He’s still going. This is the kind of person we need in every field.

Installing windows for most of that time hasn’t been a thing people do. They bought a computer and it had the internets (the picture with the blue e) and the word (the picture with the paper and a W) and that was pretty much them sorted. We’re weird for knowing the difference and that’s not a bad thing to be.

It’s December already? When did that happen?

If it’s in your ‘private wine cellar,’ either you already paid for it or it was gifted, still free-ish. If your wife is making you pay to ‘re-taste the honeymoon wine,’ you might have other problems.

The individual poster may or may not be real, but anti-union ‘training’ and propaganda are definitely real.

It’s not $5. There’s a tap in all our pockets, pipelessly connected to the Heidelberg Tun of free wine that comes in all colours, types, and flavors.

I have a similar one but these days I’m wanting something smaller. The spring slide on this style means the minimum size is rather large.

What if they all use it ‘wrong’ but all use it differently?

Hopes dashed. It’s not common, but there are some people who have the right combination of circumstances to make them think blowjobs involve the movement of air.

Pick something that interests you but is made by a small, indie, maybe even solo dev. Check out some of the stuff made by people on lemmy in the Godot community maybe. Lots of cool projects to consider.

Wee, another person who doesn’t understand how analogies work. You see, class, saying A is analogous to B is not a statement of equivalency, but a statement of structural similarity. The response ‘welcome to the internet’ is sarcasm meant to imply the previous responder is foolish for having standards of some kind and should simply accept and expect that people cannot be held to any standard. The further response asking the respondent, via analogy, if more people doing something is all that it takes to make it acceptable, asks them to consider the implications of the belief that repetition makes right.

Now that you have a more fullsome understanding of things, will you demonstrate the maturity and intelligence to integrate that knowledge into action or will you demonstrate an inability to comprehend, only to raise a pretense of reason?

So, if I slap you, it’s assault, but if loads of people make slapping you a regular occurrence, we should stop caring?

It’s the white house. You think they don’t have a fridge/freezer capable of holding a body somewhere in there?

Don’t forget the third system, where y is inverted to come down from the origin at the upper left of the view as y increases.

Depending on where you live this might be because of pricing regulations which require payments to be equal to the most expensive source used in a given period plus a preset margin. Some of the regulatory systems don’t know how to cope with the differences in generation that come from renewables. …not that they’re great at managing the non-renewables these days either.

Alright, I gave you the knowledge and you don’t want to integrate it, so it’s on you now. Have fun lying to yourself.

accommodating preferences in one is far easier than the other.

Tell me you’ve never tried to code a complex interactive experience without telling me you’ve never tried to code a complex interactive experience. If you think it’s so easy to take every element of a highly complex, performance sensitive program and make it possible to pick and choose which ones you experience without breaking the whole experience or turning a 1 year project into a 10 year project, go ahead and try. Do you also ask movie directors to make their movies so that when you hit ‘skip scene’ because you don’t like the way the scene looks, it still makes a good movie?

museums aim to preserve history

That’s just your failure to understand there are more kinds of museum than a history museum. A history museum does have special work involved, but others don’t share that element. Perhaps you’ve heard of an art museum, sometimes also known as a gallery. They can contain all sorts of elements, audio, video, scent, touch, taste, human interaction, machine interaction, ludic interaction, whatever. The artifacts can be any age, with art from hundreds of years ago or being created in the moment via performance.

The analogy is a failure, to be sure, but only because I hadn’t considered the possibility you wouldn’t have that piece of common knowledge. Now that you do have that knowledge, though, if you can’t see the analogy, that’s on you.

It’s actually one of the cleanest, most direct analogies I’ve ever used. Both are curated experiences with controlled visual, auditory, and interactive elements. The differences lie only in the physical/resource limitations each has for the kinds of experiences they can include.

You really like the word ‘gatekeep,’ as though it were a bad thing. When you walk into a museum, start complaining about the lack of teleporters and strippers, and then get told to leave, yeah, they’re gatekeeping you, but it’s because you’re complaining about the lack of teleporters and strippers in a museum. That’s not what it’s there for. They have curated a collection of experiences focused on creating an overarching experience, and you have wandered in, said ‘I don’t want to have to walk to each exhibit, teleport me,’ and ‘This exhibit is booooooring. Teleport me to the one with strippers.’ If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re looking in the wrong place.

House hippo?
