The problem is it isn't "good" thumbnails. It's that stupid fucking, "who farted?" face. Or more often for young women, it's "Uh-oh, I did a bad thing" face. I agree, race to the bottom of the

I definitely agree - the level of formality is significantly increased, even over Slack, because of the "permanence" you referenced. I switched teams 4 months ago (old team dissolved in a merger) into an area where I don't ha

No, I really was asking a question. I don't know, was the phrase "All Lives Matter" in common circulation, before "Black Lives Matter" came around? I really do not know, that's why I asked

I'm pretty ignorant of this, but was the phrase "All Lives Matter" really out and about in normal use for a long time? Or did it rise in popular use after "Black Lives Matter"? If it's the first one, yeah I ag

Honestly I feel like the failing is one of media literacy and critical thinking, as opposed to trust in institutions, as you propose. On the side of the media, it's a sortof cynical appraisal of their readers/viewers ("It&#x

Interesting. I think it might be a matter of what "leftists" you hang around with/are exposed to, and just possibly how much time you spend on Twitter (a personal bugbear of mine). Most of my friends consider themselves pret

It's always been my understanding that a tv tuned to a dead channel was that solid grey color, like when the transmitter is powered on but there is no picture being sent. In other words, not the same thing as just setting the receiver

I love Gibson but prefer the Bridge Trilogy over the Sprawl Trilogy. It's a lot closer to what you're describing, and the characters are way more interesting. Characters in the Sprawl seem so two-dimensional to me.

Yeah I guess it depends on what you consider a distraction. Distractions, for me, more than just "background noise", are something that demands my attention. Those can be explicit (somebody coming into my office and talking to me

The reality is I am simply not as productive working from home. It is difficult for me to accept this and continue to work from home because of imposter syndrome and my feeling that I would be a better developer if I didn't work from

I remember reading that, back in the day. I wonder what Fisher would think of Russell Brand these days. That dude has really gone off the deep end, it's sad. Also in all these critiques of wokeness, the conversation always seems to i

I wasn't really into MySpace much in those days. I didn't have many friends and I never quite figured out how to make friends there. When Facebook came along, I was inundated with friends and the utility was lost on me there, to

When my first child was born, I packed up the darkroom because I couldn't afford to set aside several hours in a shot for printing. Went to digital and it basically killed the love of photography for me. It's just too easy to ta

Yes. This happens at my shop all the time and it's absolutely terrible. Each sprint starts out positive and ends with panic attacks.

I personally don't understand why 'last mile' is such a big deal. Personally I would rather just order on walmart.com, have it ready for me to pick up at the store. If I really want it, I can go get it the moment I get the

This is true, but unfortunately the new reality. Imagine when "deep fakes" etc become much more mainstream. You can't rely on one single source of information. You're going to have to get used to checking the sources,

I know this post is a day old, so nobody probably will read it anymore, but I am still curious. All this stuff sounds interesting to me (buying and learning new equipment/techniques/etc) and I can see the possible benefits of emer

I call bullshit. This is simply a case of the police not doing their job. I filed a police report. Gave them all the necessary information they need to do their f'ing job. And it wasn't like I was talking to a homicide cop, tr

So this is just anecdotal, but here's my 'running and car broken into story': I parked next to a busy dog park and went for my run. Came back to broken window. There was a lady there who took pictures of the perpetrators a
