  Damn, hope you graduate to Third Grade by 40!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's always been there for me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t know that the kid hasn’t already told the mom about the accident. It’s not like she can come pick the kid up, it was her car that was crashed. Relying on a parent and asking them for help in a time of need doesn’t mean the kid isn’t also going to take responsibility. But the parent saying that fishing is more important is absolutely ludicrous. Sure, maybe the dad is too far away to be able to help at the moment, but he said he’s too busy to even talk (yet not busy enough to prevent sending those texts).

  The reasoning I moved from Windows to Linux was this right here.

  If I’m going to be fighting with Windows anyway, because of the registry giving me issues, then the drawback of “but Linux hard! You have to configure things!” was moot.

  Perhaps the gravity head should be a snail then

  I heard it in his voice before I even read “Syndrome”. Idk, maybe I saw the name and my subconscious recognized it before I was aware of reading it, but it fits him too well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe that works for internal and business communications, but if it is communication externally with clients there are a lot of people that just don’t answer their phone. Sometimes it is important stuff, and sometimes there are followup questions.

  “XYZ is no longer available. Would you like ABC instead?
  How many of ABC would you like?”

  I knew it, I’m surrounded by Assholes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Korean BBQ places are meant as the experience and the prep of the food beforehand. You don’t just go to one because “I want some lunch”, you go for the social aspect with a group, like going out to a bar vs drinking beer at home.

  Now, that isn’t for everyone, and I get that. But it’s different than just a typical restaurante.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teachers warn AI is impacting students' critical thinking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Something rubs the the wrong way about how the teacher presented that problem. Was the lesson supposed to be “don’t believe anything unless you can verify it yourself”? In his example, he was the unreliable source. I’m assuming he was infering the paper can also be an unreliable source? I’m hoping he went into the importance of checking multiple, credible sources to get a larger picture, rather than just leaving it at “you always might be lied to”. A blanket “don’t trust so-called authorities for facts” is how we end up with people questioning vaccines and flat earthers turning from satire to something troubling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve switched over to mostly wireless charging, but have to say I’m not completely convinced of it yet. I switched phones in part because my old phone’s battery started having issues and the charging port became loose. I want to prevent that happening on my new phone for as long as I can, so I’m using wireless charging for the most part.

  Though wired charging is still so much faster and more efficient. If I really need a charge, or I’m in a hurry, I plug the phone in to charge. I just try to be in the habit of setting my phone on the charging pad when I get home from work.
