ChickenLadyLovesLife, to comicstrips in Drinking in your 20s vs 30s [Sarah Anderson]

I got to the point with weed where the first bowl of the day made me feel great with the standard high, second bowl was meh and after the third bowl I just had tremendously negative and stressful thought patterns all the time. It didn’t help that this was all before 7 AM.

comments are for explaining why you did things a certain way

A while back I spent more than a year modifying my company’s iOS apps so that they would work properly with VoiceOver (Apple’s screen reader technology for blind people) and be compliant with FCC regulations for accessibility (and save us from $1 million per month fines lol). The thing about VoiceOver is that it’s bizarrely buggy (or was - maybe they’ve fixed the problems since then) and even when I didn’t run into VO bugs, the way that developers tended to architect these apps often made getting them to behave properly with VoiceOver extremely difficult.

I often had to resort to very strange hacks in order to get things to work, and I would always leave comments explaining what I had done for this. My manager was one of the new breed who not only thought comments were unnecessary in ALL cases but also thought comments were a “code smell” and indicative of professional incompetence on the part of anyone who used them. Whenever he reviewed my code, he would leave in the hacks (after trying and failing to fix the problems without them) but remove my comments. This resulted in many cases later of developers contacting me to ask me why some bizarre bit of code was in the app in the first place. I always referred them to my manager with an NMP (Not My Problem any more).

ChickenLadyLovesLife, to memes in $1 grilled cheese

TBF food trucks are insanely expensive (like, $80K+ expensive) so I don’t really blame owners for charging whatever people will pay. I’m just amazed people pay that much.

When people say “no pun intended”, I like to say “none taken”.

I always leave my feet sticking out, and without socks. My cold feet make the rest of me even cozier by comparison.

Excuse me? That was a George Carlin joke I stole.

Fun bio fact: there’s also an extinct plant named https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteris thought for some time to be the world’s first tree.

ChickenLadyLovesLife, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

A real keyboard

One thing I always liked about Blackberries aside from the physical keyboard was the scroll wheel. People joke about them but they worked really well and smoothly (before the actual ball got replaced with a bullshit push sensor round about 2009 or so) and you could dial in on a specific pixel easily - something you just can’t do with a touchscreen - which made the tiny screens a lot more practical than they otherwise would have been.

It almost made up for the 16-bit color lol.

My parents met because of a convention my dad organized for a show that was off the air for a few years at that point.

ChickenLadyLovesLife, to memes in Time is cruel

I really hate saying “turn of the century” and having to specify which century.

ChickenLadyLovesLife, to comicstrips in He appreciates them!

I call my cat “muffin sweetie” when I think nobody is listening. Sometimes people are listening, though.

I should have added that he would also be wearing crocs and half-calf white socks.
