I literally can’t function in hot weather – does anyone feel the same?
Nope. I can only function in hot weather. Or at least what most people would find to be too warm by far.
My brain shuts down below about 68 degrees. Can’t think, can barely move, don’t want to live.
I’ve been seeing a lot of doofs lately claiming that some study proves the Dunning-Kruger Effect isn’t real.
Just as with generational differences, of course it’s real. It’s just not easy to capture in your little science spreadsheets. There is a difference.
I am only just now really discovering Amy Shark, but she’s excellent.
I enjoy the chaotic dissonance.

Fuck this clown-ass nonsense.
Being consistently late is a moral failing and it is disrespectful. You are implicitly telling me that your time is more valuable than mine. One of the reasons I am almost never late is that I do not presume to believe my time is more valuable than anyone else’s. And I am one arrogant mofo so if I value your time just as much as my own, you can show me that courtesy as well.
I just stop dealing with people who are consistently late. It is literally not worth my time.
They are just degrowthers. They have no real principles other than that.
I’d never take steroids, but if I got this muscular completely naturally I’d be a fuckin’ beast on ‘roids.
Not even tempting; just an amusing thought.

Why, Microsoft. Why must you be like this. Who hurt you.
The thing is, though Graph is terrible, I am sure its replacement will be far worse.
Graph is very developer-y in that is extremely, absurdly verbose and also ridiculously complex. I’ve had similar experiences to the above. What used to be single-line commands are now 30-50 lines.
I was forced by MSOL deprecation to rewrite a Powershell script that I used rather commonly. It was around 100 lines long. It’s now 2,000 lines of Graph slop. And it’s not even as functional as the old one as actual capabilities were removed.
I do not understand why insane complexity is so appealing to dev types and I guess I never will.
Damn I hate degrowthers.
“Justice-affected.”
That’s a criminal. He did some crimes.
I saw someone who was worried that people didn’t have enough empathy for Decarlos Brown after he brutally murdered Iryna Zarutska. I mean, idiot leftists are gonna idiot leftist. But still. That’s the kind of evil that’s hard to even think about.
Decarlos Brown deserves one thing, and that is to be executed humanely, quietly, but quickly. That’s all. It won’t bring Iryna back. But it’ll mean there are no future Irynas.
These people talk about “empathy” when they just want chaos and destruction.
