Yay more hype. Just what we needed more of, it’s hype, at last

I don’t know why there’s so much hate for Vim. It’s simple- just use it as your default text editor since you first started using computers, and keep using it forever, and problem solved!

Friday afternoons are best for this

What about Protagonist bangs his ex-girlfriend but actually it’s a cosmic Eldrich monster who’s feeding him illusions and when the illusions fracture he sees the monster’s true form and is horrified so she wipes his mind and replays the loop so he can bang her again as if it’s the first time but it’s actually been happening for decades because he’s her only living plaything and without him around she may be alone again for hundreds if not thousands of years?

Was it apple? I just heard about them last week but they seem expensive

Whole olives are the controversialist part

Imagine a boot SO mighty that if it exists it might crush you, so you need to lick it ahead of time so that someday if it does exist, it might not crush you.

The firm is piloting a new model where remote workers, such as students or people in rural areas, can log in and provide service on-demand, “in an Uber type of setup.” Currently, two agents are part of the trial.

Two. They hired two people into a shitty “Uber-like” role, patted themselves on the back, and made headlines. Seriously, fuck this company

If the company never sees the employee, exactly how do they know the employee is resident in Canada?

If you have a competent HR department, this isn’t an issue. And if you have a competent managerial team, this also isn’t an issue.

Corporations don’t care about people.

These selfish quislings are far too comfortable with the idea of taking away the rights of others.

“South of the border, Americans have maintained their right to bear arms, have found recourse in the courts for the COVID violations against business and churches, and are much more encouraging of the free market. Meanwhile, our homeland is being flooded with immigrants.”

Does this man only speak in dog whistles?

If it’s not working well without threats of violence, perhaps that’s because it simply doesn’t work well?

Which one of these symbols is Bash? If none, does that mean I’m not a nerd?

This man lives in a bubble

Whereabouts might count as Boreal Forest? These have been out in my neck o’ the woods for weeks and weeks

1. The Earth itself doesn’t have to be hanging in the balance. Smaller plots are just fine.

2. I don’t need a month-long plot broken into 2hrs; I’d really rather have a more limited duration being represented.

More on that point: I recently watched the Director’s Cut of Napoleon, and found myself wishing it didn’t have such a “biopic” feel, where 20 years of events was condensed down to 3.5hrs. Quite frankly I’d rather have a vibe more like “The Raid: Redemption” where it doesn’t have to be Real Time, but closer to that serves a better narrative.

I keep thinking back to Rogue One, at the end of Act 2 where our Team Of Heroes has been assembled and they’re traveling towards the epic showdown that is Act 3. They’ve got a few days to spend in hyperspace, and we get one brief scene establishing that fact, quick banter between a few people, and off to the big showdown.

It felt so rushed to me that I wondered what I was missing over those days spent in travel; how characters were preparing themselves for what was next, how they were reconciling the events that led them to this; there is an utter wealth of joy that can be found by just slowing down and letting characters exist in time, instead of just minimal exposition followed by action.

I just love when I get a meeting update in my Outlook and Teams says “new notification!” but it’s the same notification as Outlook that I’ve already cleared, but then my phone buzzes because Teams is shouting “There is new activity!” but it’s not new activity, it’s the same notification I’ve already cleared on both Outlook and Teams on my laptop

Your idealism is something that if implemented would help our world far more than the current systems & modes of thought that are in place.

Welcome to Foug Dord’s Ontario

I’d love to join y’all, but have no time, barely put 40hrs into the game since I picked it up in January. Karlach is my fave on my solo though, and I fully intend on finishing the game in 2025
