I mean, there are some pretty legitimate concerns about employee welfare with Uber. Do the drivers get paid while waiting for customers?

I mean, it’s kind of a tired joke at this point for women to be treated as these complicated, enigmatic creatures when 90% of the communication issues could be solved by, you know, talking to us.

I think it’s just the overwhelming stupidity. The covid stuff I can kinda understand because it was a scary and uncertain time. And maybe, to a point, I had kind of just accepted that the antivax “movement” had gained a twisted sort of legitimacy in some people’s eyes purely because it has been around so long.

But this… this is just beyond dumb. Dollars to donuts these people have been drinking pasteurized milk their entire lives and never had an issue. Missing vitamins? Take a multivitamin and have more than your body knows what to do with. Want probiotics? Eat yogurt!

I also just read that Louisiana might approve milk for pet consumption and that’s just so god damn sad. It’s one thing to spew from both ends due to your own stupidity, but quite another to inflict that stupidity on creatures who have no choice but to rely on you for their health and comfort.

Also if you live in, say, Flint, MI, you have reason not to trust the tap water.

Just realized today that my dog’s food has gone up almost $25 over the past three years

I mean they’re pretty open about wanting to do away with the EPA.

Oh hell yes. I really liked the way AT went with song covers once Sugar left, but I’d love to get a new original song with them back on the project.

Man, I finally read that book a couple months ago. Way more pissing and shitting than I thought there’d be.

Sure, but it’s not the only valid response. It’s perfectly natural to be upset when a relationship falls apart, but it’s just as natural to mutually decide things aren’t working out and move on without grief or regret.

The humor for me is that you kind of expect something like this to end in bitter tears and a sad goodbye, but they’re both actually totally fine with a divorce and even hype each other up for new relationships.

A lot of trans discovery/coming out stories don’t end very happily, so it’s nice to see one that does.

Why should you have to be miserable about it? They still have a relationship, it’s just no longer a romantic one.

Well, it’s a comic, not a documentary. Yeah in real life this would take a lot of discussion and a long time, but this is a comic about how you can find out that your desires no longer align and still be friends.

Oh yes absolutely, there are bots constantly crawling any open source code. A friend of mine accidentally leaked their discord API key, nuked a whole server within minutes.

I kinda like using emoji that are similar to my skintone. Not really making a statement, but somehow it feels a little more “me.” Hard to explain why it matters, it’s not like I won’t use the yellow ones if that’s all they have. Just kinda like “hehe, that’s a lil me in that message.”

What does “a horse leaving the barn” refer to?

He was actually a pretty cool dude.

[Harvey Ball] never applied for a trademark for the iconic smiley image and only earned $45 for his efforts. Ball later founded the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation in 1999, a non-profit charitable trust that supports children’s causes.

It’s bizarre to me, he called himself a terrorist like 3 times in that article, why wasn’t he charged for that?

“To know that I caused so much pain and irreversible damage to someone for no reason other than petty reasons. It’s disheartening to me, to my family,” Garcia said in court. Garcia said he had an online persona that disconnected him from reality.

He’s really sorry though, he had no idea UwU

I definitely agree, but that’s true of any system. The particulars of the pitfalls may vary, but a good system can’t overpower bad management. We mitigate the stakeholder issue by having BAs that act as the liason between devs and stakeholders, knowing just enough about the dev side to manage expectations while helping to prioritize the things stakeholders want most. Our stakes are also, mercifully, pretty aware that they don’t always know what will be complex and what will be trivial, so they accept the effort we assign to items.

Use my desktop for gaming, use my laptop for development and travel. It’s nice to be able to sit in the living room while someone is playing a game, or sit out on the patio while I work on something.
