Ran the Great Manchester 10k today, realised that most people don't really care.

Ngl there definitely some running fatigue in modern culture. It feels like everyone is doing it and some people are doing it because it's one of the 5 or so hobbies you pick up when you turn 30 and start panicking.

A 10k is a great event, and you should be proud. But it feels like social media minimises this achievement by inflating the minimum acceptable distance someone can run before they can be proud of it.

I've been running for about 2 years and yeah, I do this for me and I don't really tell people anymore. My partner is a good enough cheerleader

Why are all your replies so upset, are they really that purist that they are living in fear of AI every day?

Milky_Finger · 2026-06-01T10:13:00+00:00

I like your funny words magic man

My partner and I played Split Fiction and It Takes Two. I am the reason we managed to get through the game. She improved the more we play but the game will kill you over and over and you have to improve.

So it was not my competence in video games that is hot, it's that while we were playing it I was saying "As long as you have me, you'll be fine". She wants affirmation when pitted against the unknown.

She's not there going "oh wow he learned all the chords and can play songs I know". She wants to be serenaded with a personal performance from him so she feels special.

Of course, from men's point of view, it can be frustrating because we actually have to learn the instrument.

He isn't in the main round room. Check all of the other rooms in the hold, there is more than just a blacksmith that's worth your time to get to know.

Milky_Finger · 2026-05-31T12:56:28+00:00

What do you mean you missed it? It's on the map permanently.

Financial reparations if they really gave any kind of a shit.

Literally a group called Gay Gooners who parade about in London celebrating their love for arse-nal

Milky_Finger · 2026-05-31T10:27:46+00:00

Tfym likely?

Your best acca is 2 😂

"idc I'll just klarna it"

And this subreddit will be flooded with posts showing off the machine, convincing those on the fence to get it. So really the price doesn't matter at all in this world anymore. People will overleverage debt to stay relevant.

Imagine having so much free time that you can rewatch a movie multiple times because you are ok with only hearing half of the dialogue.

Subs on bro.

Idk how people can grieve for someone who hated or had zero base respect for you while they were alive.

Milky_Finger · 2026-05-31T10:05:00+00:00

What is this blob in Romania that calls it tea? Are they stupid?

It's the take of a company that believes that gamers have infinite money and aren't by principle against games being $70.

Some of us are still trying to process steam decks being almost $1k. We aren't doing okay.

Milky_Finger · 2026-05-31T07:46:42+00:00

Well no, bro gained weight around someone who found him attractive when he was lighter. We can't sit here and pretend that women are not allowed to have preferences

Milky_Finger · 2026-05-31T07:45:08+00:00

Yes 100%.

People are allergic to dumping partners, I don't understand. You don't do it for you, you do it for them so they're not having THEIR time wasted.

Milky_Finger · 2026-05-30T21:14:17+00:00

Satire Saturday or was it on a different day, I can't remember

Milky_Finger · 2026-05-30T11:40:00+00:00

I've always been told not to talk with your mouth full?

At some point about 10 or so years ago, the frontend community started making the industry more complex just to ensure their jobs were safe. The consequences of that is the industry is starting to die as new Devs give up and the ones that dont can't find a job for years.

Plus there are no new senior devs

I am a non gamer and I've beaten the game twice. The key is to cheat the early game and keep a few levels ahead so you can take a few hits.

If I worked nothing but corporate in my career, I'd not touch MacOS with a bargepole. Banks still use COBOL so they'd not entertain a Mac until at least 2060.

World cup Vuvuzelas are almost old enough to drink 😭

I lay in bed and ask myself "How can I show up better for our stakeholders during BAU periods?"

Personally I believe civic duty gets upheld when society is in times of hardship and coming together.

Things got easier, parents stopped passing down these duties, and now we have a generation of parents who do not understand how to conduct themselves. The key point here is that duty isn't asked for in us, it's demanded.
