Notch bought a mansion with a candy wall and he had to throw away the candy because it went rotten because even though he's a literal billionaire he doesn't have any friends.

apparently the chuddieness is a result of the no friends, and the lack of friends is because his money has just made him paranoid. He has nothing in common with other rich people, and doesn't trust anyone who isn't rich to not just act like his friend to get to his money

sadly, by becoming so nasty about he, he guaranteed neither thing will ever change

Which is weird cos if I had two billion dollars I would be quite happy if people were just my friend for money because 1. I have friends and 2. they get money I don't need. Seems like win win.

he has that childish notion of friendship that it should be pure and they should love you for who you are and not what you have

but he drove all his friends from before money off by being a shitheel who kept all the money instead of giving people the shares they had earned with their work, so he is never going to get that

I feel bad for him, but that doesn't change the fact that he is getting what he deserves for consistent chuddery throughout his life, there is a pattern

Yeah I remember when hard disk manufacturers stopped using "master/slave" as terms for chaining setups

It seemed like insanity at the time but you know what, we lived

We will deal, for sure, but the fact that we are going to be working around concepts much older than hard drive configuration means there is going to be an absolutely hilarious period where we fumble around for new ways to say "this product is for white people" in an industry where your skin color absolutely has to matter.

what other kinds of cheese do you use for fajitas

like this might just be some canadian thing but if I ordered fajitas at a restaurant I'd expect there to be a bowl of shredded cheese on the table as part of the order, so it doesn't seem very odd to me

its not canadian, because as someone who grew up on the mexican border, I expect much the same, and for there to be shredded cheese in plenty of other dishes.

The deal is that in the English-speaking world, writing books for children and teens has been mostly “women’s work” since the 18th century. Of course, as in all “women’s work” fields, the dudes who choose to do it get more money, attention, and respect, but still.

This was all started off by someone who implied in a tweet that there hadn't been any women authors before JKR, so we need to respect her for pushing the feminism field forward. As you point out, not only is this bullshit, she didn't even break into a new genre or anything
