If your cuticles do this on their own, or you notice pitting on or under your nails, it might be an early sign of psoriasis.

Look, I enjoy good butter, too, but are you cooking with it? You probably won’t notice a difference if you switch to a generic.

They don’t trust you to tell the truth, why would they come to you for the results of a test?

Until you confirm that you have a working backup, your backup is theoretical.

That’s not a cat, that’s a flerken.

You see this a lot in project management. People go to school to learn to manage projects, and they think that all projects are pretty much the same. You define the deliverables, set the schedule, track the progress, and everything should work out fine. When the project is a success, they pat themselves on the back for getting everyone to the finish line, and when the project fails they examine where in the process unexpected things happened.

Video games are an art form. Creativity can’t be iterated into existence, and the spark of fun is more than the component parts of a good time. Capitalists believe that they can invest in the creative process and buy the value of the talent of extraordinary people. They have commoditized creation, dissecting each step and then squeezing it into a format that fits into a procedure.

Here’s a Kanban board of game features, pick one and move it to the next phase. Develop, test, evaluate, repeat. What are your blockers? Is this in scope? Do we need to push the deadline?

That can help you make something, but it won’t be art.

Have you checked to make sure that the universe is not a hyper realistic simulation and you are every person in it?

They are, for better or worse. Kids learn to be people from the people around them. The only situation where your parents aren’t role models is when they aren’t around you, and that’s a sort of role model in its own way.

Kids also learn from their peers, their mentors, their heroes, etc, so it’s not like kids of shitty people are completely fucked.

Watching the Brak Show feels like smoking weed to me, but I’m completely sober. Except for when I’m high.

While you are correct, the only people using “woke” anymore are using it as an insult, meaning “not a bigot like me.”

I ask for summaries and examples for things I understand well but struggle to explain. Sometimes it’s very helpful, and sometimes it’s just deranged nonsense.

That’s why I’m less likely to ask it to about something I don’t already know. How would I know if the answer is accurate or coherent? At least with something like Wikipedia, I can track down a source and look for foundational truth, even if it is hidden under layers of bias.

I’m going to pronounce it “agilé” at the next stand up and see who corrects me.

I’ve never seen the word “grunklier” before and I immediately knew exactly what it meant.

It’s one thing to know it happens, and it’s an entirely different thing to hear it happening live and in real time.

I moved into an apartment with my girlfriend (and her roommate) after being together only a year, and we’re married now. We weren’t much older than you are now (22 and 21). The concerning part is the rest of the family.

You’ve answered a lot of questions, so don’t feel the need to respond to these, but you should know the answers for yourself.

Would you share a bed? Will you be able to hear her parents getting frisky? Because then they will be able to hear you. What if you have to take an epic shit, but her mom has just called everyone down to dinner? What if you go to take a shower and her father has clogged the drain with hair?

What is your alternative plan if you don’t move in with them?

Sharing a roof means intimacy with everyone in the building. There’s very little privacy, and escape is complicated. If you see her as a forever partner, and don’t mind making yourself vulnerable to her family, then actually I probably still wouldn’t do it even under those circumstances.

Would you eat them if they were called “Buffalo Nuggets”? Sounds like poop to me. “Buffalo Tenders” isn’t much better, because it sounds like the nether regions of the buffalo. Chicken nuggets or chicken tenders are breaded and fried, because they are white meat and don’t have the skin of a wing. Then they are coated in buffalo wing sauce. The benefit is you can eat them whole and there’s no plate of gnawed bones leftover. You could even use a fork and keep your fingers clean.

Nick Adams seems to think that capitalists should eat with their hands and chew meat directly from the bones of an animal.

This is not healthy husband/wife behavior. If you don’t feel comfortable talking with him about your own freedom, then you don’t have a husband, you have a captor. If you live in the US or EU, there are resources to help you escape with your son you mentioned in another comment.

The iPhone does not have a way to override this restriction.

“I didn’t ask for a hint, I was just making an observation. Damn.”

I think “selfish” is a better word for it in all instances, because some people are just selfish. Like, if you can’t be bothered to return your shopping cart or pick up your dog’s shit, then that’s selfish. It’s not anywhere near the same category as being too burnt out to do the dishes after a double shift, or wanting to sleep in on a day off.

Calling all of it “lazy” creates some imaginary obligation to the universe that simply does not exist. You don’t owe the universe clean dishes or your time in the morning. If you have roommates and you left dishes in the sink, you are being selfish. If your kids have an early baseball game, and you are too hungover to show up, then you’re being selfish. You are always obliged to return your cart and pick up after your dog.
