"Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney likens fight against Apple to fight for civil rights"

I have no other words

Never will understand the case where someone doesn't take the chance at something that meets or beats. Why take the risk of shopping around for a marginally better offer?

Applies to shopping, dating and job offers.

Job Offers. Makes sense that you'd want to wait around for multiple job offers and pick the "best" one. How do you know the "best" one is what you decide to pick? Depends on how long you wanted to work there, the team you decide to pick and marginally people's experiences on a broader level. If you...

Well, on the bright side people learn who their "friends" are and who their friends actually are.

Friend is a term loosely used. Acquaintances vs casual friends vs your close friends.

Everyone is a passerby in life. Close friends come and go in much smaller quantities though.

This is an interesting video and idea. Touched upon some interesting questions and put some answers out there. Can't say I am satisfied by it all but hey it is a good direction. It is not like I deal with police officers, but I do think the ones in the big cities can be real douches.

I wonder if instead there were town halls where you had police officers from different areas answering questions from random audience members who are black. Yeah, intentional discrimination of question askers. Some of the...

Why does "The One" matter? Oh yeah, humans and animals have a duty to procreate. The spiel of the simple "meet someone, fall in love, get married, buy a house and have kids" creates that hole from childhood. "The One" would fill that hole. This implies L.T.R.

Spent time over the years thinking about that hole and trying patch it up with duct tape as I realize I don't need to do any of those things to be happy. "The One" isn't that one you'd find and marry (or common law) the first time unless you are ...

Hmmmm, I feel like this should be one of the most visible articles on Wikipedia. It is news, but very boring news that I'd want. I might consider adding it to the front page of this site mostly as a reminder to myself.

Anytime a doctor measures my BMI, I say this doctor is a hack and never go to the same doctor again.

Here's an NPR story on why BMI is literal bullshit: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106268439

Yeah, it is a fucking hack that takes no other things to measure. Lol, because waist size just does not matter apparently. Imagine being full of muscle, but being told by your robot doctor that you are obese. LOL 😭🤪

BMI = (Weight in Pounds x 703) / (Height in inches x Height in inches). WTF is thi...

Much better experience than retard debates with the rTard 45th. Fucking a.

Much better to hear what he has to say about what he thinks and how he grapples with his past, present and how he hopes to contribute to the country's future.

It is more bearable to watch. I didn't bother watching the debate only clips of it because I already knew what was going to happen. Does anyone not remember 2016 Election debates? I watched Trump at that time and during his rallies. He is an attention hog. If he doesn't have much...

Anyone heard of any other language where there are "module" specs? You know specs for how your library will be bundled up in order to expose your library for consumption.

AMD, CJS, UMD, ESM, SystemJS, GGJS, HYZM and whatever acronyms out there

Why the fk do these things exist? Oh right, because Javascript left the idea of library importing out. It wasn't conceivable that people would need to do this in the browser until they did. I guess other language designers figured people share code and that company fron...

My god...

I sign up/in with ID.me to make it easy to sign in to a MySSA account and what do you know... It works. Great. End of story right?

Ha! I tried to request a replacement SS card and it can't verify my address. Did it a couple of times over 2 days.  Banned for 2 months from making those requests.

Ah ok, let's call in because surely their address verification system sucks. You'd think they'd have USPS address verification right? Go figure.

Agent tells me some blah blah about new address vs tax. Maaaam, I...
