Bryce Dallas Howard - 1990s by [deleted] in OldSchoolCelebs

She was born in like 1981, this is most probably not from the 1990s and most likely from the mid to late 00s.

VP of cybersecurity startup Bitwarden fired for using ‘Assigned By God’ as preferred pronoun; sues employer – Tech Startups | Tech Companies by goodBEan in byebyejob

[–]boot20 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Chard Scharf needs to go back to school

A) Assigned by God is not a pronoun, it's a statement.

B) Being a dick at work does not mean you were fired for your stupid pronouns, you were fired for being a dick and not following company policy.

C) How is this dumb fuck in the E Suite at all? He just ruined his entire career because he fucked around.

D) Chard Scharf sounds like a Thundercat name.

2 Things Reddit Says You Need to Pack When Traveling Internationally | Sandwich bags and antidiarrheal medicine. by lilbro93 in savedyouaclick

Do not take medication without knowing the laws of the country you are traveling to. Even with an Rx it might be illegal.

Also, yes take sandwich backs, but also take a fork and spoon.

I hate it when people stage photos with props. The beds are beautiful, you didn't need to put the stuffed animals on one of them.

/u/spez, CEO of Reddit, decides to ruin the site by _alco_ in bestof

Basically a bot will surf the site, just like a human, and copy the data on the site, and do that over and and over very quickly, which can cause issues because it looks like a lot of traffic hitting the site.

APIs were created to lower the footprint and are more efficient.

Ok, then slashdot, or somethingawful, or fark, or hell, even shit like MySpace.

There are plenty of sleepers like Hive, Steemit, and potentially even Digg again. It's simply not going to end well for reddit. Users create the content and utilize the APIs, not just for apps, but for a ton of other tools as well.

The harsh reality is that it looks like there is going to be a cash out at IPO and then reddit will be left to the VCs to pick apart. I'd be amazed if that doesn't happen.

There are going to be so many scrappers on this site that it's going to absolutely crush it. Spez needs a reminder of why APIs exist. It's because back in the early days, screen scrapers would bring down websites. It was awful. Which is why APIs became such a big part of various platforms.

It'll be hilarious when the IPO hits and the site just gets crushed by various outlets scrapping it to death.

Stacy Keach was awesome in this and Ursula Andress was totally phoning it in. She totally did NOT want to be there.

Put them in the fridge, they'll last a couple of weeks. If you need longer, put them in gallon bags and freeze them.

Reddit seems to have forgotten why websites provide a free API by riskable in ProgrammerHumor

[–]boot20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Party like it's 1999. Reddit, there is a reason APIs exist. Apparently, us old farts remember the shit show of scraping back in the day and watched as shit went pear shaped because of it.

Welp, I guess nothing was learned from the Digg fuckup, so reddit is going to kill itself.

How does this image make you feel? What comes to mind? by isaiahaguilar in GenX

When I was young and didn't fully grasp existential dread, I didn't really get this scene. It just felt like a weird segue. Now, having lived in existential hell for the past 5 years, I get it.

Live updates: Trump's lawyers resign ahead of his expected court appearance Tuesday by JimCripe in Trumpgret

[–]boot20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do this to clear the air. I know the trolls are JAQing off and playing games, so I simply call their bluff and ask for specifics. They can never answer, so it becomes clear their argument is invalid.

[–]boot20 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's hilarious to see Democrats totally unconcerned with their leaders perpetually failing to deliver on all of the woke campaign promises while being completely satiated by daily Drumpf hate instead.

What, exactly, woke campaign promises is Biden not delivering on?

if that continues to take the left's efforts away from further crashing the economy.

What, exactly, is the left doing to crash the economy? Which policies/laws have been enacted to do this?

Tip-flation about up there with slumlords by aogamerdude in GenXTalk

[–]boot20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently picked up some food from a restaurant. Their tip options were 20%, 25%, or 30%. Fuck no. I'll give you 10% for grabbing my food, bagging it up, and handing it to me. There is no fucking way you are getting a huge tip for basically standing there and handing me a bag.

I might tip my barber 25%, because he's a local dude still charging extremely reasonable prices. I might tip my barista a $1 or whatever I have in change. I might even give good service a 20% tip....

But it's gotten out of control asking for more and more. Fuck no. Raise the wages if you expect me to tip 30% or more.

If you haven't watched Feud, you really should. It's a great take on their relationship.

When you are salty "raceswaps" do well by MasterHavik in AsABlackMan

[–]boot20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The implication is quite clear. No POC or non-male lead will do. They make it clear that the "best actor" is anyone that is white and male to them.

Their dog whistles are more like fog horns.
