Why would you expect them to be immune to stupidity?

In the Gameboy one , you can kill the chicken with the fire wand thing and then the swam stops.

Every jury I’ve been on has been full of really disappointing people. But I’ve only been on two, so it’s a small sample size.

DND is a weird mix of too many rules and not enough rules.

I switched to Linux a year or two ago. Pretty much every game I’ve played has worked fine. (Elden ring, guild wars 2, nioh2, pillars of eternity…)

Even non-steam stuff was basically click and go with Heroic launcher

Many things are completely arbitrary and yet have weight. Laws. Language. Being arbitrary is not sufficient reason to discard the idea on its own.

It has basis in reality in that it reflects the experience and judgement of many people. It’s a common expression. Given this post seeks the judgment of people, that basis is insufficient to discard it.

Your reasoning is bad.

(46/2)+7 = 30. 30 is the floor. 25 is too young.

The soul of the USA is rotten. We don’t believe in collective things like mass transit.

Seriously, folks, how hard is it to just walk away?

I read recently that “will power” doesn’t meaningfully exist, but it’s rather the result of many other factors. That said, many people seem to be bankrupt of what one would call willpower. I don’t know why.

Maybe it’s the capitalist hell scape. Maybe it’s the plastic in our bodies. Maybe people are just largely social followers, and with a large enough contingent of idiots many people who would behave better follow down into the slop.

I affectionately call lemmy “the commie site”, but my current instance I think defederated with a lot of the spicier places.

Something like half of the US can’t read at a 6th grade level. They cannot read and understand the complex writing at the bottom.

We used to do retrospectives at one of my old jobs, because everywhere loves cargo-culting agile and scrum stuff.

I quickly realized that a lot of the problems were largely outside the team’s control. It was shit like “The CEO doesn’t believe in designers or UX, so he won’t hire one, so we spend a lot of time doing that work badly ourselves.” Or, “management is making us spend all this time in ‘planning meetings’ so we don’t get anything done”

Stuff that has easy solutions, but we can’t do because some idiot or powerful cry-baby is in the way.

My last job was pretty good about code reviews, when people actually spent time on them. My front end code got much better when the front-end expert actually reviewed it.

My current job, code reviews are a rubber stamp farce and I’ve seen total garbage sail though. The code base is a tire fire. These things are related.

I suggested at my current job that we adopt a policy of fixing things as we go. Boss wasn’t interested. He said his boss said “he doesn’t want people gold plating things”.

Okay. I guess we’ll keep this tower of bash scripts that breaks once a month.

Misread the /s as is and was mildly confused.

Also yes, police have very poor or negative value for what they cost.

Late Afternoon? I work from home. I shower before going out into the world socially.

One of the reasons I like seeing smaller shows is sometimes you get more genuine interactions.

One time I saw Sincere Engineer and near the end someone in the audience shouted "play corn dog sonnet #7.

The singer was like "we played that one at the start "

The fan went, “I was late! I missed it!”

The singer asked the crowd, “Do you all want to hear it again?”

Everyone cheered, so they played it again.

Well, yes, though my direct manager isn’t the worst. He’s trying to protect me from other teams that might get pissy.

One of my friends is a product manager type and his analysis was basically “if stakeholders don’t care it’s not a problem, even if by any reasonable metric it is a problem”. So. Here we are.

Well surely you can agree that letting men into women’s change rooms

If the idea is that that’s a no-no because men are sexually attracted to women, then I must remind you that gay people exist.

If the idea is that men cannot be trusted, then there are many other spaces where men have power that should be examined first.

I can’t imagine why I’d want to put on an informational video and not pay attention.

I listen to music at work.
