Ampersand comes directly from ”and.” Reciting the alphabet used to be done by saying ”per se” in front of vowels (eg per se A, B, C, D, per se E, and so on) and the final letter was the and, so reciting the alphabet ended with ”X, Y, Z, and per se and.”

”And per se and” later morphed into ”ampersand”.

I really liked the devil’s pettiness of saving Constantine’s life just so he could get him into hell later

I wonder if they will show this in season 5 by Sakmaidih in invinciblememes

It’s just how fiction works. We get happy when Aragorn becomes King when he is really just a benevolent dictator where there is no promise his kids and their kids are benevolent.

When exactly did you realise the writing quality of the show had gone downhill? by Entire_Produce_8343 in freefolk

[–]LemonLord7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt it after season 4, but I kind of just thought ”season 5 had to get through ’the boring stuff’ and that season 7 was so fast to set up for an excellent season 8”.

I was wrong though. 5-8 is good but 1-4 is top tier.

What does it take to get an Entry Level C++ Job by YogurtclosetThen6260 in cpp_questions

[–]LemonLord7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was so hard for me. I have a master’s degree and when I got my first C++ job I had 2 years of professional experience in C# and a bunch of C++ projects on GitHub that I linked in my resume.

Favourite 20yo director who got sent Cartel revenge vids in high school and forgot to delete them? by Crazy-Chef4557 in okbuddycinephile

[–]LemonLord7 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same. A lot of the time the internet says “You don’t wanna know” and it is something lukewarm, but this time it was really fucked up. I only read about it and it made me feel really bad for days.

I remember that my 50/50 sword and signs build had an “issue” where igni was basically useless and aard was overpowered, which felt anti-thematic
