I can't tell you how many times this has happened. Each time I lean back in my chair and wonder why software developers are so full of themselves.

That is exceptionally thin skin. And it's amazing to me that the CEO of HBO has so much time on his hands.

...nah, I take that back. Pretty much confirms what I assume CEOs are doing all day.

Wonderful. This is what the American electorate is talking about. Not climate change, healthcare, guns, income inequality, or a billionaire tax.

No, the biggest drama is whether a candidate is wearing lifts.

We deserve the politicians we get.

A frozen chicken patty covered in cheese and sauce is not exactly what I'd call nutritious.

I love Obsidian on the desktop but I find the mobile version really hard to use. It just never responds the way I want it to and I can't be bothered to set up all my plugins again.

This will turn into a car versus bikers thread unfortunately. But from my experience, commuting by bicycle has been one of the best decisions I've made.

I started out in the suburbs, commuting by car 50 minutes each way. Over the years I kept moving closer and closer to the city and my job...which is pretty much the opposite of what Americans tend to do. Eventually I ditched the car commute for public transit, and finally ditched public transit for a bike.

Being in a car sucks. You are isolated, stuck in a behemoth monster of a machine in a sea of other machines. Your isolation makes you feel anonymous, and anonymity gives you the freedom to seethe and yell at other drivers who dare to go slower than you, faster than you, or God forbid, try to get in front of you.

On a bike you are out in the open, feeling the weather and the wind and the change of seasons and daylight. You interact with people way more, and on much friendlier terms...after all, you're no longer protected behind your locked metal box. You actually have to act like a normal, decent human.

Now yes, there are the Lycra ads-on-butts boys that pretend they're in a race, but jerks abound everywhere in every activity.

I can guarantee you they are not monitoring 30-message Lemmy posts on something that happened weeks ago for damage control. I'm sorry to say that your personal opinion is not that important.

Yes, the zipper method is much more efficient than a single line of cars 2 miles long before a lane closure.

LPT: don't take it personally when someone needs to merge.

The need to hit FPS targets has always been blown way out of proportion by the casual gamer. But seeing people bitch about their city builder not hitting 30+ is a new low in the chase for unnecessary frames.

I like how everyone is just ignoring this part:

However, Ctesias's credibility is questionable due to his reputation for fanciful and exaggerated narratives.

Also chiming in for the same reason...adopt a rescue, or better yet, adopt siblings from a rescued litter.

I bought a step through because of the child seat too. Luckily before I dropped cash on a new bike I had already discovered that there is no way to swing your leg over the bike frame when a child seat is attached.

Guys give me $3 a month and I'll tell you my opinions on this.

I have to admit I've never heard anyone read a high attrition rate and then put the blame on the workers. I really, really, hope this person isn't in any position to make decisions in an organization.

Except this was created as validation for living alone. The whole thing is rather sad really, considering that this was written by someone to justify why they're living alone.

Yea this is just silly and shortsighted. Reputation is everything, and once word gets around that you're a pretentious dick who doesn't need to attend meetings because you can't get out of bed, you'll be hard-pressed to find the next contract.

I cannot imagine a customer base that's so ecstatic with Netflix's service that they're willing to give the company even more money by buying overpriced ultra-processed meals and branded coffee cups. Why people continue to sell their souls and open their wallets to these companies is beyond me.

And ironic that OP doesn't share how to clean them.

Ironically, the people that really enjoyed this talk already understand all of these topics.
