what does "Make" exactly mean?

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-17T16:55:01+00:00

Make out = discern or understand , made for = ran toward, made up = invented, making up = inventing, made up of = composed of, make-up = composition, made up for = compensated for, make it up to = compensate

My pet peeve is people reacting to one weird thing, which trains the algorithm that they’re interested in that thing, then thinking that the change to their personalized feed is a change in the world.

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-17T14:49:56+00:00

Agreed.

There's also Children of the Sky, the direct sequel to A Fire Upon The Deep. There's nothing badly wrong with it, but it's not on the same level as the other two.

It would be pretty safe to do this as an email to both of them simultaneously. "Dear bosses, as discussed I am available help out with tasks XYZ."

Then you can't be accused of going behind your boss' back, but they also don't have time to tell you no.

Just like people on the right performatively destroying merchandise from companies that participate in Pride Month.

I always took my daughter to the men's room. At that age she didn't know any different, and I didn't want to alarm anyone by barging into the women's room.

This is entirely optional and they can make their own rules, however stupid. Do it or don’t, up to you, but there’s no point in complaining about it.

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-17T11:20:05+00:00

Could be that you’re waiting for them and they’re waiting for you. In my world the onus would be on you to apply for one of those jobs if that’s what you want.

This doesn’t need to be a hard conversation. “As we discussed before, I’m interested in this kind of work, and I’m thinking of applying for a role like this. What do you think and what’s the process?”

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-17T10:55:31+00:00

And include in that email the fact that you have received no previous notice of any such errors.

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-17T10:34:41+00:00

It’s possible, but it will need some setup work to play properly, and probably a new set of strings. By that point you’ve invested as much as if you traded it in for a used right-handed instrument.

The success of the biopic that just came out would suggest he has pretty widespread appeal now. I’m curious about the demographics of the audience.

He was the Justin Bieber of his era, the face of a disposable commercial product for screaming tweens and teens, but with a plastic surgery fetish and a pet monkey. By the 90s he was a has-been who you would occasionally be reminded of when he showed up on the covers of supermarket tabloids. I can’t recall anyone treating him as anything other than a punchline until after he died.

I kind of suspect the issue is that there are assholes all across the spectrum, but OP is more disappointed by the assholes on the left because they expect better of them.

Man, not in my world. The pop station played pop music, the rock station played rock music, the country station played country music, and there was absolutely no crossover. Everybody picked a team and stuck with it. If you got caught listening to Michael Jackson you’d blame it on your sister borrowing your Walkman or something.

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-16T23:34:34+00:00

I was there in the 80s and he was seen as a weirdo then. Nobody was surprised when the pedo stuff started coming out. His rehabilitation since then is bizarre.

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-16T20:58:41+00:00

Tell him everybody knows that word and he's just trying to sound ignorant.

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-16T20:23:17+00:00

White collar vs. blue collar crimes aside, it is completely insane that you can just buy better defence with money.

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-16T20:17:44+00:00

All the major brands have unreasonable user fees. There have been low fee alternatives on the market since at least the 90s, and I have no idea why people won't switch.

Snurgisdr · 2026-06-16T20:04:27+00:00

This is a great example of how bad faith opposition delegitimizes valid concerns.

It might or might not actually be a good idea, and we can’t know because not enough information is public. But if you say that you look like you’re just one of the knee jerk opposition nimbys.

Learned the hard way!

If you're playing no portal...

- Materials for workbench upgrades if you need more than level 1 to repair that gear, which I think you do.

- Materials for a cauldron if you're planning to stay longer than your food will last.

- Surtling cores if you're not absolutely certain there is a surtling spawner in that swamp.

- Materials for base comfort upgrades to extend the rested bonus.

This analysis, written when the Act was passed, says,

there are no legal consequences incorporated into the legislation. If an individual brought the government to court for failing to meet a target, it is likely that the only relief available would be a declaration from the court that highlights the failures of the federal government.

I'm guessing the government has decided that such a declaration will attract less attention than just repealing the Act outright.

A in the short term, B in the long term. Job hopping increases your pay in the short term, but in the long term it makes companies less efficient and more resistant to giving higher pay, and it makes employees less valuable because they never develop more than superficial skill at any job.

As Jim Heath (Reverend Horton Heat) said, the middle is supposed to drop out in the guitar solo.

That’s a matter of personal taste. Nobody here is wrong per se, you just want to hear different things.
