The amount of confused euros ITT is hilarious. Yeah, the states is very backwards. Paper prescriptions, paper checks, paper social benefits cards. What most people don’t realize, like in the meme, just because a pharmacy gets a prescription doesn’t mean they don’t call into the docs office to confirm the script. These are rituals from a bygone era that should have been long replaced by computers and near instantaneous communication.

What’s wild is that the nethack source is so easy to read and understand, that it is trivial to add new content. I’d like to see some of the mechanics from the newer gen roguelikes like Shattered Pixel Dungeon make it back into trad nethack

Not GP, but reading gnarly code and making definitive statements about who/what/when/where/why such that your documentation is accurate, especially in a corpo context where there are not clear boundaries of responsibility, requires quite a bit of brain power. Not to mention the ever increasing entropy in systems driven by profit means that whatever you write in terms of documentation will have a pretty short shelf-life. The code might stick around as an unholy amalgamation of copypasta after a refactor or two.

It is somewhat difficult to source N2 that hasn’t been adulterated as a consumer now. They do the same thing with He2. I’m with shotgun sammich dude. My retirement plan definitely involves my mouth watering for bullets.

Moth says no.

it has always looked light blue-ish, like a periwinkle, and gold to me, as well

Extraordinary rendition is absolutely illegal, especially when it is done without due process and against a court’s order such as the case of Garcia or the dozens of other people flown to CECOT. “Just following orders” isn’t a defense. And I’m sorry to say, but as a federal law enforcement officer, they specifically chose to put themselves and their families on the line for their country. That’s why they are paid and trained and supplied with all manner of paramilitary equipment. What cowards to hide behind masks. They should be proud of the job they are doing and be recognized for it since it is totally within the confines of the law, right? And even more so, to hide behind their families’ “safety” as if that absolves them from their shit behavior. No masks for law enforcement. They are public servants and must follow the law.

Maybe the ICE officers should also stop wearing masks to hide from being accountable for their illegal actions.

Hey, sorry about your mom.

When this happens, I feel like this

It’s never too late to find people just as weird as you and just spend time together. Friendship takes effort to acquire and to maintain, like all relationships though.

TL;DR;AS(AI Summary):

Title: Deep in Mordor where the shadows lie: Dystopian tales of that time when I sold out to Google

The blog post “Deep in Mordor where the shadows lie: Dystopian tales of that time when I sold out to Google” details the author’s disillusionment with Google after working there in 2007. Initially drawn to Google’s progressive image, they experienced overwork, underpayment, and a stifled culture that belied its promises – particularly regarding “20% time.” Attempts to voice employee dissatisfaction were met with management backlash, exposing a stark divide between full-time staff and exploited temps/contractors. This experience sparked a political awakening, revealing the inherent cruelty of capitalism and the moral compromises of working for a company built on surveillance and profit. The post critiques Google’s practices and, more broadly, systemic injustice, detailing a personal journey of realizing and resisting exploitation.

Sounds like me on a nice day. Take the day off from work. Get the homies together. Drop acid in the park. Marvel at nature’s beauty while trippin’ balls and hanging out with my best friends.

4 - I bet there’s some a setting for that in some Linux DE

XFCE’s WM (xfwm4) settings. And yes, I keep it unchecked.

I always appreciate top meme quality. This is for you: 🥇

lol, I hate that I aggressively considered if this was Loss in disguise.

What a rollercoaster of a comment

If some nefarious actor wants to target me and steal my work laptop out of the work bag with the work logo on it, 🤷. I just work there, bro. Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Continue the thought to its natural conclusion: That was back before degrees were financed with tax payer money… which allowed people to fall into indentured servitude with debilitating repayment schemes that most will carry until they die. Pros: Someone way smarter than you is making your coffee, waiting on you, driving you around, and delivering your packages. Cons: Society doesn’t actually get to benefit from the advanced degree it fronted the money for.
