If you think solar panels are the solution to our problems on a “significant” level, you clearly haven’t been paying enough attention and don’t understand the scale of the issues here – and no I’m not going to be the one who has to educate you

it’s like 2/100 now

ah I see you’re an optimist

What if brain chemistry is just an excuse?

This has to be the single fucking stupidest opinion I’ve seen anyone voice whole year. Jesus fuck, forget anything I said about how I think you mean well, because you clearly don’t. You’re a fucking walking and talking example of the Dunning-Kruger phenomenon who has their head so far up their ass that they think brain chemistry is an excuse, and that your fantastically idiotic opinions clearly mean you’re wiser than the rest of us plebs when you can’t even process the thought that maybe mental illness could affect how much someone exercises. How you manage to function in society without dying of drinking bleach is completely beyond me

People who have never had mental health issues be like “why don’t you just stop feeling bad?”

I know you mean well but like jesus christ

Complex regexen aren’t exactly readable, there’s all kinds of fun performance gotchas, there’s sometimes other tools/algorithms that are more suitable for the task, and sometimes people try to use them to eg. parse HTML because they don’t know that it is literally impossible to use regular expressions to parse languages that aren’t regular

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems.

The recommended number of anuses is one

I think that’s just IT jobs in general. I noped out after 15 years, no fucking clue what I’ll do but I can tell you it’ll be anything but IT

Right, I must be “very young” if I don’t think that hurling abuse at others is OK.

Yeah, pretty much figured you were one of the people who thought his behavior wasn’t only acceptable but preferable. In other words, an asshole.

Are we pretending that his various and ubiquitous abusive rants didn’t happen, or that they weren’t him acting like an asshole?

He was never likeable. He acted like a huge asshole, which naturally made other assholes look at him and go “see if he can do that so can I”

Neither of them is exactly what I’d call easily likeable

Loquunturne Latine in ‘Quid’?

That’s a good tip. I keep hearing lots of positive things about the story and the world, so it’d be fun to check it out for myself

Oh trust me, I know myself. I really haven’t had the energy to play challenging games in a while now, so games like Cloudpunk, Sable, Lightyear Frontier, The Invincible, etc etc have been right up my alley. Anything I don’t have to grind, I have enough of that in my life as it is
