The whole “answer this trivia question” gatekeeping is dumb.

But the unreasonable metalhead in me also wants all band shirts to have been bought at a show, so maybe I’m a bit guilty too.

I’m not asking everyone to be able to become a hardware specialist, but if you can’t even figure out “my computer gets hot” I’m not going to be able to trust anything you do. Identifying a heat issue does not take a rocket surgeon.

Could be a gen 5 nvme drive without adequate cooling. Them bastards can run hot. Especially the early gen 5 drives.

Yes, but this may be a symptom of an issue I’ve been seeing with younger programmers; they’ve siloed themselves so specifically into whatever programming they “specialize” in, that they become absolutely useless at dealing with absolutely anything else related to their job. And exasperating this issue is the fact that they’ve grown up with systems that “just work”. Windows, iOS, and android are all at the point where fucking around with hardware issues is very uncommon for the average person.

Asking this guy to solve a hardware problem is like asking hime to tune a carburetor. He likely has not the slightest clue how to start.

That falls squarely under the “don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to” category.

Because eating the rich will accomplish nothing if you don’t also change the underlying system that created them in the first place. And good luck getting everyone in the non-rich class to agree on what that change should look like.

You’d have to declare it and pay any import taxes on it, same as you would have had to do before the tariffs.

Me too. I’m on the right side of the border and would happily order from this company if they sell something I need.

Without. I’m a fairly tall dude myself, so looking upwards at a woman was a bit of a novel experience.

Hey, there’s nothing inherently wrong with frequenting strip clubs. Where else are you going to have a beer and watch a dude in playboy pyjamas wearing a dog leash get walked around the place by a 6’ tall stripper in stilettos?

I switched to contacts when I got a job where I am required to wear safety glasses. Contacts + the normal plastic glasses is just easier to deal with than having to get and replace prescription safety glasses.

Personally, I just don’t ask questions I don’t want the answer to.

It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

Wait I need more details about this sandwich based political spectrum. What does it mean if I refuse to have a pulled pork sandwich without coleslaw on it?

That’s waaay more effort, and I am so very lazy.

There’s a chain of burger places called “The Burger’s Priest” in Canada. Must be talking about that place.

Those are just the disguised lizard people.

I think the other thing that people need to remember is that when online on platforms like Lemmy, Twitter, etc, you aren’t just having a one on one conversation. There are other people reading the exchange. People who would otherwise be allies, can still be alienated, even without anyone directly saying anything to them.

Also, there seems to be far too many people who are willing to let perfect be the enemy of good. If your opinions don’t exactly match theirs, you are indoctrinated, evil, stupid, malicious, etc.

All you have to do is come up with a new name for it. It’s not like any of them have a clue about what socialism actually entails.

I’m learning to hate it right now too. For some reason, its refusing to upload a local image from my laptop, and the alarm that comes up tells me exactly nothing useful.
