One of my best instances of this was when I pronounced “ricochet” as “rich-oh-chett” (rhymes with Boba Fett) as a kid. Never gonna live that one down.
Wrote a paper on this for a network theory class back in college and came to pretty much the same conclusion. Pages tend to lead to “funnels” of similar general topics, such as Earth, science, etc. and they all make their way upward into philosophy, which is the study of thinking, since thinking is at its core how we perceive the world.
Interestingly there’s two distances from philosophy that pages tend to hover around, the closer one of which is more full of technology and science stuff while the farther one is mostly places. It’s a pretty interesting deep dive
I’ve got a folder called “apps with a white background” for shits and giggles. Still adhere to it to this day
Came here to say this. I was super surprised when I first found out that this came from Spy Kids.
I installed one when I made my first Linux PC last month in case I needed to use Windows for anything that wouldn’t work fine enough on Linux.
One month later and I still haven’t used it for anything. I think I may have underestimated how fleshed out the Linux ecosystem is these days.
It’s mostly just a stereotype. I know plenty of young white femboys who use Windows, and I’m a Linux user who is young and white but definitely not a femboy. I would say 90% of Linux users probably know how to program though.
Just made the switch at the end of December alongside making my new PC. Feels very refreshing to actually be in control of my own computer. I’ve barely run into any issues gaming either, which is a welcome surprise - Proton remains one of the best things Valve has ever done.
Man, I’d kill for a 3 day work week. I’m on a 9-80 schedule but also have to go into the office (1hr each way) 2 days a week, so I end up spending around 10 hours per day on avg Mon-Thurs and it’s absolutely miserable.
Even just a 32 hour 4-day work week would be life changing. As is, I feel like I’m just wasting time half the time i spend working because I’m so burnt out that I’m not as productive as I would be otherwise.
Good for you though. Glad to hear some employers are trying out something more conducive to how human beings actually function.
Hard agree. The whole “bigger responsibility justifies bigger paycheck” idea is bullshit when the executives are far more willing to save their own asses by fucking over employees than take a pay cut and only be able to afford 19 yachts this year.
One executive making $50m/yr is equivalent to 500 employees making $100k/yr (a fairly decent salary). Is the work they do 500x more valuable than an average employee? Strongly doubt it. The whole system’s fucking ridiculous and it absolutely disproportionally screws over the average person.
This game looks absolutely incredible. I’m not going to pre-order under any circumstances (been there, done that with these guys, lmao) but I firmly believe HG are capable of sticking the landing if they try, and if it’s all it’s cracked up to be at launch I’ll be playing the shit out of it.
If I was told I had to work 70 hours per week I’d quit on the spot.
This guy is fucking insane.
Just because Hamas support Palestine doesn’t mean that supporting Palestine makes you support Hamas. That’s like saying that because I like art and Hitler liked art that means I support Hitler (which I very much fucking don’t). It doesn’t make any sense logically.
I feel ya. I've got the same thing. Luckily I'm still young and don't have kids so I can at least adjust my schedule consistently, but man it sucks having to get up at 6 am on the weekends. The real frustrating bit is that I could totally get up 2 hours later if only I could WFH consistently. But corporate doesn't like remote work so I have to go into the office at least 2 days a week to sit at a computer all day and program. Wonderful world we live in
Yeah. There’s not many fancy restaurants that have that. But, like, most delis and bakeries you go to will usually have chips like that.
American here. Yeah, chips/crisps are sold in restaurants. They’re usually bagged too lmao. Like the restaurant just got them from the supermarket.
I think the joke is that people who don’t know how years work would think 4999 BC was before 5000.
