When I did my first play thru on Xbox 360, and I realized there was no levitation or jumping spells – I can still recall the disappointment. That simple thing was enough for me to not like it as much.

However, going into portals sickened and scared me. I never got over it before I moved on to Skyrim.

Yeah, so Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were neoliberals. So, yeah, major parts of Western governments have been headed to this since I was a kid.

Since folks like me don’t know what neoliberal is, from the Wikipedia page on this subject:

Neoliberalism is often associated with a set of economic liberalizationpolicies, including privatization, deregulation, depoliticisation, consumer choice, globalization, free trade, monetarism, austerity, and reductions in government spending.

It took me until my late thirties but I figured it out. I break my mental freeze from a compliment by just saying out loud what just happened. I say, “That was a compliment.” Then natural empathy and politeness take over and I continue with, “Thank you for the kind words.” This can happen simultaneously with feeling and silently processing the shame and discomfort that being complimented causes.

Good luck everyone.

Yes. Finder is just some app you can move files with on macOS.

Damn. You never sent in the ROFLcopter? Not even once?

Finder is macOS equivalent of Windows Explorer (maybe, it’s been a while). I assume Linux desktop suites have various similar processes. In other words, a second optional layer (with more features) to access runtime libc file manipulation api.

Boy oh boy would you hate AppleScript. This is what I have to type to throw files in the trash instead of deleting them.

tell application ”Finder” to delete POSIX file “/full/fucking/path/to/file”

If “mildly infuriating” is just a synonym for “annoying” then I’d say this post nails the theme perfectly.

For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemmingway is set during this period. Just a side note.

If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.

They are named after the hero who goes back in time to save Sarah Connor from the Terminator.

Also, you are too old to be picking on school children.

I didn’t like that movie.

One of the most valuable things my dad taught me was how to take good advice from an asshole.

Is that like a cryocurrency?

I’m getting chills just thinking about it.

So in the OP’s original timeline there is a flexible CI pipeline tool named Adolph. Huh…

Back in the day there were only re-tweets and bookmarks. Then Facebook likes became popular and Twitter changed bookmarks which could be private or public into fully public likes. So annoying. Likes should have never existed on Twitter.

I think it’s more like, imagine if all the shares of Amazon were confiscated from Bezos and his main henchmen and his original remaining backers, and then those shares were equally redistributed to Amazon employees and contractors. I don’t think the workers would disagree with that move.
