I’m so fucking irritable right now, every little thing is annoying me and my chest is tight, I keep clenching my teeth. I’m very familiar with these things, these are how my body is telling me “go smoke a ciggy”...
This is my experience. It’s fading with time. There are certain situational triggers, and sometimes out-of-the blue cravings, but they become less frequent and easier to ignore, slowly, as time goes on.
I’m politically agnostic and have moved from a slightly conservative stance to a vastly more progressive stance (european). i still dont get the more niche things like tankies and anarchists at this point but I would like to, without spending 10 hours reading endless manifests (which do have merit, no doubt, but still)....
It doesn’t sound like there are any elections, or representatives, or bills or candidates to vote on. Just conducting an ad-hoc “all in favor say aye” type of vote doesn’t mean it’s a democracy. Just because many people come to a consensus doesn’t mean it’s a democracy.
I’m talking about the level of organization. There’s a difference between saying “the best way to resolve this conversation is to ask everyone present for a vote” and “there’s going to be another cyclical election soon, these will be the matters we’re going to vote on.” Counting ayes and nays doesn’t make things a capital-D Democracy, it’s the institutionalization of these practices.
This is the way. There’s some good advice but it’s not universally applicable. The problem is, Uncle Bob defends his philosophy as if it was, diminishing the advice’s reputation.
I wanted to learn how to make an android app and it seems to be pushing to use Kotlin (official tutorial). I thought I was going to use Java (that I know). So I’m a little lost....
I did a bootcamp for Java, and lucked into a junior Android dev role, and man, I’ve really grown to love Kotlin. It really does have all the things I liked about Java, like type safety, but it’s so much more concise. It was pretty confusing at first, a lot of Kotlin is just syntactic sugar, and you kinda need to know what Kotlin is cutting out to make sense of things. But once I got into it, it just feels so much faster and expressive than Java.
I’m really happy when I see Kotlin being adopted outside of Android, like in backend services and such. But that rarely happens.

I’ve heard in a couple of places that the TV, streaming, and movie systems can’t really make an appealing offer to top-tier YouTubers. YouTubers want the prestige of being a “real” content producer, and not “just” a YouTuber, but non-YT producers can’t offer the level of control one has over their own channel. It’s not even about money, it’s about taking orders from some executive about not only content but monetization as well.
The full GTA V source code has been leaked The leak contains GTA V source code and stuff from Bully 2 and GTA VI Leaked in a discord server by a random British guy in the 360 modding community known to get sued by Rockstar multiple times...
Can you elaborate more? What are “corporate simps” saying about Kurtaj exactly? If he’s mentally unwell, shouldn’t people be supporting efforts for his recovery?
I admit I hadn’t read anything about the situation before that post - I only knew that GTA VI leaks occurred and wanted to know what the GTA community was saying. I read more after posting and people say Kurtaj is autistic, and I didn’t mean to imply that autism is something that requires “recovery.” It’s just the way people describe Kurtaj… like he’s some kind of mad super villain. He’s violent, well-spoken, extremely talented, irreverently defiant, obsessed with digital extortion, and reckless to his own detriment. Either Kurtaj is a highly singular personality or there’s something fishy going on here.
Using Kotlin. I switched careers to Android development almost 2 years ago, and maybe it’s my first “real” language, I really like Kotlin and IntelliJ. I’ve been wanting to learn low-level stuff, too, maybe I’ll try C or C++. Or C# since that’s what my backend devs use. But this year’s puzzles have been pretty intense, so maybe I’ll wait on that

former smokers, do you ever have random moments months or years later where you just get textbook "cravings" symptoms?

How will you be tackling the challenges this year?
What language(s) will you be using? Will you be trying anything different this year to usual?
