That’s a complete non sequitur. Everything we learn changes the way we view the world. You cannot make version control software without a data model that needs to be learned. Git’s…

What a time to be alive. We pulled that exact thing out on a school trip, and two of my classmates were so affected they literally collapsed. Placebo is kinda crazy. The entire thi…

> Give up, and go to old.reddit.com, which is ugly and not designed for mobile, but at least works okay. Wait, are you kidding? I thought you were talking about using it on desktop…

That’s not a problem, that’s a solution to a proposed problem that might not even be a problem.

Have had colleagues who were required to not work for their resignation period (3 months). "Professional quarantine," since they were going to competitors.

Perhaps, but imagine no need for surgery, no need for anesthesia, all wounds, illnesses and ailments fixed simply by switching the damaged part, or switching bodies entirely.

You can only feel sunshine and grass because your brain interprets sensory signals from your body. It’s easy to imagine a world where your cyborg body can deliver those same signal…

Radagast fits the druid archetype more than the wizard archetype nowadays. Gandalf is a unique case in my head. He’s more of a battlemage, the way I see it, if you ignore that he’s…

You’re reading that wrong. Of course you burn more calories through exercise. Michael Phelps couldn’t have eaten 12k cals a day if exercise didn’t burn calories.

Increasing the energy prices isn’t a solution. It’d affect to poor disproportionally, while also being greatly destabilizing for society at large. It’s basically a flat tax for hea…

So is the set of all positive integers, but there is no unknown number in there, even though we haven’t seen them all.

I shouldn’t need a 4k monitor to watch at a better quality than 720p. The only reason I use Edge these days is because that idiotic (and purposeful) limitation isn’t present there …

Who told you that you can only compare things of equal severity? That would maje comparisons largely useless.

Free speech is the concept, the human right. The first amendment is the government’s pinky promise to not violate that right. Swearsies. Unless you say something they’d rather be s…

It’s kinda funny that people are so afraid of burying a small amount of radioactive material, but are perfectly happy with dumping all the waste from fossil fuels in the air we bre…

The least believable part of that complaint is that you and your SO go on _walks_ that are more than 8 hours long.

There’s already a Donald Duck story like that. Some guy comes to Duckville, and Gladstone Gander is completely terrified of him because.

Sure it does. I’m defaulting to old reddit without old in the url while browsing on mobile.

I really hate this, too. iOS Firefox is the only browser that has auto-complete on URLs that I find usable, but it's an unstable piece of shit.

Not on every piece of clothing you sell.

Gotta wash on 60 sometimes too, though. Otherwise your t-shirts are going to become subtly smelly over time.

Add the additional pay for a total comp of more than 80k. Might be out of the norm for L4, but that's what I was offered.

Amazon Berlin has >€80k for entry level roles.

I didn’t know my father’s suicide and my subsequent depression was caused by governments, politicians, or general existence in the modern capitalist world. Thanks for giving me thi…

Socialists and leftwards want to end capitalism. There’s a large spectrum of leftists that don’t want that, ie. social democracy.
