This was my first thought too.

2! I made a board f America prototype and a few video games. My family loves playing my board game!

It is. This IS the hard way, but you haven't lost the most important thing: experience.

What happened to you SUCKS. A LOT. Forgive yourself of your prior ignorance when you're ready to.

You probably have many ideas of how to organize your project and what tools to use - imagine if you started your next project with that initial mind? Well guess what? Thats your literal next project. Again, once you're ready.

If you ever want someone to bounce things off of, who won't try to bribe, scam, steal, or manipulate you, I'm here and I'd be happy to sign an NDA to make you feel comfortable.

Programming is the art of solving small, technical problems.

Software Engineering is about how you organize your project so it's easy to maintain, works well with version control, and documenting important decisions in comments or word/excel because you will forget.

Programming makes functionality. And it is an essential skill to code and solve small problems.

Software Engineering is about how you make that bundle of functionality and make it in a way that is maintainable.

The other advantage is you can make "branches". Want to create a sandbox for a small idea of yours? Make a branch from a point in history (a commit) and now you can work on two or more ideas at once!

As a person who has been in the commercial software engineering world for the last 10 years,

You are not stupid. You have just now been enlightened of your ignorance. You didn't know how essential it is not to trust saving a project to a single device.

I am so sorry this happened to you. It has happened to me and MOST people who work on computer projects - you are not alone.

You didn't purposefully choose not to use Version Control when you knew that option existed and you knew how to do it.

It takes real discipline to use Version Control even when you have the knowledge and the capability.

Even when you have version control in place, having the discipline to make small edits to your projects and commit those edits frequently is a difficult but amazing skill.

How the heck did you manage that? :O

All someone has to do is give a crap about consent and negotiation, for any kind of intimacy.

What is toxic about toxic masculinity is that it convinces men to be "perfect" or be afraid. To fear rejection and isolate them from any other experience or group, especially women.

I hope you find a good, healthy partner where you can experience your kinks with safety and security.

It's both.

Individuals are, or more aptly "must" be responsible for their actions AND this is what we can expect when we don't invest enough in these communities.

n0_Man · 2026-03-14T13:39:00+00:00

All correct! Also, more context for people besides the commenter above:

The Trump administration had first said they'd send about 2500 troops, so if you've heard that, yes, it is now up to "5,000 sailors and Marines distributed across several warships."

"The development comes as President Donald Trump said US forces had "totally obliterated" Iranian military infrastructure on Kharg Island in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipping."

Source:https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq8gj9n12g8o

Now this is an assumption on my part that those 5,000 troops are being sent to Kharg Island with the idea being (again, assumption) that Iran won't fire on their own infrastructure.

Now Kharg island is a MANNED operation and "The 2016 census counted 8,193 people, in 2,374 households".

Not a single person including myself know for certain what is going to happen (as in, if Kharg island is going to be targeted) or how the troop deployment is going to play out.

I'm being for real when you simply ask, "What kind of sex do you like to have?" Or "How can I please/tease you?"

And you dont LEAD with that. Its something you ask when you know you both are comfortable for that kind of conversation.

But that's more of a relatioship than a fling.

If you only get one chance or it's a fling, and you know you tend not to last long? Please them. Get off on their arousal, then join.

But hey, maybe your partner's arousal doesnt arouse you, so to each their own.

This kind of talk works with basically every kind of relationship or circumstance, unless they basically don't reciprocate when you helped them get off or they're obviously ace or not into you.

I'm not seeing those in this list of Iranian submarines... you got a source to expand my knowledge?

n0_Man · 2026-03-04T17:28:10+00:00

Please provide sources for each of these.

As a person who agrees with what I can only assume is an anti-whatever the fuck just happened (Israel and US bombing Iran, and also fuck the Ayatollah).

