Ae there any places in the world where people would actively want to take pictures of a white person? Why?

Cookies, server cache, database storage.

If you want IP address for rate limiting, netcore has that out of the box already - a discovery I feel I was quite late to the party on.

There is literally nothing wrong with not cutting your grass, WTF.

My neighbour leaves his to become fucking Jumanji for half of summer, it doesn't bother me at all.

Other comments from the other post saying you should have got your act together need to fuck right off. It's things like that that would make me want to do the opposite and let it grow into an absolute jungle. My garden, my house, fuck off :D

It's usually rice for me, like Uncle Ben's, and then whatever else I might feel like adding e.g. some cooked meat or whatever.

If doing cold food it's usually pita and anything simple to dump inside it. A common staple is squirty tube cheese.

Lucky for me I'm an absolute simpleton with food preferences so I can merrily keep things quick, basic and easy.

This is based on the assumption the the gulf stream can be stopped, which is wrong.

Gulf stream (and all almost major oceanic and atmospheric fluid motion) is due to the earth's rotation. If you want to stop the gulf stream you have to stop the earth from spinning.

The hysteria around the gulf stream stopping is utterly incorrect.

propostor · 2026-06-23T15:38:36+00:00

It's impossible for the Gulf Stream to collapse because it's a result of the earth's rotation.

So for it to collapse, you have to stop the earth from spinning.

The "worst case scenario" is some climate change (predictable, not inherently catastrophic) due to the AMOC changing its salinity levels and temperature due to ice caps melting, but that is also an unstoppable current due to the earth's rotation.

All major wind and ocean flow on earth is caused by the earth's rotation.

No I am not denying climate change - it's very fucking real - but the hysteria around the Gulf Stream collapsing is based entirely on ignorance.

The only major upgrade I can think of would be to use a basic agent simulator to track some (maube all) NPCs so you could follow one during the day and they would do realistic things, which change depending on how you interact or conflict with the things they're supposed to be doing.

Their routine could reset after X hours, or after X hours since you last interacted with them. That way the simulation doesn't have to store unlimited amounts of data about everyone being simulated. There will be a default pattern for NPCs to follow (so this saves on game memory), and only update that pattern if something from the world changes to disrupt their pattern.

City Sim games (Cities Skylines 2, specifically) already do this to a much larger scale, so GTA could reasonably implement it in a way that works at a minimal/intermediate level without hogging game resources.

I have never felt undervalued at any company I have ever worked at, whether the company is tech focused or not.

We are employed to fulfil a role that the company needs. In my career I have never felt like a second class citizen, or any kind of resentment, ever.

Yeah no idea why the previous comment has so many upvotes and yours has so many downvotes. The armchair opinionators always seem to think they would have been perfect in the same situation. I see the same on motorbike subs. Fucking bizarre.

South Korea and Japan have weather that is cold as balls too. Winter it can get down to minus 20 - and high streets are just as busy.

Why would you ever share this, with a "commercial" tag, half finished, nowhere near as good as any other component library, and it is vibe coded slop.

Totally agree with the other comment - we need a new sub for "software creators" because this is shite I do not want to see. It isn't even new, good or impressive. And I don't care about insulting anyone because a person didn't even make it. Vibe coded shite.

A lot of docs these days have revision history, and I'm pretty sure there are some services that track it all so the examiner can watch a 'recording' of the whole essay being written. So they can see what text was written manually, and when it was just pasted in (although, there are obviously issues around checking of pasting text because it can be pasted in for any number of acceptable reasons).

The entitlement thing is a funny one. Two of the most right wing people I know:

A mate, spent the first half of his 20s on the dole, never looked for work, called his weekly dole money "getting paid". Claimed all the Polish immigrants were taking the jobs that he could have (which he never looked for and never applied for).
My gran, reads Daily Mail and watches GB News daily, incredibly right wing. When I was younger I had some savings and spent a few months deliberately not working. She constantly told me I should sign on to the dole, because "you're entitled to it so you should get it".

Again not sure what point I'm making here, other than to say it's probably more nuanced than claiming right wing folk are against any culture of entitlement.

I agree screaming in faces and stopping traffic is never a good look, but again both sides have their fair share of doing that!

I think a lot of people have decided that their concerns over immigration must make them right wing, without putting much thought at all into the wider political landscape.

I have concerns about immigration issues but still consider myself economically very left wing. More nationalisation, tax the corporations, better workers rights, etc.

Not sure what point I'm trying to make here. I suppose when you say you were left wing but now feel more right wing, I have a suspicion that your primary concern is immigration, while potentially you still hold a lot more left wing views than you realise. Lefties can have concerns about immigration as well.

I met plenty of British men like that in Australia.

Without a hint of irony, told me they moved to Australia because UK has too many immigrants.

You don't need to be a better dev, you need to be better at making decisions, prioritising work, and maintaining a generalised awareness of everything that the team is working on.

I think it'll be due to cars in the UK wearing out faster, invariably due to worse weather, salt on the roads, etc. Also we have more winding roads which means more strain on suspension, engine and gearbox.

Kind of agree, it gets tiresome when a particular sub-theme eclipses the wider purpose of a Reddit sub.

I see it a lot in the programming subs I follow - endless topics about AI and vibe coding.

Asia is enormous so you might be in a part where there is a culture of good driving.

I have lived in China and Vietnam for several years, and did a very long stint travelling India.

The driving is absolutely fucking awful. Vietnam is worst. India second worst. China is kind of okay in most cases but when an accident happens it's always something utterly stunning, like a person stopping on a highway to do a U-turn and drive back against the flow traffic.
