Famous example… a man spent $44b to push his memes.
I once met this girl who let me touch her boobs and do other fun stuff. In order to make that more convenient, we rented an apartment together. Which meant I needed a job to pay rent. Eventually we wanted a nicer place, so we bought a townhouse, which meant I needed to make more money and get a better job. Then we wanted kids, which meant a bigger house, car, etc etc. So needed a promotion to keep up with growing bills and spending.
Now I’m in my 40s, have a bunch of kids, work too much. And all I wanted was to touch some boobs and stuff.
I learned just enough coding and firefox framework to compile my own version of firefox with middle mouse closing tabs disabled
lol why not just not use the middle mouse button? Did you remap it to something else?
Yes i have it mapped to a thumb mouse button for other applications. And then im browsing firefox, i wanna switch to a tab on the left, the button bumps against the keyboard, tab gets closed.
There’s an
about:configoption for that… (kidding)It was weird man, i was in the dev forums and there were previous requests for this feature. And they wouldnt put it on the config page because users might not find it there. So cant have it at all.
A coworker once said I sounded a little flat on Teams, so I bought a USB Audio Interface, boom arm, shock mount, shotgun mic. Couldn’t stop there, of course. Bought two studio monitors, foam pads for the speakers, and audio foam for my bare walls. A little over board, but now my coworker can hear me apply chapstick like I’m two inches from their ears.
Someone has adhd. This is the exact amount if insanity I would participate in.
Game recognize game.
When I was 19 I tried an IRC Vampire the Requiem game. I got banned after arguing with the admins about the rules (in retrospect I was right about how things worked but they’d already house ruled it and I should’ve just gone with it). In response I wrote a whole website for managing character sheets, and a connected IRC bot to handle dice rolls, and pull things from character sheets.
I did all of that, and then proceeded to run a terrible vampire game on IRC for a couple months. The code was all in PHPNuke so it’s useless now. But it taught me a lot about coding for the web. During that time I showed my work at a job interview as a software dev, and I got a job while still in college. But as part of the coding questions, I learned that you can use sql to join tables. I went home and started rewriting a lot of stuff, but the game died before I was finished.
