Am definitely human.
I have commented stuff like this before, and gotten it deleted (or gotten summarily banned). I have been searching for spaces where this sort of discourse is even allowed, where non-vagina-havers get to say that many men suck but it’s not only their fault and they certainly can’t fix it in a vacuum.
What mates you think I was overkill to replace a ceo?
🙂 Thank you for bringing up a fun memory.
She poly bombed me, came out as narcissist, and made derogatory remarks about me making a solid effort to understand poly and maintain our marriage.
Now, she’s still extremely mad at me, still very much acting like a narcissist would, and I’m the one in a harmonious poly relationship.
It’s hella tough, making a split family work when she absolutely refuses to communicate directly with me. My poor kids are stuck in the middle of this mess which will likely never mend.
But apparently that’s better than giving me just a couple of weeks to get to grips with her desires. It’s hard to forgive.
HyperCard! There’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. It was marvellous, for its time.
I’m appalled to see it compared to some shitty MS product (that I have no knowledge of), and I’ll just add that I have never encountered our hard of this bonkers “previous page is still active” issue in HyperCard - but I readily believe it’s there in 365.
My sincere apologies, Mexico is definitely on the good list.
Leave me be, I’m agnostic. Bother me with religious nonsense and see the atheist come out and ruin your day.
…and simply agrees to never, ever, set foot in North America.
I’m in.
Not sure, though, how this ploy would work out for our fine fellows in South America, Mexico, and Canada, the ones currently belabored with being the closest neighbours to The Wastelands.
Check the capacitors anyway please.
Eh, 80% of what this Dan fellow provides can’t be all that much…
What kind of comms do the wires allow? Sending guidance and simultaneously receiving video?
What was the physicality of wires back then (and do you know what they are today)? Would it feel like walking into a spider’s web, or how sturdy were/are those wires?
How often would a write break, and would that mean total loss of control or is there some form of fall-back?
Curious minds want to know! Thank you.
Imagine walking into a spider’s web, and you couldn’t just wipe it off your face.
It’s a minor concern when a nation’s existence is on the line, but I do wonder how all those wires will affect the fauna and environment.
Curiously, the first wired torpedoes, you’d propel the torpedo forward by pulling on the wire that came out the back of it.
Precrime wioll haven be here.
Perhaps this is all just highly refined British humour?
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy skips lightly over this tangle of academic abstraction, pausing only to note that the term “Future Perfect” has been abandoned since it was discovered not to be.
It would be hilarious to see random civilians being casually followed by a policeman (policeperson?), overtly and cheerfully “nah mate, you haven’t done a thing. I’m just here to watch. For now. Carry on.”
Reluctant upvote
Really, you’ll get proficient in no time. The trick is to go all in with touch typing, no hint and peck!
When I was in my late 20s I spent one low-activity work week transitioning to Dvorak. I have used it for 20+ years now (although it’s a bitch to get working on subpar OS’es).
You can maintain both skills, but I chose to let my qwerty skills fade - now I only use it on mobile (because, I loathe typing on glass and so swipe whenever I can - and swiping is hilariously useless with Dvorak because it’s so well laid out).
I’m not sure if I posted this, but I figured out they have seeing 50k users, and 1:10 gender ratio - although that doesn’t say how many are real people.
My father, who worked for a huge computer manufacturer, was once approached by two young dudes asking for a server for their new startup. He listened to their proposition but couldn’t see how they were going to stay in business, so he turned them down and they went elsewhere for their hardware.
This was the two founders of Skype, Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström, some 20 years ago.
That was one of Law’s finer appearances, oddly.
flicks neck, music starts playing
That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn’t a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.
What really brings me down it’s the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?
