Recreate the setup of Training Day and see how many people become dirty cops because they get finessed by Denzel Washington

The metal gear solid thing where you clone someone into two separate people but one gets all the recessive genes and the other gets all the dominant ones

Yeah it would devolve to being like people with freckles or something utterly superficial eventually

In The Host (2007) they lobotomise the protagonist but he’s so dumb it doesn’t affect him

I’d be interested in this too. Maybe some synapsed stop firing if they are put to sleep for long enough.

Alternatively your mother might be gaslighting you.

It was British high drama

Use whatever works for you!

I had a glorious moment at a restaurant with my extended family where there was a large group with kids at the next table letting them run riot. The parents were all nursing huge glasses of white wine and chatting away while the kids bothered other diners, waiters, etc.

At the end of the meal, after paying the bill, my uncle went over to the parents and told them their kids had ruined our meal. One of the parents tried to protest that he’d obviously never had kids. He responds, “I raised 3 kids and none of them ever behaved as badly as yours have done this afternoon.” Mic drop; my party left.

One thing I like about knowing find (and grep for that matter) is that you know it will be installed everywhere. It makes working on remote servers so much easier, especially if you can’t install any new packages with your user permissions.

If you want to see what linux was like 15 years ago try installing OpenBSD lol

The compiled distros should be easy instead of nightmare tbh

I wonder if this would work with my RX580 if I put a 30 FPS framecap.

It is quite easy to go slackware -> gentoo from what I remember but minimalist distros might be cheating

The more immoral the business the better the perks tend to be. Working at a gambling company had the best benefits of anywhere I’d ever been.

All of the places listed so far sound cool and I could feasibly relocate IRL. At the moment I don’t want to live too far from my aging parents though. They are in their mid-70s and might need me soon.

My wife and I are in our early 30s and bought our first flat in a student-y area in town. We thought given that we are still prone to the odd late night or having folks over for drinks we’d still fit in but it was a total miscalculation.

Our student neighbours are seldom up late drinking and instead they have phone alarms going off at 6AM to get them up to go to the gym on Saturday mornings when we are nursing hangovers. Mostly we sleep through it but sometimes I wake up dying of thirst with hot flushes to the sound of their alarm.

What’s wrong with kids these days??

At least you aren’t polycystic!

I’ve noticed some of my pals have become more insular since getting married which is a mistake IMO. When you hit your 30s it becomes harder to make friends so you need to tend to the ones you have.

I’d piss off the wrong person with an excess of style with ease
