I’ve been watching a lot of Scrabble videos on YouTube. I don’t know why as I’ve never played the game … however, there’s a phenomenon where the best players in the world are challenging really obvious words because of the quirks of the language.

In the video below you can see an example of where someone challenged “bus” because “bu” isn’t one of the many two-letter words they’ve memorized and so pluralizing it is also invalid.

Just started Pluribus, I really like it so far.

Reminds me of this meme:

Met a director of my company in the UK that made a joke about vegans. I said, say what you want but they’re good for the climate! He went off on me about how climate change was fake. I tried my best to just move onto a different topic but he just kept going at me and ended it with: “you started it” … to which I said, “yes and let’s move on shall we?”

They’re not worth the effort.

In software you have these former “elites” like Uncle Bob and DHH who used to talk about software quality just brag about how it’s all useless now and to just vibe everything. (I think Bob said some shit like there only being 1 year left for us). So when you have these types of “elite” people saying it, it pollutes the field on top of it as well.

(I’m using the word elite unseriously, to be clear)

No way! THIS Jerry Seinfeld is pro-genocide??

Seriously though, F Jerry … his response to the “heckler” talk about dead Palestinian kids is gross.

Be vague, but can you tell us what industry you work in?

I think I remember seeing an interview with Katherine Ryan where she mentioned him?

Found it! It was with Louis Theroux, this vid has ghetto quality though: https://youtu.be/ubMtmQlNy4w

British citizen that moved back to Canada a few years ago. I’d ask my friends to walk a certain distance and they’re utterly bewildered that I’d walk. I also don’t need to wait 5 minutes for a closer parking spot, I can park where it’s free and walk less than a minute.

I’ve changed them quite a bit and now they’ve gotten into running which is nice.

I had an old laptop that I didn’t swap over yet just because I had a few things set up and didn’t feel like moving it. It then harassed me to move to Windows 11. Also, when I tried to remote desktop, it was like, you gotta pay me for professional edition.

I’ve paid for Windows so many damned times, so I was like screw it and put Mint on it and donated to it as well.

I remember when Joe Rogan was going off on Biden for saying something stupid about naval ships or war or something. Then kept saying how he’s not suited for office.

Turns out Biden was quoting Trump.

Rogan obviously backpedaled on that statement being suitable for the office of the president of course.

RFK went on again?

Not gonna lie, I don’t wanna deal with stuff. Unless they’re actively bothering me then I’m gonna leave it alone. For all I know someone is recording and gonna put my reaction online or some shit.

Is there much gluten in ice cream? Honest question, I’m lactose intolerant so I don’t partake that often.

I mean, this read sarcastic, but it seems Lemmy disagrees.

Somebody put all the toxic foods Americans had to eat in a pic.

🥶 🍑 everyone

Can probably trade it for a sand dollar or two perhaps.

lol … I paid for an invitation. To be fair, I didn’t “have” to pay but I decided to buy the person who invited me from this gaming discord a game on their wishlist as a thank you.

I enjoy Deadlock but I know I dont’ have the fundamental mechanics to go very far with the game.
