Add in some sour cream and I’m absolutely in agreement.

Streetlight Manifesto - Here’s to Life

Hemingway never seemed to mind
The banalities of a normal life
And I find
It get’s harder every time

So he aimed the shotgun into the blue
Placed his face in between the two and sighed:
“Here’s to life”

Well fuck. Looks like you’re right. Latin -> Spanish -> French and ended up as a slur in English. I guess I could have figured that out on my own knowing Spanish. I guess I just never really cared to know the origin of the word. Gotta go catch a crow now for dinner. Better than the microwave dinner I was gonna have I guess.

Arch?

I’m a web developer by trade, but I say “the Internet was a mistake” all the time. It pays my bills, but mass adoption and social media have done horrible things to the minds of people. And yes, I realize the irony of posting to social media about this lol.

My unpopular opinion: as I am a huge Zelda fan, I really did not like botw and won’t play the new one. They fundamentally changed the entire things that made the game fun for me. Some things are kinda cool like the abilities but the weapon system is frustrating, leads to the same problems that other RPGs have like item hoarding.

I would disagree. There are words that were created solely for hateful reasons. I don’t think the N word existed prior to its use as a hateful slur. I’ll eat crow if I’m wrong though.

That video was amazing and I’m glad they’re getting tons of views and recognition for it. They introduced me to my favorite game, Blood on the Clocktower. I’ll throw that playlist on and fall asleep to it all the time.

Tom Scott does great stuff, and I found him through Computerphile years ago.

If you like board games, check out No Rolls Barred.

Veritasium and Smarter Every Day are good educational channels about science. Nile Red too.

I can give more if any of these are hitting for you.

Fucking cold lol

I take lamotrigine for bipolar disorder. Had to watch for this every time I restart (gotta love that bipolar decision that you’re fine and stop taking your meds).

Judith Barsi was a child voice actress who played Ducky in The Land Before Time. She died in a murder suicide perpetrated by her father.

Fell asleep waiting on a delayed red eye flight to LA. No one bothered to wake me for 3 hours… Sitting at the gate for a 5am flight that was delayed 2 hours and change.

It’s my fault, but someone could have woken me I feel like when they started calling for the boarding.

You know what, you’re right. I didn’t think of that. Was thinking maybe you could drain the oil via gravity, but that wouldn’t work very well.

I mean, maybe they deep fry chicken but don’t have a basket? That’s like the only option that makes this almost seem reasonable.

Nah. I’m not happy with Nazis existing. I’m not going to apologize for shitting on someone who literally made an argument against anti Nazism. But keep trying bud. Maybe one day the proud boys will accept you if you just keep trying.

I don’t give good faith to literal Nazis. Like come on. Oh no, not being allowed to be a Nazi is an attack on my free speech. Fuck off with that bullshit.

When I was fixing up a legacy API app at an old job, I realized they did exactly that. I cleared it with my boss and started fixing up our error codes - pretty much all 401, 403, and 422. This blew up an integration with another app that literally threw exceptions on those codes rather than handling them. I died inside as it was my first software dev job. My first rollback of a change as well.

At first glance you sound like a Nazi

This used to happen on Reddit all the time. It’s a matter of error handling correctly, either on the Lemmy instance itself, or the app you’re using to interact with it. This is a growing pain that will hopefully sorted out in the future.
