Very much depends what kind of programming you’re doing. Graphics uses shittons of maths. Data analysis/data science is maths/stats heavy. Other types less so!

If the purpose of a system is what it does, then it seems the purpose of democracy is the self flagellation of the masses.

One downfall of what I only hesitantly refer to as modern feminism (although really I’m talking about terfs and the terf-adjacent) is that it has painted men as dangerous by default. I’m also a trans woman so I’ve seen both sides of the coin, too… I do feel less safe now, this is true. Many things were easier when I was living as a man. But I was never dangerous or an abuser.

Nonetheless, a former partner used accusations of abuse against me and turned so many people on me. The only ones that stuck by me were former romantic partners, who knew the accusations couldn’t have been true. For everyone else, it was so easy to accept that a man - even a clearly gentle one - would be an abuser.

In reality I’ve been a victim of abuse - physical, emotional, sexual… All long before I transitioned.

I gotta agree, I tried 4 or 5 times and just never got into it. Doesn’t help that I’m not great at party RPGs, but yeah the story was slow and I remember being unimpressed with the dialogue options… It always felt like you were kinda pushed towards and inevitable outcome rather than really influencing things.

So you care at least a little bit then. Otherwise you wouldn’t be able to care less.

Oh my, it’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking when I read this. My upholstery would have been ruined.

Huh. I had no idea you could play it in VR. Doesn’t really seem like a game which would be at all enjoyable in VR tbh, too much movement - especially vertical and sudden. I do not enjoy the idea of facing a creeper in person lol

“Lovercraftian” is a fun typo. I’m imagining developing a casual fwb relationship with Azathoth. Taking Cthulhu for a long walk on the beaches around R’lyeh…

And yet here you are SOCIAL networking. CURIOUS!

Or perhaps accusing someone of short changing you based purely on the sound the coins make on the counter.

2 beats per second, just right to imagine a ticking clock to.

In all seriousness, 3 hours of actual solid work, uninterrupted by meetings or whatever… That’s not as unusual as it might sound. This survey puts the average worker at <3 productive hours per day, and this one at around 4 hours.

I mean, same honestly. Thank god for remote working (but if any hiring managers are reading I totally work all day at home).

Just spend all of it on trains/trams and give the roads to the cyclists.

I made a robot which is delighted about the idea of overthrowing capitalism and will enthusiastically explain how to take down your government.

I can definitely see them being useful in remote areas where large scale power generation projects are not viable.

I get the appeal of having a mixture of renewable generation methods, but is it really the best way to jsht put them all on one structure? Do waves not somewhat inferfere with the action of both solar panels (which will not be properly aligned of they’re rocking about) and turbines (which surely suffer if they are in turbulent airflow thanks to being jostled about)?

Doesn’t need direct controller support, just a suitable steam deck controller layout that works well I think.

I truly hate seeing people get banned for questioning a viewpoint. How weak are your opinions if you literally won’t answer questions about them? Of course there are bad-faith rhetorical techniques that involve asking questions, but people wanting to learn should never be turned away.

I appreciate this, I really do, but you do have to be careful not to end up like certain leftist Reddit subs where I got banned for the heinous crime of suggesting that voting for Harris might produce better outcomes than voting for Trump. Some level of discussion that goes beyond what the majority (or, lbr, the mods) think has to be allowed or you just have an echo chamber.

Granted, that isn’t what is happening in the comic. The apologist here is genuinely advocating tolerance of Nazis. This situation is appropriate.
