Was cat sitting last summer, and he’d be looking like that establishing eye contact before going nuts scratching up my fancy chair.

Once they see they’ve got your attention it’s already too late. 11/10 - will cat sit again!

Hostile architecture, to prevent people from sleeping on the desk…

Such friendly actions should definitely open for North Korea to purchase a membership to Trump’s “best friends for peace”-club!

Maybe that’s why they’re always apologizing, feeling guilty due to their relationship with units!

Immaculate enunciation.

Week numbers can also vary by country. Not always, but sometimes, as we’re not all in agreement on what constitutes the first week of the year.

Something most people in international organisations and teams get to find out the hard way at least once.

That’s not “the agenda” though, that’s shitty writing, pacing, and presentation. On that I could, at least in some part, be inclined to agree with you.

It’s not the subject matter that’s shit, it’s how they often approach it. I find it’s important to have a clear distinction between the two. It’s hard to critique a poorly made story when it seems like what you’re objecting to is inclusivity and diversity.

If that happens, people are usually quickly reduced to shouting insults, especially online. It’s infuriating to those who feel seen and included, potentially for the first time.

Which agenda is it they’re pushing this time? Inclusivity? Diversity? Permission to pee in the streets?

While I’ll be the first to admit that DISCO and Academy was not for me, it’s more due to it departing from the format and world I enjoyed than anything else. Star Trek has always pushed the envelope when it comes to equality and representation, that’s not new.

Maybe they could put his name on the phenomenon. He does like his name on things. Trump lung?

I’m still on the old micro plastic edition, will this still work, or do I need to upgrade to the nano plastic edition before seeing the benefits?

Sure, let’s get him, FIFA, Putin, and the rest of the Axis of Peace right on it!

Can we finish up with the Epstein files after?

Figurehead is the right way around, the captain is looking backwards though…

Love how they chose Valve specifically. I’d think it’d be better going after the companies making those games rather than a distributor.

Not really gonna discourage the game creators from making loot box mechanics.

Though I will say that I think any and everyone profiting from loot boxes should get fined wherever and whenever possible. I’d just start somewhere more impactful.

Edit: I see I had a proper logical short circuit in my original statement.

I only considered loot boxes as mechanics required for game changing advantages, gear, and loot. Not things like cosmetics.

Last time I played CS it didn’t even have cosmetics, I only played DOTA as a Warcraft 3 mod, and I thought TF2 was limited to hats and sidegrades that could be unblocked through playing and achievements still.

Furthermore, I didn’t stop to consider that people would actually gamble their money away on in game cosmetic items.

That’s on me, not taking the time to consider things properly in the early morning hours.

I’d like to thank the people who pointed out my error, and I’m pleasantly surprised about how civil and to the point everyone was. A nice throwback to how I remember the internet used to be, though I’m probably looking at that with rose tinted goggles too.

Cheers!

Last time I had a proper surge of emotion I got angry that some stranger forcibly pushed me on public transport. I struggle enough standing on public transport with low grade cerebral palsy.

I did not like emotionally responding like that one bit. Spent days trying to figure out why I got so upset by someone acting like an ass. Did not care for it. The idea of wanting to elicit that kind of emotion is just unfathomable to me. I prefer when everything is just kind of muted.

Not the guy you replied to, but I’m both intrigued and horrified by the idea of having emotions working like that. Honestly haven’t even considered it.

Thank you for this, it made me do a full stop and I am left confused.

Can you use multiple tags? Say someone who’s an excellent coder and an arsehat, do they get both or does one have to win out? Alternatively do you make a new tag for them? Excellent arsehat?

I’m honestly curious, I’m haunted by people using too many, too varied, and too generic tags in DevOps and am doing anything to find a way to remedy it.

Or Heyerdahl… Definitely a Christopher though!

Scarecrow coming in here and stealing the farmers award. And field. What’s next?

Honestly, how can they expect you not to hug it. Just look at the ears!

I love that sentiment. I feel learning about things I don’t have any familiarity with, be it cultural, historical, physical, or anything else really helps me understand and empathise better.
