I’m pretty sure that’s just the sunk-cost fallacy of having acquired a tolerance to it.

Also; the sarcastic “still tastes like soap” slogan itself dates back to the late 90s. I once saw an unaltered photo of the package on a SomethingAwful Photoshop Phriday.

Part 2: Hold my beer.

Shout out to my former housemate, Karl Z., whose copy of Evangelion I originally watched and who failed to tell me about the multiple endings, thus making me sit through both the original ending and a clip show just because of the “awesome cliff-hanger” between parts 1 and 2 of The End of Evangelion.

@iliana

This statement is technically true but fills me with screaming revulsion.

(Also, it’s not like sysv init is big or unreliable. You may as well throw it onto your single-app system just in case. And make the screaming stop.)

@troubleMoney

Captain America: I got that reference.

(I missed most of this really stupid drama and only got the actual (very smart) security advice, so win for me.)

BTW, my employer in Ottawa is looking to fill a couple of positions that are half dev, half devops, mostly in Java, C++ and Python. If you’re looking for work here, feel free to ping me for details.

Boosts okay.

@tasnyx

The first time someone figures out how to monetize carbon sequestration, climate change will be over.

@em

You have the causality backwards. All violent video games started out as stress relief for game devs having to deal with gamer culture. All of the bad guys were originally gamers before marketing reskinned them as terrorists or something.

Call Of Duty was originally called Invade Gamerstan. GTA V was Gamer Roadkill and the infamous torture scene was originally just a bunch of gamedevs explaining to a gamer that his favourite protagonists were all trans.

@polychrome

I’m idly thinking of putting together a lets-play-style video of me playing #ReLarn the next time I put out a release. My current model for doing this is to imitate Bob Ross.

@xaphania

This looks kind of like what you get when your display resolution is not exactly the same as your LCD monitor’s (relatively low) physical resolution. Have you looked into that?

@bclindner

Apparently, enough people have asked him about doing that that he's sick of the question.

(Although there was that 30 Rock episode where he got close.)

@cj

I Have Not. But I'm glad he's taking up the Rush mantel.

@bclindner

I know, right?

(Although to be fair, Al is also in incredible musician so it's not like this is a *bad* comparison.)
