Hot take: using a word processor or spreadsheet program are different from balancing a budget, the latter is something I very much wish they had a larger focus on in school during my time, rather than showing us word art and how to add page numbers.

At least it’s not corn.

Personally I’ve never considered sausage or burger necessarily a meat product. Nor steak.

However, in Norway we use a word closer to beef / beef meat for steak, and vegan beef (meat) wouldn’t sound right in my head.

I do however far more important things to be outraged/worried/annoyed/what have you, about than what people want to call their tofu, should I so desire.

I believe the popular name of the genre is ebony corn.

How absolutely lovely. Give her cuddles from me!

Shouldn’t devices used in the service of, and containing data pertaining to a government, be operating on a whitelist principle?

Why people put all this shit on their work devices is beyond me. That and using work emails for private matters. My word some people give me the impression they’d struggle sitting the right way on the toilet without assistance.

The amount of times I’ve had to use a trainer to make gameplay possible when my hand is acting up (and one time when I was cat sitting, and the goblin demanded a hand just for him) is enormous.

It is literally the difference between being able to play a game or not. I really appreciate the options being under accessibility in newer games!

This goes for single player though. Multiplayer is reserved for days when my hand is functioning enough to allow it without trainer assistance.

I’m partial to trunk. Can be symbolised by 🐘

Is that why people keep calling each other gay online?

Finally, a mankini for your phone!

I do hope you’re as purposeful in misunderstanding me as I am in taking the costume/customer typo as an intended choice of wording.

If so, kudos for beating me at my own game, because I’m not sure!

But this does nothing to address my need for towering pillars of hats, masks, and outfits!

Wouldn’t Steam, with TF2, be the most costumer oriented?

On being customer oriented on the other hand, Steam could use some improvement.

It’s never too early to learn navigating drives and folders using the command line!

AFAIK it’s also supposed to not play as nice with non chromium browsers, so there’s that.

Mind you this is from an article I skimmed some years ago, so do your own research on this one rather than believing some rando on the Internet.

Most offices around here have a changing room with a shower, mainly intended for people who bike to work or such, but what if we started using the shower more offensively in a developer capacity?

Stuck on a tricky task? Hit the shower! Team not agreeing on the pattern of the new API? Group shower! Rather than using AI and other crutches when stuck on problems, we should bring back communal showering at work, for the epiphany factor!

That’s absolutely valid, if so I misread the situation. Not always easy getting a read (no pun intended) on written situations, at least I can find it very difficult at times.

On that I agree with you. Though I find it’s easier to get people to see ones point of view by not going with an aggressive or down putting opening, but rather attempt more of a discourse.

I’ll freely admit it’s more of a “do what I say, not what I do” type ordeal, as it’s not as easy on practice as on paper.

Can’t really say anything about the Camilla series, as I have no idea what it is, but you absolutely have a point with your second paragraph.

There is no reason to make new Harry Potter stuff, or work actively to keep it in the Zeitgeist as far as I’m concerned. I can’t however speak to the motivation of the creator and am gonna go with assuming it’s not out of malice.

I don’t think she’ll feel any consequences from what I think about her books, one way or the other.

Now if I was spending money on merch, events, watching the movies on streaming services, buying the games, promoting her content or what have you, that’s a whole other matter.

But to have a reaction of displeasure whenever I see anything inspired by those works, I’d be mightily surprised if it affects anything. Unless she’s hanging out in my yard looking in the window, and if she tried to do that she’d most assuredly be told exactly what I feel about her antics.
