Darn… I was going to make the same joke!

I am a mid to early melenial. I was born in 1986. My first time concerned about the future was y2k. Yes, nothing ended up happening but it was a lot of doom and gloom(and long hours for the people preventing the doom and gloom becoming reality). I remember freshman year of hs when September 11th happened. Most of my friends graduated college in 2008-2009 during the financial collapse. We recover but significantly struggling more than expected and more than our parents. Now in the background there is still the Afghanistan and Iraq wars which seem to be at a stale mate.

The you have the chronic issues… Aids appeared in the 80s, probably never to leave. Global warming… Need I say more?.. The multiple diseases spreading like Sars.

Then you have the crazies pushing that a apocalypse will occur in 2012.

We get out of that all and enter into trump. Then covid 19 occurs. Now inflation.

What do we have to look forward to? The housing bubble collapse. Increase global warming. Automation reshaping the job land scape. The loss of the ability to truly own something. The same wage as 30 years ago with prices exponentially growing.

It was the golden age before mellenials… We just hung on through the downfall…

Fuck now I’m depressed…

Yes, but how many of these niche communities are there? Hell, lemmy itself is a niche community and everybody here should take a stand against this sort of stuff occurring here.

You forgot to include the most important phrase… “I use arch BTW” :)

So really it’s in a few days iwfu(I will fuck up)

Not me but a former Co worker was bitten by something unknown. He went out fishing, I don’t know if alcohol was included but I wouldn’t be surprised. He got home and noticed two puncture wounds on the back of his leg. Over the next few days his leg really hurt, he went to the doctor was basically told it’s just a little inflamed here’s some ibuprofen.

Another week goes by still in pain so he goes back. Might be a mild infection heres some antibiotics.

A few days go by and pain is getting worse. He goes to hospital. The check him out, he is going into sepsis and his kidneys and liver are shutting down. They put him in a medical induced coma. Once they stabilize him they run more tests, they find stage 4 lung cancer. They send him to some cancer hospital in Kentucky. He arrives late at night(still in coma). They put him in a room. They check on him the next morning and he is dead.

Sure Leslie, even if you still occasionally cough I think you should stop taking nyquill…

Granted but still bad naming convension. In comparison which is better Playstation 4 or Playstation 5?

Yeah, I understand the whole different kernal thing but that’s the type of thing that the average consumer shouldn’t have to know to follow your program naming scheme.

Yes… And the sequels? I still don’t know if Xbox one s or x box one x is the higher end model…

I have no love for Microsoft but their naming is one of the worst parts… Let’s make a game console! We’ll call it Xbox!.. That sold well let make another! We’ll call it xbox360… Time for a refresh on the gaming console! We’ll call it Xbox one… Another refresh but this time let’s make two versions! We’ll call them Xbox one series s and x box one series s!

Or our popular ide is bloated and people are asking for a light weight ide… What’s our current ide called? Visual studio but alot of people abbreviate it to vs! Let’s call the new one vscode! Do they have anything in common or share functionality or shortcuts? No

Don’t get me started on windows… 3.1… 95…nt…98…2000…me…vista…7…8…10…11 like wtf???

I disagree… If they eliminate schools then mother’s would have to stay home with the kids. That would mean less current wage slaves.

Plus then the family would control what the kids are taught instead of the kids learning what they want them to learn.

Like the idea but you’re a little late…

Fmla only means you won’t get fired, not that you will be paid.

This is out of curiosity but if someone casts a absentee ballot and then dies before the vote is counted, does it still count?

On one hand I see “dead people shouldn’t vote” but on the other “he voted when he was alive and it was only counted when he was dead”?

I know this situation doesn’t normally come up but is there legal precedence?

To be clear I respect and Carter and hope he is still alive for quite some time but him being in hospice and voting brought the question to mind.

I think the name of X-Files should be Sully-Ed!!

I’m not a professional but sounds like your psychiatrist answered your question. When you don’t feel like everyone wants to do something to you… You are getting better.

Ok, they got me on the second one… I was seriously wondering how epic had their own judge and it wasn’t conflict of interest.

Where I work we do a mix… Some 4 days, 10 hrs each, some 5days 8 hrs each.

Production is typically 4/10 and most other people are 5/8. This allows the other groups a day where production isn’t running and other things can happen, like maintaining equipment and running tests without interfering with production schedules. While not requiring support to come in on a Saturday or Sunday.

It works out pretty well for us, except when production does ot on Fridays for weeks in a row and the other stuff can’t get done…

Python is named after Monty python and not the snake
