I love Akira but Kaneda has serious plot armor. He gets shot at by soldiers with automatic weapons countless times and survives. That and the collapsing buildings, psychics, and other hazards he just shrugs off. Meanwhile, Chiyoko gets stabbed by some random scumbag.

People hear take the phrase “you can’t compare apples and oranges” and get confused as to why you wouldn’t be allowed to compare two fruits. But I think the intended meaning of that phrase is more like “you cannot compare apples to oranges as if they are the same thing/category”. So imagine you’re comparing apples with other apples and someone wants to bring up how oranges fare in the considerations. You may be inclined to respond “Sorry, those are too different to apply here” which is what the original phrase intended to convey. Which of course nowadays is sometimes shortened to someone quipping “apples and oranges, mate” and leaving it at that.

I interviewed for a fintech startup once and they were the most condescending assholes I’ve ever had the displeasure of interacting with. Anecdotal, but they really left an impression.

No cons except leprechauns.

Never had a problem with mine and I have smacked them into solid objects pretty hard a few times.

People tend to equate ownership with protections. So they think “owning” land (e.g. property with a house) allows them safety from things like “other random people living too close to me”.

Therefore, if they didn’t own their property, another person might start cohabiting with them, steal from them, harm them, etc, and they would be powerless to prevent this scenario.

This isn’t to say that this is correct, but this is the reality people have bought into. So even if they don’t own their workplace, nobody technically “owning” the workplace feels less secure (to them) than if it were “owned”.

Again, this is not my disposition, but one that I have come to understand many people hold.

It’s actually pretty well optimized… For loading times. My frame rate is very unstable and areas where you build a lot of stuff really suffer in the FPS department.

But fast travel loads you in basically instantly which is nice.

I’d like to propose “Clickorice” be picked up as an OS/app name please.

Crows be eatin good out here

The oceanic volcanic vent dwellers might survive.

The dog thinks it looks and smells like dog food at any stage of the cooking process.

Humans are weird and UX wants the web app to behave how humans expect it to behave. That’s how we got here. There’s a whole host of reasons why manipulating browser history is awful, but here we are.

Bike or walk to the store. Suddenly powdered milk seems like a good idea.

Because if we make them feel valued they might give you some money. Do this enough times and you can be a rich asshole too!

Gonna tell my mom I got a government job.

Spamalot. I heard some negative things and wasn’t that excited to see it. However, it was actually quite good and I had a lot of fun.

Buncha fuckin’ clowns wanting video game ranks they didn’t even earn. So pointless.

My employer has been axing so many high level engineers it’s not even funny. I think that’s terrible for engineer morale. Why would you want to strive to improve and get promoted if it just makes you “too expensive to keep on payroll”?

When I watched Spaceballs for the first time, the next thing I did was start the movie over and watch it again.
