Yes, the long lost, pre-smartphone era of January 2015

Go to a conservative community and they might make you a mod for that behavior!

If your managers only job is to micromanage you, your manager doesn’t have an actual job and is just babysitting you for money, and you’re probably in a shitty organization that doesn’t know how to manage personnel.

I’ve had multiple jobs where my boss didn’t have time to look over my shoulder because they were too busy doing their own work to bother the team as long as everyone is pulling their weight (and tend to come down like a ton of bricks when they have to do management shit instead of their job because you fucked up again, Matt).

It’s so nice to work for orgs that resect me as an employee enough to let me do my job in peace.

Right, the rendering engine is the same, that’s still not the browser. Again, just because it’s a derivative browser doesn’t make it the same browser.

They’re the same browser though.

They actually aren’t the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs.

It’s a similar and derivative browser, but they aren’t the same.

There are more similarities than differences.

You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren’t the same person.

And also many people still believe that if you criticize their “meme browser” made by the cool “don’t be evil” company, you’re a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow

Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

Eh, I think ‘because math’ is a better description than idk, since we do kinda know why (math models), we just don’t necessarily know why (the models work that way) if that makes sense.

“because math” got it.

While polio wasn’t around while I was a child my aunt’s uncle’s parents knew someone who had polio while they were growing up.

Well yeah, if you go back to your grandparents’ generation you’re gonna see polio because you’re taking 30s and 40s. My grandfather talked about it too, but my parents’ generation didn’t.

and photons are their own anti-particle.

How are they their own anti-particle? Because they destructively interfere or something?

Can you imagine <pick a thing> back then? Your neighbor could light up and there was nothing you could do but sit there and stew in the smoke stream

It wasn’t just flying. I grew up in the 90s, and you could smoke in so many places, it was awful. I was so happy listening to my mother bitch and complain when they banned smoking in establishments entirely. I could finally breathe, and she had to go outside to keep killing herself (unless we were at home or in the car, in which case there was still nothing I could do but stew in the smoke).

Would it be possible for the antimatter particle to be ejected instead of the ‘real’ matter particular?

While I wouldn’t assume anything is permanent these days, I’d agree for the moment. I had already uninstalled Gemini on my phone (2ish months ago) and just verified I still see Google listed as the default assistant.

Aside from the fact that he made twitter (which I blame in large part for how our political/news media landscape, as well as modern discourse, has become so thoughtless), left and made blue sky, then left blue sky and endorsed twitter?

The dude supports a ton of toxic shit and can get entirely fucked.

The ADL has assured me that this was merely an awkward statement in a moment of enthusiasm

If the topic is tech related, the furry instantly gains +1 credibility

My interest in subnautica 2 is like the actual second game: below zero.

The first game and below zero are so different I’m not confident they know what about the first game was what drew people in.

Unless there’s a safety concern, there’s always the side of the road. I drive 2 lane backwoods roads periodically, and it’s not uncommon to see a car pulled a bit off the road with no visible driver’s seat.

Step it the fuck up orcas!

It gets so boring

It starts so boring. I barely made it through the first season and some of the second. It was sooooooo fucking dull that I gave up on it around the time what’s his name dies in the desert.
