Red pill. You can make money, but you can’t make time.

Absolutely. As someone who manages a small team, my duties are advocating for the people who work for me, listening to the people closest to the problem, mediating disputes between people with different solutions, and ensuring we are all working towards the same overall goals. Most of the success of the team is directly attributed to their work. My biggest contribution is making sure they have what they need to do their job.

Right, I get that it’s not grammatically correct in that context, but the word itself is valid. I had always thought “learnt” was akin to “ain’t”, but that’s not the case. Both “learned” and “learnt” are correct, but the latter is less commonly used in the US.

I’ve heard it used in a sentence like “When I was a boy, my daddy done learnt me a thing or two about fishin’”. Which is why it’s associated with southern slang, I think. That’s my hypothesis anyway.

Fun fact, related to this: learned and learnt are also both correct. I always assumed learnt was a redneck thing (I’m from the south), but it turns out the Brits use it too. Who knew?

As an American, I think the moment I said “which one” when asked if I had heard about the mass shooting in wherever it was I can’t even remember now, that was when I realized how fucked our gun policies are.

Daaamn. I never thought of that. Voter fraud confirmed.

Based on the 2020 US election, we know at least 74,222,958 people that fall under the seagull intelligence standard.

I leave them up, but edit to say what I think about it now. I value transparency and the willingness to change your mind when presented with new facts or apologize for being wrong, and I want to set an example for others to see. I’ve been an ass and said things I regret later, and I’ll do it again I’m sure.

Oh, I didn’t know that. Thanks for clarifying.

The only way it becomes standard is when it isn’t profitable. We can scream all we want, but people still buy that crap.

Games aren’t objectively better or worse than they used to be. AAA devs can release unfinished trash and patch it later, which I think is super annoying, but we enable this behavior when we pre-order games simply because it’s the next iteration of our favorite series instead of just waiting to hear the impressions of other gamers.

Also, as an adult I lack the time and patience to play the same kinds of games I used to play, so I’ve had to adjust my play style to suit my schedule better. That means I enjoy casual singleplayer games more than what I used to play growing up. It also means you have to avoid the temptation to buy games you like, but you know damn well you won’t ever actually play.

I’m aware of the existence and superiority of maple syrup. I only use Aunt Jemima in this example because that’s what oversweetened tea tastes like to me: shit.

The trick is to order half sweet/half unsweet. Otherwise you get Aunt Jemima on ice.
