Doesn’t change the fact that people think it’s the same thing lol

SWIFT is not a programming language it’s a trading protocol that runs the global financial markets which I’m working very hard to forget but still it deserves respect.

Ask your mom for me. She knows 😏

As in parents or spouse and kids?

Everything will kill you in excess. Live life and don’t be a Debbie Downer.

I mean it sucks and I drink coke (it’s my mix for booze) but it’s a welcome change (price increase). Soda pop should not be drunk as frequently as it is by people and anything to make it less common is a welcome change IMHO. If becoming more cost prohibitive to people makes them drink it less that’s not a bad thing

Now the challenge becomes, because America is becoming a 3rd world shithole it’s possible that coke is the only safe drink because thanks to the EPA being gutted over decades water isn’t safe in many areas due to contamination. That’s not cool.

Perl and regex are modern day black magic

You’re that afraid of the code you wrote 10 years ago too eh? 🤣

My son asked me this yesterday. Japan.

For me I disassociate. I know the people around me by and large love and/or care for me and if shit hit the fan I’m fine.

The news is just entertainment. I love watching the news. I love politics. Sometimes it’s surreal and scary but in no ways do I feel worried. I worry for those around me because they may not be able to protect themselves due to age or capacity but then that’s why I’m there if required.

I revel in being the 60 year old asshole. 13 more years!

Shhh that’s not important now. My goal is to outlive all of you, that’s my solace.

See what I enjoy about this comment is all things considered there’s a high likelihood you will live past the age of 60 at which point I hope younger people then call you a piece of shit on the daily simply because of your age. LOL

True love. I was with my soulmate and she left me. My heart never healed and it’s been over 4 years.

If you’re 20, YMMV but for me, please get into a trade.

Just be smart and plan your exit. Your body will only take so much so trade until your body has enough then get into teaching whatever trade you got into.

My neighbours son is doing this now. HVAC career is done he’s in teachers college now to start his second career.

FWIW this is my plan now too. I’m pretty much done with IT. I’m investigating teaching now, or being a porter at a hospital.
