I bet you hug your work colleagues you sicko

end up smiling at strangers by accident.

You monster!

there it is!

good way to get positive ID on some of the yet unidentified algae bloom wakes,

need more context for what appears to be a pretty clever comment

I had double-press issues a lot which were maddening, but I uodated the firmware and it went away

I just watched this video of Copyparty:

and I can quite solemnly say – as an emacs user mind you – sometimes you just want a self-contained tool under 1MB that does everything

Yep, went with banana - purely for the clackety clack. I am a child

I’m at my machine 12+ hours a day, coding, data analysis, grant writing, etc.
I might play some online games too

I didn’t see any of the hype for the Barbie movie (apparently they painted streets in London pink?), but I just went in and saw it. Awesome film

Also: A laser tape measure. I always heard about people ranting about them, and often thought “I get it I get it you’re a child who likes shiny things”, but I finally got one and it is one of my most prized possessions. I can now find out the distance to things like THAT.

Didn’t live up the hype: I caved in and got a mechanical keyboard. A nice one. Keychron something such. I now have a heavy clackety-clack keyboard. That’s it. The usual plastic 15 quid keyboards I get are only every so slightly less good. Don’t buy into this fad. It’s for ASMR fanatics and their heavy wallets

That is some strong Conquistador energy these guys are vibing off… to be “educated” against your will

Tomatoes, the smaller the better

I guess, just imagine if someone who you didn’t particularly find atttactive but was friendly, said the same thing to you.

You would suddenly feel a little less liberated in your nudity, and perhaps feel the need to avoid that person, even if their intentions were not impure.

I think you meant well, and you added the nudity part to your compliment because it was such a new and profound way to suddenly see something beautiful.

Nudity usually takes on an erotic undertone, so it may genuinely have been a eureka moment for you to see something naked and beautiful outside that erotic context.

Unfortunately that undertone is there, no matter your intention, and I know you want to defend your intentions, but you would be digging a hole by doing so.

No need to spiral into complete self-doubt on whether you’re a good person or not. You know your intentions, you just goofed up on the delivery and unfortunately that made someone feel less secure.

It’s a learning experience, and you seem keen to learn, and I think just tread a bit more carefully in the future.

Thanks for sharing your story by the way, I feel like I’ve learned from it a bit myself

as well as other things, yes

I’m a master of modesty, ask me what I’m good at and I will blush and touch the back of my neck and say stuff life “well shuucks…”

Tux-based 2D super smash type game, but more of an emphasis on physics and destrucitble environments.

Similar to the Attak flash game from JohnnyTwoShoes back in the day: https://youtu.be/GjQ2cGwsktg&t=10

I was in Leipzig at -1° in snow, and you could still walk around in a t-shirt.

UK is deceptively humid, and it both chills and soaks you to the bone

Cycling on a sunny winter morning, the first five minutes suck, but afterwards it’s heaven

“there’s nothing wrong with my icecream! You can check, I have no skeletons in my closet…”

I would turn up at one of their wealthy reunions just to see what it’s about. If they seem like nice people, I’d try to get to know them. That’s it.

I don’t wanna be where I’m not wanted

well when a mommy asymptote and a daddy asymptote meet on opposite ends of an infinite grid, they give birth to a finite area that is carefully and lovingly defined, until the mommy asymptote runs away with a thick veiny fat curve that rules her world, and the daddy asymptote just stands there night-after-night watching them bisect each other
