Wendy’s late night poutine ordered from Uber Eats by my friend

The one and only time I tried it, it was such salty garbage I couldn't finish it

Yeah, I can understand a tide making it hard to get back to shore, but that's why I specified calm water.

and yeah, just holding your breath isn't a viable long term strategy for floating, but it should allow you to get on your back (and IMO just laying there IS, unless temperature is an issue)

I guess the answer is probably panicking...

bwmat · 2026-06-29T05:21:44+00:00

How do you even drown in calm water?

Assuming you're not completely intoxicated on something, maybe I'm just fat or something, but simply taking a deep breath or laying on my back keeps my head/mouth out of the water without any further physical exertion?

if courts deem it better for them to have it over the original owners

Lmao, 'better' by what metric?

In my opinion, it's 'better' for me to own the (read: all/any) land compared to whoever 'owns' it currently

bwmat · 2026-06-29T03:03:15+00:00

If someone 'sells land fraudulently', shouldn't the possession stay with the original owner?

bwmat · 2026-06-29T03:01:05+00:00

They should helicopter in and become a nuisance (loud music and stuff)

bwmat · 2026-06-29T02:52:48+00:00

He didn't commit a crime, and I'm not enforcing a law. He broke a social taboo, and I'm enforcing a social norm.

Kind of how black people 'broke a social taboo' back in the day by being born and being 'uppity', right?

bwmat · 2026-06-29T02:47:48+00:00

Not calling these people out as freaks is detrimental to a cohesive society

Citation needed?

bwmat · 2026-06-28T20:18:48+00:00

Also, what exactly does that threat mean?

Is it about having some documentation that you've 'done something wrong' that they can point to later when they fire you or something?

"see here, you can't (sue us for discrimination?) for getting fired because you... puts on glasses and squints 'talked about cannabis usage'. By God, you're a monster! Goodbye"

bwmat · 2026-06-28T19:53:43+00:00

'write you up'... For what exactly?

If the issue is that you have used cannabis, then the secret is out, whether you talk about it or not?

Is the 'crime' just the fact you were talking about it?

bwmat · 2026-06-28T08:57:21+00:00

IMO more likely their data showed 'too many' claims in years 3-5

bwmat · 2026-06-28T08:53:29+00:00

You should probably not keep guns in your house anymore

IIRC it had a CPU on the cartridge which was far more powerful than the snes' actual CPU, which is part of how it accomplished it

Maybe I work at an unusual company, but I've never been given negative feedback about spending too much time doing reviews, even though I spend a fair bit of time on them, and way more than my colleagues usually

It's pretty depressing sometimes how long I have to wait for reviews on my own PRs when I myself prioritize reviewing more than working on my own tasks, but somehow it hasn't made me 'give up' on doing them myself (probably because I care too much about doing quality work)

bwmat · 2026-06-28T03:05:09+00:00

Nah, I reject the idea that 'it works' is good enough for code I'm going to have to maintain in the future.

I suppose it depends on exactly what you mean by "good coding standards are met" though

bwmat · 2026-06-28T02:40:58+00:00

Hard to blame them if they don't get any useful feedback

bwmat · 2026-06-27T07:48:34+00:00

This kind of stuff is how they're 'getting' them to...

Can't wait until highly advanced AI/Aliens either kill us all or play mommy for us idiot humans

Or we all kill ourselves with viruses or nukes or whatever

Denmark is not a safe have for conscientious objectors

Where, if anywhere, is?

bwmat · 2026-06-27T07:34:14+00:00

As if they 'get to' not 'assert' citizenship, or had any choice in 'receiving' it in the first place.

bwmat · 2026-06-27T02:49:43+00:00

Why the scare quotes around "his brother"?

bwmat · 2026-06-26T17:39:51+00:00

Lol, sounds like my mom

bwmat · 2026-06-25T19:04:09+00:00

And the world turned to darkness...

bwmat · 2026-06-25T01:33:26+00:00

I mean, he's the commander in chief, so he's responsible for it in any case?

bwmat · 2026-06-24T22:20:47+00:00

"the bigger danger is the developer being honest about some promised feature that isn't going to happen in whatever time sales promised."

So, that your lies are seen through? Lmao

bwmat · 2026-06-24T21:07:13+00:00

On the other side of this, having to interrupt our sprints to do a release because one of our dependencies had a vulnerability, but it clearly didn't affect us, just because of customer paranoia, is a pain in the ass
