I didn’t realize how terrifying it would feel to seriously consider switching jobs for the first time in _TEN_ years

I’ve enjoyed my situation for that long, and I have never considered it this seriously

Why does everything break now that I’m a home owner?

As a renter I *never* had a broken appliance. Or door. Or dimmer.

It’s only been 2 months how do I keep up lol

If you're against adding housing supply because you don't think it will produce affordable housing, just wait until you hear what not adding supply does to housing affordability.

I feel like Person Of Interest is a show that was made too early. Brand it a little more into the AI corner and that show could have gotten into so many ethics issues while being fun lol

I wish there was a Rust guide & a reference that teaches the "core" language features and then shows that is syntactic sugar built on that (like 'for' being sugar for IntoIterator).

As someone new, the language seems like it's 50% syntactic sugar, but it's hard to discern.

What the fuck lol
In the aftermath of an LGBT hate incident, the then-CEO of cloud computing giant Digital Ocean told upset staff his mentor was a member of the KKK as an attempt to explain why they must bend their values because "we love the company"

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Oh my god. Biden pardon this Biden pardon that. I don’t care. Can we move on to something important.

TRUMP LITERALLY PARDONED HIS OWN CRIMINAL ACCOMPLICES and did not get this headline
DISHONORS THE OFFICE, the fuck are you talking about, the office of the presidency? The office that Gerald Ford got in exchange for a pardon?

Damn what a crazy assignment this person did for the NYT.

“Hey can you fly to Mexico for us to take some pics in a CARTEL STASH HOUSE?”

I don't understand this Right To Buy thing from FIFA at all. I'm not even sure what I'm looking at. Are they selling me an NFT "collectible" that I can later use to buy a ticket to the 26 world cup? What? I am SO confused.

the thing i like about go is that you can become an expert in the problems after about an afternoon's worth of work—genuinely—as most of the warts are surface level

it vindicates go's design choices, a simple language for the sort of people who complain after only using something for an afternoon
