Yeah, I have to wrap up what I’m working on so that I can be available for the “quick meeting” which usually means I’m doing nothing for 15-20 minutes as I can’t get started on anything else. If I’m caught not doing well, I get in trouble for the productivity, so I have to pretend.

When the 5-10 minute meeting runs closer to 45, I’m out an hour I could have been working.

Not the end of the world, but when we have these at least once, if not twice a day…

There’s an road with an intersection exactly like this that I commute to work on everyday, with the only difference being that it has a 35 mph limit.

Upon reflection though, when I have been in the leftmost car’s position, I have never ever turned left onto the three lane road. Still though, this road is not usually busy and you can easily see over the road division.

I have seen people floor it just barely in front of me when they turn to the left though, but that’s just because they’re impatient, not because someone waved them on.

“Xbox…not a platform for fans of Japanese games”.

Are people really surprised by this?

What big Japanese games have ever been exclusively for Xbox?

Blue Dragon? Lost Odyssey? Both of which would have been more successful on Playstation, or at the very least whatever Nintendo console was relevant then.

Honestly, it just a bad time to be a fan of Japanese games in general.

No one in Japan has an Xbox and the vast majority of people outside of Japan with one didn’t buy it to play anything Japanese (nor have they ever).

Anything getting released on Playstation out of Japan is getting censored one way or another. Anything weird or crazy or violent or sexual is fine in Western developed games, but when it comes to Asian ones, then it’s too much. It’s almost as if Sony hates Asians.

Nintendo’s hardware is so old, you’ll be lucky to get more that 20 FPS on anything multiplatform, and no one wants to make anything exclusive for it because they have to compete against Nintendo.

And if it’s on PC, it’s either a terrible console port or isn’t made because no one in Japan games on PC.

Why am I a bigot?

Because pedos hiding in the Boy Scouts have a wider selection of targets?

Because Girl Scouts exist, so girls can join that organization to do all of the things Boy Scouts can do?

Because the only thing anyone attributes to Girl Scouts are their cookies?

What am I wrong on?

Nice, so now predators that prefer little girls will have more reign.

And what about the Girl Scouts? Can we start letting boys in there to start selling cookies and whatever the hell else they do?

These incessant, full-screen upgrade ads, with no way of canceling other than a small “Remind me later” tucked away in the corner, where the final straw from me switching to Linux.

Scan a barcode next to the hole, insert bolt, wrench applies correct force for the piece.

The why not just have the barcode have all of that information encoded in it and not reference a database on a network?

I’m a hobbyist digital artist and have had to do a handful of graphic design projects for my mundane, non-art-in-anyway job.

As our computers are locked down Windows PCs, I’ve had to manage with MSPaint. It’s always taken me double the time as on any other program or app, and I have been wishing it had layers for years.

Since this update is Windows 11 only, I’ll have to for my company to upgrade, so I can look forward to layers in maybe 5 years.
