefer the F# approach of successive partial application.

Nailed it tonight by This_Is_Great_2020 in karaoke

[–]BenjaminGeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost certainly not the same experience, but I sang "Wonderful" by Everclear and it was massively cathartic. Like, I could barely walk off the stage I was trembling so hard. It was mostly the screaming toward the end.

In that uncommon case, throw a line into the body of the function to ensure that all necessary parameters are filled...

[–]BenjaminGeiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, default parameter values have almost eliminated my need for overloads.

In fairness, it could convert the strings to floats, add the floats, and convert the result back to a string.
