tdawg,

How does everyone feel about the “isolation” of information exchange? Specifically with systems like discord which encourage you to congregate behind a wall? Historically things like community forums were open to the public and thus indexable.

tdawg,

The day I got signed on for 120k was the day all my financial anxieties went away. I’m not rich by any means. My rent is still stupid high. My bills never stop coming in. But I can finally afford furniture. I can finally afford to visit my family when I want to. I don’t worry about min-maxing at the grocery store. I’m not “happy” but it’s the closest I’ve ever been

tdawg,

How the fuck do you come to the conclusion that you’re spending too much money on education

tdawg,

You missed the part where you zone out and replay arguments you had years ago. But this time you’re smarter and always win

tdawg,

Honestly everything pre-covid feels like a different lifetime. Like the universe asked us to insert disk 2 or something

tdawg,

You’re confusing sex with gender

tdawg,

Some people push it like that, but that’s not really what the observation is about. It’s meant to highlight that it’s not preordained. Life is mostly made up and we should learn to acknowledge that openly. Especially when aspects of that made-up-ness actively oppress people

tdawg,

I guinely hate windows as a product. But man XP was a banger for it’s time

tdawg,

What idiot thinks anyone wants “stuff for free.” What the fuck do you think taxes are? We aren’t expecting people to shit houses out of their asses. We’re expecting our government WHICH WE PAY to provide us with basic dignity

tdawg,

They’re both countibly infinite thus the same, no?

tdawg,

The best part was the color coding. You’d crawl back there and hook it up and your grandparents would look at you like you were a wizard

tdawg,

Such an underrated feature

tdawg,

Am I stupid. Most Linux users I know are more paranoid about tech than anyone else

tdawg,

An old coworker (and now good friend) once opened our very first conversation about how their paper in uni was a meta-analysis of how the universe might be simulated by a machine. They sent me the paper fully expecting me to read it… It’s been five years now and I haven’t gotten past the fifth page

tdawg,

Thinking about that time I comped a cute girl’s meal (she forgot her card and I had a line to the door). She came back after closing hours and knocked on the door. She was really greatful for me covering her meal and wanted to pay me back. I told her it was okay and then locked the door (without a further thought). She then stood there for a bit before leaving… Later a coworker came over and was like “dude, I think she wanted you to ask for her number.” You could hear the gears turning in my head after that

Funny enough English does this all the time:

  • That’s food.
  • That’s food!
  • That’s food?
  • That’s food?!
  • That’s food…

All have different intonations and punctuation but are otherwise the same. Internet lingo does compensate for this somewhat but at least in “proper” form the above holds true for all kinds of situations

tdawg,

Y’all burnt. Hope life treats you better soon

tdawg,

If it makes you feel any better getting older means you learn to see these things coming from a mile away. The best games are (generally) the ones you learn about from word of mouth

tdawg,

Part of critical reading is collecting more sources, not less. You’ll have to read differing opinions and make up your own mind

tdawg,

My favorite is when I shut it down and then it reboots into Ubuntu bc that’s my default in grub

tdawg,

Moving on starts at the block button

tdawg,

It should be legal on a national level to film any and all public service workers (while on the job)

tdawg, (edited )

Great question! If it’s illegal to film a public servant then it is illegal to verify they are actually serving the public’s best interest. In particular if you catch a public servant performing amoral or otherwise corrupt behaviour there is no way to publicaly verify that. Further without explicit legal protections for things then it is easier for that action to be banned or otherwise made illegal. No protection is no protection. A corrupt public servant has a vested interest in misinterpreting law in order to prevent you from exposing them. Which is why Oklahoma’s ban on filming police is still bad even though it is framed under the guise of protecting police from harassment

tdawg,

honesty I’d much rather people just be honest about not wanting to hang then be surrounded by flakes
