When I said that weed isn’t harmless. I didn’t say it should be criminal. I just don’t like people pretending it has no downsides.

No. It’s not hard to entertain myself by simply observing the world around me and daydreaming.
Would “outs herself” be any better? I feel like we’re splitting hairs.
Obviously a DEI fire.
It’s the first sentence of the article.
It is when it’s elote.

Yeah it’s possible it was a defensive move. But I don’t think he framed it that way, and I would absolutely be sure to clarify why I kicked a dog if that were the truth. Honestly I would probably lie to avoid having to explain that.
Sadly this was a while ago and I don’t remember if I asked for more details. I just remember it was super awkward.
I think it’s a bit more insidious. Writing a good search engine has become much harder since the first iteration of Google. Yes the root of the issue is greed, but it’s not all the fault of the search engine. Now you have to deal with SEO-optimized marketing material generated by AI.
Building a “good” search engine today is like entering an arms race.
This is farfetched. People love meat, and we have for our entire history. Even India only has around 30% vegetarian population. The demand for not just protein but specifically meat will never go away.
The only way I see us avoiding animal slaughter is by mastering bioengineering to the point where we can grow a perfectly marbled brisket in a lab without actually cloning the whole cow.
This is hard on mobile.
There is always an exception. One of my older coworkers once came in to work with a sprained ankle. I asked why and he said he got it from kicking a dog, with zero remorse in his expression. I wish I had not asked. I knew he was weird but that detail cemented my opinion of him.
Yea I don’t think a cup or two of coffee alone is bad, other than temporarily increasing blood pressure. But I definitely wouldn’t combine it with smoking.
It’s such a good investment that it’s why insurance was invented.
My SO’s family all like to pronounce “mauve” in a weird way, so I say it every chance I get to perturb them.
Over time I switched to saying it like you. It’s more internally consistent for me to pronounce all abbreviations the same as the words being abbreviated. That applies to enum, char, var, serde, num, regex, etc.
It’s technically a good combat scene, but it kinda felt like I was just watching a high budget reenactment, not a drama.
Saving Private Ryan
I like Spielberg, but compared to others in the war drama genre like Band of Brothers or Full Metal Jacket, SPR is laughably bad.
The tone of the movie, trying to be more inspirational than realistic, was awkward at best. Acting was pretty mediocre, probably because the script and characters were 1 dimensional.
It completely disregards the historical context of the war. You could watch this movie and learn absolutely nothing about the history of WWII.
Now Band of Brothers. That was some amazing retelling of true war stories. It wasn’t trying to be inspirational. It was just honest about the chaos and brutality of war. That made it harrowing heartbreaking, infuriating, and inspirational all at once.
I also consider “about to die on average” to be “old”.
