  • My first foray into doing anything remotely close to programming was substituting things in other people’s TCL scripts. I had no idea what I was doing…but i was somehow getting results.

    I curently have no idea how this person did this, and so as a bare minimum id have to learn that in order to know where to start replacing keywords. Maybe it’s completely trivial, but the fact remains I do not know and so I would have to learn something.

    So yes, even if they’re “just replacing keywords” they’re still learning something. Even if you consider it trivial or mundane.

    I hate Trump, I think he’s an evil traitor to humanity.

    However I also think he’s me in this picture. I would stand there awkward as fuck watching everyone else who knew what to do take action.

    Not sure what people expect him to do here? But maybe that’s because im as flawed as he is. In this regard that is.

    RFK pulled a blinder. He gtfo of there licketysplit…cus he knew the photos of him failing to offer effective medical aid to someone in need were about 0.06 seconds away. In-fact if you look closely you can see the RFK shaped smoke ring on the edge of the photo.





  • I’ve not run into any of these issues…but as I went from iPhone to samsung perhaps its all just a matter of perspective. Perhaps the Pixel is superior.

    I check each year what the reviews are saying and the Samsung always seem to edge out on top for what I want - a large device (i get the Ultra) with a premium build and great camera. I also have a samsung watch so the integrations work quite nicely. I found the google wallet on the watch constantly asked for my pin while the samsung wallet only would the first time since I put it on. Oh and you have to unlock your device to use Google Wallet as your travel payment…with samsung wallet I can just tap and go which is much more preferable to me as it means my eyes are up and paying attention to my world, not looking at my phone unlocking it.













  • The other day a dude was using his phone on speaker in the gym. Just sat there on the machine casually having a conversation on the phone and not doing a whole lot of working out.

    I asked him if he could use the phone normally and made the “hand to face” gesture and he just mumbled a “yeah” and took it off speaker.

    Now if he had considered my request outlandish, presumably there would have been a little friction in this exchange? But no…he knew exactly what he was doing, why it was annoying, and immediately how to remedy it.

    Why the fuck are people using speakerphone instead of the God damn normal speaker to have their conversations? They know it’s annoying.
