Thank you T-T

I’m gonna go click that button you worked so hard on. You should be very proud!

I mean, I get what you’re going at, but she does hold a PhD in cultural studies, and she did put in a lot of effort to get in. It’s very possible, too, that, in an arena so different than what she’s used to, she choked. A lot of the hate goes above and beyond with death threats and claims she should kill herself, and nobody deserves that.

For how goofy it was, and the memes that have come from it, she’s earned my respect and thanks for bringing a little, albeit unintentional, joy to my life.

This is all incredibly (funny, and) poignant, and, as a programmer, I agree. But any career has its level of trimming Satan’s pubes, and I’m really happy to be trimming my share.

When I was

I had to get out of there! I faked an attack of scurvy.

Scurvy… Works every time.

MISSINGNO.

The better joke ☝️

I’m surprised, with how meta some episodes can be and the grotesque love of time travel, that they never went back in time and met Lucille Ball.

Ok, the question is: What would each distro taste like?

RedHat: A dark roast, bitter but caffeinated. You curse with each sip and can’t stop drinking it. You also pay the barista to tell you how to hold the mug.

A quick Google search of “Mexican Restaurants in Tokyo” brought up over 30 results in Tokyo. Hell, the other day I was watching the original Iron Chef from the 90s, and they brought in a Japanese Mexican Chef as a challenger.

I argue that every war since WW2 had people saying that it was the potential start of WW3.

I’m 34, was untreated for ADHD until a few months ago. I work in software development, and had various roles & responsibilities thrust upon me when people left. On top of that, managing a team through the COVID Lockdown and my own fracturing mental state really took a toll on me. The advice posted here is solid. When I took on everything, I had to learn these via Trail-by-fire. If I may add on:

• Always forgive people for their emotions. This is solid, but remember to apply this to yourself. You’re human, too. On top of that, your ADHD is not something You’re at fault for. Forgive yourself, don’t punish yourself.
• Having trust in your team is paramount. Backing them up, treating them as equals, and sharing advice you’ve learned from the previous generations will bolster them. I’ve had a lot of new people come in, asking “why were things done this way?” And I ask them “Knowing what we know now, how can we make them better?”
• “Balancing criticism with praise” should be tattooed on the hands of anyone in charge of a team. Pulling people aside to let them know that you’re proud of the work they’re doing and how much they mean to the team as a whole is golden rule that pays dividends.
• This does feed into forgiving yourself, be able to take criticism, but being able to take responsibility without coming up with an excuse is a tough one. I grew up with a father who would get overly physical with failures and mistakes. It’s in my nature now to make excuses so I don’t get beat. Hard for me to accept that everyone doesn’t think like my father does. But, failure is human. It’s a chance to learn. It shouldn’t be shunned as it should be observed and treated as acceptable.

All that being said, this was a great post. Thank you both!

Oooh, pie!

We’re not pussies; we’re poor.

Star Wars A New Hope is a great example of all the standard tropes. The Refusal Of The Call is when Obi-Wan gets the message from Leia, and Luke makes up excuses for why he can’t go. After that, they head back, only to find the destroyed Sand Crawler, and Luke has his Death Of Innocence moment when he finds the bodies of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

The flashing lights behind you will keep you awake

Yes! Dragon Slayer is mine! High-five!
