you know there are a lot of female spies in real life right?

but why male models?

I saw the post about how this picture flips upside down before I saw this OP

warning that I didn’t read the article but the actor thing might also be compounded by how a lot of film actors are told not to be theatre actors because the current trend is for almost-nothing performances because that’s en vogue right now.

Then you watch all the “greatest” TV shows: Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, Freaks and Geeks, Gilmore Girls, Star Trek, Madmen which are filled with these huge, scenery-chewing performances.

So actually the issue might be: creating something actually good isn’t easy and is quite rare, especially in a world where money matters more than the art.

not sure what you mean by across different websites but imdb and letterboxd do this or any todo list app.

I’m not actually a programmer (/engineer) I’m just a hobbyist. I work in supply chain, have worked at 4 companies in 8 years - all had stand ups, all of them are like this.

The purpose of stand up is to not listen to anything and say a sentence that no one listens to. It’s like a Buddhist meditation.

all programming is abstractions of hello world change my mind

yeah. 5 mins. Thats all you play. Definitely not 3 or 4 hours just disappear the moment you load it up.

I feel like I read somewhere that if you can’t run away the best thing to do if in arms’ reach is run into them as fast as possible. Fuck trying to hit anyone in the jaw with a punch, just run into them, knock them over and keep running. Third best thing (eg they have a knife) is to continually evade without even trying to retaliate as it’s a lot easier to keep dodging out the way than it is to attack and they’ll tire quicker.

as a complete layman and hobbyist i also personally think that “more pythonic” coding can sometimes be more confusing.

I dont think any beginner reads “j for j for i in k” and instantly gets it.

maybe unpopular opinion idk

yes. I just shot a crowd funded Ben 10 fan film. The fans are very passionate.

I’m OK (now? currently? hopefully forever) but when I’m struggling I too appreciate the warning.

USAA has 8-12 ONLY. My smallest memorized password algorithm is 13 characters, that I typically use for throwaways, doesn’t even fit.

YouTube but also porn. As it’s much less regulated in terms of tone and content, you get a lot of casual racism, misogyny and similar just thrown into the videos of pene and vagene

you can just make up two stupid names in your head and get all the benefit of youtube drama - here:

did you hear than Zzzamboney copied a video from Mr457? Turns out that the latest in ZB’s “I’m a chicken” series is actually 457’s “Birdalike” vid but with the turkeys swapped for chickens.

you put a condom on it to solve most of that

I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.

I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go

• Get your IP address by entering this command
• Type your IP address in this line
• Now forward any chosen port to your proxy of choice and don’t forget to check your firewall settings!

My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.

I’m just being a silly billy it’s not directed at you.

It’s more like “ah if only there was a simple solution that could’ve been used.”

All images are hosted somewhere, I would consider an intern fresh out of college know how to correctly add an image to an email, or at least only be told once if somehow they had never seen this before.

yeah it uses this really neat semantic rendering programming language for serving structured documents across servers

It’s a bit tricky, but anyone with at least a Masters in CompSci should be able to parse some of it enough to get the gist. Bear in mind that the “source” is abbreviated to src, and “image” similarly. The rest is coding that gives the computer instructions, you’ll also need to replace FILENAME in the code with the actual filename. It goes like this

<img src="FILENAME" /> 

Let me know if I can explain it more clearly.
