  • I know there have been people predicting they live in the "end times" for all of humanity. But I can't help but feel like our generation isn't crying wolf like the others.

  • You ever eat a sleeve of Saltines... on weed?

  • She also does not appreciate whenever I play Your Love by The Outfield just so I can sing the lyric:

    🎶You know I like my girls a little bit older 🎶

  • My wife is a few months older than me. She doesn't seem to appreciate that I call her old as hell on her birthdays.

  • Honestly, this is a much more thoughtful and thorough response than I was expecting.

  • Is it possible to #2 and not #1? I don't think my plumbing works that way.

    Actually now that I think about it, back in highschool one of my friends took a shit in someone's vegetable crisper and I don't recall him pissing all over the place when he did. So it must be possible.

  • Yes, But...

  • Ugh this just reminded me that I ran into this exact issue a couple years ago. We were running jobs every hour to ingest data from an API into our data warehouse. Eventually we got reports from users about having gaps in our data. We dug into it for days trying to find a pattern, but couldn't pinpoint anything. We were just missing random pieces of data, but our jobs never reported any failures.

    Eventually we were able to determine the issue. HTTP 200 with "error: true" in the response. Fml

  • Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday?

  • Damn power hungry admins always keeping the sweet sweet bot ladies for themselves.

  • Still haven't gotten one. Guess the bots don't like me.

  • Same, but only if I could also stop aging while Serena continues to. I think I might have a chance with 30 years of practice playing against a 73 year old Serena, assuming I get lucky and she breaks a hip.

  • How many story points is it to get to 2nd base?

  • Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell

    Jump

  • I love Brandon Sanderson, but his world building and complex magic systems aren't for most people. I've tried to get my wife to read his stuff for years and she just has never gotten into it.

    The reason Harry Potter was so commercially successful is because the vast majority of the public doesn't want to learn about allomantic properties of 16 different metals and how they have internal/external, physical/mental, enhancement/temporal and pushing/pulling effects.

    They don't want to learn about adhesion, gravitation, division, abrasion, progression, illumination, transformation, cohesion, and tension surges - and how bonding a spren through oathes increases your ability to surgebind. Their eyes glaze over when talking about the cognitive and physical realms.

    Most people just want to hear "yeah some people are magic and can wave wands, say some magic words and poof magic happens." That's why it's one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.

    But yeah, I've just learned to accept that while I love some Sanderson magic systems, it's not ever gonna be for everyone. And that's ok.

  • I downloaded Sync the first day he released it. It had a few bugs, but he was very active at the time and seemed to clean them up quickly. I made a post in his community about a problem with comment sorting and he resolved it the very next day!

    So yeah, I glady paid for what I thought was a pretty good app (still is without the unread issue). Since then I've gone back to Voyager, which is ok but still has some quirks that make me miss Sync. Might give Thunder a shot.

  • It happens when your home instance upgrades to a newer version of Lemmy that changed how one of the variables worked to track read posts. I'm guessing lemme.ee hasn't upgraded yet? Sh.itjust.works upgraded something like 6 months ago and it's been unusable ever since. I suppose I could make an account on another instance, but that's a pain.

  • It was pretty common for him to disappear for a while and then pop up with a whole bunch of new features. I didn't mind that before and gladly paid the $1.50/month subscription to support his work and make Lemmy more accessible. But yeah, can't justify it now that the app shows all links as unread.

  • Op, is your account the alt of the Sync dev or something?

    I wish that was the case. @[email protected] - the Sync dev - has been MIA for over half a year now. Which sucks, because Sync currently has a breaking bug causing it to not show posts as read, making it mostly unusable. I had to cancel my subscription for it that I was happily paying for before to support his work.

  • Isn't it crazy that basically every election at this point is basically like:

    • Option 1) We keep the status quo, nothing really changes.
    • Option 2) We burn it all down to the ground. Not to rebuild something better, but just for the hell of it.
