I couldn’t be bothered cooking after walking from school x3

Why do you multiply the last word of your comments by three?

I imagine it’s easier to catch uploaders than viewers.

It’s also probably more impactful to go for the big “power producers” simultaneously and quickly before word gets out and people start locking things down.

Not sure how related it is, but in Canada, I’m seeing HDD and SSD prices generally being “on sale” for the regular prices from last year (same specs and everything!)

Even people who had great childhoods often spend “the other 8 hours” trying to be kids again.

You either gotta do it like the rest of us and find time for enjoyment between work and errand, or find a way to make money off your “adult childhood”. Neither is easy, but you’ve been through a lot, so you’re obviously capable of doing difficult things.

It might help if you schedule time for it. That way, you can say, “On Tuesday, I’m going to do these things I missed out on as a kid from 7 to 9pm”. And then you play. Or whatever.

You need this, and everyone needs it, so don’t feel bad about scheduling it. You’re helping yourself heal.

This isn’t using the meme effectively.

“Nobody wants to work anymore for you” would’ve been closer

I think a professional headline would usually just lack the comma there. Headlines typically have weird phrasing (due to their terseness), but they’re generally still grammatically sound.

I think “HackerNews owner hacked” would be a headline, rather than “HackerNews owner, hacked”.

“Have I Been Pwned owner pwned” seems to be on par with “Headline English” to me

It feels awkward to me. I don’t think it’s grammatically correct. To me, it doesn’t add any clarity, especially when the comma could’ve been the word “got” or something, lol

Not necessarily. If someone is genuinely socially liberal, they won’t like politicians that dehumanize minority groups. They won’t necessarily want to pay to protect them, but they’d generally be in favour of laws to protect them, etc.

I am not fiscally conservative, but I’ve met people like this. Pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion, probably even pro-churches-paying-taxes.

But cutting funding to education to lower taxes? Sure. Anti-public transit (unless they’re smart and know that public transit can be more efficient). Anti-international spending. Stuff like that.

But I live in Canada, where we actually do have a “Centre-ish” party that’s generally fiscally conservative to an extent, but socially liberal. And our right-wing party isn’t quite as big on the dehumanizing aspect. Banning abortion isn’t really on the table, and banning gay marriage is generally an unpopular opinion for even the right-wing political leaders.

Why is there a comma in the, title?

Yeah,.there are plenty of instances where I’m adding a new URL for a password because the app and the website are too different from each other, or the app changes its login paths…

Or heck, sometimes it’s close enough, and with my password manager on my phone, I don’t have it auto fill – I have it auto-suggest. So “Probably a match” and “Exact match” have the same path to entry.

…did you think there were perfect people in the White House before this? Or at any point in your life? Haha

(Maybe as a child would that make sense…)

Only just today?

I don’t like paying taxes to fund public services, but I don’t care what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms

Now it’s just going for those sr dev roles…

Yes, myself. That’s it though

That’d be a crappy downgrade. The US needs to get someone a bit less dementia-riddled in charge

We also have the ability these days to back up a lot of our physical media. It wasn’t so easy back when those things were new.

Yeah, and as someone who is actively trying to vote for improvement, I’m disappointed time and time again at people who think we should be comparing ourselves to the US’s metrics and not the rest of the developed world. We could be doing so much better.

Canada. Could be a lot better, but I’m happy that we’re not currently doing as badly as they are south of the border.

I’ve been working relatively high-paying precarious positions, but my circumstances have allowed me to build myself a safety net. So even if the government can’t support me should something go wrong, I can support myself, at least for a time.

I currently have enough money to engage in hobbies and socialize. What I’m currently wishing for is more time.

I haven’t had a paid sick day in my life, though I have had a couple “We can’t give you a paid sick day, but we can pay you to do light work from home” in the last couple of years. The last time I had a paid vacation day and a job still lined up was in 2020. Though I do get statutory holidays, so it’s not terrible.

First world problems. Overall, I’m happy with my life. This year, I’m looking to turn my precarious positions into a full-time gig. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll try to turn my side-gig into a full-time thing (and take the pay cut in exchange for life satisfaction). And if neither of those works out, I have my safety net which should be able to carry me through until I can get more contracts. And my partner may be looking at income increases next year, which should make everything easier.

Things haven’t always been this good for me, but I’m happy with where they are and where they’re going.
