i've done that it's no big deal. they just put it up front when you get on and you get it when you get off. i've also folded it over and put it overhead, but that was before they crammed so many people in when there was room. the started cramming and an attendant was like "hey i'll hang that up for you" and now i ask them to and they always have

granted i haven't flown in a couple years. the last time i hung a suit on a flight was maybe 2018?

i would've guessed a country outlawed cartoon child porn

sometimes the internet isn't as terrible as i expected.

now let's reflect on the fact that "i might get in trouble for yelling racial slurs at children, and that's bad" is better than i expected

"viable" there clearly doesn't mean "existing", it probably means something about the energy used in mining ore for the batteries and stuff

there's enough dumb poo poo on hackernews without pretending to misunderstand basic statements

jesus christ it's not saying "let ME do something", it's saying "let VARNAME be something"

you're literally telling the compiler it has to allow something

it's a super authoritative, imperative statement. jesus if they're gonna be stupid you'd think they could at least understand the fuckin language they're being stupid in

I expect them to be a bunch of reactionary freaks, but I at least expect them to be reactionary freaks that can parse basic sentences

when people say that, they're generally responsive to the "it's important that hiring women isn't more risky than hiring men, so they both need the same leave. otherwise companies will always prefer to hire men that can't peace out for family leave and it'll suck for women and they'll get paid less and <gestures at the world>"

i mean they have to not be totally terrible humans, so this is likely not relevant to the conversation. but it's a really powerful argument imo that people sometimes miss

while you are absolutely right, jones, i just find it super funny how even when the philosopher-kings of hackernews are just pontificating about policy they still inadvertently drop references to how everyone in the real world finds them insufferable

oh for sure, wasn't trying to argue or anything. just goin off on a lil tangent :)

i kickstarted so so many things back in the day. board games, video games, miniatures, rpgs, movies, art projects. iirc the only one that really burned me was an activist art collective thing, even though there were definitely _some_ people who got screwed on a couple poorly-managed miniature projects - i just got lucky that they sent my package before running out of money.

now i just throw money at ken crawford once or twice a year and that's pretty much it. and i guess i buy retro watches from there too.

they have them, but do their best not to engage or show emotions - including empathy - because the star trek narrative of emotion's opposition to what they mistakenly call "logic" has taken hold

emotion = bad and dumb of course didn't originate with star trek, we have centuries of misogyny for that too. but it's funnier to blame spock than aristotle
