That hole has served us greatly

Btw this is a parody account

Haha I never seen that one.

Ive seen the dog one.

Without outing yourself… Can you share where?

Or even a population size.

In the big cities I’m in, they’ve become deserts.

People use Amazon instead of the mall because they can still afford the Temu-level garbage Amazon sells.

I mean a few reasons.

• Pricing is better on Amazon vs mall. I can get a Gangsta Luffy T-shirt at $12 vs $20 at hot topic
• Inventory is significantly bigger. Outside of clothes, I can’t imagine not finding the exact online version and compare
• Malls are kinda ugly now. Many are indoor and just wall to wall commercialism.
• People suck. Naked dude stealing stop signs and angry Karen about the take a dump on the escalator.
• Driving vs ship to door.
• Both have temu-level garbage, but it’s cheaper on Amazon.

Samsung appliances. Fridges. Washing machines.

Got them as part of the rental unit. They’re very new looking. But every month is some new mess up.

God I would replace them if I owned this place.

If you forget about Lemmy, straight to jail. No question.

When I was a kid, I used to play video games while jumping around. I’d stand in front of the TV, bounce around, play Mario, run in circles. My parents didn’t care.

At some point, society said that was weird, and I had a gaming chair?

Watching myself balloon (and already using a standing desk for work) went back to standing while playing video games. I enjoy it!

Eww gross but moving around can lead to death I watched a YouTube video on that. I’m not falling for that

Whenever I see those “All the companies that use us” banner, I shrug.

If I was a scammer, why wouldn’t I include a dozen companies?

I can’t imagine this to not be the case. Every bartender I know is tweaked out of their mind. Even the ones who see bartending as an art.

I’m not knocking their skill set. But they’ll be a rare breed if they think about bartending AND food safety at a high level enough to think about the cleanliness of ice.

I volunteered at a summer camp in college and we had a $30 budget to feed 15 kids + 1.

I bought four Little Caesars $5 dollar pizzas, some dollar store big sodas, and had enough money for big bags of chips.

We made it work! 😭

Department lead.

The website team is small, but incredibly effective. Everything works. Everything is mobile friendly, responsive, fast. It’s a way better experience.

I love my app developers, but they’re always behind. Not their own fault. Mobile development is complicated. There’s so many screen sizes, iOS vs Android differences, platform permissions, etc.

The big reason for us to push the App on people was to get more brand awareness on the App Store. But the website is so much more better.

You literally can use it as a web app right into your phone and get a better experience.

And it’ll be such a dark day when I have to dissolve the App team (and hopefully convince them into web dev)

The moment Musk fired engineers, I removed my account. Then I watched Twitter integration fail for a few applications Ive worked on, and removed that login/access.

From there, I watched multiple services fail. Ive watched spam bots take over. I watched drama after drama, Musk demanding weird choices like his tweets get priority.

It’s such a mess.

Vouching syncthing. Easily synced 2TB files between three computers.

Not like Death coaches. They’re a legitimate service to help you achieve a sweet end.

I’ll share my perspectives on Indian colleagues. Not Indians raised Americans (who are more Americanized), but Indians who are from India.

Like others, I feel like this is a general sweeping comment that can be seen as racist and inaccurate. I agree. I try my best to keep it in check.

Indian women come off as entitled. They are both strong because men in India have been rude/off-putting to them, but also demanding. I recall one Indian woman tell me how she used to get catcalls and even had some pretty rape-y language thrown her way and she shrugged it off, calling those men pathetic. But then in her own words, “Would have been treated like a queen” by those toxic men.

Indian men come off incel-y. Not just the young ones, but the married ones too. My one “friend” made a pass at my 14-yo cousin. I now keep him at arms length. The married couple, the husband was a total creep to my wife. Then he defended himself saying that’s normal Indian men behavior. His wife was upset, so maybe it wasn’t? Either way, I didn’t appreciate it.

I only know about a dozen Indian folks in my circle. And again, Indians born in America are completely different.

I went back and forth thinking you meant code like Building Code, or Traffic Code. But you literally mean programming code.

They work hard and get shit done, but it’s always some kind of hacky kluge made from copy-pasted code.

Honestly, I agree.

I will argue that the only code I ever saw from India was from coding firms hired by American companies thinking they can save a few bucks. But then people like me are paid 10x more to fix it.

That code seems to lack any sort of creative thinking or big picture. It’s loops within loops. It’s using stuff like letters for variables, or abbreviations. It’s duplicating code in 3000 line files.

At first, I thought it was just laziness or trying to get it done asap. But then I felt sad when I gave them a lot of feedback, got the changes back, then the next set of code, saw the same issues over again. Like they really don’t see a problem with this.

Haha most of us millennials in my circle are still struggling to own property.

A few years ago, I got this game for $2 and it absolutely scratched my Destiny 2 itch. Even bought the DLC at full price.

Then the usual Ubisoft BS rolled around and I just dropped it.
