Of course not. I’m in love with a whole person, not her appearance. I love her fierce intellect, her passion for justice, her wanderer’s spirit. I love that we can sit together and watch anything only for it to lead to a new and endlessly fascinating discussion.

Makeup doesn’t affect any of that.

I like how makeup highlights her favorite features or hides when she feels tired or insecure. I like that it helps her feel more fully herself. I think it’s great that makeup can do that for her.

She will always be attractive to me for who she is. How she looked may have helped me first talk to her, but who she is has kept us talking for 16 years.

It requires no restraint if you’re not a monster.

I wasn’t double tapping intentionally! That’s the ticket. I was tapping around looking for a collapse trigger and must have occasionally tapped quickly enough to earn a double tap.

Very cool and thanks for making this.

Very neat. I haven’t used Reddit in a year, but I wanted to check out your app out of curiosity. I think I feel much healthier without it being a regular part of my life, but this is an interesting window I could glance through from time to time.

The comment collapse feature seems to work very inconsistently. Where should you be tapping or how in order to collapse a comment thread?

That’s a fair point.

Yes and no? My team is scattered around the US, so if my east coasters hit a snag early, I genuinely don’t want them in a holding pattern until I get around to it. Same for my coworkers on the west coast.

Some of the intensity of it has been that I assumed control of a team that was already severely mismanaged and had missed it’s initial deadlines by a month.

Of course that manager got promoted to an area that better suited his skills and I was asked to step in and try to right the ship. Our final deadline is today and we only have minor and cosmetic bugs left (that we know of).

We have plenty of new features to add moving forward, but with the project back on track and the foundation established, I’ll be able to set better deadlines for everyone’s work life balance.

I will probably always have some temptation to pull long hours for my team scattered around the country, but it becomes much less urgent now that we’re past our insane crunch.

Maybe it’s hopelessly naive of me and the next deadline will also become a crunch, but I have some control over those future dates, so I hope it will be less of an issue.

While it can’t “know” its own confidence level, it can distinguish between general knowledge (12” in 1’) and specialized knowledge that requires supporting sources.

At one point, I had a chatGPT memory designed for it to automatically provide sources for specialized knowledge and it did a pretty good job.

Really good advice, thank you.

Really helpful. Yeah, it’s already invaded my vacations and time off, but I’m working to create better boundaries moving forward. The problem is that there’s literally no one else who can answer certain questions or resolve certain problems and everything will grind to a halt if I don’t deal with it in a timely manner.

I know this is just a joke, but I’ve recently become a project manager for the first time. I’m open to tips and suggestions.

I’ve really enjoyed it and have worked hard to give my developers everything they need as soon as possible. Otherwise I try to stay out of the way and do my best to shield them from the pressure that’s being applied on me to achieve deadlines.

I’d agree that anyone can ask for project updates, but I really do work hard to balance client demands with c-suite expectations and the realistic outcomes described by my developers.

They almost certainly will. That blue is a prestige feature for a lot of people.

I don’t really care, so long as I can easily send texts and pictures back and forth, I’ll be happy.

Thanks for the recommendation. I don’t look forward to the day I’m forced to upgrade windows because that’s when I’ll absolutely need to move over to Linux. I’m just not ready for it.

This is why I’ve yet to make the leap from windows. I just don’t have the technical chops nor spare time to make my OS a hobby.

I, for one, am eager to ride the next civilization wave. They’ve only gotten better and better.

That’s pretty neat? What a weird place to use a neature walk meme, but here we are.

I shop at Costco, not even Aragorn, son of Arathorn, could bring all that bulk deliciousness in at once.

They can and do attack Russian territory with their own weapons. When they use American weapons, they come with the provision that they must be used on targets in occupied Ukrainian territory.

This is still a stupid position, but no one is telling Ukraine what to do with their own stuff.

Having sustained some moderate injuries throughout my life, I’m confident they didn’t even know what happened, it was just lights out.

Even with serious injuries it can take surprisingly long for the pain to really ramp up. Something that fast, they probably didn’t even have time to be scared much less experience physical discomfort.

When can I get one of these voices to read an epub on my phone? I’d love to have something like that
