Most people have that XKCD memorized. That one and the “I’m so meta even this acronym” one of course.

This guy is the coolest type of hacker.

very nice, thanks for the link.

Mastering nethack was one of my proudest achievements in a way that is incredibly embarrassing, but also the only people who know nethack enough to be properly embarrassed for me are also the people that might understand my pride lol.

My guess is it’s like a slur for “C-suites” aka the CEOs and CFOs and bean counters who want you to buy more games and only play them for a few days so you can spend money money on the next game.

The devs are happy if you enjoy their game but the businesmen are unhappy that you aren’t spending more money.

If I am correct on this crazy interpretation then I don’t know if I should be proud or ashamed.

lmao yeah it’s a Ken Burns documentary where we are getting the first hand accounts of the civil war because we can’t go back and watch the reply of the actual events but instead it’s a comment thread about a tweet about a movie about a book.

“Punctuation yes, emoji no” sounds like something a grade school teacher would have embroidered on a throw pillow.

Yes but you haven’t heard this guy’s mother saying it in her native accent. It really gets the blood flowing.

Wow I actually thought it said “gods.”

“Etm” is used the same way as “etc.” It stands for “et merde” instead of “et cetera” which would mean “and shit” instead of “and others.”

Maybe read it more as “and more other shit like this” when you see it at the end of a list of a bunch of shit.

This is a setup for someone to ponder if the word “nonautological” is an autological word or not.

It is a one word encapsulation of the same paradox created by the phrase “this sentence is false.”

Make Justin Long stand in the Mac Mansion while John Hodgeman stands outside the Public Community housing.

That’s particular simulator game actually has you saving the world from some sort of Alien UFO time traveler conspiracy plot though doesn’t it? It’s not quite as mundane as some other simulator games like farming or truck driving sims.

do we know that shoppers haven’t already returned to normal now that it’s out of the current news cycle?

Yeah man, otherwise we wouldn’t be participating in this conversation right?

Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.

And my Lemmy app won’t let me edit my typos so it’s gonna be even harder to follow lol.

Just in pronunciation. Usually when you put the two O’s next to each other is affects the pronunciation of the O sound, as it does in chose/choose.

But for some reason the double O in lose/loose does not change the pronunciation of the vowel at all. It instead affects the pronunciation of the S to sound either like an “unvoiced S sound” or a “voiced Z sound.”

If I told you to pronounce “Loo” then we would all agree on what that would sound like, but if I told you to add a Z sound to the end of that “Loo” then you might say “hey you spelled lose wrong, it only has one O.”

That’s the exception to the rule that I was talking about. O sounds and OO sounds are pretty straightforward but they don’t work the way you would expect in the words “lose/loose”.

I don’t know if my explanation makes any sense if you don’t already understand what I’m talking about, but this is the reason so many people on the internet misspell the word “lose”.

The spelling of “lose/loose” is the exception to the common rule that words like “chose/choose” follow.

You skipped the part where they absolutely do not value human life or care about the suffering of others. That explains the most why this is the easiest option for them to continue wielding their power without having to compromise on any ethical or moral value in their life.

You can’t accurately (nor truthfully) look at from their point of view without adopting that specific part of their view.
