I’ve seen a lot of Nirvana tshirts lately. Did they do a sale at … Wherever teenagers get clothing now?

I don’t find “lol 5% of the time something WACKY happens!” very fun very long, no. That is too high a frequency for freak events. Actually, it’s 10% because people do wackiness on natural 1s and natural 20s. That’s too much! That’s so much it’s distracting.

I outlined the dice system I liked from nWoD in another comment. You can get some wild outcomes there, but it’s not the absurd flat “10% of every roll is insanely good or bad”. You get the occasional “I can’t believe I rolled three tens convinced the vampire I was a wizard!”, still.

Not a fan of the “lol natural 20 zaniness happens” trope. That’s 5% of the time.

Also Shadowrun doesn’t even use d20s

I did some webdriver stuff for reasons I don’t remember anymore.

I also made a simple Django app to track job applications.

Unsolicited advice:

• use type annotations. You’ll thank yourself later when your IDE tells you “hey this can be None are you sure you want to call .some_func() on it?”
• use an ide. Don’t just raw dog it in notepad. You should have syntax highlighting, red squiggles for errors, the ability to go to definition.
• learn to use a debugger. Pdb is built in and fine.
• don’t write mega functions that do a thousand things. Split things up into smaller steps.
• avoid side effects. You don’t want your “say_hello” function to also turn on the lights

Among self-identified MAGA voters, 54 percent said they believe Trump’s deportation efforts are “about right,” while 28 percent said they were “not aggressive enough.”

The worst people on earth.

He’s a horrible person who should be removed from power, and any wealth seized so it can be used to making some small amends for his actions.

There’s also the class of comments that explain strange business decisions.

# Product guy said to return January 1st if the user doesn't have a birthday on record

Kind of arbitrary but someone with decision making power decreed it.

One of my old jobs, one of the leads declared that if you suggested “why don’t you just” then you were immediately responsible for the task.

“Why don’t you just rewrite it in Java?”

“Let us know how that goes”

…Silence…

Recall is one of the reasons I switched to Linux. It’s been fine. (Pop!_os). Plays all the video games I care to, runs a web browser.

I feel like removal from office is not enough. He’d just go be a talking head and live a life of luxury. He needs criminal charges and punishment.

I remember when the internet was new, I’d make friends with random people I’d “meet”. Like, I’d play Diablo with some rando on battle.net and then we’d stay in touch. Now it seems more ephemeral. Maybe it’s just because I’m older.

Republicans value in-group loyalty more than anything else. That usually is part of conservatism.

There was a meme the other day that was text over a screenshot of final fantasy tactics. It was like

Trans person: “are you helping us because they’ll come after you next?”

Protagonist: “I’m helping you because they’re coming after you now”

I liked that one.

The average transaction price for a new car now sits around $50,000.

I could ride a NYC subway or bus 16,666 times for that, assuming I never do more than 12 rides in a week to trip the “rest of the week is free” condition.

“Make cars cheaper” is a stupid solution that won’t scale well. Cars do tremendous damage to the environment and our society. But I expect everyone subscribed to “Fuck Cars” already knows that.

People who pollute the earth should have to fix the damage they do. Failing that, they should pay heavy fines.

I want job postings and a way to reach people I worked with.

I absolutely do not want the click bait and slop.

Cars ruin everything. The primacy of cars is upstream from a surprising amount of problems with modern life.

Unsure if my Text really makes sense tho as its a bunch of Weird Nonsense im typing out as i suck at expressing myself via Text but maybe someone can relate? >.<

Line breaks between paragraphs help. Emojis don’t. Writing is a skill you can practice, so don’t give up.

To your point, maybe you’re just getting older? There’s always been a small number of breakouts and a bunch of clones and shovel-ware. When you’re a kid, things are new and unlimited in their potential. As you get older, you realize that the game world is limited

Mistrust and anger with the federal government appears to have contributed to a willingness of some of the jurors to nullify, meaning they refused to side with prosecutors to send a larger message, people familiar with the jury’s deliberations told CNN.

Good. Nullify everything these assholes do.

That would be even more depressing, somehow.

“National health care passes - Cancer, depression, and bankruptcy rates plummet”

Honestly, I’d accept Trump taking all the credit and putting his ugly face on every hospital if it meant good service
