  • Honestly no idea why someone would go around a completely unknown menu in a new unknown editor and randomly click things with caution completely out the window. Not having a copy or trying a blank project, not even reading any messages. I mean even if we don’t know it’s a nuke button, God knows what other edits it could do to your code without you knowing.

    This goes beyond rookie mistake. This is something 12 year old me would do. Same with the issue page being 90% swear words.


  • Ey! Reminds me of my middle-school years! I still can’t belive I made an entire game without a single class… Just storing info in arrays and writing in comments what location represents what data. But I was a literal child, too young to read guides or sit through “long” tutorials.

    I don’t want to sound too mean, but whenever I see anything similar at work, I wish that person get a job they’re actually good at. It’s fine and all that the company started hiring actual programmers to fix things, but the fact that the old crew still fucks shit up with senior privileges is a major grievance.



  • Curious where you live, because non of those were a thing where I live.

    Free transportation? You mean like your parents pay for it? Cus otherwise I’m confused.

    Cheap food exists outside school too. Be it canteens or homemade food.

    I’d argue that homework with parents more than kills any “free time” I had. Or rather I was the only kid that had free time, because I refused to do homework, ofc that meant getting yelled at by like every adult, but even slight freedom was worth it to me, even if it was lonely.

    And especially bad grades do indeed mean expulsion. It also means what school you’re allowed to go to, and in places like Germany even the level of education you’re allowed to reach and thus dictating your fate at such a young age. As for me, I happened to always be in the good enough range of grades, because my parents kept forcing me. If it wasn’t for their intervention, I’d have a complete fucking shit life now, just like all the kids with parents that didn’t care. It’s pure bullshit.

    School is hell. Words can’t expres how glad I am to have it behind me and I dread the day I’ll have a kid and I’ll have to see the system all over again.



  • Idk, I decided to not work on Fridays (a 20% pay reduction, but I personally feel it’s worth it) and there are like 50 weeks in a year, coupled with 5 weeks of payed vacation, since I only work 4 days that’s 50+5*4=70, which is over 2 months. And since I have no homework I can actually fucking enjoy my vacation and long weekends too!

    It just dawned on me I’m assuming you have the same work benefits as in Europe… If you live in a country that’s not blue than YIKES! I feel sorry for ya.



  • Totally agree, except for school being better. Fuck school, from the bottom of my heart. Now I at least have the freedom to allocate some free time for my self and work on 1 thing that I understand. Not do homework for a million unrelated classes until my teachers stops bullying me or I kick the bucket.



  • I miss those, when I was small we had a local store that did that for all meat products. You just said X amount of bacon. Instead of buying a million separately packaged packs that barely last 1 family breakfast. Or well, going out of my way to hit up lidl, because they’re like the only ones selling bigger packs.

    Now don’t get me wrong, butcher counters still exist, but they’re rare and many are expensive hipster shit.



  • As much as I love to hate on apple, any of this format shit is 100% Windows bullshit. It’s not just pictures, with shit like webm, or some random video codecs it’ll ask you to FUCKING BUY! But even shit like Windows only supporting some like 3 file formats from the god knows how many out there. Ever since I switched to Linux (heck, even fucking MacOS would do better) all this stopped being an issue. Fuck windows for literally only supporting their special selection of formats. There’s a good reason why the first step of many people installing windows is also Installing VLC or MUCH superior image viewers. Because Microsoft chooses to not support most things out there!





  • As a zoomer that’s old enough to be working class now. Man, my childhood was fucked. At school, being a right wing troll was the norm, at least for boys. I was too.

    The worst part is no-one cared, fucking “they’ll grow out of it” and now everyone is suddenly in shock. When I talk about it to my friend today he’s even in fucking denial about it, “Oh they didn’t actually mean that, it was all jokes”.

    And our education system doesn’t do anything to combat this shit either. Quite the opposite, the dogmatic authoritarian approach schools take coupled with zero-tolerance policies pretty much ensures people shouting this hateful shit get away with it.

    After all saying “Hitler did nothing wrong” only gets annoyed looks, gets completely brushed off as “edgy” or something. But then when someone points out that person’s shit, suddenly that’s an attack???
