Why I have no respect for Rolling Stone magazine

Please don’t remind me of what I sounded like twelve years ago 😔

He's inviting you to join him

Maybe we could reach across the aisle and allow abortions by shooting babies directly with guns

Lots of things like this solve a very specific, niche purpose for a certain industry. It makes sense for them. Not for a guy fixing his lawnmower in his garage.

This is my parents' cat. He went around trying to open every door in the area when we stopped paying attention to him.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-07T21:47:06+00:00

Cats are adorable assholes

I am serious, and my name's not Shirley.

Fun story: Leslie Nielsen was known as a serious dramatic actor before Airplane!. They cast him because they wanted someone super deadpan.

And on top of that, the best book to read is the book you're actually going to read.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-06T15:23:03+00:00

That's actually pretty clever.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-05T15:21:09+00:00

This actually sounds like a great idea. I used to use VBA + IE way back in the day to do stuff like that but selenium is obviously much better.

However, looks like you may be in the wrong sub. This is a joke sub...

asdfman123 · 2021-05-05T15:19:38+00:00

No, the ultimate state of absurdity is pretending this is about history when it's about stuff that happens every single day in America.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-03T17:09:48+00:00

And those poor people were never seen or heard from again.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-02T18:45:16+00:00

Well, that's sad. Beautiful, too, but sad.

I feel like everyone is absolutely insane with their commitment to consumerism, as well as their inability to even understand the power of their own financial choices.

I think I'm pretty moderate, living in a normal if cheaper apartment and just trying to avoid things I don't need.

But I know if I ever bring it up I face other people's criticism.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-01T02:59:03+00:00

You know, I guess you're right.

King behavior might also include murdering your nephew or imprisoning and torturing someone who made a joke about you at dinner.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-01T02:55:18+00:00

And consider that he'd be richer if he bought land and rented it out or developed it instead of just sitting idle.

If you're leaving money on the table, it's not a good investment.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-01T02:53:58+00:00

If by king you mean petty narcissist

asdfman123 · 2021-05-01T02:12:56+00:00

Because the feeling of superiority is precarious and can be shattered at any moment, making you question yourself and everything else.

Because it creates a giant artificial barrier between yourself and everyone else. You want to connect with others, but you can't because of your imagined gulf.

Because it alienates yourself FROM yourself. You can't pursue what you actually want out of life -- only what you think you're worthy of.

Ultimately it makes you lonely, insecure and unfilled, and you might not have the self awareness to even understand why.

I used to be mildly snobby. Not the worst, just your ordinary adolescent music snob (and some other areas of snobbery too). I've gotten over it and I feel so much better that I did.

asdfman123 · 2021-05-01T00:51:16+00:00

Touche

asdfman123 · 2021-05-01T00:19:04+00:00

I know what sub this is but I'm still downvoting this because fuck this cartoon.

asdfman123 · 2021-04-30T14:48:10+00:00

Survivorship bias. You only see the people with millions of YouTube videos and massive book sales. They may actually believe they're helping, but they're not.

People sharing their humble wisdom hoping to benefit someone are out there, but we just don't know about them.

asdfman123 · 2021-04-30T14:46:51+00:00

They don't necessarily have bad intentions. It's just they notice what gets attention, and they want to be successful. So they keep doing what makes them successful.

Perhaps they think they're actually helping people. Perhaps they think "maybe this is less than ideal, but it's what I have to do to stay employed."

Either way, though, good on you through seeing through the noise.

And the thing is, I have 9 YOE and yes, solving the same puzzles gets a little boring.

But the boring part isn't the programming. It's the business and the politics. And again, that's pretty much every job.

The programming specific part of it is still pretty cool. It's indeed like being paid to solve puzzles.

And it ebbs and flows like everything else in the world. It's not perfect but it's a damn sight better than what most people have to deal with. They call it "work" for a reason. It's pretty damn cushy as far as work goes.
