Jean-Luc Picard is entirely too classy to snore.

I think you’re misunderstanding octopus_ink’s comment. Are you thinking octopus_ink is a 4chan refugee? I think they’re just a Lemmy user hoping we don’t get flooded with 4chan assholes.

Whoever created YAML apparently thought Excel was a masterpiece of software design.

Damn. You’re tempting me to make a novelty language.

Someone woke up this morning and chose violence.

I’m not sure I’ve ever tried to do any write operations. I’m honestly not even sure the service behind that login page offers any write operations. I might have to check sometime. I’m curious.

Where I work, the infra folks are way overworked. Getting them to do things is impossible given their existing todo list. And when you do get them to do something (by throwing managers at them) they half-ass it.

(I’m not blaming them. I blame the managers. It is frustrating though. Anyway.)

And as a result, there’s one system that I use frequently that they set up, but cut corners and never hooked it up to our single sign-on solution. And so in order to get into this system, everyone has to use a shared username/password. “readonly:readonly”. And every time I log in, my browser nags me about the known weak password.

Yup, use docstrings and be descriptive. Learn by reading docstrings in other codebases. (Django’s codebase is always an excellent example of how to do Python, including how to do docstrings.) a) Anyone who sees your code will thank you and b) if you can’t explain it in human language, you probably don’t understand it well enough to implement it well.

Yeah, but… The Matrix, though.

I’m one of those weirdos who didn’t think two and three were terrible. They didn’t live up to the original, but I didn’t think they completely ruined it.

But four. I can’t watch the first one any more without thinking about how Neo isn’t even “The One” by canon.

And I think The Wachowskis specifically intended to retroactively ruin the other three with Resurrections. (I know Lilly wasn’t so involved with Resurrections, but I doubt Lana would have gone way against Lilly’s wishes on it.) The whole movie felt like a cry of “fuck this, I don’t want to be making this, so I’m going to make it the absolutely worst abomination ever.”

(And there’s another one coming. 😬 )

Movies (and other fiction) largely work by setting up expectations and then building/working off of/subverting/whatever those expectations. When you fuck with those expectations in later films, it can make the earlier films no longer “work”.

I don’t disagree with you regarding Indiana Jones. The last two don’t ruin the first three. But the execution makes a big difference in terms of whether sequels retroactively ruin earlier films.

But… don’t they though?

This really isn’t the right community for this post.

Probably if you’re too lazy to grab a cord, line it up with the plug, and press gently but firmly. With wireless, you can just lob it vaguely in the right vicinity and not overstrain your fine motor skills.

OP is like the new Don_Dickle, only more so.

what if you don’t have kids?

That’s why I said “at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for” rather than “exactly what you want.” The “Good Enough Parenting” thing is more focused on raising kids. Beyond that, I’m not sure I can help.

Winnocott’s term “Good Enough Parenting” may be at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for.

I suppose other options could be along the lines of “read these 30 dense psychology books or get a degree in psychology.”

Unfortunately, I don’t think I have much better answers for you, but I’d be interested to hear a succinct answer to this too.

That’s awesome! Welcome to the club and don’t be afraid to explore your system and ask questions!

First off, be careful. Make sure you aren’t putting yourself in danger. Don’t talk to them. Talk to someone who can do something to protect you. HR if it’s a work thing or the police if it rises to that level. If in doubt, err on the side of caution. If something like HR or police aren’t an option, ghost them.

I hesitate to even go on. So let me reiterate. Aggressiveness is the kind of red flag you don’t want to take lightly.

All that said, if none of the above helps; if you’re talking about something other than fear for your personal safety (and again, please don’t let denial blind you here), then: don’t talk about their behavior. Talk about how you feel. Say that you feel nervous/on edge/scared when they behave in whatever way you’re alluding to.

Why do people say more people didn’t vote for Trump than did?

Because more people didn’t vote for Trump than did.

Trump got more of the popular vote in the U.S. in 2024 than any other candidate did, but he still didn’t get 50% of the vote. He got like 49.80% of the popular vote. And that isn’t even considering those who didn’t vote.

Don’t you agree that the statement this “question” is rhetorically making is false?

“Is a question?” is a question?
