Headline 3 years from now: "Huffing Steam Deck vent fumes linked to increased risk of cancer" (Only when done habitually)

Ads: "Have you or a loved one huffed Steam Deck fumes? You may be entitled to compensation."

Valve: Goddamnit. You fucking addicts couldn't stop huffing the vents. WE FUCKING TOLD YOU! It's safe for normal usage. NORMAL usage. Not heroine addict levels of usage!

In my first CS class, the professor announced an extra credit project due at the end of the semester. It was to create a formatted terminal calendar given a year from user input. I finished it after learning about condition but before I learned about classes... or functions... or loops... or searching the internet... partially. I searched how leap years worked, but didn't bother to search for code (Stack Overflow didn't exist yet)

Anyway, long ass program with each month hard-coded with 7 possible calendars for each month depending on the first day of the week. Lots of copy and paste. Professor was speechless, but accepted it.

I give 1% to my union. My pay is ~10% better than it would be if we didn't have it, and management gets in huge trouble if they mistreat workers. And by trouble, I mean they fired a manager when they scheduled a worker over their lunch break.

People dislike a greedy business.
Start a humble competing business.
Greedy business falls in line or fails.
Competing business now free to push profits, becoming greedy business.

Phone makers: hmm this isn’t selling. Guess we’ll only make phones that look like and do the exact same things as every other phone.

A significantly larger chunk of my taxes are being used to subsidize military killing machines for wars outside my country. I got complaints, but a library ain't one.

When you're running for your life and thinking you should have improved your cardio. You never use that gym membership. Everyone is too intimidating there. Maybe it'd be better to invest in a treadmill. Wait, you looked into that before. Wasn't it too expensive? [train of thought diverges for another minute] Wait, why did I come to this room again?

I was wondering how Signal handles this. Thanks for the info.

It's already a thing. Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. It's more common in people with ADHD.

It can be a part of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, and it's more common in people with ADHD. You're not alone in feeling this way.

That chart looks like it uses the federal poverty line. A sweeping guideline to cover all of the US.

Hey everyone. How's it going? 'hope you're having a lovely day.

I think Florida man might be on par with them. Possibly better if he's on meth.

To add on to this, in front of other people, I play with my finger ring that has moving parts. It's a lot more descreet than playing with other objects.

Spouse at 7:00 AM: "Why do only some of the house lights work and there's no hot water?"

Me: "You know that quick fix I was working on last night. Well, umm, one thing led to another aaaand... Umm... Just so you know, your phone is using mobile data because the wifi is out."

All. The. Time.

It's probably more cost effective to run Azure Services on Linux machines than Windows machines.

I need this sticker on my shitty pickup.

I can see my spouse facepalming when reading my will.
