I played paintball once and they had a “tag them out” rule. I snuck up on someone and tagged them. Pretty satisfying. Then I got shot with a paintball while standing there smug.

My job had the entire engineering team spend 12 hours in “training” with Microsoft for AI. All they did was show us like some basic GitHub functionality.

Utter waste. Management are a bunch of fucking idiots.

When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020,

Eyeroll. Can already tell this person is an idiot.

Right? Emulators are pretty popular. Piracy is a service problem.

If they released PC ports of Nintendo games I would play a lot of them.

I find teams won’t mark messages as read. Like I’ll be focused on the chat and it’ll stay unread. I have to click out and back into it.

When there’s one of those horrible “teams” things with threads, clicking on a new message on the sidebar shows me just that message. No context. I have to click on the channel and find it.

The core problem is they have “chats” and then some other horrible thing that looks like channels but sucks. Maybe they wanted that to be like a message board? I hate it.

Most of my work uses “chats” instead, but that’s horrible. No discoverability. A thousand permutations of people in chats. One for every meeting. (Was that important message in the standup chat? The planning chat? The side chat with the three competent guys?). And no threads.

Just give me channels with threads.

I think they have incentives to tag broadly but not accurately so they pick up more visitors. Tag it as “anal” when there’s like a glimpse of butt, and you might get more views from people looking for that. There’s no mechanism to punish inaccurate titles and tagging that I know of.

I’m pretty sure they don’t invest in search because it’s a poor return on investment. Most people just hit the first page, crank one out, and leave. The next cohort is similarly easily satisfied with their crap search. The people looking for specifics like “big tit short red hair reverse cowgirl pov outdoors at dusk” aren’t profitable enough to spend engineering time on.

That’s my hypothesis, anyway.

There’s an element of self control to sticking to values. I’ve seen people proclaim like they’re going to boycott EA because of various reasons, but then some shiny new game comes out and those values fall.

Maybe they never really had he values in the first place.

Ew. That is certainly unpopular. Teams can’t even do read/unread notifications

We know he’s a monster and yet we do nothing to stop him. The laws are powerless. Simply shooting him is seen as gauche.

It does feel like the average person has the self control of a toddler.

The megacorp I work for is frothing at the mouth to replace people with AI. Most of leadership doesn’t know anything about programming, but still feel confident to talk about it.

They’re all so stupid it’s frustrating.

I don’t think we should let this guy just walk around. He’s clearly a danger to himself and others.

I mean, I imagine there’s still a window where you can ask for it for free, but you make an interesting point. For many people, it has lowered their cost of food. I’m not sure all of them could have found free food as easily.

Her father said two of the three drinks she was accused of “stealing” were about to be thrown out.

Too many places throw out perfectly good food and that should be a crime.

There’s an app “too good to go” that lets you buy some discounted food at EOD, and there’s probably other similar things out there.

Where I used to work at a supermarket, I made friends with the deli guy and got a lot of food before it was thrown out. Management didn’t like it, of course.

That’s not a general problem with trains that proves they suck. The suck is places have been built out for cars with other modes as after thoughts.

I live somewhere with much better train and bus coverage, and it makes it easier than driving for the vast majority of trips.

The day to day suffering is because of cars. So fuck cars. Fuck the culture that made them primary.

Have you ever been on a train? It sucks, a bus 10000% more, buses fuckin suck so much, I’m sorry for you to hear this in the echo chamber which features ‘fuck cars’.

Have you?

Trains and buses, when funded, are fine. Millions of people take them every day.

I work from home but I used to daily commute by train. Walk to station. Wait a few minutes. Get on. Arrive at destination. I read so many books and finished so many games.

Do you have the same fear about trains?
