The spirit of being a little lemming following without question everything the higher ups like you believe. Nothing I’ve said has been grayed out so plenty of people silently agree with me

Meh. I won’t come back. This place is full of cowards anyway

My mortgage is up a thousand bucks due to interest rates. It was a an FHA loan so it made sense at the time
Re:It Will Never Be a Good Time to Buy a House on Sunday November 26, 2023 @10:53AM (#38422493)
Well I didn’t think of it that way. I admit im sentimental about it but it’s not sounding too bad too sell now either

I’m in Austin, so my house went up in value quite a lot.

Apparently. Without one, everyone ends up making their own.

Take UFOs for instance. Still absolutely no proof whatsoever that they exist but atheists are still obsessed with the topic.

Funny enough, revenge is something people willingly starve themselves for if need be.

I don’t want to sell, I was hoping to be buried in the backyard when I died.
Re:It Will Never Be a Good Time to Buy a House on Sunday November 26, 2023 @10:21AM (#38422259)
I don’t want to, but looks like I’ll have to, interest rates being what they are. I really liked the place, made a nice little garden for the first time in my life

But if yall think selling is a good idea, that’s a good omen

Re:It Will Never Be a Good Time to Buy a House on Sunday November 26, 2023 @10:12AM (#38422165)
Buying a house in 2019 was one of the top 5 worst decisions in my life
Port was what I was thinking. Can’t turn wine into whiskey. That’s not only impossible but grounds for a holy war between wine and whiskey aficionados

Plus it goes with the whole gaming port thing

In that case the Russians would have scorched Stalingrad, which they didn’t. They didn’t because of the symbolism behind it

That’s a good question. No, I wouldn’t. It’s not one of Ridley Scott’s best works. I’d say if you enjoyed kingdom of heaven then you may like it.

I’d rather watch “The Terror” again

Are y’all seriously so sheltered you don’t know that when you hire a prostitute there’s always a pimp in the motel room next door?

Because that’s hilarious

There’s slaves everywhere, especially sexual slavery, but Americans do love their porn, so blind eyes all over the place

Watched it yesterday and hated it. I was looking forward to it too based on the trailers but it turned out to be a big hit ahistorical hit piece.

For example, no matter what you think of the guy, Napoleon was a bonafide military genius. In the movie, they made him seem like just one more of the bunch. Napoleon was famous for never being bothered by the gore of battle and the buzzing of billets, in the same vein as general Grant. In the movie they made him seem like a scaredy cat

In “Waterloo” you could see why French soldiers joined his cause in droves. Extreme charisma

I’m a big fan of point n click adventures.

Graphics are great, so either a talented team or someone very talented, but you have to wade thru 40 mins of exposition before starting the first chapter (you don’t have to but then what about the lore?)

The classic pair programming conundrum.
Re:Napoleon: Two Centuries of Life After Death on Saturday November 25, 2023 @04:22PM (#38416787)
By the way, if anyone likes history flicks, I won’t recommend watching the new Napoleon, unless it’s a pirated hate watch.

The classic “Waterloo” remains undefeated

Re:Napoleon: Two Centuries of Life After Death on Saturday November 25, 2023 @04:09PM (#38416687)
People were willing to die for the revolution and Napoleon. Apparently, self-determination and free will doesn’t apply if you don’t agree with their politics.

It was actually hilarious but I don’t think many people here got the irony

I actually think it's far better to pair program with ChatGPT instead of another human.
This is some seriously brazen propaganda. I'll give them points for courage.

What's a good useful difference between .bashrc and .bashprofile? I usually just ignore everything but the rc files.

That's a good description of modern software development. For any junior devs reading, this is the accurate presentation of the reality of software development for the most devs. There are exceptions, but they are either lucky and know it, lucky but with a superiority complex who think they have a monopoly on the truth, NPCs, or the usual gaggle of people who disagree with everything I post here anyway.

Think about it: How can JavaScript have so many innovations, yet practically no one has moved on from the scrum/kanban abomination in going on a decade? Perhaps more. Why

The biggest sin: bringing up inconvenient truths in public.

Another NPC who thinks they have a monopoly on the truth.

A very long-winded fortune cookie A.I could have written this.

Another person who has a monopoly on the truth. There's always a few.
Re:Things We Always Remind Ourselves While Coding on Saturday November 25, 2023 @11:09AM (#38414366)
I suppose you do have a monopoly on the truth.

Easy solution is to put a chick on it and make her gay and lame. Netflix would re-invest another 55m regardless if it makes money or not
Re:Things you're allowed to do (2020) on Friday November 24, 2023 @07:55PM (#38410061)
Better yet, things you are NOT allowed to do

For example, people hate realists. About the only taboo left today, besides the supernatural, is being a Debbie Downer

Anyone who isn’t toxically optimistic is considered to be violent and dangerous today