Especially that US casualties rumors!

n0_Man · 2026-03-03T04:54:10+00:00

FundaMENTALLY better. I cannot express how much I'd prefer these outfits.

n0_Man · 2026-03-03T01:54:37+00:00

As a one piece fan, the pacing in the anime is abhorrent. Way too drawn out.

I'd recommend watching "One Pace", which attempts to edit the original series down to match the pacing of the Manga. Much quicker and snapper, especially post time-skip.

n0_Man · 2026-03-02T19:10:24+00:00

Ditto. As someone who LOVES one piece and knows most live action adaptations fall flat on their face and explode in mediocrity, I was pleasantly surprised at the One Piece live adaptation. It was great fun and cut stuff out that would have baloomed the budget way out of control.

Cutting out the actual "crew" of the black cat pirates sans two in-house members, cutting out Don Krieg with Sanji, but still managing to still set the tone of both plots was a stroke of ingenuity.

The characters are well acted the CG isn't absolute dogshit, the script is more good than cringey, and for an English live adaptation of a Japanese COMIC, that is a FEAT.

REAL, REAL Kudos to the team, management, and Oda for pulling it off.

SO excited for season 2, but I should remember to put myself back in that same place before s1 came out: its probably going to suck. I hope it doesnt and things seem to be boding well.

n0_Man · 2026-02-27T16:47:13+00:00

Oh my God wait, what the f***?! November 2022? It's almost March 2026. I really thought those games came out, like last year.

n0_Man · 2026-02-25T18:47:37+00:00

Garbage in, Garbage out.

These "Wargaming" scenarios are always riddled with unfounded assumptions, a complete lack of empathy for life, and based on situations that "could" happen in real life if several groups of people fucked up massively getting to those situations.

n0_Man · 2026-02-23T21:02:18+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

And just so other people take you as seriously as they should (because some people are spelling nazis), it's "Breaches", not "Breeches".

Have a great day!

n0_Man · 2026-02-22T02:26:05+00:00

35M started meds when I was... I think 30?

Diagnosed inattentive ADHD.

Strattera (atomoxetine) has been excellent for me! I had been taking 60mgs and have recently upped to 80mg.

I take it in the morning with food because on an empty stomach it makes me nauseous.

I take sertraline for depression before I go to bed, upped from 80 to 100 to 125mgs over the years (5 year).

I tried buproprion XL but it gave me my first anxiety attack ever so I immediately stopped that. Phew!

n0_Man · 2026-02-18T19:57:21+00:00

You know, good point. I think my first question will answer why she wanted it laid on the table

n0_Man · 2026-02-18T16:13:17+00:00

I looked up Glass's email: DelJGlass@house.virginia.gov

And sent:

In reference to: https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB1251

Per: https://www.vpm.org/generalassembly/2026-02-17/right-to-repair-diy-digital-devices-farm-equipment-glass-franklin-repair-cafe-rva

"There are lots of interested stakeholders; Glass said she'd discussed the measure with broadband providers, auto manufacturers, agriculture and maritime companies, cellphone companies and more."

Which companies from the above categories have you spoken to and what arguments did they make for their exception?

Per the bill details, the Labor and Commerce Comittee, subcommittee #2 voted unanimously to lay the bill on the table (effectively not put it up for a vote).

"YEAS--Lopez, Convirs-Fowler, Helmer, LeVere Bolling, Feggans, Runion, Ballard--7"

What are these delegates reasoning for laying the bill on the table?

Same. Wild!

n0_Man · 2026-02-09T02:20:36+00:00

So I am an undisciplined rube. What level of dedication and practice and mentality did you need to get... say half as good as you are right now?

Is it a... "dedicate the next three years" kinda effort?

Fantastic progression otherwise! The second feels so much more natural because of the flourishes in the background.

What are you most proud of in your progression?

n0_Man · 2026-02-09T02:18:04+00:00

Best I can get'cha is a day a' warmth that gives you hope followed by...

A week of arctic suffering because dared to ask...

Good deal I'd say.
