  • Well, disclamer it’s all hazy, but iirc the fact that he killed the conversation.

    So at the back of the class we were talking, like 3-4 of us at least, and one guy would constantly rock up and add nothing to the conversation. There were times where he asked me aside (like to talk in private) but had no topic (just looked at me all gay-like, what?), so I just told him to piss off and went back to the group. After a while we didn’t even want to hear him out, the moment he speaks our train-of-tought dies. Later it became akin to bullying.

    There were more to this than that but there always is. If I have to give advice a “what are y’all talking about” so you can join in, instead of a “wow nice shirt” or some conversation starter when we are already talking about something and that something is completely irrelevant of shirts.

    But ye, imagine the scenario where you are talking about how nice it was that no annoying guy were at the party yesterday, and said annoying guy joined in going “nice weather, so what were you doing yesterday?”. An extreme example, but it’s a bad idea to go to a group with an ice breaker when there is no ice to break. My two cents is that asking about the topic is nice caz if they don’t want you to know or to talk to you they’ll just go “not much” or something similar and you can instantly read that you are unwanted and leave instead of adding more fuel to the fire.











  • This links to watch face studio, which I tried and it’s main selling point: no need for coding, it why it’s not an option for me. Custom coding and unique features it where it’s at. Displaying time using words, countdowns, progress bars, timetables, etc. This app can’t do anything fun.

    re-reading this I found a name drop for “Jetpack Watch Face libraries”. I’m gonna look into what that is.







  • Just today I needed a pdf with filler english text, not lorem. ChatGPT was perfect for that. Other times when I’m writing something I use it to check grammar. It’s way better at it than grammarly imo, and faster and makes the decisions for me BUT PROOF-READ IT. if you really fuck the tenses up it won’t know how to correct it, it’ll make things up. Besides these: text manipulation. I could learn vim, write a script, or I could just copy “remove the special characters” enter -> done.

    I use perplexity for syntax. I don’t code with it, but it’s the perfect one stop shop for “how does this work in this lang again” when coding. For advanced/new/unpopular APIs it’s back to the olds school docs, but you could try to give it the link so it parses it for you, it’s usually wonky tho.


  • my classmates had a “who asked” and “noone cares” phase. It was the worst. When we talked about using these way too much we came to the conclusion that it’s a perfect conversation killer, you can’t come back from it. However, in our case we used it impulsively. Not really meaning it, so after a sigh and a “nah but fr” combo we got the convo back on track… usually.

    WE hated and it still done it. What being bored in school for hours a day does to you. You said a fact?? a statement even?? “who asked”… It was anti-learning/talking culture. It’s so good that everyone just forgot about it. tiktok, reels, shorts and whatnot are not spamming it anymore, so it doesn’t exist anymore. If someone gets smart these days and says these, we’ll express our cringe (it’s so last year) so they’ll feel bad, not doing it again.

    But to answer what it means, nothing. noone means it. it’s “funny”. They get joy out of killing a convo this “fun” way. They said the trending meme! Anyways this was my two cents
