2·2 days agoHey, you’re like me. I HATED soup for decades. Can soup BS was disgusting. Soup on the side of my burger, gross.
Then I went to a real soup place. Like all they did was soup. Like professional level soup that’s $8 a cup or $12 a bowl.
My god - it was incredible. I now understand the Soup Nazi bit of why anybody would tolerate that behavior.
I went from clean shaven anti-souper to a god damn soup coke fiend.
And also being so confident, you don’t need another man to tell you you’re a big strong masculine man.
4·3 days agoThat’s the challenge with technical advances. It’s not just solving the technical problem, it’s also solving the societal problem.
If you look back into history, Automated elevators was a major panic until people got comfortable with the idea.
If it gets me closer to Half-Life 3, then pipe that shit into my brains
4·3 days agoI thought about starting an extremely niche community and the moment I finish posting, I actually don’t want to deal with commenters/posting regularly/moderating.
Glorify unhealthy relationships
So many to call out, but to keep it lighthearted, Gintama plays abuse for laughs.
It’s a great show btw.
No kidding.
I get excited every time he’s on screen.
I’m a 40 yo man.
I met a guy who would say “pan forward” and “pan it in an angle”.
You folks still say bot? I my company, we say AI.
As an American who does web development, “You guys have multiple languages on your websites?”
I did that with a game I installed and couldn’t figure out how to fix it. So I just uninstalled the game and tried again…

God damn it now I cant unsee it
This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.
As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.
But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there’s 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?
For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.
Just made up numbers.
Of course, don’t get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That’s not the intent here.
Wouldn’t recommend it.
That’s like using your company email.
Ive met a bunch of people who deeply regret sending everything to their university email to have that inbox shut down after a few years. Heck, had a junior hire recently complain that her university email was the primary for her banking, and once it was shut down, she was struggling with trying to reset her password.
Can never trust ISPs with that data.
They’re marketing companies too. And imagine sending critical health emails to a company who wants to also sell you services, and suddenly, you get ads for it.
It can become pretty bad quickly, with just a small project with only 15-20 files. I’ve been using cursor IDE, building out flow charts & tests manually, and just seeing where it goes.
And while incredibly impressive how it’s creating all the steps, it then goes into chaos mode where it will start ignoring all the rules. It’ll start changing tests, start pulling in random libraries, not at all thinking holistically about how everything fits together.
Then you try to reel it in, and it continues to go rampant. And for me, that’s when I either take the wheel or roll back.
I highly recommend every programmer watch it in action.
