My solution for this is just to not spend money in game

Is this contextual based on the comic? I’m not familiar with the comic strip

Hypersensitivity to others is a bitch

There’s also a level of understanding vs. utility involved. Being aware that there are subtypes of symbiotic relationship doesn’t necessitate using them in day to day conversation, as most ppl just remember that they learned about the category.

To biologists, however, there’s a world of difference.

You may one day get something like that! I think I read in a blog post somewhere that’s in their long-term plan. Not soon, as they just launched the 16 but I know they’re chewing on it!

I know this is a gaming thread, but I bought a gen 1 framework laptop 13 DIY when they came out and all I can say is: buy it. The form factor of a MacBook but upgradeable and repairable. They now have AMD options that work with my gen 1. Excellent idea, great execution, can’t say enough good things lol

Nobody: always ready

In a similar vein, I went with a Framework laptop. Expensive, but 100% modular and repairable, with an in-house secondhand marketplace. I have a gen 1, batch 2, and the thing is stunningly manufactured for a startup. Can’t say enough good things. Happy hunting!

You’re welcome!

It’s a play on the idiom to “cross your t’s and dot your i’s”, which means to make sure to check and double check your work for any errors/omissions/etc.

So kind of two jokes for the price of one: the play on the idiom, and that they didn’t do it because of the clit joke that made it into the final draft 🤣

Haha fair! In fairness, the time I spent around them was when we were in our early 20s so maybe not representative sample, just my experience

Oh I’ve met some pretty innocent Christians. Keep in mind that this is the same group that gets stressed by the word “damn”. Think pure thoughts!

This joke is underappreciated

I have a new favorite description for human that I hear today: terrified electric meat. Perfectly sums up the human experience

Farmer purgatory

Or one guy working continuously against his own products to produce a net-zero effect

I gotta be honest, as I’m reading all the responses by hexbearians(?) in this thread, it just sounds like y’all have a lot of fun lol

Now I’m waiting for him to find his Rasputin

This is legitimately one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard of

I can add that I’ve built a career on rubbing elbows with the right ppl. You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be likeable and decently competent. As bad as it sounds, people relations first, productivity second.

I’m not the type to slum it for a paycheck, but I’ve found that good perceptions are everything. Balance technical ability with relationship management and you’ll be golden.

Oh, and I still regularly struggle with imposter syndrome, despite the above…
