Oof yeah I guess that makes sense; but I hate the monolithic way modern software is made: “it does everything automatically, It will work always” Not the unix way.

Same thing with the joystick on my monitors at work too.

Ok good to know— the monitors are the MSI 321URX and Samsung G9 Odyssey circa 2019. Most of the older ones are Dell. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I find this interesting there an advantage to the older formats or is this just for compatibility with custom photo editing tools?

Oh no you’re right I was thinking of ex

I get that but also can be kinda nice to have density so that you can read more of the program on a single display.

Ahhh Hank Green why must you serve as my example:

Hmm didn’t consider AAVE. Off the top of my hear I can’t. Most occurrences of the mix up that I’ve seem have been in conversations at work, or news articles.

So datum would be a singular piece of data. But it gets confusing and varies based on what you’re talking about. If you have a database filled with n files, each having m ints, then you can say that each of these files is a datum of that database, but at the same time, each of these datum is data; with each of the ints being datum. But then each of the ints had multiple bits, so the ints themselves are data. So it depends which level you’re talking about.

There is an epidemic of people mixing up the usage of the words “is” and “are”. Use “are” as the general catchall word.

For third person singular subjects use “is”.

There is a game. There are games.

Uncountable things use “is”.

There is the forest. There are the trees.

Are there people? Is there a person.

Are we there yet. Is our destination close?

If the subject uses a definite number use “are”.

The team is going to the game.

The fourteen players are going to the game.

Our town has a Maytrix.

Blue olives? Ive only heard of green and black

Codeday Hackathon back in high school.

So were all a bit awkward at socializing because we’ve had less practice at it. Add onto this the fear that women feel due to bad men, and the worry that the good men feel about being perceived as one of the bad men and it gets difficult. My advice is to stop worrying about romance for a little bit and let it come to you.

Focus on becoming more social in non romantic ways; it’s a lot easier.

If your not at the point of maturity that you can be platonic friends with a straight woman (not knocking you just some straight people aren’t especially if they’re love starved), then try and befriend a local lesbian, they can teach you a lot about women’s perspectives.

You’ll eventually find that women, by in large, are just people born into a certain set of circumstances. It wont be easy, but once you are confident in your own skin and stop worrying romance will probably find you. Good luck!

Dude guys look at voting records it hasnt been like overwhelmingly the same party in power right so there are people every few years that flip like 30 points or more. So at most the people your blaming in social change are like 30-35% of the pipulation, otherwise we would be that much more liberal or conservative. So blaming generations is like blaming the murder on the bystanders. The only people we have to blame are these idiots transitory or not that get played like suckers for the advertising capability of either side.

The problem here is structural. For president especially a 3rd party candidate is nothing more than a spoiler. It’s less so if they can win for the house or senate. I would whole heartedly agree with you if the Us had a parliamentary or ranked choice. But we don’t and until we do; with the demo crates it’s a slightly more likely, then just vote for the least fascist that has a chance to win. Use your 3rd party vote in the primaries.

Gotos are cool, it’s the way assembly works, if your mind likes them then more power to you. But if you work on teams then it’s a nogoto. Most of the functionality can be replaced with things that most people find easier. Just enjoy your time with and don’t ever is Kotlin. Fucking let me fucking return. I see them now those snooty opinionated safety fanatics “ooooh it will be so elegant in the closures the last value will be the return” bs.

Sometimes you’re overwhelmed, and that’s ok, if the person is toxic then it’s ok to ghost them. However, if you just don’t enjoy their conversation, or have better things to do, as an adult you have the moral obligation to let them know you’re not going to be responding. It’s as easy as “I’m busy so won’t be able to respond to messages as frequently”. It’s not hard, and it’s nice, and it keeps people from feeling sad. If they react to that message in a bad way then that’s on them.

Edit(this does depend on communication style though, I have some friends that we just send each other messages every few months like pen pals in days of yore)

I’ve seen some of your posts and comments and they are nuanced. However I take a slightly issue with “Communists support”. This is the internet, there are many voices, so while I don’t think you’re one of these people, they do exist, and they deserve being made fun of.

Honestly this description is sorta spot on made me chuckle— I’m always on the fence whether it’s this or just nation states trying to sway popular opinion.
