Venomous: it bites you, you die.

Poisonous: you bite it, you die.

Please don’t eat the lizards, they just vibin’, doin’ lizard shit.

I think the original tweet is saying this is their every day life bc of their adhd.

Being their every day state of existence and not having any control over it is the piece that is adhd specific I believe.

Time is the one thing we all suffer through equally.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a whale gamer with 100 ships or a normal person with 1 or 2.

Those 10 minutes pass the same for us all. And it’s that consequence upon death that gives real weight, meaning and purpose to your choices.

It’s what’s meant to keep you from going, “hurr durr guns go brrrr” and shooting everyone you see on sight like a neanderthal.

The only thing I don’t agree with is the current durations given the state of the game.

Often your ship explodes through no fault of your own. They should incrementally increase wait times as the game stabilizes more on my opinion.

But in a game where death is not permanent like real life time is one of the few things that weighs on us all the same.

And yes, ofc owning more ships b/c you’re wealthier than other players does give you an advantage over other players, doesn’t invalidate my point.

If anything that’s making it more realistic, and some day 200 years from now when they implement “Death of a Spaceman” there will be harsher penalties to death that you can’t whale your way out of, forcing you to prize your life and take action accordingly.

It’s not meant to appeal to everyone. Nothing is meant to appeal to everyone.

If you don’t like it, that’s fine, don’t play, no one is forcing you.

If you disagree with the game mechanics, that’s fine, don’t play. No one is forcing you.

If the devs need to do x, y, and z to appease you as an individual or you’re going to quit, that’s fine, don’t play. No one is forcing you.

Fuck it man, indulge, it’s not the end of the world ya know?

You’re too tired to brush your teeth before bed one night you don’t stop brushing your teeth forever.

It’s okay to mess up, just get back on track the next day. It’s not all or nothing, it’s not a short-term fad die, it’s a lifestyle change, for life.

If your CICO was a line graph and yesterday was normal, today was a big spike, and tomorrow was normal, none of that shit matters when you look at the line over the length of a year of good habits.

You won’t even be able to see this one-off, single-day spike, blip, what have you. It’s a drop of water in the middle of the ocean.

Let yourself make mistakes, just acknowledge it was not the norm, and learn from it. If you bastardize failure you’re setting yourself up to fail harder due to unrealistic expectations, unsustainability, etc.

So I say fuck it. Blow your CICO up today. Just do right by yourself for the rest of the week.

When did they smear children eating lunch as welfare cheats?

They literally said they support universal lunches? Did you not read what they wrote?

If the parents are committing fraud because they make too much money to qualify for the program wouldn’t that mean if the parents were exposed then denied program benefits they would have enough money to feed their kids anyways?

I guess I don’t understand why it means kids would starve? Is the assumption the parents are evil negligible people who will refuse to feed their children if they can’t cheat the system to have their kids fed for free?

Parents who need the help still get the help and kids still eat. Parents who lied about needing the help will no longer get it and feed their kids themselves so kids still eat.

Where is starvation coming into play? And where has your foster care comment come from? I don’t understand.

NPM’s left-pad library has entered the chat

Is this a hot take? You’re absolutely correct lol.

In the summer 78F during the day but I spend most of that time in the basement because that’s where my office is and 68F at night to sleep.

During the winter 68F all day err’ day

I get these vibes when WASM introduced C# to the frontend via Blazor.

Feels wrong. Feels like it shouldn’t be possible.

But binaries on the frontend are so. cot. dayum. fast

Blazor has been my favourite framework to do my side projects in for the past couple years now.

The DNS resolution, assuming you’re just using your ISP’s DNS authority servers, is still very much known to your ISP.

They can still identify my traffic, where I’m going, what I’m browsing, etc.

With a VPN that you can trust, that emphasizes user privacy, that doesn’t store PII, that doesn’t comply with local law enforcement short of being issued a warrant, all my ISP sees is I keep routing encrypted web traffic to an IP that they can identify is a machine somewhere in the Netherlands.

And besides that they know absolutely fuck all.

Without the VPN they can identify the IPs I make https requests to belong to beehaw, belong to imgur, belong to Netflix, belong to some torrenting site, etc etc.

So fucking ecstatic to have seen that Sync for Lemmy came out today personally.

Paid for Ultra immediately without a second thought even if the app is early days I know it’s a worthwhile investment to keep ljdawson paid and caffeinated lol

Wake up between 7am and 9am.

Coffee within 20 minutes of waking up.

Second cup of coffee between 10 and 11:30 but never after 11:30 for some reason

“Breakfast” sometime between 10:30am and 12pm. (Never after 12 or I’ve missed the window and have to live with my life choices)

Latte at 2. Always 2. Without fail. Idk why, but always 2. Never before 2, rarely… rarely after 2 (but not by much) always almost exactly 2.

“Snack lunch” between 1 and 3. Whenever “the hunger” strikes. Never a full meal, always enough to be “okay” but not full. Like 200 calories or less

Dinner sometime between 6 and 7 cause of “the hunger”

Cookies sometime between 8 and 10pm.

Sleep between 12am and 2am

The whole thing when I type it out seems chaotic and not at all consistent but it’s dedicatedly been my life for years at this point and feels exceptionally routine an consistent; and I get very stressed if/when I deviate from this schedule in any major way

This is the one I came to post about. The fact there’s a library for this is so stupid to me.

I feel like it demonstrates how npm and modules have probably to some degree gotten out of hand.

Literally had several doctors throughout growing up tell my dad my brain is fucked and doesn’t work like he wants it to cause heckin ADHD or whatever.

Everytime my dad was sure I was full of shit and, “just not trying hard enough to remember things or do things, etc”

Some people just aren’t maleable enough to adapt their world view when presented with information that contradicts their preconceived assumptions and biases.

Those AM sidepods give me Ferrari vibes from before they went all boxy this year.

Really liked the look of the Ferrari before their sidepod change looking forward to seeing the AM car with this upgrade

I wrote like… 4 sentences and got approved lol.

Nah Genie done did him dirty. If anything that one should be on the house and mans still has 3 wishes left 😤

Ohhh I feel very dumb lol. Thank you for the help!

Doric, beauty in simplicity, simple as.
