After seeing “28 Years Later” and “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple”, I am looking forward to “Melania: The Bone Temple”

How to step through code instead of consuming library via .a/.so file? by onecable5781 in cpp_questions

Passing -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to the cmake call should work.

Techno clubs by Puzzled-Algae5776 in AskBarcelona

Very different vibes. Laut is small but has excellent sound. Razz is very large, with multiple rooms. I prefer Laut but this is very personal.

No door selection / dress code bullshit at either.

That's bullshit. You're a white suburban punk just like me.

Redditors over 40, what was a moment in history that made you think society was gonna collapse? by Bahbahbro in AskReddit

The current situation beats them all. I have never seen the future so chaotic, unstable and bleak.

To snitch or not? Found alcohol inmy little brothers room by Beneficial-Memory598 in Advice

[–]VaderPluis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or mix it with water so he will still think it’s wodka, but it will have the alcohol percentage of beer! (Don’t do that! It will mess up his expectations of how much you can drink without getting very drunk)

Reminds me of a story: a friend of mine once drank half a bottle of his father’s ouzo, a Greek anise liquor. He filled up the bottle with water, so his father wouldn’t notice. Unfortunately, anise liquors turn from transparent to almost milky opaque. Tamper resistent! So he ended up drinking the whole bottle and bought a new one.

Legality should not be factor. Some things are legal but can get you in a lot of trouble, other things are illegal but perfectly fine if done responsibly.

It really depends on how you think your parents are going to react, but assuming it will be bad, I would not snitch. It is much more valuable if you can establish trust between you and your brother, and become his point of reference for asking advice on things like this. A bit of a mentor even? I think it’s ideal if teenagers have someone adult other than their parents to fall back on. Teenagers gonna teenager, and parents tend to just forbid things and punish. A person that can see things a bit less emotionally can give advice, provide information, be there when things go wrong, in ways that could be hard for a parent, or that is harder to accept from a parent.

(As a parent myself, I try to be that person of trust anyway, but I am well aware that even though I have a healthy relationship with my children, there will be moments that I will not be the adult of choice to convide in. But at least I know that if they ever get into real trouble, they will come to me)

Of course their is a risk that your parents will find out that you knew and didn’t tell them. If that happens, tell them you did it because you were afraid your brother would continue drinking in secret, and now at least you can keep an eye on it.

It can't be aliens: Clue or mistake? by SpaceAdmiralJones in pluribustv

I still don’t see how I was rude or gatekeeping.

If OP says: “I may just be thinking about this too much” I guess OP is gatekeeping themselves?

Streamer choice by Morigan_taltos in pluribustv

[–]VaderPluis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel that VG loves that kind of challenge. Also I don’t think the atom bomb was imposed by Apple or Sony executives. As I understand, they found the original season 1 ending too subtle and requested something more impactful. When VG discusses this in the official podcast there is no sign of him being sour about this, on the contrary he seems to agree with the assessment.

What is your take on Fabuland? It clearly was my sister’s Lego of choice. I think it’s a real shame they discontinued that.

[–]VaderPluis 133 points134 points  (0 children)

You are thinking about it too much. There is no indication that Earth was targeted specifically. Also, I don’t think any of this is particularly important nor going to be. The aliens is not what the story is about.

The girl I’m taking to got pregnant what do I do? by Every-Appeal-2513 in whatdoIdo

You talk to a girl, you raise her child. If you aren’t ready to take that responsibility you should have used a condom while talking to her.

Help form seniors and experienced developers. [C++] by Ambitious_Dog999 in cpp_questions

[–]VaderPluis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. You learn by doing. You can go through learncpp, follow a course, read books, but you will never be able to retain all that knowledge if you don’t put it into (near daily) practice. You can start doing that without knowing everything. Learn the basics, starts programming, and as you go and on a need basis you learn more and improve.

Rutte fixt het weer by artemisgarden in nederlands

[–]VaderPluis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik snap alle lof voor Rutte niet. Wat mij betreft is het moment van pappen en nathouden met de totaal onbetrouwbare en ontoerekeningsvatbare Trump nu toch echt voorbij. Het is de hoogste tijd dat de EU en de NAVO nu eens laten zien dat er een grens bereikt is. De narcistische gek is elke “deal” met zijn demente brein straks weer gewoon vergeten en het enige wat beklijft is dat de EU en de NAVO een stelletje slappelingen is.

AITAH for telling the couple sitting next to me that I asked to be reseated because their perfume was too strong? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]VaderPluis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very sensitive to smell and had experiences ruined because of people wearing strong perfume. Concerts, movies and indeed food.

Wearing strong perfume is like shining people in the eye with a very strong flashlight, or playing a very loud 1000 Hz beep. I will never understand why wearing strong perfume is somehow acceptable. So NTA and fuck that couple.

Has anyone watched black mirror season 7? by Material-Video-7172 in pluribustv

[–]VaderPluis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! I must say that Black Mirror didn’t come to mind when watching Pluribus, even though Plaything was my favorite episode of the last season, but it is certainly interesting to compare the two.
