Thought the last frame was going to be pouring the hot oil on the landlord. I guess this is fine, too.

“Please run the formatter so the checks pass on the PR” is a perfectly fine and polite statement. Some people act like they’re being attacked.

or they think I’m challenging them in some way

Admittedly, there is a bit of

Them: “It works”

Me: “I don’t believe you. Prove it”

that people might not like. But usually the people who take the most offense are the worst coders.

I don’t understand why people dislike tests. They don’t take that long and you need to check things anyway.

Well, I say that, and then I think of my coworkers that don’t write tests and also push up code with syntax errors. Code that they clearly never even ran themselves.

I realized the other day that I don’t have a solid count. A friend of mine revealed they have a document with a line item for everyone they’ve slept with and a brief summary.

I’d guess it could reasonably round to 100, though.

It helps that I’m absolutely not a picky eater. Rice. Beans. Whatever random spices speak to me. Done. Content.

A DM running a traditional game of D&D?

Probably. They could have used their wealth for anything but they’re like dragons. Do you mourn for dragons in stories of knights slaying them?

I enjoy many social interactions.

Went to a concert this weekend. Chatted with the person running the merch table. Briefly chatted with a rando at the bar. Was nice.

Went to a party this weekend. Had a nice chat with some people I’d met before. Maybe came on kind of strong to the socialists in one conversation, but it was fun.

Lemmy probably isn’t going to get you a representative sample of people.

This is true but you have to remember that management is stupid. Stupid and cruel, but mostly stupid.

If we know when and where he’s going to be, which a bunch of other assholes…

This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.

I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.

They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I’d keep working on stuff. But they’d rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.

Read more books. Read different kinds of books. Not slop on the Internet.

This prose you’ve posted feels a bit purple and forced. I personally find all the comma separated clauses excessive, but some styles do that.

Are you still in school? Take creative writing courses. They’re fun and you get feedback from peers and the (hopefully) professional teacher.

I never see characters in games as “me”. I try to make someone hot or wacky. Often that’s a buff lady. Sometimes it’s “the biggest beard and hair I can get”.

With dial up, it felt like it was working. It was trying its best.

Now it feels like it’s bogged down with ads and tracking and bots.

People don’t think too good when they’re emotional, so this would be very effective.

Most of the people I know who live here don’t have rich parents. But I’ve definitely known people from money who move here, and go directly to an expensive apartment.

It’s a horrible policy that people stop paying social security tax at like $200k or something. That’s backwards. The first $50k or so should be untaxed, and it should ramp up from there.

This is an important point. There’s a big difference between guys with guns telling you what you can say, and a local get-together. Sometimes people act like they should be able to say whatever they want wherever they want, even if they’re like standing in someone else’s house

I vote in every election. New York has ranked choice for some things now, which is nice. The way judges are picked is pretty bad, though.
