  • This attitude is what lets the government and big tech get away with so much bullshit.

    “Well it’s happening already so crying about it isn’t going to change anything because you know that protest has never ever been effective even once ever and I kinda like the taste of boot anyways so what’s the big deal?”

  • I had to look this up; looks like the charges were dropped, which is slightly different from a ruling of innocence. The AG isn’t saying he didn’t do it, just that they can’t prove it through evidence.

    I don’t like assuming guilt, especially when it ruins careers before any proof can be established, but I also remember hearing that he was kinda a dickhead… so maybe he just didn’t do himself any favors?

  • Babies are a great source of stress and responsibility, it’s natural to feel some pressure. You’re not a bad person for doing what dads are prone to doing: looking for a problem so you can solve it.

    However, you need to set all that aside. Your job right now is to chill out and be supportive. What will be will be, the challenges ahead won’t be easier to tackle by stressing your wife out and straining your relationship. The practical response to what you’re feeling is to let it go and just be along for the ride for a while.

    All that aside, having a baby may come with extra challenges but it also comes with tremendous benefits. Dads lose out on all the good pregnancy hormones and emotions and it’s hard to see the baby as real until it’s in your hands; but the moment that happens your life changes for the better in so many ways.

    It is impossible to describe the moment when you hold your first child for the first time but it is a life changing experience.

  • AA is my airline of choice, so I guess it’s time to find a new one.

  • I used bazzite on my ROG Ally for a couple of days before I went back to windows because it didn’t reliably work. Crashes abound and some games that work fine on my Steam Deck just refused to open.

    Hopefully one day it gets ironed out.

  • Learning to work the clutch and feel the friction zone is a more difficult skill than some want to admit.

    Learning to drive a motorcycle was a bit overwhelming, I remember my instructor talking about applying the brakes with right hand and foot while disengaging the clutch with the left hand and downshifting with the left foot… and thinking “how the hell is anyone supposed to keep track of all that!”

    I do miss my stick shift though, it was more fun to drive even if less practical.

  • It makes me so angry because children are vulnerable and trusting; exploiting that to get them to believe in nonsense is evil.

  • That our highest levels of government spend time engaging in high school drama should be terrifying to all Americans.

  • Ugh I wanted one of these so fucking badly when I was a kid.

  • He’s begging for money from big oil, maybe possibly potentially related to this particular hot take.

  • Conflating fat people with bad people is pretty standard fare unfortunately.

    I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life; I have a long history of being physically active while also being overweight. For example: I have a black belt in martial arts, which means I spent a decade of my life in a dojo three to five times a week exercising… while still fat. I don’t eat terribly either. My body just holds onto every fucking calorie.

    But many many people have made shitty assumptions about me based entirely on my weight. The “personal responsibility” people are particularly obnoxious.

    I was a kid in the 90s when every TV show had a stupid lazy fat guy as a cheap joke factory. That was super cool for my self esteem.

  • That would still be general help.

    Specific help would be more like “this boss has [x] attack pattern that has a big punish window after it, watch out for [y] though because it has a quick follow up”.

    Aside from that though, your general help is still a step up from “git good” because it’s not so damn condescending. If your entire “help” is a sarcastic zinger you’re probably not helping at all.

  • That’s not really in the spirit of what this self-fellating elephant is trying to say though.

    It is incredibly frustrating and demoralizing to be struggling with a difficult section of a game and turn to the community for help, only to get a condescending “git good”.

    Honestly the autofellating elephant is a fantastic meme for this because it doesn’t do anything for anyone else and serves only to make the commenter feel good.

  • It’s so frustratingly close to perfect too. It has a great screen, is more than powerful enough for all my dev work, it’s super portable, I can plug it into a monitor via alt mode, my Bluetooth keyboard works great on it…

    It is like right there to being my favorite device, but the crappy mobile OS relegates it to sitting unused on my desk 85% of the time.

    Really the only thing I use it for is CAD work via Shapr3D.

  • I would be way way more excited about this if I could actually use the iPad as a dev machine rather than just a big web browser.

    Gimme a full terminal, let me run containers, open up installing full Mac apps, and I will buy one today to replace my aging 2017 MacBook Pro.

    Of course, then their “product differentiation” vanishes and the shareholders make slightly less money…

  • Tell them I hate them.

  • So… does that store only sell Stihl tools? Or, do they just order their tools by brand rather than type? Because if so I need to find them and tell them how angry their store makes me.

  • Sure, we don’t have 70% tax rates like some countries do, but the 30% taxes we do pay don’t actually do anything to improve our lives.

    I feel like it’s valid to complain about paying taxes into a system that doesn’t have any interest in making our lives better or longer.

    Also, we still spend that extra 40% in ridiculous health insurance and copayments.
