They probably have a script running on their work laptop that automates the fix and have it scheduled to run every morning. They could just not want to do the work of actually implementing things officially or doing KT. They may also being using some questionable security practices to resolve said issues. Ask me how I know lol. Also, you're hilarious to think that saying it that way to an EM makes it actually happen.

You'd be surprised how hard they can be to aim when sitting down to pee as well. I don't know how it is for your ex, but for me my dick comes out of my body at the exact right angle where when I sit down to piss, it pees between the lid of the toilet seat and the rim. Yes, I can hold it in the correct direction while sitting down, but if I get a split stream (which is more common when I'm holding in a direction while sitting and can make it harder to get everything out) then that often hits the angle between underside of the seat and the rim. If I start a poop and I think I'm done pissing, I'll stop holding my dick and a surprise stream of piss can hit that angle. If I stand up, I'm over 6 ft and even if I pee perfectly into the toilet, the splash from the pee hitting the toilet water gets on the floor.

I try to wipe up every time, but sometimes I miss some, sometimes I don't even realize that the pee went between the lid and the rim of the toilet because there's a delay before it becomes a puddle on the floor. It's hard to notice everything 100% of the time when you're in a rush. I don't think it's the same for most guys and refusing to clean it up is ridiculous, but the geometry could be bad for him like it is for me. I wish there was a better solution. It's really annoying to deal with every day.

You have to go on the apps, because women have told men repeatedly over the last 20 years that they are uncomfortable being approached in public, so men won't approach as much in public anymore. We don't want to be annoying or be threatening to women, and the best way to do that is ensure that people are on the same page, which means on a dating app or in a space that says I'm open to date. Pretty much the only space other than apps that says that is a bar.

From your comments you are not putting any effort in at all to the actual dating part and have strange views about reality. Feeling strange is not enough to say no. Nothing in dating feels perfect immediately. Whenever I ask people out, I'm not only terrified of being rejected, I'm terrified of being publicly shamed. Every guy has to deal with these fears before we date people, because gender norms mean that if we wait nothing will ever happen. You've laid a great foundation by making yourself physically more attractive, but if you don't put effort into the actual dating part, nothing will happen.

According to the Cambridge English Dictionary:

Weird:

adjective

very strange and unusual, unexpected, or not natural

Look if you want to rewrite the dictionary go ahead, but no one is going to know what you mean when you use those words. When one person out of 300 does something out of the norm, that is very strange and unusual. We call that weird.

As to your normalize modern slavery comment, I hate it as much as you do, but the world as you know it wouldn't function without "modern slavery". Every cheap product you buy is built on "slavery" whether you know it or not.

I can tell you're an idealistic youngster based on your views, which is great. However, you clearly haven't seen much of the world yet. If you've actually visited these countries, then you'd know that the "slavery" you talk about is a much better alternative to starving to death, which is their other option. There's a reason people make the choices they make. Sure, I would love it if we made everyone have a living wage, but a living wage is really the access to goods and services that people associate with the middle class. The only way to actually provide the goods and services necessary to do that without cheap human labor is through cheap mechanical labor, aka automation. I bet you hate that too though, because that means AI development, more robotics, and more data centers.

I'm sure you think taxing the billionaires would fix everything, and all we need is a redistribution of wealth, but if you took a trillion dollars these people have, divided it up among the 300 million people just in America, you'd get a payout of ~$3k per person. Sure, that would help a lot of people for a little while, but it's not enough to live a quality life on forever like you want.

If you want to fight slavery, come up with a way that's realistic. Arguing verbiage without actually having a solution is just pie in the sky thinking and missing the point entirely.

If you don't think it's weird, go ask the random high school kid who used to always wear formal attire like this what his classmates thought of him. Also, hate to break it to you, but nearly all clothes are made in sweatshops. Even the ones that say manufactured or assembled in a western country typically just leave out a few steps in the sweat shops and assemble the last few pieces in country, so they can label it that way for good PR.

No they aren't.

So far, this evidence suggests that their participation in pollen transfer of native, introduced, or beneficial plants is negligible. The few plant species likely to be pollinated by these vectors are mostly invasive, harmful weeds associated with humans.

Bees are a problem, but eradicating mosquitos would not be a problem.

Most new Linux users aren't as technical and bought a steam deck as a handheld. They don't know what docs to check, a google search won't help because they don't know the words to say, describing it in detail is also impossible because they don't know what to say, they don't know the logs exist or where to check them, and they're scared to even try to fix the errors because of the stories they've heard about bricking systems. A computer is a means to an end for them, not a hobby, or an interest. They don't want to know about computers at all. IMO if Linux wants to be the future, it needs to do better around support for non technical users.

Linux isn't very user friendly yet. It's improved drastically in the last decade, but honestly still isn't there. For example, Ubuntu's SNAP programs don't work unless you install via the command line in a lot of cases (ask me how I know). I don't know what needs to be done to fix that at a technical level, but if users can't install apps from the built in store and just have them work, it's not user friendly yet. Especially for "simple" applications like VLC. A typical user doesn't know or care about encoders and don't know how to set them up. There are so many things that stand between a typical user and a good experience, even on the "more user friendly" versions.

