Percentile dice (two ten-sided ones) are read with one die representing the 10s digit, the other the ones digit.

00 and 0 = 100

10 and 0 = 10

The shit people come up with as alternatives to reading the results are wrong

It doesn't matter which side you put the toilet paper in. I'm poly-dextrous and it is the way

Being neuroatypical isn't a fashion accessory. Growing up in the 80s and 90s and not being "normal" was marginalising and hard for everyone around. You're not special or trendy because you self-diagnosed autism using an online questionnaire in 2023, you're just an unbearable twat and you want to not have to take accountability for your own shitty attitude.

If the ingredient of whatever snacks/dessert you're making is mostly chocolate, only use couverture or don't even try. There's place for compound but not here.

Systemd is a pile of shit that is actively ruining Linux.

The "phones are bad and suck your life away" crowd has gotten way too big. Yes, it's easy to waste time on them, but that's just something you gotta learn, like not watching TV series all night. You're a grown up, deal with it. Also maybe you feel bad for spending all that time on your phone just because feeling bad for that feels cool? It's actually your life you can spend it however you want. You don't need to be productive or successful to be a worthy human. Be a lazy shit that plays stupid phone games while on a train to work.

People will all change. In the past, I strongly opposed my wife's purchase of luxury goods, such as LV handbags. And we even quarreled because of such matters. Looking back now, it really wasn't necessary at all. So, people's concepts will indeed change.

LV handbags (or anything they make) are so gaudy and broadcast a certain airheadedness that I'd also struggle to see my spouse buy those. But you're right, it doesn't make any difference in the bigger scale of things.

Techno killing all the other music genres + its not underground anymore! It's not combining techno with house or trance, but making techno tracks with some house/trance elements in it. Not to mention that since it was played in big festivals, it lost its label underground.

Ketchup has no place in the world except to cover the taste of spoiled meat.

Especially in the US, a third of the bottle is sugar. Hot dogs? Put ball park mustard on it, the spices in the mustard complement the dog.

Ketchup is a fascist condiment. You start with a little, then it drowns out and dominates everything you put it on and all you’re left with is a sugary tomatoey bullshit taste in your mouth.

Javascript is a great language

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I can think of worse ones and at least knowing JavaScript has paid my bills for 8+ years.
