  • how would you deal with a relative yelling to you you killed his father just because you're the last nurse who treated him?

    Jump

  • You did the right thing, the person was angry with no real outlet for it, so their brain found someone to blame to release that tension. They were not thinking rationally and attempts to argue would have been stonewalled and probably would have escalated things.

    This is not a justification for their behaviour, it was despicable and wrong. More so my opinion of why anything other than what you did was correct.

    I’m really sorry.

  • The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

    Jump

  • Look, we can’t have TVs that last 15 years anymore!

    We need to keep people buying every year or two. Otherwise line not go up! Don’t you understand that this is about protecting The Economy?!

    Nestlé are evil, exploitative assholes who are directly and intentionally responsible for many innocent deaths.

  • That’s freedom.

  • Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?

    Jump

  • Acronyms vs Initialisms

    No one is going to try pronounce Fbi, it’s awkward.

    There are terms that bridge the Acronym/Initialism divide. SQL-Sequel, URL-Earl and GUI-Gooey are some that come up fairly regularly in my line of work.

    The bottom line is; Language is used to communicate concepts. We are lazy and do it as efficiently as we can get away with. The rules have changed a LOT to get us where we are today. It would be blind hubris to think the change will stop just because we don’t like it.

  • India and EU clinch the 'mother of all deals' in a historic free trade agreement

    Jump

  • My partner has been very bullish on India’s economy in the future. I think the EU is proving her right.

  • How good is a Nothing Phone?

    Jump

  • I dunno man.

    Company: Here’s a change.

    Users: This sucks!

    Company: Ok, let’s roll that back.

    If the company were Apple, the change would stick. If it were Microsoft, the change would be rolled back for 2 weeks and then quietly re added.

  • If you’re on a PIP, it’s going to take a literal miracle to succeed.

    Take the sevvy, get your head straightened out and talk about how you left this job to focus on your mental health in your next interview.

  • is there any reason to try CachyOS over EndeavourOS or are they pretty much the same?

    Jump

  • I have the same question. I game, write code, browse the internet and all sorts on Bazzite. (I actually moved from Pop to Bazzite because I couldn’t get my storage hdd to mount and stay that way on Pop (I am a Linux n00b, in case that wasn’t obvious. ))

  • With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes?

    Jump

  • No to self defence. You learning self defence will only provoke a stronger response from the guys who will go up to and beyond killing you, and may call in actual military support if required.

    Civil disobedience feels like a better approach. Forming human walls, information networks and rapid support responses slow and mitigate attacks on your community.

    Applying pressure to your representatives also can help.

  • Ok, maybe a warm take, but Jordan’s books are not great. The first 2-3 are great. But then it fucking drags. Sanderson does a decent job wrapping things up, but there is so much fucking fluff that was just unnecessary.

    I will, however, protest having Padin Fain be a Forsaken. That was a definite misstep imo. Fain is supposed to be a chaotic 3rd party who can use the tools of the Forsaken but is explicitly not aligned with them.

    Otherwise, season 2 was a big step up from s1. Haven’t gotten around to s3, since it got canned.

  • I found the first episode so tropey and…. predictable isn’t the right word, but you knew who was about to get bit even through it didn’t make sense. Rote? Clumsy? Something something. I also didn’t make it past ep1