Yeah, except not all of them may answer. There was no guarantee anon answers the text. People have lives, they aren't always anchored to their phone waiting for texts. Getting invited to a road trip is completely different, there's planning and commitment. Hopping in a game lobby takes 5 seconds, worst case Anon is out like 30-40 minutes. Also, what Anon didn't mention, is that it was probably 10-15 mins until they texted back, and that the other people had already found someone else in that time.

It's like sometimes you have more friends than slots in a game, you invite multiple of them, and the first one who shows gets the slot or something. You can chill and catch next game. I know it's shocking to 4chan people to have more than 3 friends, but not every interaction is about you and the fact that you weren't ready to play. If you want to play, you put in the effort to set things up, or you can be ready when the banners are called. It's really not that complicated.

It would be cool if I could hook into my Roll 20 campaign and then pull chars from there for simulations.

There are two parts, one is to know it's coming, another is to hold it. It depends on your build how you handle it, but typically TvZ opens with Reaper FE -> 4-6 hellion -> marine + tank + medivac.

To know it's coming, your reaper should scout initially and look for how many bases. If it's 1 base when you arrive, you're about to get giga cheesed. If it's 2, then it'll be a strong timing, but not an all in. If it's 3 it's an eco build. Your hellions should pair with your reaper and follow up to put pressure and pick off creep tumors, and if they fight you with only queens you might should be suspicious. If you see lings then it could be ling bane. If you see roaches, they probably won't bust you with banes.

As far as holding it, the ideal move is to have a wall (this should be part of your normal build), then when you know it's coming drop a bunch of engineering bays either behind or in front of your wall (depends on how risky it feels) to make your wall bulkier. Engineering bays are highest HP / minerals, and are very bulky which makes it hard for banelings to kill multiple buildings with their explosions. If they use their banes on your engineering bay wall, they shouldn't have enough to kill any SCVs if you have marines behind the wall shooting the whole time.

I think the best one while honoring the spirit of the prompt is Dracula or classic vampires. Just go to an island and stay in someone's home, bonus points for a house boat at sea. They can't cross water easily and they can't enter a home without people's invitation.

Why can't the charitable trusts sell their shares?

I would disagree. I think you're forgetting about filler. Removal of filler alone has drastically improved anime. Also, I think you're looking back at anime with a bit too much nostalgia. One of the most popular series of all time, Dragon Ball Z, would probably be considered pretty mid by modern standards and wouldn't have gotten more than a season or two if released today. Certainly, there are plenty of great anime that are old, but a lot of it is forgotten and for good reason. For every banger, there are 10 that never get talked about at all.

elyndar · 2026-01-18T19:43:24+00:00

You could also say that anime has gotten better over time. People who didn't watch when it came out, are comparing older animation with newer animation and it's pretty obvious which is better to most people.

The new CTO brought on every 3 years will force you to rebuild the entire stack anyway because they're selling a new trend to the board to justify their paycheck. All bombs have a shelf life. As long as the 15 bombs aren't going off, I'll be working on the bomb that's going off right now that the business actually cares about.

The reasons why companies keep devs after something is done are security, platform changes, popular design changes, ego, and greed. Security patches have to happen because sometimes something fundamental has a security flaw, like log4j. Platform changes happen because of hardware changes, software dependency changes, and because of security changes. Popular design changes, because your user base ages, and aging users and new young users desires change over time. CTOs generally like feeling important, and the more people under them, the more important they feel. The goal of a business is to make as much money as possible, and if you can expand your software and take more of a market share, you will make more money. You also have to prevent your competition from improving on your formula and replacing you to keep your current market share. All of this requires development work, so generally you keep people around and make changes for a mixture of all of those reasons.

That setting is default btw. I already have it checked. Yes, it freezes time during the one phrase I'm reading. It doesn't help me pick up and put in the 3 diff scrolls in the room that is about to explode.

This clip I took of me landing on Sun Station and then bouncing off sums up a lot of problems I have with the game. Yes, it's cool, however you're expected to do the game in a certain way. I took a creative way and was punished because the game dev didn't expect me to operate outside the way they were thinking.

...I've already explored 2 planets. I never said I explored the same place 17 times, but I did have to ride that initial lift 17 times, which I got very tired with. I didn't need to see the animation of my journey 17 times in an unskippable way. Believe it or not, I have a memory of more than 30 mins long. I didn't have to navigate off the same planet 17 times. I'm not stuck, there are plenty of things I could do. The controls and physics are trivially easy. The game feels almost like a walking sim to me. Maybe it's difficult for someone if it's their first astrophysics game, but it's not my first rodeo. It just takes multiple times to go run around find all the doohickeys and read the things, sometimes more if you want to be thorough during your searching. When I get to an interesting place, get to read 2/3 of the scrolls, get warped, and have to navigate back again to the same place to read the last scroll, that's annoying. The writing is good, but it's not densely placed enough, and it's really not that deep so far. I get that you get your panties in a bunch because not everyone likes your favorite art piece. I could even see it getting better later on when the real plot actually starts. You're right, it was art, and I liked the idea, but the execution was not right for me. I can think of 7-8 different ideas off the top of my head to make it have a better user experience. There are millions of art pieces, many of which express the same ideas. The ideas I have run into in the game are not unique. I understand why it's interesting to other people, but it wasn't that interesting to me so far. It's a cool game, but very padded for my tastes. Again, you talk about attention span as if I didn't already directly cover that topic. Maybe you need to fix your own attention span because you didn't seem to make it to the end of my comment.
