I fully agree with most of what you’re saying. But I also have many close friends who started out as coworkers, but we found out we’re enjoying each other’s company.

Hell I’m crashing on a former colleague’s (and former boss’s even) couch right now, and another colleague in the same city offered theirs. Another ex coworker is my deepest confidant in just about any topic.

It’s a bit tricky to find out which people are worth deepening the relationship with, and how to cordially avoid the others. But that’s just like everywhere else tbh.

Edit: I wanna add it’s perfectly fine to keep your distance to people from work, as long as you’re not being an asshole. I know I would have missed out on great seemingly lifetime friendships with that attitude and I don’t recommend not joining this seemingly cool person for a drink after work for the sole reason that you work together.

In an ideal world where people read the open source yes. But having contracts with a provider means someone else is responsible if shit fails and that’s half of the corporate world there.

Well back in my days we would wear an onion on the belt, as it was the fashion at the time.

A perfectly cromulent maneuver.

I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.

Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!

(Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)

Naaah. Good programmers know how to use as any as any to make this work in typescript as well.

That’s T’Poll for you.

I had the grid solution wrong, but your explanation is sound! Thanks!

As a German, I’ve definitely learned that in school. Maybe it was memes by then as well, but it being the late 90s I doubt it.

Goddamn!

I’m interested as well. I go entire nights without being able to close my eyes and the only response so far was to cut my adhd meds, thank you no thanks.

Wait do we mess up seratonine as well? I thought it’s dopamine.

How does space look in that font?

To be fair those places do exist. Just don’t go looking for advise on being human on the site literally known for being terrible at humaning. Even the Old Place had and still has areas with very decent discourse.

Yup. The procedure is like something out of a body horror movie. Nothing I’d wanna do again for fun. Still 10/10 payoff, would do again.

I’m in the same boat as the other commenter. I can imagine smells just fine, sounds alright. But images I stick to a general concept of a thing.

It kinda goes with an aphotographic memory as well. I can’t describe what people look like for example and if I try I get it wrong.

You mean you’re able to, gasp, use filters on your thought and exert self-control? What is this dark magic, get outta here

Yeah but neither is a minion there. Morgoth thought Ungoliant to be his minion while acting as if she’d be his partner, which blew up in his face

Everybody complaining about css like “but it doesn’t do what I want if to do without me investing a minute into why”.

Ironically, it’s oh so often the RTFM crowd.
