Not to mention that this sub is unapologetically pro LGBT while practically every authoritarian government (including particularly those that tankies support) has been anti LGBT. eg, China prohibits same sex marriage and adoption, while forcing trans people to get permission from their family to transition (spoiler alert: they ain't progressive).

Democratic socialism with actual equality for all (which goes hand in hand with the root issue socialism is supposed to solve) makes sense and is reasonable. But that's not what tankies support. They're defined by support for authoritarian states that have nothing to do with equality except pretending that they care about it.

I'm realizing there's been a serious shortage of Bef being posted here. Someone should get on that.

What dumb is that we can improve public transit today. Unlike self driving cars, there is no technological barrier. The only thing stopping us from improving public transit is that fact that humans (especially in North America) are selfish, greedy, easily manipulated, and apathetic.

Public transit doesn't improve because not enough people don't want to use public transit and not enough people want to use public transit because it doesn't improve.

It's true. Cheese is extremely fascinating. Please give me cheese.

Yeah, it sucks that if I were using Signal only on my phone and eventually decide to start using it on desktop, it doesn't sync any conversation history, resulting in the desktop client showing nothing from before you set it up. It should have older devices send history to new ones. If you're permanently switching devices, are you losing that history for good?

I mean, have you seen the symbols they use in math? It's obviously a demon summoning. No kid of mine will learn about librul irrational numbers. /s

But naw, that's what they sound like. They want to pick and choose facts to teach their kids. They might not be going after math symbols this time, but they're still anti-reality. Parents can have some leeway in how to raise their kids, but they don't get to choose to keep their kids ignorant of reality. Well, unless they live in Georgia apparently. Or Florida. Or one of several other states that have done similar and just coincidentally happen to be red states.

While I certainly do like chocolate chip cookies, where cinnamon buns are concerned, I don't want to replace the raisins with anything. I'll pick them out and eat just the cinnamon bun. So it's definitely the raisins, with their unquenchable evil.

I love raisins on their own. And in raisin brand for some reason. But I strongly dislike their texture in baked goods such as cinnamon buns or cookies.

Good on you for looking it up. I've seen so many comments from people who don't look it up and just go "they only asked 2000 people so this is bullshit". I initially had thought your original comment would be just another one of those till I read it all.

I have two levels of backlog. The first level is my curated list of tickets that are highly worth doing in the near future and is limited in size. It's currently larger than I'd like at 30-something (for a team of a little under 10), but I'm trying to get the team to focus on it more after historically neglecting it.

The second level is literally just everything else. Hundreds upon hundreds of tickets, ranging from restructuring unit tests (which will frankly never happen unless the structure of the tests somehow became a major barrier) to cool features that just aren't important enough yet (or would take too long). Plus all the super low risk bugs, often in edge cases that nobody really cares about yet or aren't worth the time to fix yet. And then there's all the automation style tickets about improving the handling of something (commonly edge cases of things already automated for the happy path), but often that something just isn't common enough to be worth it.

Tickets in the second level sometimes do get done. Usually because some issue becomes more common, enough people ask for it, or we simply finally have time for a new feature (can only do so many of those at a time). A common theme I have is I'll encounter a problem, file a ticket, then eventually encounter the problem enough times that I go, "fuck it, I'll do it myself".

It's usually E or F, at least. Except when it's space. Or tab. Wait, I've seen C, Z, and X before, too.

Seriously PC devs, get your shit together. What's even worse is when the sequel changes the keys with no discernible reason, so I can play the games back to back only to have the hardest time.

They have like a hundred employees, which makes it a lot easier to figure out. Though some of those employees aren't directly involved in creating videos, such as doing accounting or creating the many kinds of custom merch that they sell.

They have a bunch of employees doing specialized roles. Not just the usual roles like editing or writing, but they also what they call a "lab" that does stuff like identify findings about tech. But even with so many employees and all the specialization, they're still clearly rushing. Eg, if they make a massive error, rather than fix it and do a reshoot, they'll release it with the error, which is a terrible approach.

That's exactly what happened in their biggest controversy with an expensive water block cooler. They used a completely wrong graphics card despite knowing that it was completely wrong and with an incompatible motherboard, then spent most of the video bad mouthing how it didn't fit the motherboard or card instead of recognizing that they needed to just identify a compatible board, find the right card, and redo the shoot.
