This graphic novel asks the hard question: is a cult necessarily a bad thing? SPOILER: MOST OF THE TIME YES. But not always. That's the human condition. Strong recommend: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1945509635

codinghorror,

@kfanyo @zeh graphic novel has always meant just that, a story told with pictures, like a giant comic book. I'm not aware of "graphic novel" meaning "graphic sex" in my lifetime, at least. That's a bit like saying "adult education center" means.. uh.. sex? like "adult movies"? It's just.. not correct IMO.

it's so weird how call of duty mw3 disabled chat at the end of the game. Maybe there was too much smack talk? I can't even say gg now.

codinghorror,

@Nerdfest @Cmastication 100% agree but it's dead. They aren't going to evolve or improve it. It's "legacy" :(

codinghorror,

@Cmastication yeah I get it but I send love at the end, because I build the world I want to see.

codinghorror,

@Cmastication it's amazing how being exceptionally kind can completely change the vibe in the "room" of the game. It works. I've done it. Many times. One guy literally asked me if I was a therapist. Maybe I am lol

I complained about this on the bird site, but man. Printers are still a nightmare, even after all these years. My pretty much brand new printer (6 months old?), unless I reboot it every time I use it, shows up as "USB connection error" in Windows. Every. Single. Time. But! If I reboot it first, it's fine.

Earned my first road rash today, after a year and a half of cycling, and further hardened my conviction that every car out there is a goddamned menace.

Especially, it turns out, Jaguars. /1

codinghorror,

@gknauss well, ideally they do

Poor Things is like a much, much more accessible The Lobster. It is almost as good as Everything Everywhere All At Once which is an unbelievable compliment. See it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlbR5N6veqw

codinghorror,

@mdfranz Mr. Matt Franz you are now dead to me

codinghorror,

@mattdm what the actual hell, man

codinghorror,

@u47 I dunno, these are objectively so good that it's hard to take people who hate them seriously. Go watch cartoons?

codinghorror,

@ristkof @u47 it's like people who say "I don't like chocolate". I mean, OK, but are you sure you're an actual human? 👽

Just because the right-wing are anti-Taylor doesn't mean everyone on the left needs to start stanning a billionaire.

There are no good billionaires. If she was a good person, she wouldn't be one either. It's fine to enjoy her music but she's as harmful as every other billionaire for simply existing.

Do I think some billionaires are more actively harmful than others? Sure. But none of them should be billionaires. There are no good ones.

codinghorror,

@kitoconnell I personally think there should be an absolute cap on how much money any one family can have. We can debate the amount, but the amounts right now are so absurdly high, that helps no one.

I have had several people that received the ban hammer recently grousing about how it goes against my air of “kindness” and the quote I have in my profile. I firmly believe in the importance of being kind to other people. But there are limits.

Do not confuse kindness with weakness, please.

codinghorror,

@jerry this is why we love you

a male engineer just referred to the only woman on the team as "the team mom." dear men: don't ever. EVER. do this

codinghorror,

@unrelatedwaffle ugh. I am on team men and I gotta say, our team kinda sucks and needs to do a lot better. Hopefully we can help each other improve.

This Happiness Lab podcast episode "Unhappy Millionaire" is kind of blowing my mind. I've written about Dan Gilbert before, he's a genius, and it just gets better and better from there. Hard recommend (minus the annoying hard-coded ads) -- I guarantee this will surprise you in ways you absolutely don't see coming https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/the-happiness-lab-with-dr-laurie-santos/the-unhappy-millionaire

codinghorror,

@jjarava Thank you! I will edit. Linkrot is a curse.
