Control... retroactively decide that was exactly the number of donuts you intended to eat... close enough.

It’s just a gendered noun, like cow/bull. It doesn’t matter who is doing the referring, just who is being referred to. A fiancee is always female, and a fiance is always male. To remember it, I just consider that the woman gets an extra E because she’s the better half. :P

It’s OK, they’ll just edit that out in post.

Ok, but it’s just taking the like, forever, to find a CG professional who can turn a book into a gun convincingly.

Yeah, my last gig we had no means to actually monitor what people were doing, short of logging into their machine and checking browsing history and the like after the fact. And yet, every single person in the building was certain that we were watching them all day, seeing their every move. Like I have a screen…

Some excerpts for anyone confused about whether this is rape:

Actually, you might be on to something. I notice they said they tested right hand strength. In the age of the internet, I expect there’s been a significant rise in left-handed masturbators, given that most people use their right hand for a mouse. I wonder if they’d measured left handed strength whether there would be…

I think the grammar part of my brain just seized.

I know. Gods help her.

Eh, I’m more OK with ridiculously rich people spending heaps of money on luxurious consumption than leveraging it to filter more money up to the top. I’d guess that a significant chunk of that 5 mil goes into working class pockets. At least more of it than when it is spent on tax evasion, buying up means of…

Wow. This guy is me. Just had my girl come over to confirm that this conversation didn’t happen between us, but very much could have.

It’s an exploit only possible due to what is almost certainly a bug. If there is an AFK timer that counts down when a player is not actually AFK, that’s almost certainly a bug, not a design decision with unintended consequences. The timer logic needs to be more robust to distinguish between an AFK player and an active…

There was a game called Savage that was similar to what you describe. There was one Commander per team who played RTS mode, controlled workers, gathered resources, researched upgrades, etc, and the rest of the players were the military units. Was a really cool concept, but from what I recall, poor technical…

I’ve always been interested in doing it at least once. I got notices about 4 times while I was in school, and every time I’d have to send the return note saying it would be a hardship affecting my classes and requesting they call me in the summer, instead. And every time, they’d wait about a year and call me during…

Voting is important, but not exactly day-to-day, and not the top priority for people at the bottom. (Arguably maybe it should be). I’d also guess that most people in the ‘public employee, in a union, or otherwise have some sort of retirement’ group aren’t the ones primarily being stomped on by the financial system’s…

Not an expert, but credit score alone is a black box, where they take everything on your credit report and spit back a number that affects what loan rates you get. The algorithm they use to produce that number is their own secret, so it can’t directly be checked. Maybe they don’t use race directly, but they use…

Just think of it this way. The sun sets in the West, right? So if you want to work after the sun goes down, you work for people far to the West of you, where the sun just went.

Should is a funny word. There’s lots of things people should or should not do. But that never seems to change the fact that they do not or do, with little or no regard for the consequences. You can’t control people, just inform them, apply pressure, and mitigate the damage they can do when they ignore all that.

Only marginally better. Then you can still fiddle with your phone, oblivious to the outside world. Basically, no matter what you do, you’re not going to be able to force the driver to actually pay attention to the road and be in a physical and mental state to take over control within a useful time-frame if that person…

Would stop you from getting out of the driver seat, but wouldn’t stop you from taking a nap in the driver seat.
