Wow. This comments section reads like 50 various versions of Colin Robinson, all swarming on this very post. Every single one of them finding a way to be more pedantic or curmudgeonly than the other.

Thank you! As a software engineer, I can understand the necessity for impotency. You don't want the same request sent twice.

This is a beautiful work of art! Can you ELI5 what this is, please?

Irene insinuates that she may have another leg to stand/lean on. Peg or Mattie might be more appropriate.

I have over 1500 cumulative hours invested in No Man's Sky and Minecraft respectively. I am a casual gamer. I started playing Minecraft in 2012 and NMS in 2017.

Some email services will let you append arbitrary strings to the end of your email address with a +. Whenever a sales associate asks for my email to sign up for discounts, I give them [email protected]. I love the looks I get for that.

I suppose it depends on your tastes, but I read Pitchfork reviews and check out the artits on Spotify. I do not limit my tastes to one genre, so that makes it more interesting when exploring. I'll also leverage the Related Artists section of an artist's page if I find a new artist that I like.

I have been laid off from every job (5 in total) since the pandemic. We are a subhuman commodity. Companies that are hiring now are exploiting the market by offering lower salaries.

Meta and Amazon are in their hiring season and they'll start their layoffs again next spring or summer. And somehow, everyone forgets this fucked up cycle keeps happening in perpetuum.

We need to stop being afraid of mentioning the U word. We need better protection and rights as employees.

Engineering is a skilled trade. We need our own union like every other skilled labor group.
