A decade ago, I was annoyed by emojis. Hate that shit.

But then some PM decorated all the knowledge base page titles in our Confluence to have a icon in the front to visually group the goal.

And that’s when I learned how valuable a good emoji can be.

While playing the single player masterpiece which was God of War, I absolutely thought: “The only way to make this game better is if I had the luxury of buying a battle pass to grind for seasonal cosmetics along with a dozen other people.” 🤤🤤🤤🤑

Had a ex-friend who went real hard last year about feeling his masculinity has been challenged. Went deep into the manosphere language. He was extra annoying. Every convo was about how he, a white man in America, was being repressed. He started labelling random shit as masculine/feminine. Got sick this and stopped inviting him.

A few months later, I learned the divorce was finalized and he’s been sending me invites to hang with him in his bachelor pad. Nah dog you suck now.

This is unfortunately the world of open-source.

1. Nerd tells you to use the open-source thing.
2. Non-technical tries it and asks questions
3. Nerd proclaims it’s not a real problem/your fault/not applicable/fix it yourself
4. Some company takes that open-source version or idea, makes it easier for end users and monetize it
5. Nerd gets angry and repeats step 1

Source: I am nerd and I contribute to open-source.

I don’t see it that way. Long vehicles at IKEA, Lowe’s, hell even Michael’s – I don’t care. Their parking lots are built for that. And the stuff they get.

Long vehicles in a fucking Trader Joes, definitely asshole material.

her post may not be real, but is it a real thing?

When I was growing up, Military Vets in my mind were like 60+ yos who have a lifetime of wisdom.

Today, half the military vets at my job are around 30 years old, and while proud to serve, commiserate over how fucked up it was.

Where the other half are around 45yo and complain about how difficult it is to get support and strongly tell their children not to join the military.
