Are you saying id-gaff or I-D-G-A-F?

That would tend to suggest that it would also do alright in compost doesn’t it?

For me it was growing up with religious fanatic parents who taught us to interpret the “wrong” emotions as moral failings.

I don’t know where you’re at in your life. Maybe you do need to learn to control your emotions more. But also consider learning to accept your emotions, learn what they are telling you, and find a healthy way to process them.

And if you have people in your life who can’t deal with you having emotions, you may need to evaluate that as well.

A few months ago I was doing dishes and for some reason thought about my age and I literally couldn’t remember if I’d hit 50 yet. Had to do the math to remember I’m 45 and that’s quite a ways off. That’s an outlier for sure, but yeah I forget.

It just doesn’t come up often. There are fewer ands fewer markers. Before your 20s you’ve got hitting double digits, becoming a teenager, sweet 16, becoming an “adult”, then not being a teenager any more. In your 20s you’ve got becoming an adult again (and maybe being able to drink if 21 is your drinking age), and then maybe saving money on insurance at 25 if that even matters to you. Then nothing. You might demarcate 30, but nothing really changes. In many senses now it’s “just a number” and the individual increments fail to matter. There’s no differential reinforcement to remembering where you are on the number line.

how the hell else do you close your sandwich?!

I guess need is debatable, but lube makes it better anyway. Why wouldn’t you want lube?

You make some decent points. But I think the problem with this post and basically all of the comments is overgeneralization.

Like, right you shouldn’t sing about rimjobs in Denny’s at 10:30am (since you said you’re an old person, I assume this is where and when you have lunch).

The image in this post starts with “but I call everyone dude” which can reasonably be interpreted as a response to someone objecting to being called “dude”. If you insist on calling someone something that they’ve told you they don’t like, then you’re an asshole.

Then the text of this post strays off from that a bit. You don’t need to prejudge people and ask them certain questions based on what those people usually prefer. Go about your life, be excellent to each other, and when someone shares something about themselves with you be considerate about it.

There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.

And if you work somewhere where shitty people are never fired, it’s probably a good time to find another job. Unless, you know, you’re a shitty person and want job security.

I hope no one ever seriously uses that, because he suggested it himself.

I just discovered him a couple months ago, and basically just yes, this is the level of detail that I need.

Edit: also, I’ve wanted a heat pump since I was a kid, so, ya know…

Woah, I grew up in Portland, do they really call it soda there now? That’s wild.

Wow that’s awful. My highest rated comments on Reddit all seemed to be about a personal tragedy, so I quit going to look at my comment scores. Glad I’m not there to experience this.

Common among the electronics hobbyists that OP mentioned as well, leads are what you call the connections to discrete components or IC’s.

Well that can’t be true, everything I see when I look around is in the US.

I don’t actually know all that much about it, but the anarchists that I know are all about communities and mutual support and stuff. So I guess they think government is bad and communities supporting each other is good.

Personally I wonder what they’d call it when a community gets really good at providing a particular type of support and they agree to pool their resources to efficiently provide said support to all members of the community.

Ironically, that’s like the one thing I’ve learned to do in Vim.

Yes, it’s a bad take; what’s actually demonstrated here though is that you are likely to make friends that you have stuff in common with.

She discovered she was trans. Note that the friend was referred to as “he” in the first post, then the second post was “…what happened to her.” Additionally, 90% of her friends were apparently trans already because she gravitated to them because either consciously or subconsciously she recognized their common experience.

You mean like this? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59de53e6f7e0ab6e4c7f7fc3/1513882656677-QG9NA0AOQRA3PTLAPWAX/MOOD.png?format=1500w

I have a poster of this, it’s actually pretty useful.

I wish you got that money too.
