I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.
  • I think It is fair that the members of a family, that are a community living together or not, all share in the burdens of life so it is easier for everyone. But if the parents are like forcing you to pay rent, then I would just live somewhere else.

    Put in another way. It is fine if you have an adult children to say "hey, help out anyway you can so it is easier to everyone" and if they cannot figure out how to do that or they are like stuck and not progressing in life then instead of an ultimatum of "pay rent" better is a "I think you need the experience of living on your own". Again I am all for money staying in the family and much prefer that or even better they saving money to buy a place than paying rent to some shitty landlord. But anyway.

  • I don't think they assume she could have some say, I think it is just malice, a bad faith argument on their part. They know very well and also know that their base you eat it up because they already hate the other side, they just need something that resembles a reason.

  • Adblockers will stop working any minute now...
  • I started with Firefox when I was a teenager yet, and when the first chrome version dropped it was awesome so I migrated. I think I was at uni at the time and Google was seem as a good thing. Gmail was just a couple of years old and was awesome. Webmails at the time was rought.

    But chrome changed, and goodle changed. But many years into it was hard to move away. For me the biggest single problem with Firefox was that I could not kill tabs in the tabs "process manager". I keep a lot of tabs open and no browser really solved the problem of many open tabs and tabs that keept open for many weeks. A lot of websites have "memory leak" and slowly but surely grow and grow with memory usage (YouTube is one of them). So that and a bunch of tabs made the usage of the kill tab a must. Over the years I looked for extensions to both organize the tabs better and also not have to keep só much of them opened. But nothing really helped me change my bad habits. I almost migrated back to Firefox when they had the tab groups feature. But they removed and also removed some functionality that made easy to change the whole browser but was a security nightmare.

    Anyway, things have changed and I am in the process of migrating. I can kill tabs in Firefox now. I was missing the group tabs feature from chrome, because I got used to it but I think Sideberry can do that and also help manage a lot of tabs/windows and also snapshots. I use session buddy in chrome. But that fucker failed me many times and I had to recovered the lost saved sessions. That kinda leave worried with Sideberry and use more of the advanced tab management stuff. But at least I noticed today that it can auto-export the snapshots to the external FS and then no matter what happens with the extension DB I can always recover it.

    So Yeah. Took a minute but I think I am almost ready to really migrate.

    TL;DR: Getting too comfy with a closed platform is a bitch.

  • How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?
  • I also have a PS5 controller, as far as I understand, haptic feedback is not humble, it is a resistance in the triggers (L2 and R2) só a game can make pull the trigger be harder of softer depending on the situation.

    I don't know how many or which games uses it seem how many games still does not correctly display PS controller icons and etc and fallback to the MS iconography.

    As far as I know haptic and maybe the mic/phone are the only things that does not work over BT. But I also think I read that some things that does work with BT does not work over USB

  • What is your motto?
  • "I like my coffee bitter, like life"

    "If it tastes good It is not healthy"

    Just to clarify, I am not a super healthy eater. I like to use this expression when the topic comes up to point out that there is no magic and is a miserable experience to lose weight and eat better, better to come to terms with it.

    Yeah. I am not a super positive person.

  • What is your motto?
  • I used to always say that to myself in my native language. Seems to be a pretty common saying it seems. In this days I some times still say it. But I don't think I believe in it anymore.

  • Trump's ghostwriter who spent 18 months with him: "Lying is second nature to him. He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it."
  • At a previous work place a second line manager was like this. He would tell people one thing and them in meetings tell his superior something else, even with the same people present. It got to a point that people avoided meetings with the guy without someone else as witness and my manager got the habit to document the meetings and forward to all parts as an email to have a paper trail. That paper trail came in hand at least a couple of times. I didn't deal directly with the guy but people say it was exhausting. Finally the company ler him go during a season with a lot of people quiting after one too many people cited him as a reason for leave the company.

  • Harry Potter and the Nuclear launch codes
  • But IIRC that is never implied in the books and it is shown a couple of times that they know very little about technology and being very surprised by stuff like television. Which is very weird given that a non insignificant part of the wizards are from muggle families and lives among muggles.

    Whilst I loved the books, as I read I always had this question in my mind about what if the wizards approached magic with a more scientific method and if they integrated with the scientific advancements of the human world.

  • Neil rule
  • There is a Brazilian Rock Band with a great song named "Santa Claus son of a bitch" (or maybe motherfucker) here is the Google translate (with light editing) of the first couple verses:

    Santa Claus motherfucker
    Reject the wretched
    I want to kill him!
    That capitalist pig
    
    Give gifts to the rich
    And spits on the poor
    Give gifts to the rich
    And spits on the poor
    
  • I wish I knew another language
  • That is because the US does not have an official language at the federal level. Some states do though, and some only English is the official language but some do recognize Spanish and native American languages as official languages. Of course it would be nice to have a more formal approach but I was very surprised of how much stuff is written in more than one language and for Spanish in specific I think you have a very high chance of finding some employee that speaks it or they try to translate. At least in the couple of places that I have being which I admit is a small sample size
