  • What phrases/sentences instantly reveal someone as a chud?

  • you chose to. nobody forced you. you made that choice. your convenience was a higher priority than others' safety.

    fuck you for pretending you had to get a car with blinding headlights. you know it's disingenuous.

    • you have options. you can buy a used car that doesn't have them. you can pay to retrofit safe headlights on. you can angle them wayyyy the fuck down so they never blind anybody, even on bumps and hills. you can tint them to limit the harshness. from your comment, I am assuming you've done none of these things

  • yes, it is

    modern headlights often use the exact same light for the "low" and "high" beams. same intensity, just aimed lower and higher, not lower and higher power.

    as a result, because y'know how roads aren't fucking flat and shit, yeah so they inevitably shine directly into your face all the fucking time because like there's lots of cars and you're driving for more than two minutes at a time, and so you get blinded

    people will claim it's just poorly adjusted headlights or retrofitted LEDs in halogen housings - it's those, too, but not JUST those, and the primary cause is that they're just too fucking bright. the regulations have not caught up. manufacturers get higher safety ratings for brighter lights that blind the oncoming drivers of 5000lb vehicles. it's fucked. people will tell you "oh matrix headlights will solve this" or that autodetecting headlights work great - no, they won't, and no, they don't. they're too fucking bright. just make them less bright

    some of the dumbest shit I have ever seen in my life is people reconciling the concept of their headlights being so goddamn bright that they need to be angled down to prevent blinding people and their headlights not being able to shine far down the road to show where they are driving. like if you just made the lights the same as they were in 2012, you would be able to see farther down the road. it's fucked.

  • could you maybe expand on pretty much every single sentence you wrote

    I'd love to read it

  • a coworker invited me to his company GitHub team or something recently, and I tried to join several times. each time, I got stuck with a 10 question test to "verify I was human". it was not quick. eventually, I had time to actually complete it without timing out.

    after completing it correctly twice without success, I gave up

  • I do that too sometimes lol but I'm just not a fan

    if it were actual releases, yeah totally. but it's just temporary files

  • so I actually use various different systems depending on my mood that day.

    maybe I add a dash, maybe I use another decimal, maybe I use alpha characters.

    none of it matters because they're wiped out a few hours later

  • Pope Leo XIV asks priests to stop using AI tools like ChatGPT to write sermons

    Jump

  • I am not religious. I think sermons can be useful.

    a sermon is to discuss current events and remind people to behave well, among other things. a good sermon is somewhat personal, related to the community, and meaningful. knowing that the person in front of you, whom you presumably respect, is saying things that they wrote and believe and spent effort forming the wording of, that has weight. some dude regurgitating AI slop removes all of that meaning.

  • that's with the assumption that the smallest increment was used every time

    I sometimes increment things by adding the next decimal place

    note: I am not a developer, just a dude making tools at work. but I somehow always end up incrementing something now and then from 1.21 to 1.211 because I wanted to avoid the "1.21 new actually newest" situation and bumping to 1.22 didn't make sense. it's like temporary versioning for me, WIP files
