Dude don’t be a hypochondriac on top of everything else it’s probably an ingrown hair

@retoor currently in like sweatpants which were brought new.
But basically all my jeans are 2nd hand
I’d say around 40% of my shirts.
Thrifted / vintage clothes seem to be pretty popular at least up in North American cities. There are many factors to it. I think in NA we have many privileges, but we have gotten shafted hard on declining average clothing quality on newer clothes.

@retoor clothes (excluding underwear) needing to be new is something I haven’t heard before.
Thrifting is fun and washing machines exist

@mostr4am Frank Herbert is the author of Dune

@mostr4am ah the Frank Herbert solution the only thing to love more than the glory of Islam is cocaine

Yea but if we buy ourselves 50-100 years planting trees it might be enough to get fusion power online.
Of course we dont need fusion, fission and renewables can get the job done, but it might take fusion to be such an obvious choice for cost benefit analysis to be obvious enough.

@tosensei fuck I’m doubly unworthy

@jestdotty @Demolishun yall believe anybody with photoshop 😂

lol what if that was just for the interview

A thought is to not worry about it as much. For work go do something totally different. Work on a boat, work at a resort or something that puts you in contact with a lot of people you wouldn’t normally be in contact with.

If you are drinking coffee in the morning stop. Your morning grogginess will go away. Save the coffee for the afternoon sleepiness. Caffeine bocks sleep hormone receptors.
Just try to get it in before 3pm. It takes a long time for caffeine to get out of the system.

@netikras fasting and extended fasting definitely has some interesting effects on the body.
The consensus is to eat a Mediterranean diet and yogurt but that may only apply if you also live a Mediterranean lifestyle of not stressing too much and frequently looking off to the seaside.
This isn’t possible for everyone and doesn’t factor in specific goals. There were recent studies over intermittent fasting that showed elevated heart risks, but there are risks from not fasting as well.
Personally I think fasting really can help with your relationship to food. It’s easy to get addicted with the high availability of cheap processed calories.
Fixing that and allowing your body to process out the junk is a big help. And as you alluded to, breaking a fast properly is so important. I imagine I’ve done some damage breaking a few with a feast of beer and burgers.

@Lensflare how do the Reddit readers get around this?

@kiki yea this is a very middle class (predominantly) white western view to call this censorship in any form. This is a company blacking out phrases to protect its bottom line. Not the government arresting bc you sent a mean tweet about the president

You could try Bumble for friends!

It’s developed under capitalism, of course it’s exploitative. (Note this is not inherent anti capitalism discourse, exploitation isn’t the worst thing in all cases)

So this brings me to the question:

In Soviet Russia: does SCRUM Agile you?

Though it would be interesting to look into software practices developed under wildly different incentive structures.

My plus plus went away and has not come back yet so we shall see

@Demolishun it feels like zero when you make 10s of millions per year. These are the out of touch people controlling huge portions of our lives 🙃

@donkulator yea the judgment if to embrace mediocrity is good advice comes from where one’s standards of excellence are

I’m so sorry to hear this. My condolences for your loss. I feel these words are kind but never enough to express the sadness can empathy in these situations.

I had a lover die by suicide also. We were not together at the time but it hurt immensely. I still cared for her and wanted her to succeed.

We are the friends they are survived by. We get to tell our own story. The meaning is ours to attribute. I decided I did not want to end my plot at that time.

Gotta be realistic on the workplace. And there’s marginally decreasing returns at play too.

Shit code, shit pay = grind for experience job jump ship asap

Great code, shit pay = charity work, stick it out a bit longer and get good skills

Great code, great pay = recognize it when you got it. Great code is not perfect.

Shit code, great pay = you’ve gotten golden handcuffed, you aren’t really growing but they’re paying you to give up and maintain their monster

@Demolishun setting aside the intentional misunderstanding of how floating currency, profit motive, and the motive for a social credit system existing, there is zero evidence that social programs cause this dependency at scale.

@kobenz you did not just tell the gunshot victim to poke holes. Mans got enough problems with holes, he don’t need anymore.

I couldn’t have said it better. I’m experiencing something very similar as I reckon with my own substance management.

We must accept that the past is out of our control. We must access what of the present is in our control. We must examine what actions we can take to self actualize the defeated visions of the past with the controllable elements of the present and future.

@pandasama why do you think that would happen? Management is a different skill set entirely.
You learn management skills on top of engineering skills.
Your engineering skills allow you to have intelligent conversations with the engineers. You do need them.
Your management skills decide what those conversations will be about.
These are totally different, and there’s a good chance you demonstrate the management requirements now. Don’t be afraid to apply.

I really think driving tests shouldn’t be forever. You need a refresher once or twice a decade

On the one hand good on you for not going to an echo chamber, on the other, why is this on dev rant lol

A therapist once told me a great piece of wisdom: you can’t change anyone’s “want to”
And here want is like “I want to live my life expressed as I truly feel.”
It your daughter is just exploring her sexuality or is finding she is fully gay, you must ask yourself:
What kind of relationship do I want with my daughter? This is your child, you have the increasingly rare blessing of being a parent, do you want to cherish that with the one thing we know is real: this life, or do you want to destroy it for someone’s ancient vision mistranslated and put into an agenda?
I can’t change what you want to do, but consider the outcome of which want you should answer…

Ps also jumping right to sexually charged idea is a stretch. These girls might just be touch starved, modern western culture is so weird about touch and closeness when really it super natural and way more common in older societies.

Read some books about parenting teens. You can read things you disagree with and still learn.
