  • All work is now making sprawling design docs down to the granular atomic implementation detail and when something happens that means such a design doesnt work which is all the time because you cant fucking spend months designing a system without testing ONE SINGLE ASPECT OF IT and somehow expect it all to line up with your copiloted hallucinations, then everyone just stares blankly into space.

    lol.

    I can picture the blank stares so vividly.



















  • I love assigning self-crit like homework, it’s just abusing “leftist” parlance to say “I’m correct and you should be ashamed of yourself.” “Honestly,” fuck off with that

    You’ve objectively been unable to have a calm discussion about this.

    When someone tells you they have had trouble with substance abuse and you don’t know how bad it was you shouldn’t respond under the assumption that it was borderline trivial and has no emotional valence. That’s what I’m saying.

    And what I am saying is that to expect this on Hexbear is misguided UNLESS one clarifies their seriousness.

    Do people come here for seriousness? Sure. Do people come here to throw around emojis? Yes.

    Both are forms of community. Someone got them mixed up. Big whoop.


  • i agree that that’s not the main point of the comment, the main point is that overuse in general is bad,

    Thank you for acknolwedging that.

    but my point isn’t what the thesis of the comment is (that’s an arbitrary goalpost), it’s that you are being given information about this person’s background that that, by itself, is enough to tell you that you shouldn’t address the subject flippantly to them in response to that very comment.

    I disagree. The information given isn’t clear. People talk like this all the time without having experienced–as it turns out was the case–a rough life-altering addiction.

    It could’ve been said by someone referring to how they experienced binge drinking too much one semester away at college, but caught the issue and corrected it before their life was seriously affected. They probabaly wouldnt have minded the response. It just wasn’t clear until the guy’s follow up post.

    Honestly, you should do a bit of self-crit and ask yourself why you communciated with ME in the manner you have.
