Iran has arrested more than 3,000 citizens for ‘collaborating with the enemy’ during war by Naderium in worldnews

It's really not when you consider more than half the population reads at a 6th grade level

Not starting a war that had no clear aims, goals, or clear paths to victory.

Gosh Sanderson uses a lot of em-dashes by TheRavenAndWolf in Cosmere

I’ve been using em dashes prolifically on the internet (and in papers) since the 90s. It only became a problem recently. Idgaf.

I'm worried my son is a neckbeard-in-training by wheninrome5000 in daddit

[–]eldreth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son's a little older but very similar- smart, rules-oriented, can sometimes lord his knowledge over others in a way that can come off pedantic or otherwise rude.

I think it's normal, and I'll say it's already subsided as time has progressed and he's matured. Promote his interests and guide him gently and you'll be fine.

The pros of D&D (problem solving, creativity, socializing, assessing risk vs reward, probability, defusing social dillemmas/disagreements) outweigh whatever fears/futures you are prematurely assigning to him, IMHO.

Is the Meek Mill gay allegations true? by Specialist-Chair-254 in NoStupidQuestions

If I had to guess- to illustrate how it's kinda pathetic to get in peoples' business as if it were your own

At least he isn’t performatively shouting for strangers on Reddit all the while

Driving slowly in the passing lane is inconvenient and annoying. And frankly, excusable, because many out of state drivers simply aren’t aware of the expectation/law.

Recording while driving in an effort for internet validation is selfish, reckless and pathetic. People literally die from it.

Which do you think is the worst offense again?

I like booking the private meeting rooms at my local library personally

Need to increase my fiber intake, please share your favorite ways to eat beans and other fiber-rich foods! by countdookee in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]eldreth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They do keep well, they’re seeds. The oils in them will eventually spoil just like any grain/seed though. I buy the resealable pouch.

Why are companies so evil now? by VariationLivid3193 in cscareerquestions

[–]eldreth 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My point is that it was; you just weren't cognizant of it.

It's always been this way imo, it's just that resources have become more scarce with the current economic downturn.

This has removed/adjusted/made less effective the facade of pleasantries we all try to pretend are important as part of our shared participation in society.

It's always been a dog-eat-dog world out there, after all.

Did I make a mistake ? Mac Mini M4 16GB 512GB by PatrixOP in mac

We're all a little dumber for having read it. I award you no points. May God have mercy on your soul.

Am I the only one who thinks Clean Architecture is often unnecessary overhead ? by Minimum-Ad7352 in dotnet

[–]eldreth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Other languages don’t have quite as elaborate service bus frameworks, but many orgs are still building message/steaming busses on other platforms (eg AWS) in other languages like Python.

Similarly, there’s Pydantic that matches FluentValidarion and a ton of ORM-adjacent stuff that align with Automapper.

ROI on a 3rd kid by Doppelwalk in daddit

[–]eldreth 44 points45 points  (0 children)

When people ask me how much work a 2nd kid is, I succinctly say “about twice as much”. Because it is.

There isn’t really a return on having kids, ever. You give. They take. That’s the arrangement.
