I suspect it's just an autocorrect typo for "beginning to work".

hello 3d cursor 👀
Stored in memory is still stored.
Given what I know about how computers accept user input, I am fascinated to hear what the alternative is.
Along these lines, I recently learned:
Painstakingly is pains + takingly (as in "took great pains"), not pain + stakingly.
Helicopter is helico + pter ("spiral wing"), not heli + copter.
In linguistics, this phenomenon is called rebracketing.
one time i had a fever dream that was like, "I know how to fix this, I'll just ssh in and see what's up" :|
Omit the "and", and you've got it; otherwise, a regular old comma would be the right punctuation there.
It's a mock search engine results page.

just being silly :D

I was nerd sniped by this post for like an hour, and "false dichotomy" was the closest I could find, lol. You could say that the argument has an unstated co-premise ("the harm is necessary"), to which you are raising an "inference objection".
The Talos Principle (+ DLC) and its just-released sequel really fit this niche for me. I'm fighting severe burnout and was specifically looking for a game without time pressure, reflex-based gameplay, or (because I keep bouncing off of turn-based strategy games even though I believe that I love them) complicated stats-based systems.
TTP is about first-person puzzles in the vein of Portal. While some of the puzzles can be difficult, you can work through them at your own pace. The level structure makes it easy to drop in and out of the game whenever, and the gorgeous environments and soundtrack make the world just a generally soothing and immersive place to walk around in.

If you see me reading a book in public you are absolutely invited to strike up a conversation and nerd out with me about it. I wish we had better mechanisms than body language to signal this!

Generate a reply to a fediverse comment. The comment expresses agreement and laments the rise of this soulless and parodic facsimile of creativity which furthers the social and economic devaluation of a profession whose practitioners are already frequently characterized as "starving". Amiable yet embittered tone, melancholic tone, eloquent but a little overwrought, high quality, faded colors, style of Greg Rutkowski.
Are you thinking of Samus from the Serious Sam games?
This comment is a joke and you wouldn't want to do it like that in reality, but here are some related keywords you could look up: "Unix cat", "Unix pipeline", "grep", "output redirection", "command substitution".
Of course, one has the freedom to cast their vote, or not, as they like. But I can't fathom why someone would "choose" an impossible outcome that ultimately makes the fatal scenario more likely instead of moving the needle toward the survivable one. It strikes me as irrational, which I could ignore if it were mere self-sabotage, but this affects others too.
Then the question still applies: in what way would a spoiler increase the count of either establishment candidate? My understanding of basic math is that it cannot.
Correct, and to claim otherwise would be absurd. Have I done that? The absolute count of votes is immaterial. Elections are decided by the proportion of votes cast for each candidate. That's what admits the spoiler effect. Thanks, FPTP.
That's certainly one opinion on the matter... coincidentally one perfectly aligned with a partisan propaganda viewpoint and, thus far, is nothing but alarmist hyperbole.
It's no coincidence. This is the means by which the establishment perpetuates itself. Doesn't mean both parties are the same.
I'm tapping out after this, but I appreciated the discussion. Have a great weekend.
Does voting third party or abstaining somehow increase the count of votes for Republicans?
No, I'm only describing the spoiler effect here.
Would this be more or less irrational than actively perpetuating the problems with a party and its candidates by guaranteeing them your vote for no reason other than they're not as bad as a different party?
It would be more irrational, because if the "shoot me in the leg, I guess" party loses, everyone dies, and nobody gets to have opinions about anything ever again.
I think we can both agree that voting to avoid bad outcomes rather than to select good ones is fucked.
You have misunderstood the metaphor. (edit: Rather, the people you're describing have.)
You cannot opt out. Someone will take the office.
Adult size! That's a relief. Anyway, goodbye forever.
