I always think this when I see people with main character syndrome. Folks that just seem impervious to the thought they might be inconveniencing others.

Me, I overcorrect so much that I now need therapy because I am constantly thinking of others first.

Na wat er gisteren is voorgevallen denk ik dat het belangrijker dan ooit is om een integer en verenigd Europa te hebben en niet te zwichten voor corruptie en autoritaire figuren zoals Órban.

Ik stem al een tijdje Volt om die reden, jaren geleden stemde ik D'66 maar aangezien zij best bereid zijn hun idealen overboord te gooien om maar te kunnen regeren, is bij mij de liefde voor D'66 een beetje over. Daarnaast kan ik me vaak ook iets beter vinden in Volt op de details van Europa.

Maybe don't have kids in the first place if they make you unhappy.

Besides, if the kid had a say in it I doubt they would consent if they knew what kinda future they were heading into.

I'm from the Netherlands, we were just ahead of the US elections. I know the hardcore Trumpers will never be convinced by any amount of solid proof that they are wrong but we somehow elected a populist blowhard and after a very difficult formation (it's what happens when you need to form a coalition to form a cabinet usually necessary if you have more than two parties) we got a state government of people so incompetent, I wouldn't let them preside over a local gardening club.

I was kind of intrigued when they picked a former director of the Dutch intelligence agency to be prime minister but that dude just screams 'I don't belong here and I disagree with everything my cabinet does'.

Now, they haven't fundamentally screwed the pooch on anything that the Netherlands has built over the last three decades, but there are definitely plans to make our country less of a refuge for people in need of help in spite of folks who take advantage of a too friendly system.

The (western, I can't speak to a world I'm no active part of) world is changing. It's becoming tougher, and that essentially means that if you have either money, power or both you'll be fine. If you don't, well... dark days are ahead.

The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. Any time you feel you are witnessing an injustice, think to yourself, what would good men (I'm obviously saying 'men' to mean 'humans') be doing to make evil not succeed?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

The beach is great. The only issue is that on days worth going, lots of other folks will be there.

We heat up the planet by 4 or 5 degrees, it's gonna get much less crowded. It'll be like a perfect, permanent vacation.

Yeah I prefer summer to winter so if we get summer and super summer now I would enjoy that until I'm dead and after that, why should I care?

/s just in case.

Have you ever cheated at a game, cut corners on work or purposefully did something unfair to get better from it yourself?

Yeah it's much easier to win without any pesky ethics or a strong moral compass.

Good folks have been struggling uphill since the Ancient Greeks as long as there are folks trying to win with a different rule book.

Agile is a critical one. I'm a data analyst and a data engineer (I do a bit of both) but most of my work is in the Microsoft stack. There are loads of certificates to get from Microsoft, like the AZ-900, DP-900, DP-600 if you're interested in Fabric.

But for the Agile thing, consider traditional project development as a straight line. There is a start and an end. Agile projects look like an input line into loads of loops. These loops are called 'sprints'. In a sprint, every developer takes ownership of work items and by the end of the sprint, they are finished. If not, they need to be refined or they are taken into the next sprint. There's will be someone who guards the process, there is someone who knows what they want but there isn't really a project leader.

If you're interested in doing agile projects at large companies, you'll likely go from developing to implementing straight into maintaining the environment. Look into DevOps. It's the future of project development, especially in IT.

A switch, or, more accurately, a toggle, moves an entity from one state to another until it is triggered again.

A button, or, more specifically, a gate, triggers something just once.

The original keyboard switch, the buckling spring, can be explained as a button, but what actually happens is you press a button, or a key, which compresses a spring, toggling a switch. It is in the release of the key that the distinction arrives.

Once you press the key and hold it, the system will register continuous input of that switch (toggle on). Once you release it, the toggle goes off again.

If the key were to function as a button, holding it would only register as one hit until it is pressed again.

I'm not sure but I would guess that there are 'standards' involved. Usually guys who go incel see a physical relationship as some sort of conquest.

They are more interesed in the act than the person. And for that act, they want it to be some sort of achievement so rather than getting to know someone they only go by shallow characteristics.

But usually incels are either physically unattractive or socially (very) awkward or a combination of both, making them unable to complete their conquest. Get rejected enough times and they'll tell themselves the problem lies with women in general.

I dunno about femcels, mostly because I've never seen one irl. I imagine they are also physically unattractive and/or socially awkward so they would never be 'targeted' by incel types.

The guys I knew that fit the profile would also not be too keen on personal hygiene, healthy habits like proper food and drink and exercise and they dismissed pretty much anything mainstream society deems positive. Most of what they say or do comes from a negative place. I can imagine girls don't really go for a guy like that, regardless if they are femcels or not.

If you enjoy things, just you wait until you discover stuff

Give it a couple of iterations and it'll just say 'things'

Porkcharsui in the original pc version of Grand Theft Auto. If you named your character this, you had an overlay with coordinates so you could find your way easier, you'd get all the guns and the possibility to toggle a kind of sped up mode.

Oh and howdoiturnthison in Age of Empires 2 to get an AC Cobra with machine guns

Code crackers when Alan Turing showed up

Nice try! Way off

Not a meme though

Not to mention that the games actually worth playing will never receive any meaningful discounts so forget seeing Mario for half price

Yeah I missed the one hand bit because I overestimated how awake I was

Oh I completely read over that part
