Thanks! Yeah, for me it’s that I have a bad memory so memorizing argument orders and things like that felt painful. Scripting is the solution! And you learn while you do it. It’s actually kind of fun to make a solid script that works between various OSes as nerdy as that is. I’ve taken a lot of typing and memorization and turned it into writing (ideally solid) software that allows me to type 1-3 words instead of 20 words. It’s satisfying. And you’re right, it’s something people won’t get until they come to it on their own terms.
At work I routinely do laborious tasks the rest of my team procrastinates due to how repetitive and annoying it is. And often it’s with a command or two. It feels quite powerful. And it’s so flexible how you can combine languages and tools! It’s also just interesting to be reminded how all the basic problems were solved by the 1970s when a lot of these tools were created.
I used to be on the yelling guys side and boy was I wrong. I now write scripts to do anything repetitive, all the time and it’s great. I have a whole library of them I use and add to and improve all the time.
Yeah, I was wrong.
I have a Gen alpha niece. One time a couple years ago she was gleefully ripping up grass and I mildly scolded her and said she shouldn’t do that. She asked why not. I said because if everyone did that, there wouldn’t be any grass. She genuinely seemed baffled by that concept and thought it was idiotic. I’m pretty sure that was thoroughly pounded into my head by age 5. She has an awful mother and my brother is a meh parent but still. I’ve gotten the strong sense she just doesn’t have much empathy for others. Maybe it is partially generational?
They would gas and auto machine gun us down Tiannenman-square style in cold blood. Starting with minorities. They already gave up power once and don’t seem keen to do so again. Trump said he made a mistake by leaving office. It’s fucking terrifying.
I don’t understand this post. OP mad the free support not up to their standards?
I despise discord from a user interface and business practice perspective. What a piece of shit
Fuck discord and fuck reddit.
What in the hell is this shit?
Thanks. I appreciate your perspective. So other context on this friend – they kept wanting to talk about “dei hires” a couple years ago. I tried to be patient and help them with that toxic thinking but I made no progress. They were convinced they lost their job to a “dei hire”
Obviously they are a shitbag for betraying their insincere beliefs and propping up Elon. Not as obvious, it’s because they want a status symbol. I kinda stopped talking to the idiot after he wouldn’t stop bragging about that Swasticar.
The schadenfreude on this one is the only good thing for a while. I have an idiot friend who was preaching leftist philosophy to me a few years ago, but who also bought a Tesla right before Christmas. He’s a shitbag.
It is certainly both. I can’t imagine a trump supporter having a fully healthy relationship with a female partner
I thought that was already true
Haha someone smoked a joint
Yikes man… This is my daily thought
Lol yes of course. At this point posting that is very akin to blaming me for how society exists in its current form, like that famous cartoon. “Curious, you participate in society yet disagree with it”
I have built my life around avoiding driving in the years since this incident for a million reasons, so you’re preaching to the choir.
