Yeah, it’s tricky that, especially with international stuff. When something kicks off internationally and suddenly a bajillion charity groups appear, it’s troublesome.

And it’s my rule of thumb to just disregard anything from a religion, I won’t even bother checking into them. Whenever there’s been a charity called out for being evil, it’s ironically Christian-based.

I wish my mother was like this,.I’d.actually read her messages. She just uses my phone number as her personal journal. I get dozens of messages a day about nothing. I have to mute her and check every now and then, scrolling through useless shit about—hang on, I’ll look at the last three topics; dogs and horses going to heaven, liking nature and not suburbia, the sermon at a mid-week church event—and make sure nothing important happened. I’ve told her to chill, it doesn’t work.

I haven’t done web work for well over a decade and recently was surprised to learn that Wordpress is still very relevant. I remember back then, seeking alternatives as we expected it to become more of a legacy thing a few years down the track, so we were on the lookout for future-proofing client sites with a better foundation. At that point it was a decade old and annoying af because it morphed into a messy way of doing websites because people misused it’s original purpose. Brain had to think like a blog and then trick it into doing what you want, kind of like using tables to structure pages before CSS-P saved the day.

Seen these on Jay Leno’s Garage. Cars used to come with them and were intended to be used for picnics and whatnot.

Usually electronica or classical. Both just fill in with tasty noises that blend into the background. Most music composed with some sort of a music theory background tends to do this well without relying on lyrics, repetition or distractions fighting for your attention.

Yup, that’s standard. If you’re about three responses in, give up, it’s already lost and incapable of focusing on the requirements. It will also lie to please. There is zero admission of confidence score. You only pick up on the things you know are wrong and considering how often that is, the rest can only be taken with a grain of salt.

It’s like Alphabet hate guaranteed money.

“How can we boost the next six months of investment for sake of stable income over the next decade?”

“More ads. Studies show everyone with internet access fucking loves them.”

*Brilliant! Welcome to entry level lower senior-ish management, Jenkins."

“YESSSSS! I can’t wait to tell the family about this when I’m on leave from this wonderfully accommodating work campus. All hail, G.”

“All hail, G.”

Aw man, I bet it turns out all along I’m just training AI. Why not? What a valuable asset I am. I bet I’ll end up paying for myself later

There’s no shortage of cess pools

Y’all have to use ISP provided modems?

“Don’t forget to like and subscribe and hype and hit that bell and leave a comment down below–inhale—it really helps this channel out.”

I sympathise that they are currently in a period in their life where they are doing door-to-door sales for a wage.

It’s easy.

1. Deny
2. Take control
3. Show empathy
4. Start their departure.
5. Make them glad they’re leaving

Cut them off, “Oh, sorry. I’m not interested in that. I need to quickly get back to what I was doing. But you have a good day and try stay cool/warm/dry/etc. out there.” Start stepping back, “And be careful of the dog four doors down, it’s a fucking cunt.”

As you close the door, say “You too, bud.” regardless of what they say, even if they say nothing.

They will never return or pursue, and you won’t feel rude.

Yep. Look up HRV instead of heart rate.

Internet? You mean the WiFi /s

All the while it gets further and further from the requirements. So you open five more conversations, give them the same prompt, and try pick which one is least wrong.

All the while realising you did this to save time but at this point coding from scratch would have been faster.

A city I used to live in had a bridge like this in a major inner-city commercial area just outside the CBD. Would cause havoc for commuters because the bridge was for the southern train lines entering the CBD and was on a busy road entering an major arterial.

All the traffic got held up and diverted, the trains couldn’t run until engineers inspected the bridge.

Aye. I’m still on my S20+. Need a replacement battery, but otherwise nothing new is worth the cost yet. Pixels be the same Pixels, Samsungs, the same Samsungs. Where the upgrades are happening, I just won’t see them, so nothing “new”.

Mr Mime.

My school had one on dirt. The panels were wood and had a hole in it. Finally, one day, we were playing and a kid’s foot went down there and got fucked up. He was like a rockstar coming into school next day with stitches and crutches.
