Design background, experienced in backend, DBs, SysAdmin/DevOps. Love TS & TDD.

Very much a you problem.
No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with
CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

That is a bas relief of a teenage mutant ninja turtle in fetish boots eating a skeletal cat, and you can _not_ persuade me otherwise.
It's the 11th day of THAT FISH it's the stupid Xiphactinus at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, which I got to poke around on a bit while working on making exhibits for their renovation project.

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:
A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.
Because I care about people.

You don't learn much from things going well. Miserable as it may be, you learn a lot more about how to do things right from dickheads doing things wrong...
I believe an entry-level software developer's learning journey should include diverse outside influences because it would be very bad luck for about 90% of them if it didn't.
"We want them to learn how we do things here."
And then, hopefully, they get to learn better ways than that.

having blusky's set to make you click-through to see anything flagged as "adult content" is great, because it's like a little surprise present.

Verging on the ridiculous...
Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

What if the geese actually migrated early to Svalbard and are now poaching seals 'to be cooked and eaten on Christmas Day' (according to locals.)

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

Yes, this is bog standard Trumper stuff: people who are just normal stroppy arseholes finding friends online and driving each other completely insane, alienating their own friends and family as they become increasingly wacky and difficult to be around.
