Original account. i also use my discuss online account.

  • I worked for a professor like that.

    Apparently the guy had complaints like this for years, forcing students to buy HIS BOOKS. ALL OF THEM.

    They don't give a fuck.

  • Rough.

    I wonder how easy it is to spin up your own instance. Or course, that's out of reach for most non-technical folks.

  • I wonder if they were thinking like how before Reddit had image galleries, people would use imgur

  • Truth.

    More and more supermarkets are opening up pharmacies to compete. And in my town, private practices are now starting to also have a pharmacy.

    I'm not supporting Walmart though.

  • Thank you! It wasn't paywalled on my end and I wonder if it activates on traffic.

  • I went to a Walgreens to buy nail clippers since I was nearby and had a bad hangnail.

    Had to push a red button to wait for an employee to unlock the cabinet. After 10 minutes, I ran to find a random employee who was stocking and they got me what I needed.

    That was the first and last time I ever went to Walgreens.

  • "Go big or go home!" The CEO says as they fire 70% of their staff and now have to take a vacation to recharge at their summer beach house. His major concern? His severance package is only $3 million when his last place gave him $12 million. But this next coke-fueled idea will absolutely get them back to the top!

  • I wish I could be such a PoS where I join a company, propose a massive investment into something, see it's failure and firing a bunch of staff, then bounce with a nice severance package to join a new company to repeat that over and over again.

  • Oh was this not a meme about dipshit influencer fighting Mike Tyson?

    I thought it was more about young people willing to watch garbage because 🤪🤪🤪 what if how zany 🤪🤪🤪

  • Thank you! Subscribed and will start passing posts over there.

  • We saw a man propose to his wife in a cute way. There was a person playing music and he got on his knees. She said yes and people were being supportive.

    Then I got down on my knee and proposed to my wife (again). My wife said no and walked away.

    I then quietly left the area to the awkward strangers, turned the corner to find my wife laughing at me.

  • People may show excitement over the hot new thing, but nobody is going to migrate their entire architecture/platform over unless it's incredibly convenient or they're rebuilding from scratch. Backward compatibility makes it less of a barrier of entry to migrate.

    That's good for adoption.

    But also a foot gun, since the roadmap of Deno just starts to look like Node.

  • This was pointed out a few years ago, using comparisons from the js framework wars, and the js tooling wars.

    To gain adoption, they need to do things better by a multiplier. Why is Vite the standard now? Because gulp was doing too much, and webpack was a complex mess. Vite is so fast, lightweight, and works.

    Node and the Node contributors are taking every single idea Deno has and implementing them faster and better.

    Deno is a nice idea, but it's getting their lunch eaten.

  • Pretty sure they took a photo of you. Then they hung it in the back of the store on their "Check out this guy" board. Under your photo, they wrote "ordered two, like a psychopath."

    They also posted to chipotlebook, which is a secret social media platform for chipotle workers. Your photo has 12000 comments and 16823 laugh emojis.

    Your photo was also shared in the Chipotle shadow council. There's a bean counter (pinto) noticing you're willing to buy two burritos and eat them in a single trip. He does some calculations, and realizes that money making opportunity here. Where the texmex realm mocked you, he sees you as his golden goose. The new "Double Stuffed Burrito" makes bajillions. He's been carrying your photo on his wallet.

    The world cares more than you think.

  • No doubt about it.

    The original drama started off on shakey ground like it was about using the WordPress branding and WPEngine not contributing.

    Which, okay I can see his perspective even if I disagree.

    But then his not one, but TWO "If you hate my direction, then quit". Then not one, but TWO "Well we might not return to contribute" threats.

    Sounds like his for-profit company is slowly sinking and he's looking for something to blame that isn't him.

  • A for-profit CEO controlling the direction of a open-source project is a big fucking problem

  • Maybe convince them that they can get pure cat pee and mix that with bleach to create chloramine.

    When inhaled, it can cure them of any respiratory illness. Permanently!

    TIL that the term "marijuana" has a racist history, and meant to play off of anti-immigrant sentiments.
