I'm 35. You'd better believe I'd get more than 1k if I lost my hand at work. Why are you and others like you harping on him being "almost 18"? So fucking what?
... I mean... I went to a four year university and got a Batchelors. Now I work as a software engineer. How's that different from any other career path involving a 4 year degree?
Gene Wolfe: We're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity's salvation will come from traversing complex, labyrinthine narratives and deciphering symbolic, metaphysical riddles we haven't begun to understand yet.
Arthur C. Clarke: We're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity's salvation will come from encountering benevolent alien intelligence we haven't discovered yet.
Ray Bradbury: We're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity's salvation will come from rediscovering the beauty of books and humanity's inherent capacity for empathy in a world we're rapidly forgetting.
Robert A. Heinlein: We're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity's salvation will come from pioneering individualism, libertarianism, and multi-planetary colonies we haven't established yet.
William Gibson: We're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity's salvation will come from navigating and subverting the interplay of high technology and low life in a cybernetic reality we're only beginning to understand.
Ursula K. Le Guin: We're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity's salvation will come from understanding and integrating a spectrum of social, psychological, and cultural perspectives we haven't fully considered yet.

Octavia Butler: We're headed for some bleak imperialist nonsense, but humanity's salvation will come from embracing and adapting to change through the lens of bio-diversity and sociocultural evolution we haven't fully embraced yet.
Ok, so what's everyone's honest opinion about the app? I've used it once or twice before switching to rif and never used anything else. My wife has been using the official app and says it's "fine". I switched to lemmy after the API fiasco, so I really have no idea how it functions these days. Is it really that dogshit or are people like me just mad?
I don't mean to be contrary, but is it fair to call programming niche when there are degree programs and tech programs (bootcamps) that are widely available? Plus, in some cases, you don't need a degree or certificates, just a portfolio.
My grandma said some dumb shit like this to my mom over Facebook. When she asked me why I wasnt coming over for Thanksgiving I told her, and she responds with something along the line of "it was a joke", "it was online", "it wasn't real", etc.
I said grandma, you called my mom a lazy bitch, I ain't talking to you until you apologize. She (on facebook) called me a spoiled millennial piece of shit. 🤷
You're getting down voted to hell, but I totally agree. Using someones else's YT account or using it at work is so jarring because I am used to a 100% ad-free experience. It's a good value to me, I'm not going to cry about paying $15 a month for a service I literally use multiple hours a day.
Those ads are the point of their business model. They show you ads, and repay you with tokens. You can gift those tokens to content creators or sell them on the market.
Weren't there a few panels before this where he tries to download/pay for it legally first? The point of the comic being that the guy was trying to do it legit but these companies made it so hard that this guy decided to pirate like in the good old days?
The crows outside remind me of Itachi's crows. I wonder if they're watching me. Do they carry messages from the Uchiha clan?

I tried to walk on water today, like Naruto and the others. Just ended up with wet socks and a bruised ego.

Every time I close my eyes, I'm in the Hidden Leaf Village. But every morning, I wake up in this mundane room.

Mom bought me a new headband, but it's not from the Hidden Leaf. It's from the Hidden Sand. I'm conflicted.

I whispered "Sharingan" to my cat today, hoping it'd gain the power. Instead, it just looked at me with disdain.

My pencil broke during the math test. I wish I could summon a shadow clone to do my homework.

If only the school bus was like one of the summoned toads. I'd never be late again.
