In the last couple of years, seeing my toddler do new things. Any new things. Jumping, saying “cake”, eating a new food, today it was making toys talk to each other.

Overall, coding things. I’m incredibly newbie but wannabe game dev. Learning to code as I go copying tutorials and trying to tweak things and mash different ones together until it does what I want. I would spend an entire evening getting frustrated and not understanding error codes and pulling my hair out because invalid syntax and shit. Then finally it would do what I wanted it to do and I could physically feel my brain light up with buzzy happy-chemicals, big grins and jumping round the room like a kid on Xmas.

Then I’d start on the next minijob and break the whole fucking thing…

I know next to nothing about any of the subject, but I’m bloody impressed by the preservation

Yeah just use it as normal and have patience.

Only reason I’m here is after getting arbitrarily banned from reddit for the 3rd time and refusing to make a new one.

Supposed to be. From a pure animal point of view They’re successful enough to have reproduced. Given that between them they make up your entire genetic composition, the wisest course of action is to emulate them.

Then human society got to a point where the bar for survival/reproduction is so low that it’s not necessarily a good idea to emulate them.

Because it’s a recognisable brand name that’s easier and more palatable to communicate than “sell videos of increasingly depraved sex acts en masse”

It’s just how it’s been normalised. Anyone who is actually interested and wants to get engaged will learn better quite quickly.

I think it’s always been this way, but social media has for sure exacerbated it. People really want to believe there’s some big order, some grand control, somebody in charge that all makes sense somewhere somehow.

“They” don’t want you to know because its all about power and control is weirdly a lot more palatable than “shit just happens”.

No. If something is too expensive I simply move on. I get anxious simply conducting commerce in a regular environment, like my desire to buy this thing is an intrusion on the shopkeepers day.

I also refuse to buy from places, usually burger vans, where the prices are so small as to be hidden until you get to the front of the queue. If you’re going to say “what do you want” at the exact moment I’m weighing up the price/object ratio, I’m out.

I had the same thought with cape and peninsula

I know the one you’re talking about and to me that’s the least egregious of them all. It’s contextual and thematic, even if it is just shit.

I’ve been looking over my daughters shoulder as she watches YouTube shorts, and a regular clip of brain rot will announc its using the greenscreen effect. Hidden behind all the username/soundtrack/description will be a teeny tiny brown man’s head muttering punjab almost imperceptibly quietly.

Not sure if they’re better or worse than the dickheads splitting the screen in two and passively pointing up towards the video that is also showing.

“You jinx it? Believe it or not, jail”

Gonna go ahead and show my ignorance here, but why is this such a bad thing?

That’s what he’s trying to do, just doesn’t know where to go for that.

Now that I’m thinking about it I’m surprised there isn’t a dragons den type thing for software development.

I feel that so hard.

All that ended up happening was I’d learned not to bother trying. If I didn’t try I’d still beat everyone else. Then real life started and it turns out the only lesson you needed to learn in school was to learn how to try.

I’m sure they’ll be labelled inside too.

They’re waiting for you, OP, in the test. Chamberrrr.

I don’t understand the intricate details, but ultimately their property ownership is just some words on a piece of paper somewhere right?

Surely we can bust the tippex out.

A suit?

Knowing literally no other details other than your ages and the fact youre asking strangers, I would say bad idea. It might be a phenomenal idea though with more information.
