Tools you’re not sure you’ll need. Harbor Freight tools are super cheap and flimsy, but may be the right choice if you’re not using them often.

If you find yourself using a cheap tool all the time and hating the quality of it, then it’s time to buy something better.

This is the biggest waste of words next to a “Trump-said” article.

Laptop makers once put pop-out mice on laptops. They were horrible. Toting a wired mouse around was a pain in the ass too. There’s a reason touchpads took over. It doesn’t mean people don’t know how to work a computer.

For most games, the real consequence of failure in a game is being forced to repeat what just happened. And getting caught in a Groundhog Day-esque situation that repeats once every few minutes suuuuucks.

It’s even worse when a failure causes your character to lose stuff. That’s even more time wasted, in that the time and effort taken to get the thing is gone.

Paint the rainbow on my proud carebear chest if you must. I just want a place to escape to for a little while, a place that doesn’t frustrate the shit out of me.

Anything that maximizes embarrassment or cringe. Can’t watch most Will Ferrell or Borat. Ugh, it makes me so uncomfortable.

Tried submitting a relatively simple change to the Ansible code base once. Added an option to the telnet module to support different ports. Submitted a pull request. Was told I needed to change and update the documentation. Didn’t know how to do that, and I didn’t get any guidance, so I abandoned the pull request. Kept on using my own hack until someone else added the option.

Make contributing easy, and more people will contribute.

John Wick and James Bond and superheroes and supervillains are not realistically possible. Otherwise we would have them.

"Look me in the eyes and tell me why you did it."

You should fucking know, Commander. 500 credits. That's why.

Remember when you pulled me aside and sat me down for our little chat through the glass? I told you, all I wanted to do was pay my 500c bounty and go.

You said, no, not this time.

You said, I want dirt on the Fleet.

You said, I want to take down the Fleet, and you're going to help me.

You know what they say about negative bias, and that was a real fucking negative introduction.

That brings us to now, with my gun pointed at your head, my new associates eyeing gleefully their new quarters aboard this august vessel.

Look me in the eyes, motherfucker. Because I like that look when you realize you vastly fucked up. Your command is ours now. Half your men are dead, the other half in lifeboats.

All over 500 credits.

Boys, haul him off.

Should they? Yes.

Would they? Ahhhahahaha

Sudden? That’s been declining for years my dude.

I’m lucky if people understand the first bullet point in my emails. I’m luckier still if they keep reading, never mind understand my next point.

Does something similar exist anywhere else in the world?
