  • They're literally conspiring against you

  • Yeah this is my life, I'm 38-40 waist depending if I've been looking after myself.

    Basically that size doesn't exist on the high street, and it's never in stock online. I literally have to buy summer clothes in winter and vice versa because that's the only time I stand a chance of getting it in my size. I've wanted to buy a new pair of shorts from Levi's all summer and despite checking every week, I've not seen any in stock once.

    And that's all before it arrives and then all the shit you mentioned can happen.

  • Yes, in short, because I like them.

    For better or worse, booze is a big part of British socialising culture, so it's unusual if someone my age (mid thirties millennial) has never drank, but a couple of my mates have gone tee total in recent years.

    Why do I still do it? Beers with your mates whilst enjoying a beer garden or watching the footie is a pretty enjoyable way to pass the time. I'm also a bit of a nerd with it all so I love trying new beers, there's been a huge renaissance around beer variety over the past decade-ish, so there's always something new to try. I've gotten more into wine and cocktails in recent years too, and there's a rich well of variety in there to experience too.

    Smoking tobacco I generally avoid now, it's nice to have the odd one with a beer but I'll probably only have a few a year now. I regularly smoked last in my 20s. I occasionally have ended up with a vape in my pocket after a big night out, but I don't really like them much flavour wise.

    Weed is something I still enjoy, it helps me clear my head, relax, and kinda be more present with whatever activity I'm engaging in, if I'm smoking with mates it can often be a pretty hilarious time. However, it's easy for me to slip into habitual use with it especially though, I don't really seem to get much in the way of acute negative effects beyond tolerance, so I try to be mindful to keep it in check these days. I'll probably try and relegate it to a treat for when I visit somewhere like Amsterdam in the coming years given the downsides of smoking (I've got a vape, but I basically never choose it).

    FWIW I've heard that Gen Z is differing their consumption habits significantly from previous generations. Less drinking alcohol in general, preferring non-smokeable forms of tobacco/weed.

  • Do Lemmy users benefit from alt text in posts that contain photos?

    Jump

  • As well as making something accessible for users that might otherwise have difficulty, it also makes image content more searchable, so you might benefit yourself from it one day.

    Final unironic answer, the OG Xbox duke is the ultimate layout, maybe the 20th anniversary version

  • No project is too small for tests

    Tests double as your documentation for your intent

    Take it from me who has 20+ years of personal projects behind me, the ones that I've kept around are typically the ones that have some form of test suite.

    It's easy to build on something if you know you're not breaking something in the process

  • Should you fantasize about having a relationship with someone you know who has expressed they are not interested in you?

    Jump

  • No, once you know it's not going to happen you need to do what you can to let the idea go.

    Holding into it is just tying an anchor to your happiness that will only get heavier.

  • Honestly this is the reason TDD is most important for personal projects.

    If it's your job, the code isn't getting merged without decent tests. Yes you should probably write them first so you think about your implementation properly, but let's face it, many tests are written after in practice.

    If it's something written in your free time, you're just not writing those tests most of the time if you didn't write them up front.
