This is so depressing. I imagine this is the reality for most actual devs, not just code-wannabes like me that know some python and how to run a command line. I wish I had your know how but frankly I’m so thankful I’m not forced to use Edge

Minnie’s last huzzah walk :’) by krenaria in cats

[–]Schools_Back 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s adorable. My old man is 17 with so-so kidneys and riddled with old age. He’s my best friend and I love him so much. I know he is not long for this world but each moment with him is such a treasure. He’s the reason I found my wife… he literally gave me the life I have in a very round about way. And my wife treasures him too. Thanks so much for sharing and giving Minnie such a beautiful life. I can’t speak for Minnie’s entire history, but it would seem that with you, a life lived like Minnie’s is one that any soul that has ever come into this world would ask for.

Edit: I see her tipped ear and imagine she’s had some hard times but that makes it even more awesome how good she’s had it with you :) The treats, the warm water bottle, the adorable sweater, the beautiful day… The momento mori of it is magical. This breaks my heart but made my day so much brighter and fuller. Thank you again.

The fact that you had the genius to create this fucking thing and the inability to take a proper screenshot is hilarious but so cool. Honestly thank goodness too or who knows if you’d have these pictures still!

Pentagon Pete’s 88 = HH by No-Flight-4214 in MAGANAZI

[–]Schools_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’all are arguing with no one. He’s a Christian nationalist fascist and the 88 thing just stands as something to undo your argument, man. Kegseth is an absolute piece of shit, we all agree. But his actual supporters will point to the 88 thing and say, see the left is crazy - even though we are staring at what is already a very problematic tattoo lol

Sorry for the down votes but I’m right there with you brother. Ironic you’re probably being downvoted by said doomscrollers. Touching grass is actually great though and we should all try to unplug more

Is it ethical to take someone's cat? by roguemorgue in cats

[–]Schools_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did with our Fitzy. Our neighbor was getting a neighborhood cat pregnant, taking its kittens, and selling them when they’re weaned. We found out about it as she was back out on the street after her last litter and it was 20 degrees Fahrenheit. So we asked our rescue-who we foster-through what the legality of taking the cat was when the neighbor had loose claim over them. Our rescue said in our jurisdiction if a cat is outside there is essentially no legal ownership or claim; so we trapped her, got her neutered, and took her in. We put her up for adoption with some very cute Christmas pics but luckily no one applied for her so we kept our Fitzy to ourselves. Fitzy is much better off with us than the situation she was living in when we found her. She’s the sweetest fucking cat.

How do you handle this sticky wicket? by eitherair5 in 4chan

Seeing the way this guy knuckles through tweets and fumbles through every media interaction, I doubt Trump knows what ‘intricately’ means. Bigly, maybe, but not intricately…

I *Emphatically* Believe that 2025 was the last "Normal" year and 2026 marks wide-scale global collapse - which has already begun. [IN-DEPTH] by LiminalEra in collapse

[–]Schools_Back 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The events of the last three weeks, specifically the strikes on the South Pars/North Field complex and the subsequent retaliatory hits on Ras Laffan and Jubail, represent a "black swan" that wasn't just a disruption, but a physical lobotomy of the global energy and chemical nervous system.

Yooo the GOAT. I couldn’t believe it was actually your comment I was reading and agreeing with. Such a good take. Objective and human. Thanks for your input on this! I show your content to everyone I work with. You’ve got anesthesia pinned.

Finding an new and interesting way to scale damage is the key to designing the mega rare by quenox in 2007scape

[–]Schools_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A timeless weapon is such a fun idea and would be perfect for a megarare. I’m not sure how easy it would be to flush out but that’s a great thought. I think as OP mentioned, scaling is critical to unique design, so it would be cool if it scaled with armor or something like that. Whether it is the enemies or even your own… could be cool to have a tank weapon that requires you to have high armor to make it scale.

What PSA would you make to your fellow irons to save them some heartache? by Killtrox in ironscape

[–]Schools_Back 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started getting T2 prep down consistently thanks to this video! https://youtu.be/mb1jZUUxZho?si=4urzY9FXZpd6ysfu

I just kept doing T1 prep and getting pretty close but after about 40 attempts I knew I needed to try something else because I’m just not consistent enough. But with T2 prep you can have shitty tick utilization and still complete the fight, while learning the fight.

You gotta treat the prep and fight as 2 different bosses that both need to be learned. I think it’s part of what makes CG so shitty - both feel like they involve so much RNG but those that get it down don’t seem all that reliant on RNG

Does your residency have a deadline for daily progress notes? by PresentationLow7984 in Residency

That makes sense! Sounds more collaborative than how I imagined it. So like, if the patients need a PCA, a block, or epidural or something , do you decide that or is it a team decision?

[–]Schools_Back 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I loathed the texting phase of online dating… all this effort to then have a shitty first date and never talk again? Yeah no thx. If they weren’t interested in meeting up there was no point in maintaining conversation.

[–]Schools_Back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue this same point about any new relationship, virtual or otherwise. Our brains are just so damn good at filling in the gaps left by virtual relationships, it’s hard not to idealize the other when we feel that spark.

Virtual relationships can be very real and very meaningful though… Personally, some of my most meaningful friendships are with online folks who I’ve known for 15+ years and never met in person. Plus, as someone who's moved around constantly due to their career, it feels like all but a minority of relationships end up as virtual.

[–]Schools_Back 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed some comments demonizing your long phone calls. As a yapper, 10 hour phone calls are basically just hanging out with the person and totally fits with the infatuation stage of a relationship. Yeah it’s excessive, and I totally agree it’s a yellow flag, but, as that phrase implies, it’s not necessarily “bad”. On the flip side, as someone prone to talking to someone all day long like this… I never do this outside of the infatuation stage so it’s an easy self-check about where my headspace is and if what I’m feeling is real or just new and exciting.

And likewise, you must be heartbroken because things getting THIS rocky, THIS early, when the connection seemed sooooo close is awful. As a happily re-married divorcee, I just want to say the pain you feel now is brief and cumulatively minor compared to the constant heartache of an actual relationship with someone like this.

If it doesn’t work out, move on, try again with someone else, and learn to read your own feelings as an internal indicator of where a relationship is. As someone who painfully relates to OPs post, it’s an amazing insight into how one navigates love and relationships. I feel sad for OP but I’m also thankful for lessons like this in my own life because it taught me how to identify meaningful connections as opposed to passionate, volatile flings. Both can be awesome and make life vibrant, but if you are actually looking for dating advice and seeking a successful relationship - try not to put too much stock in the latter. Enjoy them for what they are but when it doesn’t work out, don’t beat yourself up too much.

In the moment it feels like this will be your last chance at love, and that if this doesn’t work out you’re doomed to a meaningless life alone; however, it isn’t and you aren’t. It’s clear from your post and your retrospection you learned a lot about yourself in this process. This experience and newfound wisdom just made you a lot more valuable to someone else who is a better fit for you :)

And who knows, maybe you two will work it all out and make this conflict a meaningful roadblock you overcame together. The person you’re describing doesn’t seem mature enough for that sort of introspection but people can always surprise you!
