  • All morning trying to fix something in CSS...

    Jump

  • Nested tables is the best I can do...

  • Honor, Actually

    Jump

  • This is amazing. Can we make every Valentine's Day about Gowron?

  • What's your favorite running gag?

    Jump

  • Voice of Ron Howard: There were too many to choose..

    Edit: This reminded me of another favorite running gag:

    The Hacker in Leverage names everything after references to other shows. The fake IDs he creates are frequently less known Doctor Who or Star Trek actors.

    And the Hacker's van is named Lucille. Which I thought might be a nod to Arrested Development, until...

    The van, Lucille is destroyed. When the Hacker gets a replacement van, he names it Lucille 2.

  • You come across the Death Note today. What do you do with it?

    Jump

  • Lol. He knows how to get off of the list. If anyone can donate fast enough to outrun a make believe magic book, he can.

  • Do you consider the right to be forgotten a human right? Why or why not?

  • Do you consider the right to be forgotten a human right? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • Yes, with lots of carve outs:

    • Un-aquited criminals who have not served their time have no right to be forgotten
    • Public personalities who wish to remain public personalities don't get to have it both ways
    • Within reason, binding contracts entered into without coercion should remain binding, maintaing existing contract escape mechanisms.

    Otherwise, for the rest of us, I do think we should have a right to be forgotten.

  • Lol. I would upvote this in news. We could use some positivity over there anyway.

  • Hey, robot... [Extra Ordinary Comics]

    Jump

  • Yeah. It reads different second time through. Lol. Marvin could have solved all kinds of problems, but usually couldn't be bothered.

  • Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

    Jump

  • Ooh. Interesting. Thanks. Might need to revisit. See if we can compete with office chairs, after all. Lol.

  • We Should Probably Have Another Meeting

    Jump

  • Exactly.

  • Do I detect a divide by zero joke? Nice!

  • This is hilarious, but I need facts.

    All together, we (Lemmy) are hotter than oatmeal, but we're less interesting than office chairs. (On Reddit).

  • Always spend at least 20% of the time on stuff you know is necessary, but will never be prioritized by marketing heads.

    This is the way.

    Leadership: Please don't prioritize code cleanup, we have critical features we need to release.

    Me: Oh. I didn't realize you were taking ownership of (complex code no one wants to be associated with). I've got diagrams I can send you.

    Leadership: No, that's still yours. We just need you to focus on these features, and not any planned maintenance, for just the next sprint.

    Me: So you'll take over guiding maintenance on (complex source code no one wants to get near)? I can send you the backlog for your project plans...

    Leadership: That's not what we're saying. Please just prioritize the feature.

    Me: Oh. Sure. I will prioritize that feature, and I'll only do the bare minimum cleanup that can't be avoided, right now. (Which will turn out to be however much cleanup I damn well please, because their eyes glaze over if I explain it, anyway.)

    Leadership: Now you're getting it!

    Me: Gee whiz. Thanks for talking it through with me.

  • Lol. It's true!

    My first kid only got premium organic kale crackers for snacks.

    My second kid is allowed to eat anything they find, including on the floor, within reason.

    First kid had to be dressed nice, for fear others would judge me.

    Second kid, I know everyone is judging me, but this is an important developmental moment happening, and we're not stopping for socks.

  • Perhaps ask questions about what they're into rather than if they're into thing.

    This is great advice! Asking about something specific is off-putting and could lose a great candidate.

    Asking an open ended question about their hobbies can get the same positive result, and will catch candidates who wouldn't have anything to say about science fiction.

    Where should I post this? I might need emotional support from a human being to help me stop avoiding women. I am really going to spend the rest of my life alone if I don't stop avoiding.

  • For me, the turning point was taking a bunch of classes on public speaking.

    Getting in front of people helped me develop "personas" in unimportant contexts.

    Now when I feel like I'm being weird, I can choose to retreat into one of my public speaking personas. And I can sort of hide inside the persona until whatever is bothering me passes.

    The net effect on my interaction with the opposite gender is that when things get awkward, I become a kind of well rehearsed bland likeable that puts people at ease.

    Only the people closest to me know that it's a mask I wear to cover my own confusion or discomfort. One of the people who knows is my life partner, but of course they like me anyway, now.

  • Seems like the AP isn't counting the lights in the official manner. There's five lights. It's official. It's not something there's any need to stubbornly disagree about, Picard.
