The DoorDash approach to sexual reproduction. Fantastic.

It looks like it gives birth to Cybertrucks.

YES. It’s brilliant.

You need to run it with sudo, duh.

The universal problem is that there’s no shared definition of what a downvote represents. Is it “this is spam and should be removed”? “I don’t like this”? “This doesn’t belong here”? “I want to see less of this”? “I disagree”?

That’s not even a Reddit problem - it’s innate to any social media voting apparatus. Extend it to Facebook, even. Does the laugh reaction mean I’m laughing with you or at you?

Most comments and posts I’ve downvoted have been because I accidentally swiped too far right and my upvote changed to the downvote action and I didn’t even notice. So those downvotes don’t even mean anything!

I think the right answer is to stop worrying about votes. Even if they all mean the same thing they’re still meaningless. It’s better to change your post and comment sorting setting than to try to social engineer a way out of it.

I didn’t watch it but my guess is the context is something like “all these groceries got more expensive under Joe Biden!” He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.

"Under the shell on the left, the social programs you need. But along with it, too often you have to buy bloated government, ever-increasing spending, divorced from delivering results. "Under the shell on the right, we're supposed to find fiscal discipline. But along with it, too often there's a mean-spirited approach that blames the most vulnerable for their plight, selfishness masquerading as liberty that happily misdirects government resources to the wealthy, and polices our bodies and our bedrooms."

Holy shit, what a well-phrased criticism of the big 2 parties!

I do that and eventually wake up and go the toilet and spend 2 minutes afraid to go in case I’m still dreaming and about to piss the bed.

I had a Roomba that was cloud connected (when AWS has an outage, it doesn’t work at all).

It still just mindlessly ran various patterns and beeped when it got stuck, which was all the time. Piece of shit.

My beef with YouTube music is that no matter what song I start from, in 4 songs it has turned into Levitating by Dua Lipa.

Children’s songs? Foreign language? Electro swing? Hip hop? Doesn’t matter. Levitating is coming soon.

Fakespot is great at catching these. It’ll give a really low score to products whose reviews don’t appear to have anything to do with the listing.

He did his best, but the attic is really dry.

You have to do the ‘ol’ push ‘n flush and hope you got the timing down.

Turns out your shit sitting exposed on a dry shelf smells exponentially worse than when it drops into water. Anyone still using these toilets in the 21st century is a psychopath.

Especially if they died and taught everyone else to not eat that thing.

It’s basically a mushroom. The hydrants are the fruit of the water network.

They all drive or have drivers, and they don’t care how their underpaid domestic help has to get to their houses to pamper them.

I’ve read that aircraft mechanics were sad when smoking stopped because the nicotine smears on the aircraft were such a good visual clue of where air was leaking and it made theirs jobs a lot easier.

The counsellors are doing exactly what the people of West Van want them to.

When they tried to add a bus lane there were a bunch of NIMBY protestors that made so much noise they crippled the plans and now the rapid bus ends about 200m into West Van.

It’s nice to see a higher government giving them a slap.

You’re just mad Gender Studies didn’t call you for a second interview.

What about Mermaid? https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/gantt.html

It supports Gantt charts and has a pretty nice language for modifying chart content once you get used to it.

I use Obsidian with the Mermaid plugin for offline work, but there are tons of good web-based options out there, too.
