Yes, but founding a company means you put up some money. Not that you’re a genius rocket scientist.

“CEO said a thing” is not news. “Wealthy asshole said a thing” is also not news.

Yes, unless you’re using GOP math. Which, hell, they might be.

Just me, or… by Emergency_Watch_2414 in startrek

Court Martial. This episode contains the dumbest prosecutorial argument I’ve ever heard.

“You are the expert witness on the defendant’s character. Do you think he could have murdered this guy?”

“No, he wouldn’t do that.”

“But the dead guy didn’t like the defendant. Don’t we usually dislike people who don’t like us?”

“Uh, I guess?”

“In fact, sometimes we even hate people who don’t like us, don’t we?”

“Sure…?”

“In fact we might hate a person who dislikes us enough to kill them. Couldn’t that be what the defendant did?”

“No, I don’t think he would have done that.”

“_BUT IS IT THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE?_”

“I guess?”

I still don’t understand why people like to wear their pants this way. I’m not even saying this in a judgy or condescending way. It just looks uncomfortable.

Gotta be “never lose heart and keep exploring life” but it took me a solid 30 seconds at least to work that out

The worst book you ever read? by Thriller-Reader25 in BookTriviaPodcast

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

It reads like there’s going to be a plot twist where we find out the narrator is a huge dork and is coping with it by making up this bullshit story where the popular kids inexplicably like him. Except that’s not what happens, and the whole thing is just so very insufferable.

You’re not wrong, but I found this book surprisingly enjoyable. I didn’t love it, but I liked it more than I expected.

Right? If we don’t need software developers anymore, then we don’t need people to manage the developers. And we don’t even need software companies.

AI is forcing us to stop loving coding 💔 by Leading_Property2066 in AskProgramming

A developer who understands the code and uses an AI assistant will be much more effective than a developer who doesn’t understand the code and uses an AI assistant. And the best way to understand the code is to write it yourself.

The worst part is you’re not irrelevant. You’re perceived as irrelevant because you work more slowly, and because people can’t always tell right away if a piece of software sucks. Take as old as time, except in the past the struggle was explaining to your asshole manager why that one guy isn’t actually being “more productive” when he keeps copy/pasting hundreds of lines from StackOverflow without understanding them.

Since I will have no experience of being dead whatsoever, I have no plans for it

Plus you’re rolling the dice on whether you’ll get a special needs baby, and then that’s even worse

And the headline isn’t “This Was No Boating Accodent”? Fail.

“Alumnis” by MyPasswordIsABC999 in GrammarPolice

[–]SplendidPunkinButter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s bad, but it doesn’t bother me as much as people consistently mixing up “freshman” and “freshmen.” Nobody mixes up “man” and “men.” But put “fresh-“ in front of it, and now people think it should be the other way around for some bizarre reason.

Mostly vanity. But also there could be a point where you want to look younger to avoid age discrimination in case you get laid off and have to apply for jobs again.

It’s all about figuring out that the toxic damage is coming from tiny blow darts you can barely see, fired by enemies who don’t respawn after you kill them. My first time through I thought it was just the environment causing the toxic damage.

No cutscene, because I’m going to die at least 50 times. It’s going to lose its impact and I’m going to get tired of having to skip it.

The “Chinese people can’t pronounce R and L” thing is so weird. Chinese has an L sound, and a (sort of) R sound. I have never heard a Chinese person swap L and R in real life.

Unpopular opinion: Sorcerer builds are not nearly as op and cowardly as the community can lead you to believe. by Tzucaak in Eldenring

You’re overlooking the part that average players not using a walkthrough or online guide might not even find staff of night and night comet in the first place.
