but how did they die? and what about your aunt?

idgaf about superhero movies normally but imho the next Joker should be orange

it’s a complex ritual asserting

• power: he won’t smack you but the length of the microphone means it would hurt
• dominance: he’s always holding the microphone up,
• influence: the cord connects him all the way back to the production team and if he whips it they will dance

also, he ain’t give a f https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py805hYfopw

ow worse. you’ve been waiting for years to be able to finally get rid of the legacy circle logic that keeps you pinned on old versions of everything. you got the confirmation from the PM.

you explained to them carefully and patiently how much the spread over many shapes is slowing you down, and you also acknowledged that you can keep doing that, or you could invest a bit into architectural changes that would make it more bearable, and you got the response: i understand, it’s not worth it, let’s finally have balls and deprecate the circles once and forever.

so with the feeling of wind in your back, you clean up your abstractions, simplify your logic, streamline your pipelines. and you finally get around to implementing some of the features that were just too hard to do safely with the obsolete pieces in place.

and then… you see another fucking circle again and then you just die inside.

neither but I had a colleague with an annoying habit of being disgruntled about “the news about us moving to circles now”, even though all he saw was just one circle and there was obviously still more triangles than circles, and the last item would still be a triangle.

you seem to be pretty defensive about nothing (imaginary blame) all over this thread.

i hope you are ok.

swing around the top

i don’t think it’s physically possible but as a kid, the idea of that scared the shit out of me. we used to swing each other with my friend and once swung me “too hard” and i started crying and become a bit more suspicious of him. (ofc he did not mean bad and he immediately stopped, he was (still is! although we’ve departed cos my family had to move) a great guy, although he might not fully understand why i’m so scared of something that’s actually so much fun)

i had many of such fears. of things that would be physically impossible but i saw them somewhere in a cartoon or someone say a joke and suddenly i realized that while it was probably a joke I don’t know that it can’t be possible to some extent

people think that to be a nerd is a choice, but sometimes it’s the only way to stay sane.

true but not sure how relevant. it’s not like we can choose between encryption and being wealthy beyond all necessity. (or is there some hidden about:config setting?)

idk but his son wanting his “departure” is not the flex he thinks it is.

my brain went to “and suddenly it turns out the man is not a man but a bunny”, now i’m disappointed
