I don't have to imagine, I've even tried taken medication for that exact same problem before, what I don't understand is why you'd WANT that

I was a bit surprised how whiskey focused this trade war has been so far.

"What's that going to accomplish, how much whiskey could Canadians possibly drink?"

"Oh. Oh wow. That's ... that much, huh?"

You want to simultaneously juice Canadian tech and cripple American tech? Offer expedited citizenship for LGBTQ+ Americans

Trust me it'll work

it just feels so arbitrary

i don't know why this bothers me so much #canada

just having the weirdest interactions in a r/webdev conversation where folks are pushing, reviewing, and merging pull requests in their own personal single-person repositories

and I'm like "why would you do that?" and they're like "well how else do you merge a branch" and I finally realize the mistake I've made

jesus christ, CBC, what recipe was she searching for

the trick to getting a degree in CS when you're bad at math is to... be... good at mythology. who knew?

@juliangro @QueerMatters
Oh, yes, I forgot to mention to this.

I bring it up every time someone's like "I wish there was VRChat but open source".

There is! It exists! It _needs your help_ probably.

"where's greg?"

"oh, he's on cooking vacation, he's here but you're not allowed to talk to him"

there needs to be an alternative to vacation called "quiet i'm cooking" where you take an at work vacation from meetings and other human interactions and actually get some shit done

i don't like software developers making it out to be like they're soft, prima donna miracle workers who can't accomplish anything unless they have days of uninterrupted quiet and peace to focus on their masterpiece

unless it's me, I want that

#cat drop

there is a hell and i want this person to go there

@neilk @annika (he comments on this, also)

@QueerMatters their monetization model, unfortunately, depended really heavily on blockchain ownership of trivially cloneable 3D assets - essentially “VRChat but every upload is a NFT but you can copy it with zero effort” - which is so obviously horseshit that I can barely believe they spent so much effort on it

@QueerMatters fun story, that’s how early VRChat competitor High Fidelity worked: a FOSS model led by a “foundation”, federated across the internet. It seemed like it could never quite break 10-50 CCU, and they ran out of money after a while and closed up shop.

like, imagine this scenario:

a realtor is taking a man through a nice building. they say "well, if this fourplex isn't the right size for you, perhaps I can interest you in a duplex?"

prospective buyer: "no, I still think that's going to be too small."

realtor: "okay, well, I'm showing off a beautiful suplex right now."

prospective buyer: "a... suplex?"

realtor:

the suplex is objectively funny

every time I see two people hugging in a picture my mind immediately moves to the next frame where one of them is delivering a devastating suplex

try it: you, too, can enjoy this brain disease
